Hey, everyone! Citizens Safety Academy (CSA) is offering two back-to-back pistol courses at the end of this month at a nice, comfy range in Ripley, TN. For those who would like to teach Tennessee permit classes, Mississippi enhanced permit classes, or NRA pistol classes, we're offering the NRA's two-day pistol instructor certification course. And if you haven't already had NRA Basic Pistol (now a prerequisite for instructor certification), we have that class the day before, so you can cover everything in one weekend. Details are listed below, including links to register. NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting When & Where: Friday, June 29 (Ripley, TN) Name of Training Organization: Citizens Safety Academy Name of Instructors: Tiffany Johnson and Aqil Qadir Cost of Training: $85.00 Course Info: No prerequisites; No experience necessary. This course covers the universal safety rules, the fundamentals of marksmanship, and pistol operation, selection, storage, and maintenance. Great for brand new shooters, veteran shooters looking for a refresher or training documentation, and everyone in between. Participants will need a reliable handgun, eye and ear protection, approximately 100 rounds of ammunition, an open mind, and a positive attitude. Please let us know in advance if you think you'll need to borrow a handgun.

We are both certified instructors, NRA training counselors, and longtime members of the Rangemaster training community, with years of mentorship from Tom Givens and his contemporaries. We invite you to check out our bios and credentials on the CSA website, or you can reach either one of us right here on TGO. We know there are lots of NRA classes available, but we really have worked hard to refine this content and present it in the most effective way possible. We keep our classes small to ensure low student-teacher ratios and lots of one-on-one instruction. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to training with you. Aqil Qadir and Tiffany Johnson Info@CitizensSafety.com www.CitizensSafety.com
