Does anyone know of a place that gives rifle lessons? My son (13) has been shooting and hunting for 4 years. We shoot plunty, but at 100yds max. He has the desire to shoot 200-400 and one day maybe do competition. We have several bolt action rifles .22, .223 and .308. Just need someone with more knowledge then me to teach him. $$$ Thanks.

It might help if you told where you’re located/ how far you’d travel to get the services you ask for.

Check out Appleseed shoots. Don't know if they have age limits. Appleseed teaches marksmanship.

A number of the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore have junior shooting programs.
https://associatedgunclubs.org/
The NRA offers Training.
http://www.nrainstructors.org/search.aspx
The CMP has many associated clubs with Junior Programs.
https://ct.thecmp.org/app/v1/index.php?do=clubSearch
He can learn a lot by reading the links on this page:

Tell him to start with the second entry from above.

I second this. You will want to use a semi auto .22 since they are timed stages. This is absolutely the cheapest 2 day course that teaches the fundamentals. It gives a great foundation for rifle shooting.

Intros are generally nice . But in this instance a straight foreward , noncontroversal , direct query on a relevant topic . No harm , no foul .
Yes , it would seem basic marksmanship training is what the OP is looking for . The helpful links in post #5 give several possibilities.

Hey, quit pickin' on the new guy. I never did an intro post and nobody ever bothered me
Yep, I don’t see the need to always tell the newbies to go post in the intro section. It ain’t like they are standing in front of you ready to shake your hand after telling you their life story.

I'm always happy to bring guests to Quantico and demonstrate basic long range marksmanship skills from 200 to 1000 yards (depending on which ranges are open). The key to going beyond a zero range like 100 yards is understanding ballistics and reading the wind.
I shoot a variety of calibers at distance. .223, .308. 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55mm, .30-06. The first three are my preferences. As the weather warms up I'll be getting down to QSC more often.

Ed Shell at Central Virginia Tactical
Dan Newberry at Bang Steel
I have taken courses with both, and both do a good job, but with different approaches.
Both will run you out to over 1000 yards.

I never did an intro. Is it too late now? Have you guys been giving me crappy advice all these years because I didn't do an intro? lol

Hey I never did either but I joined in 2005
Appleseed is a fantastic program! My club sponsors them at the AGC so I'll probably see you and your son there!
My bad. I did a search and I never did an intro either. 
Then again, maybe we never had an introduction section in those days.
