Firearms On Target

Name: NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course

Short Description:  Teaches the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude for owning and operating a pistol safely.

 More Details:  This course is at least 8-hours long and includes classroom and range time learning to shoot revolvers and semi-automatic pistols.  Students learn NRA’s rules for safe gun handling: pistol parts and operation; ammunition; shooting fundamentals; range rules; shooting from the bench rest position, and two handed standing positions; cleaning the pistol; and continued opportunities for skill development.  Students will receive the NRA Guide to the Basics of Pistol Shooting handbook, NRA Gun Safety Rules brochure, Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification booklet, take a Basics of Pistol Shooting Student Examination, and course completion certificate.  (Lesson Plan 2^nd edition, 2009).

This course will prepare you for taking your Concealed Carry License class.  If you have already taken the Concealed Carry License class, the material in the NRA Basic Pistol Course takes up where that class ended and teaches you how to operate, shoot, and be safe with your personal handgun.  We also go over bullet placement correction and teach you new drills that will improve your skill and make shooting more fun.
