SUMMARY:NRA Basic Pistol
DESCRIPTION:  \n \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. \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. \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. \nThe course will be held within an easy driving distance of Harrisburg\, Mechanicsburg\, and Carlisle\, PA at the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association.  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. \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. \nPreregistration and an initial deposit of 50% is required for registration and reservation of a spot in the class.  You may cancel your reservation up to 72 hours before the class begins and request to receive a full refund or to credit the funds to another Critical Edge class. If cancellation is made in less than 72 hours before the class\, you will receive a credit which may be applied to another Critical Edge class at a later date.  Credit must be used within 180 days. \nThe fee for the course is $145.00.  Members of the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association\, veterans and first responders receive a $15.00 discount.  The fee for members of the U.S. military on active duty is $75.00.   To register\, go to: https://www.nrainstructors.org/CourseDetails.aspx?Courseid=892969     You can pay for the course at:  www.criticaledge.us/make-a-payment/ \nPlease indicate in the comments section if you are a member of the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association\, active duty member of the U.S. military\, veteran or first responder; The course title and the date(s) which you wish to attend; The type and caliber/gauge of any firearm you want to bring to class. \n

SUMMARY:Critical Edge Tactical Pistol
DESCRIPTION:Registration closed. \nThe Critical Edge Tactical 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 intended to be taken multiple times in order to polish basic defensive pistol skills. \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 8 people. \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. \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 three magazines or\, if a revolver is to be used\, at least two speed loaders.  A belt mounted double magazine holder or double speed load holder is highly recommended and a strong side belt mounted holster that was made specifically to fit your pistol is required. \nPreregistration and an initial deposit of 50% is required for registration and reservation of a spot in the class.  You may cancel your reservation up to 72 hours before the class begins and request to receive a full refund. If cancellation is made in less than 72 hours\, you will receive a credit which may be applied to another Critical Edge class at a later date.  Credit must be used within 180 days. \nThe fee for the course is $125.00.  Members of the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association\, veterans and first responders receive a $15.00 discount.  The fee for members of the U.S. military on active duty and students that have previously taken this class is $60.00.   You can reserve a spot in the seminar by going to:  www.criticaledge.us/make-a-payment/     Please also send an email (carl.walker@criticaledge.us ) with the following information: \nName as you want it to appear on your certificate; \nMailing address; \nPhone number; Please indicate if you are a member of the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association\, active duty member of the U.S. military\, veteran or first responder; The course title and the date(s) which you wish to attend; and The type and caliber/gauge of any firearm you want to bring to class.

SUMMARY:NRA Concealed Carry
DESCRIPTION:Preregistration closed.   \nFor many people\, the term “personal protection” evokes movie images of Bruce Lee or characters such as John Wick with arsenals of weapons.  In truth\, the use of force is only one element of personal protection and is a last resort.  Deterrence\, de-escalation\, escape\, evasion or otherwise avoiding violence are all preferable resolutions. The NRA Concealed Carry course is basic training for concealed carry.  It teaches the basic knowledge\, skills and attitude necessary to carry a concealed pistol for personal defense. The NRA CCW Course is intended for all individuals regardless of previous shooting experience or NRA-affiliation. It focuses on the effective use of a concealed firearm for self-defense.  Course topics include: firearm safety\, pistol nomenclature and selecting a pistol for self-defense\, basic defensive pistol skills\, drawing from concealment\, loading and stoppage remediation\, mindset\, carry modes and pistol concealment\, firearm cleaning\, and sport shooting and training activities.

Students will receive reference books\, take a NRA CCW Student Examination and receive a course completion certificate. \nThere are no training prerequisites for this class.  But\, taking the NRA Basic Pistol course or similar training before undertaking the Concealed Carry course is highly encouraged.  Live fire will be conducted with the student’s pistol and ammunition.  Expect to shoot 150 rounds during the live fire segment of the class.  Hearing and eye protection are required as are at least three magazines or\, if a revolver is to be used\, at least two speed loaders.  A belt mounted double magazine holder or double speed load holder and a strong side outside the waistband belt mounted holster that was specifically made to fit your pistol are also required. \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. \nThe 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. \nPreregistration and an initial deposit of 50% is required for registration and reservation of a spot in the class.  You may cancel your reservation up to 72 hours before the class begins and request to receive a full refund.
