Description

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY (we are purposely driven to make your class as personalized for you as possible, therefore we onnly do small classes - generally 1-4 people at maximum with very rare exceptions given to already proficient groups of people).

Your personal course date is always scheduled on demand, as with all of our classes, in order to provide you with maximum flexibility. Contact us to schedule your course today! A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required at the time of scheduling your class. These classes may be rescheduled one time. I will do my best to accommodate you and your schedule.

You have 2 options of completing The NRA Basic Pistol Course 
, and please inquire if you prefer to do Phase 1 online as the NRA makes its changes to its website so we can help you through the process.

You can do entirely instructor-led with us (which we strongly prefer) and you simply show up for class.

NRA Basic Pistol meets the minimum requirements for the State of Colorado for lawful Concealed Carry. It is also a simple, straightforward course designed by the National Rifle Association in order to familiarize you with:

  • the basic fundamentals of gun safety,
  • ownership,
  • function,
  • maintenance,
  • ammunition,
  • and shooting activities.

This class will be taught verbatim from the NRA Basic Pistol course curriculum in order to ensure all instruction is complete and accurate. There will be extended time allotted for firing on the range, unlike other NRA Basic Pistol courses taught at other schools. You will receive your NRA Basic Pistol certificate upon course completion and satisfactory performance on the live range and on the written exam.

I also teach the NRA Eddie Eagle program which is designed for young children.

For Classroom Days: If you want to use a firearm in the classroom portion of the class, an instructor will check to ensure it is unloaded, if you forgot to unload, an instructor will unload it for you to ensure no negligent discharge/s occur.
