Student Cost $150
Master the art of the swing and the thrill of shattering clay targets! The NRA Basic Shotgun Course is an action-packed, hands-on program designed to teach you the safe handling, maintenance, and expert marksmanship skills needed to confidently shoot moving targets.
Why Take This Course?
Whether you are a first-time gun owner, a hunter looking to refine your bird-hunting skills, or simply someone who wants to experience the exhilarating sport of trap and skeet, this class builds the ultimate foundation.
What You Will Learn
The class combines engaging classroom lessons with practical live-fire range time:
Firearm Safety: The core NRA rules for safe gun handling and storage.
Shotgun Anatomy: Understanding parts, operation, and different action types (pump, semi-auto, break-action).
Ammunition & Malfunctions: Learning how shells work and how to safely clear common jams.
Shooting Fundamentals: Mastering proper stance, eye dominance, pointing (vs. aiming), and the critical "pass-through" technique for moving targets.
Maintenance: Step-by-step care and cleaning of your shotgun.
What to Expect on the Range
You will put theory into practice by stepping onto the range with certified instructors to shoot straight-away and angled targets. You will learn how to mount your shotgun, track your target, and squeeze the trigger for a perfect break. Most training facilities provide loaner firearms, or you can bring your own.
Course Benefits & Certification
Upon successful completion, you will receive an official NRA course completion certificate, a Basics of Shotgun Shooting handbook, and a marksmanship qualification booklet to track your ongoing skill development.
Course Materials & Perks
Upon successful completion, you will receive:
The Basics of Shotgun Shooting handbook.
