SUMMARY:NRA Rifle Instructor Certification Course
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This 10-hour course teaches the knowledge\, skills\, and attitude essential to organizing\, promoting\, and teaching the NRA’s Basic Rifle Shooting course. This is not about defensive shooting or tactics. It’s also not a shooting course\, so we will not be teaching fundamentals or practicing marksmanship. Instructor candidates are presumed to already know how to shoot. Instead\, the course will focus on helping you learn to be an effective instructor.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]This course teaches firearms trainers how to deliver the NRA’s Basic Rifle lesson plans. Small classes ensure low student-to-instructor ratios for lots of individualized attention. During several mock teaching lessons called “teach-backs\,” instructor candidates will practice teaching assigned lessons in front of the group\, and we’ll offer constructive feedback. Through the teach-backs\, instructor candidates will demonstrate organizational skills\, public speaking skills\, and teaching skills via active participation\, including leading live-fire exercises on the range. Course modules include the following: \n\nTeaching rifle knowledge and nomenclature\nTeaching safe gun handling\nTeaching about rifle ammunition\nTeaching the fundamentals of rifle shooting\nBasic rifle instructional method\nManaging a line of basic rifle shooters on the range\nScoring targets\nTeaching how to select and maintain rifles\nConducting course examinations with basic rifle students\nand much more!\n\nInstructor candidates also must successfully complete the shooting qualification and the written exam. Each instructor candidate will receive the NRA Trainer’s Guide\, NRA Rifle Shooting Instructor Candidate Packet\, and NRA Basic Rifle Shooting course student packet. \nDetails on the classroom and range location will be sent directly to the registered students.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Equipment List” tab_id=”equipment”][vc_column_text]Instructor candidates will need: \n\na quality rifle/carbine\nat least one magazine (if yours is a magazine-fed rifle)\neye protection and ear protection (provided by CSA\, or you can use your own)\nsufficient ammunition in your rifle’s caliber\n\nat least 30 rounds for the pre-course qualification (x2 or x3 if you have to re-shoot the qual; you’re only allowed a total of three attempts)\nroughly 50 rounds to use during the practice teaching sessions when instructor candidates will role-play as rifle instructors guiding a class of basic rifle students\n\n\nanything you need to keep yourself comfortable in the elements (we’ll spend a few hours on an outdoor range)\n\nA rifle sling is not required for this class\, but if your rifle has one\, it could definitely come in handy. \nFeel free to contact us for questions about equipment requirements\, and please let us know in well advance if you will need to purchase ammo from us so we can make sure we’re sufficiently stocked.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Course Length” tab_id=”course-length”][vc_column_text]This course includes roughly ten hours of instruction (excluding BIT). Please note that we are NOT offering the six-hour Basic Instructor Training (BIT) with this course. Therefore\, we are stretching those ten hours over the course of two days – Saturday and Sunday. That way\, we have a bit of leeway to spend more time on the range if necessary. \nIf you need to renew your BIT credentials\, or if you’ve never had BIT\, please contact us immediately\, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Training Venue” tab_id=”training-venue”][vc_column_text]Both the classroom portion and the live fire training will take place at Mountain Top Gun and Archery\, 11564 Harrison Ferry Rd\, McMinnville\, TN 37110.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Prerequisites” tab_id=”prerequisites”][vc_column_text]Possession of basic firearm safety and shooting skills is a perquisite for certification as an NRA instructor. Every instructor candidate must completed the NRA Basic Rifle class before taking the instructor class. For those who have already taken Basic Rifle\, please email us your course completion certificate ASAP. If you still need to take Basic Rifle\, we are offering that course the same weekend. \nThe NRA Rifle Instructor Certification does require Basic Instructor Training (BIT). However\, in this case\, our ten-hour instructional time does NOT include BIT. This is a semi-closed class\, and most of the participants already have BIT\, so we’re not offering BIT with the instructor training. Instead\, we are only offering part 2: the Rifle Instructor lessons. If you do not have any other NRA instructor certifications (pistol\, shotgun\, etc.)\, or if you do have other certifications but your BIT is due to be renewed\, please contact us immediately so we can discuss options for satisfying your BIT requirement another way.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Register Now” tab_id=”section-register-now”][vc_column_text]We look forward to seeing you in class!

The course includes interactive classroom discussion\, dry-fire practice drills\, and live-fire exercises on the range. This is not a defensive course or a tactics course. Instead\, we’ll focus on familiarization\, basic operation\, marksmanship\, and most of all\, safety.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]This is an excellent course for anyone who is new to rifles and carbines.

Course topics will include: \n\nNRA’s rules for safe gun handling\nrifle parts and operation\nammunition\nshooting fundamentals\nrange rules\nshooting from the bench rest\, prone\, sitting\, standing and kneeling positions\nRifle cleaning\nContinued opportunities for skill development\nAnd more!\n\nDetails on the classroom and range location will be sent directly to the registered students.

This course is also a mandatory prerequisite for th NRA Rile Instructor Certification\, which we’ll be teaching the next day.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Equipment List” tab_id=”equipment”][vc_column_text]Students will need to bring: \n\na quality rifle/carbine\nat least one magazine (if yours is a magazine-fed rifle)\neye protection and ear protection (provided by CSA\, or you can use your own)\nat least 50 rounds of ammunition in your rifle’s caliber (please contact us if you’re not sure)\nanything you need to keep yourself comfortable in the elements (we’ll spend a few hours on an outdoor range)\n\nA rifle sling is not required for this class\, but if your rifle has one\, that’s fine (it could come in handy). \nIf you don’t yet have a rifle\, we might be able to lend you one of ours for this course\, depending on availability; but we can’t guarantee that. And if you plan to continue on to the Rifle Instructor course\, you should have your own gear). Students may also purchase ammunition from us if necessary. Feel free to contact us for questions about equipment requirements\, and please let us know in well advance (preferably at least a week before class) if you will need to borrow equipment or purchase ammo.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Course Length” tab_id=”course-length”][vc_column_text]The NRA Basic Rifle course lasts a full day (roughly eight hours)\, including the classroom lessons and the portion of class that we’ll spend on the range for live-fire drills.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Training Venue” tab_id=”training-venue”][vc_column_text]Both the classroom portion and the live fire training will take place at Mountain Top Gun and Archery\, 11564 Harrison Ferry Rd\, McMinnville\, TN 37110.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Who should take this class?” tab_id=”who-should-take-this-class”][vc_column_text]NRA Basic Rifle is great for new shooters (including those who have never fired a rifle). It’s also a good fit for folks who are used to a different platform (like pistol or shotgun) and even for more experienced rifle shooters who are self-taught or who would like a tune-up on the fundamentals. It’s also a mandatory prerequisite for anyone aspiring to one day be certified as an NRA Rifle Instructor.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Register Now” tab_id=”section-register-now”][vc_column_text]We look forward to seeing you in class!
