NRA First Steps Pistol
Description FIRST
STEPS for “Firearm Instruction, Responsibility, and Safety Training”, a
program the NRA developed to meet the need for a firearms orientation
program for new gun purchasers. This FIRST Steps program is a basic
courses abbreviated to the most fundamental shooting skills, and the
specifics of a particular model of pistol.
This
course, because of its narrow focus, can be completed as quickly as
three hours. Students will get the NRA's The Basics of Pistol Shooting handbook
and quick practical lessons on the safe use, cleaning, and storage of
their pistol. The practical exercise covers a single pistol shooting
position. As the number of participants or pistol types present increases, the course will take proportionally longer.
Course Goal
To provide
beginning shooters with an introduction to the knowledge, skills, and
attitude necessary to own and use a specific pistol model safely.” 1. Introduction to Pistol Safety, Parts, and Operation Prerequisites
2. Introduction to Ammunition and the Fundamentals of Pistol Shooting
3. Introduction to Pistol Shooting from the Benchrest Position
4. Introduction to Pistol Cleaning, Storage, and Training Opportunities FEE OF $125.00 PAYABLE WITH APPLICATION
Description
Unlike
the other basic courses, the Personal Protection course covers
defensive shooting. Self-defense is a topic somewhat distinct from the
regular diet of shooting fundamentals, it can cover mindset, legal
issues, decision-making under pressure, and planning for the worst. The
Basic Personal Protection in the Home course is designed around the use
of the defensive pistol.
Although
the course can be completed as quickly as eight hours, the amount of
information presented, and the probability of intensive question and
answer sessions on the included topics, makes it likely that the course
will take longer. Course Goal
“To
develop in the students the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude
essential to the safe and efficient use of a handgun for protection of
self and family, and to provide information on the law-abiding
citizen's right to self-defense.” — NRA Basic Personal Protection in the Home Course Lesson Plan Lessons 1. Introduction to Defensive Shooting
2. Basic Defensive Handgun Skills
3. Firearms and the Law: Possession, Ownership, and the Use of Deadly Force Conducted by Respected Attorney John Chapman
4. Strategies for Home Safety and Responding to a Violent Confrontation
5. Selecting a Handgun for Personal Defense
6. Sport Shooting Activities and Training Opportunities
7. Course Review and Examination
Prerequisites
Participants
in the Personal Protection course should be experienced shooters,
showing mastery of the basic skills of safe gun handling. If necessary,
this course will put partcipants through a pre-course evaluation
exercise, where potential students are asked to demonstrate safe gun
handling, shoot a series of five-shot groups, discuss the operations
necessary to zero a pistol, and demonstrate how to properly clean a
handgun.
Finally,
the Personal Protection course is intended for mature law-abiding
adults, who have the mindset and seriousness necessary to properly
perform the activities in the course. Self-defense is not a topic that
lends itself to horseplay and distractions.
Course Completion Students
will be given feedback on their shooting exercises, and a certificate
upon successful completion of the lessons. Not only are shooting
standards fired during the practical exercises, but a written exam will
be given at the end of the course. Throughout the course the instructor
will use a individual checklist for each student to ensure the coverage
of course material, and satisfactory absorption of the material being
taught.
