All classes offered at the Carlisle Gun Club follow the prescribed NRA curriculum. All instructors are NRA Certified Instructors (CI) in the fields in which they instruct. In addition, all Range Safety Personnel are NRA certified as Range Safety Officers (RSO).
Because the nature of the Carlisle Gun Club’s physical facilities limits the kinds of live-fire instruction that can be conducted on the Club’s premises, the Club’s main focus is on handgun-related classes.
These include the following NRA areas:
- Basics of Pistol Shooting (BOPS);
- Personal Protection in the Home (PPIH);
- Personal Protection outside the Home (PPOH) (aka “concealed carry”)
The Club also has NRA instructors certified to provide instruction in:
- Basic Rifle Shooting
- Basic Shotgun Shooting
- Muzzle-Loading Rifle
- Metallic and Shotgun Shell Reloading
- “Refuse to Be A Victim” class
- Range Safety Officer instruction.
NRA classes at the Carlisle Gun Club are small, low-stress, and informal. They emphasize hands-on training with time devoted to range firing and practical application. Special emphasis is placed on safety, both on and off the range. Often, the student will have a Certified Instructor/Range Safety Officer working with them on a 1:1 ratio on each firing point, providing individualized assistance.
Not all of the above classes can be offered by the Club all of the time. In addition, some courses have instructional or training prerequisites that must be met before persons can be enrolled. Consult the individual course descriptions for more information.
When: Year round. See Events Calendar.
