NRA BASIC PISTOL SHOOTING COURSE AUGUST 06-07, 2022

NRA Basic Pistol Course held on August 06-07, 2022 at the Slackwood Volunteer Fire Company in Lawrence Township, New Jersey.

Our second NRA Basic Pistol Course was held at the Slackwood Volunteer Fire Department in Lawrence Township, New Jersey on August 06, 2022. The class was very exciting and we know our students learned a great deal. We had a wonderful time and are happy to say that all students were able to pass the written test and qualifications. We did have to spend a little extra time with one of our first time shooters, but we are more than happy to do what is necessary to ensure that our students leave our training being able to handle firearms safely and correctly.

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 September 17-18, 2022, at the Slackwood Volunteer Fire Department.

OUR FIRST BUILT BLACKSMITHING FORGE

Our first custom built forge. The direction we received from members of the Bladesmithing Forum was so valuable to us in helping getting this built. We owe them great gratitude for their guidance and advice. Once we have the forge working the way we want, we will start working with actual metals. We hope to have some items for sale in the near future.
