Training course question(s)

Does anyone have any opinions on NRA training courses? I'm curious about taking training courses and I've never had a 'formal' training class. I suppose I'd have to start with the basics as a 'qualifier' course since most courses show a pre-requisite course. I'd be focusing on handgun use.

I've also looked at training courses at this place:

HarborSite USANA

224 Sand Bridge Road

Elmer, NJ 08318

Anyone know anything about the place?

    i've taken the basic safety course, before going for my permits and FPID card. I would highly recommend it, not only are you taught all the proper safety procedures, but you also get hands on with semi auto's, and revolvers from the guy I went to in Spotswood. They teach you how to aim properly through the sights, and just the basics really. Then you get a certificate after course completion.

    The NRA has always provided solid training at reasonable prices. They have a strong cadre of instructors and you won't regret starting there.

    I've been to Harborsite USANA for the range and for airsoft - it's a decent place. Dunno how good their classes are but I know a lot of LEO go there.

    There is a ton of them.

    I took NRA basic pistol and basic rifle, after I had been shooting on my own for eight years. I can honestly say that I did learn a lot, and I should have taken them sooner. I learned a lot in both courses, especially correcting mistakes I had been making which affected my accuracy.

     

    You do not need to be a member of NRA to take these courses. So, you can take their courses regardless of how you may feel about the NRA.

     

    If the courses you take interest you, you might want to get certified as an instructor. You do not need to be a member to become an instructor.
