Is This Course For You?

If you are unsure whether the NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting course is appropriate for your skill level, then it likely is. If you have never had formal firearms training (not including a CCW class), then this course is geared for you. Most CCW Classes do not teach you how to shoot. Finally, if you have never had a basic pistol course and would like to attend “Pistol 2” courses with other firearms instructors, they will need proof of formal Basic Pistol training. This IS NOT a CCW Course; however, it is a perfect precursor to the CCW course because many CCW courses do not teach HOW to shoot.
