Before coming to class, ensure you: possess and demonstrate a solid background in firearm safety and shooting skills, are intimately familiar with each pistol action type, and demonstrate solid and safe firearms handling skills.  Attendance in this course is not a guarantee of certification; you must successfully pass all coursework, pass a shooting qualification, and pass a written exam to become a certified instructor. Please practice the shooting qualification BEFORE you come to class!
