August 17th we will be hosting a one day (one long 14 hour day) rifle instructor class in Gallatin TN at Asherbranner’s Pawnshop at 308 South Water Ave. This is not a BIT course, so you must already have taken the Basic Instructor Course.
We will be teaching this class indoors, and using .22 long rifle for logistical purposes. (if you absolutely must use a bigger rifle you may, but it is not necessary)
We will be shooting from prone, siting, kneeling, standing, and bench-rest positions, so you must be able to correctly assume and shoot from those positions.
Additionally, the NRA has recently upgraded their system, and anyone that is an NRA member prior to taking the course will automatically be activated as an instructor in the NRA database as soon as the Electronic course report is sent (that day) – which means you can immediately begin to schedule classes… You do not HAVE to be an NRA member to be an NRA Certified Instructor, but it is worth it.
You must contact the instructor prior to registering to discuss this course email dnash@tngun.com. Continue reading
