NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting (Private)

*Seats in this class are reserved for instructor candidates enrolled in our NRA Pistol Instructor course December 14, 2024. Once you register for the NRA Pistol Instructor Course we will send you the code to access tickets for this class. If you have any questions contact us at [email protected] .

The NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting course is intended for all individuals, regardless of previous shooting experience or NRA-affiliation. This is the traditional, instructor-led course where students will receive direct instruction from an NRA-certified instructor from beginning to end.

Some of the topics in the course include: gun safety rules, proper operation of revolvers and semi-automatic pistols, ammunition knowledge and selection, selecting and storing a pistol, the fundamentals of shooting, and pistol inspection and maintenance. Small classes ensure low student-to-instructor ratios for lots of individualized attention. The course concludes with a written test and a shooting qualification drill. Our patient instructors will be there to assist students every step of the way in a comfortable, non-intimidating environment.

Successful completion of this course is a prerequisite to attending the NRA Pistol Shooting Instructor Course.
