NRA-certified range safety officer and instructor Curtis Mordus and the professionals at Rigger Arms teach students safe and proper firearm handling through classroom and firing-range practice. Attendees of the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting class learn firing fundamentals and skills that include how to load ammunition and how to grip the gun without seeming too clingy. The eight-hour course gets students up-to-date on responsible shooting practices and concludes with a student exam. Instructors of the NRA Personal Protection In the Home class dole out practical advice on defensive shooting and strategies for home safety, also shepherding students in the finer points of choosing a handgun for self-defense and reminders that spurs are out of style. Classroom curriculum for both programs augments practice in the onsite firing range’s 10 stations and reference materials from each student’s NRA student packet.

Each class day includes a break for lunch (meal not provided), and each successful graduate earns a completion certificate that ensures you firearm remains proud to be seen in your company. Classes can hold 5–50 participants, and upcoming dates are available on Rigger Arms’ schedule; students may call to inquire about additional sessions not yet listed.
