NSSF First Shots Intro to firearms

Designed for people with no firearms experience who have an interest in learning how to shoot a handgun or a rifle (including AR platform) but do not yet own a firearm of their own or they own one that they do not know how to use.  

This course will provide a safe & enjoyable first exposure to firearms shooting.  In 2-3 hours we will introduce and demonstrate the basics of firearm safety, fundamentals of grip, stance, sight alignment, and trigger control in a “dry handling” session. 

These classes will be done in small groups of no more than 6-8 individuals so that we are able to work with the student(s) at their pace so that there is a complete understanding and comprehension of the course materials.  

**This course is a required for those considering taking the Conceal Carry Training (CCW/CHL) class who have no firearms experience (Never shot a handgun before).   

A range session can be scheduled and is sometimes available the same day as the classroom portion. We utilize an outdoor range in Waynesville. If the student does not have their own firearm then we will provide one which will be a .22lr semi-automatic with up to 20 rounds of ammo in either a handgun or rifle depending on the class taken.

This course is designed for people with little to no firearms experience who have purchased or inherited a firearm and will be taught specific to the make and model of your firearm!  

This 2-3 hour basic class is designed to learn the basics of handgun safety, storage, cleaning & maintenance of the specific firearm that they own.  Time will be spent teaching you how your specific firearm works, how to do a field strip and clean as well as learning some dry-fire drills so that you can develop good safe habits as a Responsibly Armed American. 

This class will be done one on one unless other individuals within the same residence wants to learn together.

There is no actual live fire training with this class, however, the client can request to add a range session for an additional charge. 

Only one firearm per class per person. Additional firearms may require additional time beyond the initial 2-3 hours depending on the firearms complexity.
