Basics of Pistol Shooting – NRA Certification Course
Best For: New gun owners who seek broad based training and basic shooting skills, gun owners that don’t plan to CCW, shooters thinking about instructor training
Benefits: Exceeds Florida CWP Requirements, foundation for all NRA Pistol Shooting courses
Are you a new firearm owner or planning on acquiring one? Has it been years since you had the time to fire one? Did you get your CWP and want more training?
This course meets and exceeds the training requirements to obtain a Florida CCW permit, but this is not the 2-3 hour “Florida CWP” course. This instructor provides both new and experienced shooters with an updated, refined experience in the classroom and on the range. This course teaches the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude for owning, storing, and operating a pistol safely. This 8-hour course includes classroom and range time learning to shoot revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. Students will complete live fire training and a nationally standardized shooting qualification while on the range with an NRA Certified Instructor.
Most importantly, during this course you will build the confidence and enthusiasm needed to have fun AND be safe. Students will be exposed to skills improvement methods that you can take home for the future. There will be Q&A time, quality NRA Class Materials, and a hands-on shooting skills experience.
Course topics include:
- Gun Safety Rules
- Proper Operation of Revolvers and Semi-Automatic Pistols
- Ammunition Knowledge and Selection
- Pistol Selection and Storage
- Shooting Fundamentals
- Pistol Inspection and Maintenance
- Marksmanship and Shooting Range Safety
We offer the NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting in the On-line “Blended” format, the ILT (Instructor led Classroom) format, allowing you to learn from home, and complete the course with a short “at-the-range” session. These choices allow for the most convenience as you begin your NRA Training Journey.
We will provide handguns to use if you do not have one and will provide input on current choices in handguns. Please contact the instructor for details. Students that do own a handgun should bring their handgun and 100 rounds of ammunition.
IMPORTANT: Students must not be ineligible to possess a firearm. If you feel that you might have an impediment to firearm ownership, please contact the instructor prior to registration. Wear t-shirt type collars for safety.
