All Instructor Candidates need to be familiar with the NRA basic shooting materials for the
discipline they wish to instruct. For instance, Rifle Instructors should be familiar with terms like
“bone support.” All instructors should know what NPA is or how to determine eye dominance. If
you are unsure, you may want to participate in a basic course. At the minimum, all Instructor
Candidates need to obtain the basic student book for their discipline.
Make checks payable to LRN2shoot inc. and send to PO Box 87592 Carol Stream,
IL. 60188. Payments need to be in my PO box by the due date.

Counselor conducting the course. It is the primary intent of NRA Appointed Training Counselor
