Confident Shots - Building Skill, Speed, Assurance

Description

You’ve completed NSSF’s First Shots® and Next Shots and now it’s time to step boldly into the next stage of your shooting journey. Are you ready to move beyond comfort and into confidence??

Please Note: This is not a beginner class.
Confident Shots is designed for shooters who have already built a solid foundation in safety and marksmanship and are ready to advance their skills.

This course helps you turn strong fundamentals into consistent performance, even when the clock is ticking and the pressure is on. During this focused two-hour range session, you’ll refine your consistency, manage recoil, and build true confidence in your ability to shoot accurately, safely, and efficiently.

Participants who demonstrate safe gun handling, score 80 or higher on the B-8 target at 10 yards, and complete a clean capstone run will proudly earn their Confident Shots Certificate of Completion.

By the end of class, you’ll walk away with practical skills, measurable progress, and the kind of confidence that only comes from competence.

Please note: Range fees are separate and are paid directly to the range. Ammunition may be purchased at the range, or you may bring your own.
