Phase II of the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course reinforces and applies the skills that you have already learned in the NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting e-learning.

A part of Phase II is to help you become more comfortable and familiar with pistols to enable you to achieve certification.

In order to uphold the NRA’s adherence to safety, and to maintain standardization among all NRA courses, we adhere to all NRA Safety Guidelines at all times.

A key to conducting a successful Basic Pistol Shooting Course is to be well organized and know the subject. To maintain national standards for this program, the NRA has developed lesson plans for this program.

Phase II OBJECTIVES
In Phase II, we instructors are responsible for determining whether students have successfully completed each exercise. In this course, students must complete the exercises provided and meet the shooting qualification in order to achieve certification. We use the Performance Requirements Checklist provided by the NRA to sign off on each exercise as the student demonstrates proficiency.
Explanations and demonstrations provided by the instructors are not to be confused with meeting a learning objective. (You) the student must be able to perform each objective. It is up to the instructor’s discretion whether the student has passed. There is no minimum score to pass. Cause for failing a student would be the (continued) unsafe handling of a firearm, inability to meet learning objectives, or a poor attitude.

QUALIFICATION/COURSE COMPLETION CERTIFICATE
Basic Pistol Phase II students must demonstrate the Knowledge, Skills, and Attitude necessary for the safe and proficient use of a pistol, and pass the qualification shooting standard at a Level 1 Red minimum to earn a completion certificate.
