Below is from the Introction for the Basic Instructor Training Course:
Since its incorporation in 1871, the National Rifle Association has
focused on firearm
training. Each year NRA trainers instruct several hundred thousand
people in the safe and
proper use of firearms. NRA training methods and policies are updated
regularly to ensure
that educationally sound firearm training is presented simply,
effectively, and enjoyably.
As an NRA trainer, you join a team of thousands of dedicated and highly
skilled
individuals across the country. This team forms the backbone ofthe
NRAFirearm Training
Program, a community service program of the NRA. Because of the efforts
of talented trainers
like yourself, this program continues to grow in quality and stature.
The goal of the NRA Firearm Training Program is to provide a
comprehensive package
of courses designed to help both beginning and advanced shooters
improve their skills in
the shooting sports, including safe gun handling; marksmanship for
hunting; earning a merit
badge; competitive shooting at the local, state, national, or
world-class level; and weekend
recreation. It's not just shooters who need to know and practice safe
gun handling-other potential
students are collectors, gunsmiths, retail sales associates, and anyone
interested in
running a safe range. As an NRA trainer, you can help them reach the
level to which they
aspue.
NRA trainers like you possess the knowledge, skills, and professional
attitude promoted
by such community organizations as the Boy Scouts of America, 4-H, The
American Legion,
Young Mens Christian Association, Jaycees, wildlife conservation
groups, and disabled
shooting groups. By using your expertise to help build a grassroots
shooting program, you
can take great pride in serving your community with a safe sport
suitable for all walks of
life. The NRA Firearm Training Program uses shooting to teach the life
skills of discipline,
honesty, self-worth, and belief in oneself.
This guide is designed to help you present the courses of the NRA
Firearm Training
Program. Much of this information was submitted by fellow trainers, and
then reviewed by
leaders in the shooting, teaching, and research fields. By carefully
following their
recommendations, you can ensure that your courses are well organized
while maintaining
consistent standards in the NRA's basic, intermediate, and advanced
courses and programs.
To ensure NRA trainers have the most up-to-date, accurate information
available, NRA
staff periodically reviews the training guides, student manuals,
supporting visual aids, and
other training materials. If you have suggestions for improving any of
these materials, contact
the NRA. Identify the document, copy the appropriate pages, mark your
recommendation
s in red ink, and mail your suggestions to the manager of the Training
Department at
the address provided below. All suggestions will be considered when
those publications are
revised.
