MY FIREARMS TRAINING CLASS
IS BASED ON THE
NRA's FIRST STEPS PISTOL ORIENTATION COURSE.
Firearm Instruction, Responsibility and Safety Training

E-MAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE CLASS

The course covers: Introduction to Pistol Safety, Parts, and Operation Introduction to Ammunition and the Fundamentals of Pistol Shooting Introduction to Pistol Shooting using air guns, (Depending on the location of the Class) Introduction to pistol Cleaning, Storage, and Training Opportunities     I also include in addition to the class: Information on New York State Laws, what to look for and where to find it Information on the application process A separate follow-up class after you get your license, where you can shoot using your gun and some of my guns. The initial class takes about 6 hours.

(If you don't get this book and other NRA supplies and an official NRA Certificate, it is not an NRA Class. Some people give the class and claim to be an NRA INSTRUCTOR. Unless you are giving an official NRA Class the NRA does not allow you to add that you are an NRA instructor.)

    New York State is one of the few states, if not the only state, that does not trust its citizens to even touch a handgun without having a license unless you are from 14 to 21 of age to shoot a handgun at a range under supervision without a license.  The Judges who require the class have never approved a course outline and Orange County does not issue, (for good reason,) the exemption allowed for by law that allows you to handle a handgun without a license.  The NRA FIRST STEPS PISTOL ORIENTATION has it's own requirements to meet it's stated goal:

To provide beginning shooters with an introduction to the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to own and use a specific pistol model safely.

    I supplement the class by letting you shoot air pistols depending on where the class is given.  I use a true 5 shot semi-auto air pistol, (though left handed people might have to shoot right handed.)  All of the same rules apply to the air guns that apply to regular guns and my class is the only one that I know of that does let you shoot a true semi-auto air pistol.  Shooting air guns allows you to learn the same fundamentals of shooting that you will use when you do get your license.  (See my web page link to: WHY YOU SHOULD BUY AN AIR GUN.)

      At Gander Mtn. in Middletown, NYI use a BEAMHIT® 190 PMTS, (Personal Marksmanship Training System,) for use in the class. The Beamhit uses a laser attached to an air pistol. You are able to simulate shooting single action and double action. Your target is scored and printed out. This is a very effective way to train a student the basics of shooting.

    I also cover some of the New York State Laws that you might want to know about and where you can find the laws and books that you can use to answer questions that you might have.  I also go into the details of applying for a LICENSE TO CARRY CONCEALED.  (See my web page link to: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE STATE LAWS THAT I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? )

    I CHARGE $70.00 FOR MY CLASS AT GANDER MTN.
OTHER CHARGES DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION THE CLASS IS GIVEN.
