For those citizens who desire the opportunity to serve their community as a certified rifle instructor, the NRA Basic Rifle Instructor Course is an excellent opportunity to develop the instructional knowledge, skills, and attitude to provide this essential service to law-abiding citizens.

Instructor candidates learn to teach new students the following topics:

  • Nomenclature of rifles & ammunition
  • Rules for safe gun handling,
  • Principles of Marksmanship including the five primary positions of rifle marksmanship
  • Live-fire training
  • How to select & maintain a rifle
  • Continued Opportunities for Skill Development

Class will run from 1630-2130 on Jan 14 and 0800-1830 on Jan 15. Students will complete the NRA Basic Rifle Instructor Training, as required by the NRA.  All course materials are included in the course fee. Cost of the course is $350. This course includes Basic Instructor Training to be held on Jan 14 (required for New Instructor Candidates). Students are responsible for NRA certification fees (~$35/60) paid to the NRA for certification and processing as a rifle instructor. The course is limited to 10 students.  Instructor Candidates are also required to complete the NRA Basic Rifle Shooting Course as a prerequisite for the instructor course.  The Basic Rifle Shooting Course is scheduled for Friday, Jan 14 from 0800-1630.  Student who complete the Basic Rifle Course with me receive a $100 discount on their instructor course.
