Get ready for an exhilarating journey with the NRA CCW course! 🎉 Our primary goal is to equip you with the essential knowledge, skills, and attitude required to confidently carry a concealed pistol for personal defense.
Led by a dynamic NRA-certified instructor, this course promises direct guidance from start to finish, blending classroom sessions with thrilling shooting range experiences. Whether you prefer a one-day intensive or a spread-out format, we’ve got you covered!
Exciting topics on the agenda include mandatory Firearm Safety, exploring Pistol Nomenclature, selecting the perfect self-defense pistol, mastering Defensive Pistol Skills, honing your Drawing from Concealment techniques, tackling Loading and Stoppage Remediation, cultivating the right Mindset, understanding Carry Modes and Pistol Concealment, and other areas important for the student to confidently, safely and responsibly carry a concealed firearm in the public space.
Course length? No worries – our skilled instructors are at your side during live fire training and you will take a nationally standardized shooting qualification. Success awaits you on the range, all under the expert guidance of an NRA Certified Instructor. Plus, you’ll walk away with reference books, the NRA CCW Student Examination, and proudly sport a course completion certificate signed by the NRA Secretary and your dedicated NRA Certified Instructor.
The NRA Basic Pistol Certification Is Required to enroll in this class. The Instructor will consider Equivalent training on a case-by-case basis, requiring per-qualification on the range.
You will need a handgun suitable for self-defense (9mm or equivalent minimum), a Kydex, or a leather holster with or without a retention device, except for Serpa-type holsters which may not be used in this class. I take no position on, but in light of the controversy still surrounding the Sig Sauer P320, I am on the side of caution suspending their use until further notice. Fabric Holsters are not acceptable. You will also need three magazines or more and a magazine pouch for at least one extra magazine.
This course will require 100 rounds of ammunition; I prefer you have 200 rounds for class. You may need to shoot the qualification more than once to qualify.
