NRA FIRST Steps Orientation
Course Description:
FIRST Steps - Firearm Instruction, Responsibility, and Safety Training - is the National Rifle Association's response to the American public's need for a firearm orientation program for new gun owners. New firearm owners are encouraged to take the "first step" of obtaining training. This course is designed to provide a hands-on introduction to the safe handling and proper orientation of one specific firearm model: rifle, pistol or shotgun. Since this course is model specific, and teaches only the most basic shooting skills, they are not complete "courses" in the traditional sense. This course will provide a thorough introduction to firearm safety, handling and shooting skills and will encourage you to obtain additional training, such as the NRA Basic Pistol Course, to maintain this perishable skill. 50 rounds of ammunition is necessary. Minimum age for this class is 16 years of age with parent/guardian present.
