NRA BASICS OF PISTOL SHOOTING

---

TK2A Training has NRA Certified Instructors who teach the NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting course.  The NRA continually updates the program and this course is intended for all individuals regardless of previous shooting experience or NRA-affiliation and is available for delivery in two ways. 

Option one, is the traditional, Instructor Led course where you will receive direct instruction from an NRA Certified Instructor from beginning to end. 

Option two, is a more modern approach, it is called Blended Training and has two separate components: 

The first, a self-study or “eLearning module” that is completed online in your own time-frame.

The second, the hands-on, practical portion conducted in our classroom and shooting range with our NRA Certified Instructor.

The Instructor Led only program takes place in a traditional classroom and range environment. 

This course may be completed in a single day format or over several days with smaller blocks of instruction. If you are interested in the Instructor Led course contact us to arrange it.     

The Blended training format provides students the flexibility to complete a significant portion of the course in an eLearning environment, prior to arriving for the classroom and range session with an NRA Certified Instructor. 

You can contact us to get a Course Control Code for the “eLearning module.” 

When you register for the blended course online you will create a unique username, password and then follow directions to complete the self-study portion of the eLearning module prior to the date of the in person portion. 

Course topics include: gun safety rules, proper operation of revolvers and semi-automatic pistols, ammunition knowledge and selection, pistol selection and storage, shooting fundamentals, pistol inspection and maintenance, marksmanship, and shooting range safety.     

Additionally, students will complete live fire training and a nationally standardized shooting qualification while on the range with an NRA Certified Instructor. 

Students will receive the NRA Guide: Basics of Pistol Shooting handbook, take a Basics of Pistol Shooting Student Examination and after safely completing the course each student will receive an NRA certificate bearing the signature of the NRA Secretary and your NRA Certified Instructor

If you are considering becoming an NRA Instructor the NRA requirement that you have to complete the Instructor Led Course to meet the pre-requisite for the Instructor Course has been relaxed to allow the Distance Learning as well as the Blended programs.
