NRA Pistol First Steps $85.00

This course meets the training requirement for application for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit. FIRST stands for "Firearm Instruction, Responsibility, and Safety Training", a program the NRA developed to meet the need for a firearms orientation program. This FIRST Steps program is a basic course abbreviated to the most fundamental shooting skills.

This course, because of its narrow focus, can be completed in as quickly as three hours. Students will get the NRA's "The Basics of Pistol Shooting" handbook and quick practical lessons on the safe use, cleaning, and storage of their pistol. The practical shooting exercises covers the two-handed standing shooting position and the bench rest position.

Lessons
  • Introduction to Pistol Safety, Parts, and Operation
  • Introduction to Ammunition and the Fundamentals of Pistol Shooting
  • Introduction to Pistol Shooting from the Two-Handed, Standing Shooting Position
  • Introduction to Pistol Cleaning, Storage, and Other Training Opportunities
Course is 3 hours plus range time where students will demonstrate firearms safety while firing a pistol.
