This course is usually taken after receiving your certificate from the NRA Basic Pistol Safety Course or the person who has been shooting for a while and would like to improve their shooting. In this course you will learn more about the fundamentals of shooting. You will learn how to stop anticipation of the recoil, how to stop squeezing the entire firearm when doing trigger control. This course will make you a better marksman through learning that the firearm is just a tool, like a hammer is to a carpenter.
