This class is a pre-requisite to the "NRA Basics of Rifle Shooting Instructor" class, for those of you who desire to become NRA Certified Rifle Instructors.



Anyone interested in becoming an “NRA Certified Rifle Instructor” can contact me and I will create a

Waiting list. As soon as I have 4 students, which is the NRA minimum number of students required to hold an Instructor course, I will schedule a rifle Instructor course.



The details are on the post in the calendar, and any questions can be directed to me at…



Additional NRA Instructor Disciplines will be posted in the weeks to follow based on demand.

All Instructor courses require a minimum of four students to run a class; there is no minimum number of students required to run a “Basics” class.

Any NRA Certified Rifle Instructor in the club who is interested in Assisting me may contact me directly…
