OK here goes, I have only been an NRA BP instructor for 4 years, and have been shooting pistols for a little over 33 years , so this handgun thing is kind of new to me, compared to all the internet commando's. Lately I have been running into a lot of people who have taken the NRA Basic Pistol course, and did not even fire a gun, or some have said that after the lecture, they went down in the guys basement and fired a pellet pistol. I was told by one person he was charged $190.00 and went in the instructors basement and shot an air-soft gun, great way to show the student about recoil on that one. So what gives instructors? This just pisses me off, you are suppose to be promoting the shooting sports, and leaving the student with a positive and enjoyable experience. I try to keep my classes as interesting as possible, without boring them and shoot enough so they are comfortable with the firearms, and if their arms start to get tired from shooting, all the better. They all walk away with a smile and a positive experience, at least I have not had any complaints yet. (RANT OVER) Thanks for listening.
