NRA Basic Pistol Instructor Certification

I had a busy weekend. I made the trip up to ShootSafe Academy to take the 20-hour instructor’s course to qualify to teach the NRA Basic Pistol course. The whole thing was pretty exhausting, but worth the effort.

I learned a lot more than I thought I would. While I will be getting my instructor’s credentials in a few weeks, I still have some major effort in getting my presentations ready. But I can already incorporate some of the useful information I got from Bill and Dan in my regular CHL courses.

Meanwhile, I have identified some other courses that I would definitely like to qualify on, such as the “Refuse to be a Victim” course. ShootSafe hasn’t scheduled the instructor’s course for that yet, so it’s likely to be a few months before I get to take that one.
