  • Candidates will be required to demonstrate solid and safe firearms handling skills required to be successful during an instructor training course by completing pre-course questionnaires and qualification exercises administered by the NRA Appointed Training Counselor.

                          We would like to thank Johnson Creek Gun Club and their staff for their assistance in our endeavor to bring gun safety to as many people as possible. Their continuing support in 2011 will enable us to raise the level of firearm training to an even higher level.

                          Thank you to our training team and staff for all of their hard work. In 2010 our team has grown in both size and knowledge.  We are appreciative all of your efforts.

                          As 2010 comes to a close and we look ahead to 2011, we are committed to bringing the general public more firearm training and safety courses and maintaining their high level.  Please keep a look out for our 2011 schedule to be posted soon.
