Participants in our NRA courses will receive a student packet that includes an NRA guide covering the material to be taught, a certificate of completion and other material related to the classes.  SMFTS courses will receive a printed outline of the course content.

Students may bring their own handgun to class may do so (please bring user manual as well) but they must provide their own professionally manufactured ammunition for the live fire portion of the class.  Gun and ammunition will be under the instructor's control until the course is completed.

* To compare the objectives in the First Steps Pistol Orientation and NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course go to the This and That page.

Options are as follows:

In Home Instruction - First Steps and Basic Pistol Shooting courses can be presented in a student's home or other facility provided by the student(s).  This service is offered for a minimum of two students. 

For groups smaller than four students there will be a premium charge of $25 per student which is added to the cost of the class plus fifty cents per mile round trip from my home to the training site. 

Coordination between the student and SMFTS is required in order to arrange for a class to be presented at a site selected by the student.  Please use the Contact Form to initiate a request for In Home Instruction.  Once the coordination has been done if you use PayPal remember to include the In Home Instruction option in the PayPal checkout.

Individual Coaching (Not an NRA sanctioned class) - Individual coaching sessions can be arranged at a range in Stone Mountain for $30 per hour per student (limit of 2 students per session) for those who have completed NRA First Steps Orientation, Basic Pistol Shooting Course, SMFTS Basic Pistol Course, SMFTS Intermediate Pistol Course or either of the Personal Protection courses. 

Coaching is also available at other ranges in the Atlanta area for $30 per hour plus mileage.  Coordination for this option can be done by phone or via the Contact Form.
