SUMMARY:NRA Basic Pistol
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegistration closed. \nThe topics presented in the NRA Basic Pistol class form the core knowledge and skills used in all pistol shooting activities\, including 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 approach to the basics of firearms training and is great for brand new shooters and for experienced shooters who wish to build a stronger foundation of knowledge and skills. \n  \n  \nProgress through the course is not driven by a schedule.  We will move through the curriculum as quickly or slowly as necessary to allow the students to learn the material.  The training 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. \n  \nAll live fire for the Basic Pistol course will be conducted on a one-on-one basis with an NRA certified instructor.  We will start with a .22 caliber pistol and ammunition provided by Critical Edge.  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 notify Critical Edge in advance. \n  \nThe course will be held within an easy driving distance of Harrisburg\, Mechanicsburg\, and \nCarlisle\, PA at the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association on the dates below.  We will meet in the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse.  To ensure close personal attention for each student\, this course is limited to 6 people. \n  \nThere are no training prerequisites for this class.  The course is open to U.S. citizens age 21 and above that may legally possess a firearm.  Students below age 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.  Please coordinate the attendance of students below the age of 21 with Critical Edge in advance of signing up for the class.   Due to current interpretations of International Traffic in Arms Regulations stemming from the Arms Export Control Act of 1976\, only current\, lawful “US Persons” – both US Citizens and lawful permanent Resident Aliens in possession of a current I-551 (colloquially known as a “Green Card”) are allowed to participate in NRA firearms training courses.

SUMMARY:Critical Edge Intermediate Pistol
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegistration closed. \n  \n  \nThe Critical Edge Intermediate Pistol class is for students at skill levels from new pistol owners to those who grew up with firearms and want to improve their defensive firearms capabilities.  It is a class designed to bridge the gap between marksmanship on a conventional range and the defensive application of a pistol.  This is an ideal class for someone that has taken a basic pistol class who doesn’t feel they’re quite ready for a home defense or concealed carry course.  It is equally good for an experienced shooter that is new to defensive shooting.   This class is practical pistol training intended to assist participants in achieving much higher levels of proficiency.  Regardless of previous experience it will help to build on the fundamentals of shooting\, foster safety in the handling of firearms and help participants avoid bad habits.  The class goes beyond basic operation and introduces students to the use of a firearm in defensive situations.    This class will reinforce skills learned in Basic Pistol like proper grip\, stance\, sight alignment\, and trigger press\, as well as address common handgun malfunctions\, reloads\, the use of cover and concealment and close quarters application of a defensive firearm.  This is a class that can be taken multiple times in order to polish basic defensive pistol skills.  While the cost of ammunition has dropped considerably from the height of the shortage\, laser pistols will be relied upon as an effective way to learn skills and to reduce ammunition costs. \n  \nThe course will be held within an easy driving distance of Harrisburg\, Mechanicsburg\, and Carlisle\, PA at the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association on the dates below.  We will meet in the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse.  To ensure close personal attention for each student\, this course is limited to 9 people. \n  \nThere are no training prerequisites for this class.  Students must\, however\, be competent in the safe handling and operation of their firearm.  The course is open to U.S. citizens age 21 and above that may legally possess a firearm.  Due to current interpretations of International Traffic in Arms Regulations stemming from the Arms Export Control Act of 1976\, only current\, lawful “US Persons” – both US Citizens and lawful permanent Resident Aliens in possession of a current I-551 (colloquially known as a “Green Card”) are allowed to participate in NRA firearms training courses. \n  \nLive fire will be conducted with the student’s pistol and ammunition.  The drills will be “performance based” to increase the student’s knowledge\, competence and confidence in the defensive use of a pistol. The drills will encompass rapid movement and other physical activity to push the students to perform under a degree of “stress.”  Expect to shoot 250-300 rounds during the live fire segment of the class.  Hearing and eye protection are required as are two extra magazines or\, if a revolver is to be used\, at least two speed loaders.  A belt mounted magazine or speed load holder is highly recommended as is a strong side belt mounted holster that was made specifically to fit your pistol.

