Day 1: NRA Instructor Training

I have now completed day one of the NRA Instructor Training that I’m attending. Here is a list of the classes that I’m being trained in:

• Basic Instructor Training ( Pre-requisite for instructors )
• Home Firearms Safety
• Pistol
• Pistol First Steps
• Personal Protection in the Home

So far I have completed the first two in the list. Tomorrow we’ll start another day in which I now become an instructor and must give demonstrations and lead others through a “mock” class. There will also be live fire on the precision range. This will be a testing of firearm skills and accuracy.

I’ve completed my homework for the night. I’ve read through the materials I needed to. I’ve written a dozen or more 3×5 note cards for my presentation tomorrow. The presentations that I’m doing are:

Ammunition Malfunctions (Misfire, Hangfire, Squib)

Benchrest Shooting. Hands on all the way through setup and dry firing as a Teacher/Pupil pair.

Hopefully I’ll do well tomorrow!
