We offer the NRA "FIRST Steps" Pistol Orientation Course in a friendly, non-intimidating environment. Women and the elderly are especially welcome. You do not need to own a gun or have any prior shooting experience. We use a Beretta 92FS semi-automatic pistol and special 9mm non-lethal lead-free and low-noise training ammunition.

Upon successful completion of the course, we will issue a certificate formally documenting your receipt of firearms instruction. This will satisfy the safety training requirements of most states for a concealed carry permit.

The course is taught in a single three hour session and comprises four lessons. These are:

• Introduction to Pistol Safety, Parts and Operations (45 minutes)
• Introduction to Ammunition and Fundamentals of Pistol Shooting (45 minutes)
• Introduction to Pistol Shooting from the Benchrest Position (60 minutes)
• Introduction to Pistol Cleaning, Storage and Additional Training Opportunities (30 minutes)

We will provide safety glasses for use during live fire exercises. We recommend you wear long un-cuffed pants, long sleeve closed-necked shirt and closed-toe shoes.
