NRA Basic Firearm Courses

Helen EvansYou might remember Helen and Peter Evans from the Northern Virginia Friends of NRA Dinner on October 3. I meet a lot of people at NRA events, and as you might imagine, I never hear from a lot of them.

But Helen and Peter got in touch. They e-mailed to ask if I could arrange a tour of the National Firearms Museum. They're taking a day off in celebration of Peter's birthday, and what better way to celebrate than a trip to the Museum?

In our correspondence regarding the details of their tour, they shared a photo essay from a recent rifle safety course with NRA-certified instructor Scott Meyer. And their essay prompted me to write a little about our wonderful Education and Training Department.

The Evanses take firearm courses whenever they are able. "Always try to use your bones, i. e. elbows, knees, etc. for stable support whenever possible," Peter and Helen write in the review of their most recent course.

When you choose an NRA-certified instructor, you know you're learning from the best.

To find an NRA Firearms course in your neck of the woods, visit this site.

Disciplines offered are Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, Home Firearm Safety, Personal Protection In The Home, Personal Protection Outside The Home, Muzzleloading Pistol, Muzzleloading Rifle,
Muzzleloading Shotgun, Metallic Cartridge Reloading, and Shotgun Shell Reloading.
