Our 2-day NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting with live fire is perfect for students new to firearms and busy during the weekend. The student will build a foundation for firearm safety and knowledge in this course. Taught by a Certified NRA Instructor, the student will participate in the live-fire training and nationally standardized shooting qualification.

Day one: (5:30 pm-8:00 pm) The classroom portion (3 hours) covers pistol function, safe firearm handling, firearms storage, ammunition selection, and more.

Day two: (5:30 pm-7:00 pm) The live fire portion of the course (1-2 hours). Students will then take their classroom knowledge onto a private range with a Certified Instructor.
