- Shooting targets is the closest most of us will ever get to being Jack Bauer.
- Shooting zombie posters is as close to Walking Dead as we should ever want to be.
- If you’re going to have a handgun, it’s EXTREMELY important to know how to use it safely.
- If you’re going to concealed carry, there is much to learn about OR and WA and Federal laws and much to learn about hoster options.
- In this course, you’ll get to shoot at least seven guns–from a pocket pistol to a revolver to a full-size semi-automatic handgun.
- You will learn how to continue your education.
That’s perfect. Many students taking this course have never even touched a gun. We start with yellow plastic training guns to develop good habits before even touching a real gun. Most students are intimidated by recoil and the sound of a gun shooting. That’s why we spend quite a bit of time shooting. The intimidation fades quicker than you would think. You can start off with a pellet gun, with no recoil and hardly any noise at all and work your way up from there. There’s no need to shoot the 357 Magnum revolver unless you want to. Though after shooting that, everything else seems tame. There’s no pressure at all. Without exception, all students end up having lots of fun. Shooting is a fun sport and it can really grow on you.

Here’s what to expect:
- NRA Basic Pistol Course, and upon passing the classroom and practical (shooting) test, you’ll receive a certificate which qualifies for Oregon’s CHL (Concealed Handgun License) requirements.
- At the same time, students will develop good handgun handling habits with a yellow, plastic training gun. You will develop good habits before even entering the indoor shooting range.
- Then there’s a segment on concealed carry–holsters, do’s and don’ts, legal considerations, and so on. (Why concealed carry?)
- We move into the next room where the indoor shooting range is located. That’s when the real fun begins.
- Issue certificates.
It’s a full day, but by the end, you will be a safe shooter.
Yes, you can take the certificate you get from this course and take it to the Wasco County Sheriff’s Office and get your CHL (Concealed Handgun License) there.
