Course Requirement; Basic Pistol + Live Fire

 

Description

 

A pistol, or handgun, is a firearm designed to be fired while being held in one hand.

 

While such firearms are small and compact, they can be the hardest to learn.

 

The Basic Pistol course can be as short as ten hours.

 

In it students will get the NRA's The Basics of Pistol Shooting handbook and intensive lessons in safety, gun handling, the various types of pistols, the fundamentals of pistol marksmanship, various pistol firing positions, several practical exercises on the firing range, cleaning, storage, and a summary of pistol sports and activities.

 

Course Goal“  To teach the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude for owning and using a pistol safely.”—NRA
