A: Short answer: Yes!!
A: Long answer: The new NRA Blended-Learning Basic Pistol Shooting Course Is the NRA’s response to the overwhelming request of eligible U.S. citizens who wanted the efficiency and know-how of a proven instructional system available to them in the comfort of their own home. The “Blended” course allows participants to learn at their own pace (within an allotted time frame), test and progress at their own speed and seek out a certified NRA instructor of their choosing to complete the “2nd Phase” of training.

A: No. Children registered for this instruction will ONLY fire non-lethal gun systems such as the Tippman 98 paintball gun, Airsoft Glock pistol, Daisy CO2 BB hand gun and SIRT Laser trainer handgun(s). The focus of this course is to teach children ages 9-15 gun safety and fundamental marksmanship skill-sets.

A: The short answer, No not on their own.
A: However, for our parents and guardians of children ages 9-15 we do teach an all-inclusive “parent-child” NRA handgun course (NRA First Steps Pistol Orientation) that awards a certificate at the completion. This course of instruction focuses on learning the specifics of YOUR handgun and the proper techniques in using it. As in any of our courses safety is paramount and this course is designed to assist gun owners in being more comfortable around their privately owned handgun and knowing how to be a responsible, mature gun-user. With that said, we gladly will and have taught entire families on the safety aspects of a gun already in their possession in their home.

A: Basically it’s classroom instruction versus Online instruction. A number of request have come in asking us to teach a basic handgun course that is classroom based; where students and instructors interact, live demonstrations are performed and participants can question, practice and learn all in an environment of friends/peers and under the guidance of qualified, experienced instructors. That’s not to say that online instruction is not as good as a live instructor, but rather it’s a way of instruction that appeals to some – as the saying goes
“different strokes, for different folks.”

A: We believe so, every student that comes thru our door is taken through a plan of instruction that is tried and true and by applying what is taught in the course, thus far ALL of our students have benefited from instruction and have shown a marked improvement in their shooting skills. And not to brag,…..but have all passed with pretty high scores!:-)

A: Absolutely. Our instructors are experienced, seasoned veterans who hold numerous certifications to include instructor Certs for North Carolina Concealed Carry Handgun, multiple NRA pistol/rifle certifications, Range safety officers, CPR/AED credentialing as well as Department of State Basic Field Firearms Officer Course and Department of Defense Instructor training. Our instructors bring a combined 40+ years of experience to the table and pass on the knowledge to each and every student that passes thru the NAC door.

A: Yes, we offer both Private and Semi-Private lessons. 1-on-1 instruction, family designed courses, “Ladies Only” Classes and of course our conventional classroom instruction.

A: Course fees are all inclusive, unless stated otherwise within the course description or participant packet which is mailed out to prospective participants. Additional cost associated with classes may include range safety classes such as the case when using the Wake County Range shooting complex, ammunition cost which students would purchase prior attending the class to cover required range practical shooting exercises and processing fees collected by your county’s law enforcement agency will apply for participants who enroll in our NC Concealed Carry Handgun Course.
As always, all course fees listed are per student/participant.

A: With proper pre-approval and preparation, yes, we can and have conducted courses in a variety of locations. If this is an avenue you are interested in exploring, be sure to call or email us so we can discuss all of the options as well as the discounts that apply for group classes.

A: No, however, if you attend one of our courses and are not a current gun owner we will provide you with a .22 caliber gun to shoot during the “range portion” of the class. Ammunition is available for purchase for students who are not current gun owners.

A: Yes, each student will receive a NRA completion certificate for the course and discipline they receive instruction in from us. For students who take the combined Basic Pistol and NC Concealed Carry Handgun Course; two (2) certificates will be presented at the successful completion of that course. Our Youth Run & Gun Kamp awards both certificates and skill/course completion badges.

A: Coupons both here on the site and on our Face Book page are available for use. At the time of course registration be sure to include the coupon with your registration packet and payment. One (1) is allowed per student, or one (1) per couple for our “Dueling Lovers ” course or one per (1) family for our “Can’t nobody out-shoot Dad” course..

A: Each course provides a student packet which includes, a student book for the respective NRA course registered for, NRA membership and competitive shooting material, a course completion certificate and student test.

A: The short answer. No
A: The Long Answer, Any time our students invest more time and practice in their newly applied skills, efficiency and abilities increase. As the old adage goes, “Practice makes Perfect” and the same is certainly true in a perishable skill set such as marksmanship. If you are already a member of a shooting facility in your area we will gladly run the “range” portion of the class on the range of your choosing. If you are not currently a member, we have a number of ranges to choose from that could become your new “home” for your new-found enthusiasm.

A: A qualified (permanent) resident alien is able to apply for pistol purchase permits and own pistols. However, they do not qualify for a concealed carry handgun (CCH) permit. Although they are allowed to take the course, They would have to wait until they bec0me a Naturalized Citizen to be able to apply for their CCH permit.
