NRA Instructor
Have you thought about teaching others and passing your passion for the firearms sports on to future generations? If so you might consider becoming an NRA instructor. I can help you with that goal.
So lets get down to requirements:
The NRA states that to become an instructor, a candidate must:
1) Possess and demonstrate a solid background in firearm safety and shooting skills required through previous training and or previous shooting experience. Instructor candidates must be intimately familiar with each action type in the discipline they wish to be certified.
2) Demonstrate solid and safe firearms handling skills required to be successful during an instructor training course by completing pre-course questionnaires and qualification exercise administered by a Training Counselor (i.e. Me).
3) Satisfactorily complete an NRA Instructor Training Course in the discipline they wish to teach (i.e. Basic Pistol), and receive the endorsement of the NRA Training Counselor (i.e. Me).
4) For the Basic Pistol Instructor rating you must complete the Instructor Led Basic Pistol Class. You must get a 90% grade to pass.
5) If you have not had a Basic Instructor Training (BIT) class in the last 2 years you must take this as well.
6) NRA instructor training is not available to any individual who has been convicted of a crime of violence, or who is prohibited by federal, state, or local laws from possessing firearms.
