Our first NRA Basic Pistol Course was held at the Slackwood Volunteer Fire Department in Lawrence Township, New Jersey on April 23, 2022. The class went very well, and all students were very engaged in the classroom portion of the course. We were very impressed with the students that attended the course and are hopeful that we were able to provide all of the information that the students were looking for. All students passed the written test with no problems.
The firing portion of the course was held at the Fort Dix Range 14 on the Joint Base McGuire, Dix and Lakehurst. Our students started out very nervous about actually firing a firearm, but by the end of the range portion of the course, all students learned the proper techniques for firing a firearm safely and accurately. Our next course will be held on May 21, 2022, at the Phillipsburg Pistol Club in Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
