NRA Certified Instructors provide an invaluable service in their communities and as more Americans choose to exercise their right to own a firearm the demand for training courses and certified instructors increases.

We're always on the lookout for more instructors. Teaching others to shoot is not just about the personal satisfaction of helping someone exercise the Second Amendment right, but instructing others in a a skill is a great way to assess and improve your own abilities.