SUMMARY:Critical Edge Intermediate Shotgun
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nRegistration closed. \n  \nContinuing to build on the foundation of safely handling a shotgun acquired in the NRA Basic Shotgun class\, this class is orientated towards the defensive use of a shotgun and includes material on gun handling\, reloads\, malfunctions\, engagement of multiple targets and use of cover and concealment.  It is an ideal stepping-stone to a home defense with shotgun course and a great opportunity for students to polish the skills learned in the home defense class. \n  \nThe drills will be “performance based” to increase the student’s knowledge\, competence and confidence with a shotgun. The drills will also encompass rapid movement and other physical activity to push the students to perform under a degree of “stress.” \nThere are no formal training prerequisites for this class.  Students must\, however\, be competent in the safe handling and operation of their firearm.  The course is open to U.S. citizens age 18 and above that may legally possess a firearm.  Under federal law\, however\, certain non-U.S. citizens are prohibited from participating in this course.    Only non-U.S. citizens who are: (1) lawfully permanent residents (e.g.\, green card holders); (2) refugees; or (3) individuals who have been granted asylum may participate in this course. \n  \nProgress through the course is not driven by a schedule.  We will move through the curriculum as quickly or slowly as necessary to allow the students to learn the material.  The training goals of the course are to provide an introductory foundation to enable the students to safely and successfully practice defensive shotgun skills on their own and to prepare them to continue into more advanced training. \n  \nLive fire will be conducted with the student’s shotgun and ammunition.  Expect to shoot 250 – 300 rounds during the live fire segment of the class.  Hearing and eye protection are required.  Semi automatic and pump shotguns in either 12 or 20 gauge are recommended for the class.  Single barrel/single shot shotguns and double barrel shotguns will greatly hamper the ability of students to participate in many of the drills and present a considerable barrier to defensive skills development.  A sling\, shotgun mounted shell holder and a body worn shell carrier are all recommended.   An ammunition pouch is also helpful and recommended.  If you are purchasing a shotgun or accessories prior to this course\, check with Critical Edge for some advice about  options before making your purchase. \n  \nThe Critical Edge Intermediate Shotgun course will be held within an easy driving distance of Harrisburg\, Mechanicsburg\, and Carlisle\, PA at the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association on the dates below.  We will meet in the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse.   To ensure close personal attention for each student\, this course is limited to 9 people. \n

SUMMARY:Critical Edge Home Defense Shotgun
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegistration closed. \nA shotgun can be a devastatingly effective tool for home defense.  But a shotgun is not a magic wand.  Like any tool\, a shotgun has advantages and disadvantages.  Critical Edge’s Home Defense with Shotgun course provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of a shotgun for protecting oneself and one’s family in the home.  The curriculum includes techniques and strategies designed to deter burglars\, home invaders and other criminals.   Included are ways to make your home less appealing to criminals who will be inclined to seek easier targets.  The course also includes information on development of a home defense plan\, shooting positions\, aiming and firing techniques\, the use of cover and concealment\, methods of clearing various types of firearm malfunctions and segments on selfdefense law and the aftermath of a defensive shooting.   The skills presented in this course form the core shooting skills used to counter a life-threatening attack in the home using a shotgun. \n  \nThe course will be held within an easy driving distance of Harrisburg\, Mechanicsburg\, and \nCarlisle\, PA at the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association on the dates below.  We will meet in the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse.  To ensure close personal attention for each student\, this course is limited to 9 people. \n  \nThere are no training prerequisites for this class.  Students\, however\, must be competent in the safe handling and operation of their shotgun.  Live fire will be conducted with the student’s shotgun and ammunition.  Expect to shoot 250-300 rounds during the live fire segment of the class.  Hearing and eye protection are required.  A belt mounted ammunition pouch is recommended.  The drills will be “performance based” and include a degree of stress to develop the student’s knowledge\, competence and confidence. \n  \nThe course is open to U.S. citizens age 18 and above that may legally possess a firearm.  Due to current interpretations of International Traffic in Arms Regulations stemming from the Arms Export Control Act of 1976\, only current\, lawful “US Persons” – both US Citizens and lawful permanent Resident Aliens in possession of a current I-551 (colloquially known as a “Green Card”) are allowed to participate in firearms training courses.
