This eight-hour course's goal is to teach a student the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary for owning and using a single-action and double-action revolver and semi-automatic pistol safely. Students will identify the parts of a pistol and type actions, and demonstrate how they function. Students will apply and adopt the NRA rules for safe gun handling and demonstrate how to handle a pistol in a safe manner, learn to explain the different components of a pistol cartridge and explain the firing sequence. They will learn the factors in determining how to purchase a handgun, how to properly identify and store ammunition and understand the major causes of cartridge malfunctions. Students will also learn gun range safety rules and commands and will know the five steps of the fundamentals of marksmanship. This course is conducted in the classroom, with time also spent on the range. Students will receive the Basics of Pistol Shooting handbook, course completion certificate, NRA Gun Safety Rules brochure, as well as the Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification booklet.
