NRA Course Order at ACSHA
The Adams County Sport Handgunners Association (ACSHA) offers the National Rifle Association’s Basic Pistol Course. Our NRA certified instructors will teach you the basics of handgun safety, care, operation and marksmanship.
NOTE: there is an order in which the courses are completed.
Please follow the timeline below; you cannot move on to the next course until you pass the course prior.
It's a great way to introduce new shooters to handguns and a refresher course for those of you who haven't picked up a gun in a while. The course runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a Saturday and a Sunday. There will be both classroom instruction and time on the range.
NRA Personal Protection in the Home Training
This course is focused on defensive tactics and pistol-craft in a home setting. It is an 2 day course and runs from 8:30 a.m. until approximately 5 p.m. on both days (with a 1/2 hour lunch break in addition to other short breaks throughout the day). A good deal of course time is spent on the range learning more advanced shooting techniques (shooting from cover and concealment, shooting while kneeling, point shooting, etc.). Classroom time focuses on the law of self defense and defensive tactics and planning.
NRA Personal Protection Outside the Home Training
To take this course you must have completed the NRA Basic Pistol and Personal Protection Inside the Home courses and become familiar with the information presented in both courses. This course does not permit time to cover information that has already been covered in the previous courses but instead builds upon that knowledge to take you to the next level.
