NRA FIRST Steps Pistol Course
(4-5 hours / $100 per individual / 100 rounds)

This course follows the NRA's FIRST Steps pistol curriculum, and focuses on your pistol type (either semi-auto or revolver).  The NRA requires a minimum of three hours instruction time for this course, but please budget at least four to five hours as I do not feel a solid grounding in the fundementals can be achieved with the minimum standard. Again, I train you to achieve your goals rather than to a time standard so we will work longer if needed.

This course is offered as a one-on-one instruction, but I will accomodate if you desire to bring your spouse or a friend.  Quality of instruction is more important to me than high customer volume, so this class is limited to only a few students at a time.

Course Outline

 The NRA's FIRST Steps Pistol Course is designed for those new to pistol shooting, or for those who desire a re-bluing of their pistol marksmanship skills.  Plan to spend about 2 1/2 - 3 hours in the classroom, and around 1 - 1 1/2 hours on the range.

The following topics are covered, but only for a single type of pistol (either a semi-auto, or a revolver)
    - Firearms safety, safe storage, and gun owner responsibilities
    - Characteristics of EITHER semi-automatic pistols or revolvers (you choose)
    - Fundamentals of pistol marksmanship 
        (body stance, grip, and the five fundamentals)
    - Clearing malfunctions safely
    - Ammunition selection
    - Care and Maintenance of your investment
