NRA Basic Pistol
2020-10-08 18:30 - 2020-10-09 21:30 UTC | PA
The topics presented in the NRA Basic Pistol class form the core knowledge and skills used in all pistol shooting activities, from informal recreational shooting through hunting, competition and self-defense. Safety is foundational to the entire course. Included are segments on gun handling, shooting positions, pistol shooting activities, pistol types, ammunition, and selection of pistols, ammunition and accessories. I really like the NRA Basic Pistol curriculum. It’s a comprehensive presentation of the basics and is great for brand new shooters and for experience shooters who wish to build a stronger foundation of knowledge and skills. My goal is to ensure that, by the end of the course, all the students have acquired the competence and confidence to safely handle a pistol on their own. The first two evenings of this class will be spent in the classroom. The third day will focus on live fire. All live fire for the Basic Pistol course will be conducted on a one-on-one basis with an NRA certified instructor (me). We will start with a .22 caliber pistol and ammunition that I provide. Those students who already have a pistol of their own, and would like to fire it, will have an opportunity to do so. But, they must bring their own ammunition and let me know in advance.
The course is open to U.S. citizens age 18 and above. Each Basic Pistol course is limited to 8 people.
Students below age 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please coordinate this with me in advance of the course.
We will have two Basic Pistol courses in October at Duncannon Sportsmen’s. The classroom portion o the first session will be held on the 8th and 9th of October beginning at 6:30 PM both evenings. The live fire for this class will be held on October 10 beginning at 9:00 AM. The course is not time based. Rather, we move through the material at whatever speed the participants absorb the information. The classroom portions will probably end around 8:30 PM both evenings and the live fire will probably end around 6:00 PM.
