NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course – 05/02/2026 in Quincy, WA

Testimonials

More than I expected. Even before the actual shooting it was explained why I was not consistently hitting the target. It causes me to want to shoot correctly every time.

Lynn

Loved this course. The instructors are super friendly, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. I came in as a novice not knowing anything and already feel more comfortable handling a gun safely. Can’t wait to purchase my own and practice more.

You should have seen their faces when I was hitting the bullseye at 15 yards and they were all over the paper.

Well-rounded and very informative for someone new to pistols, especially the parts and mechanics of guns and cleaning.

I’m so grateful walking away from this course with the confidence of knowing how to load, unload, check, and shoot a gun. The greatest gift is knowing how to handle and properly check a gun!

The class was awesome, from learning how to hold a pistol to shooting to safely cleaning one, I don’t think it could have been better.
