Firearms Training for Responsible Citizens
Whether you are interested in recreational shooting, competition, hunting, gun collecting, historical reenactment, home safety, or personal protection - the basics are where to start! The NRA Basic Firearms Training Courses teaches you the safety principles and helps you develop the knowledge, skills, and attitude that are needed to successfully pursue your shooting interests.

Our major objective is to provide basic training in the safe and proper use of firearms

Currently there are TWO courses offered:

What will you learn in an NRA Basic Firearms Course?
Using the NRA training method of Total Participant Involvement, basic courses provide hands on learning opportunities in the following areas:

safe firearm handling
firearm parts and operation
ammunition and its function
shooting fundamentals and an opportunity to develop them on the range
how to select, clean and store a firearm
review of various activities available to help participants develop and improve their shooting skills

The NRA sanctioned Basic Pistol Course offered at the Hanson Rod & Gun Club will give you the Knowledge, Skills and Attitude to handle and shoot a Pistol safely. You will also be taught Storage, Transportation, Application, the Appeal Process (if needed) to get your FID or Class A or B license and more. This 10 hour course offers a solid base upon which a student can safely build shooting skills and includes 2.5 hours of range time.

All course materials include book, targets, firearms and ammo; eye and ear protection will be provided. So, all that you need to provide is your lunch.
