  1. Yes... It's also very difficult to schedule when one doesn't know who, or how many (any) will appear.
  2. Not quite sure what is really being asked, however: NRA Basic Pistol - as stated it is now two-part. The first is on-line (and paid directly to NRA). Once this is completed (6-8 hrs, likely several sessions), one can schedule part two with an NRA Certified Pistol Instructor. Part Two is a confirmation that it was indeed you who did the online portion, check dominant eye, teaching the NRA method of safe gun handling, loading and unloading of single-action, double action revolvers and semi-automatic handguns (nb the Instructor must teach all three actions - BP cannot be done simply with one's own pistol), and finally bring this to the firing range for live fire. To complete the course the student must shoot a standard target succesfully, at a minimum of five rounds in each of four four-inch targets at 10 feet, with the option to shoot it at two distances further out. If successful, the student can opt to shoot the "Instructor Certification" target (score 16/20 in a 6 inch target at 15 yards - this does *not* certify the student as an instructor, it's for interest only). You can use any pistol for this, but must shoot all three actions on the range. There is a minimum recommended round count - contact me for confirmation, if of interest. It should be noted that the Lesson Plan calls for the Instructor to have students work together, so it isn't really amenable to having one student being "run through" the curriculum, and it also isn't sufficient to have them merely shoot the qualification targets. Expect Phase two to last ~5 hours. As an aside it's disturbing to think that people are already looking for ways to short circuit this, and if I discovered that an Instructor I'd recommended for certification was doing htis, I'd be really dissppointed. UTAH CCW TO satisfy the requirements for this class, one must take the class specified by the State of Utah, and it must be given in its entirety by an Instructor who goes to UT to obtain certification, and returns every two years to re-certify. The class must discuss the law relating to firearms in UT and does not have a requirement for live fore or evidence of safe gun handling, or any prior experience handling a firearm, or indeed owning a firearm. It should be noted that the AZ permit, when combined with FL, has almost identical coverage as UT+FL, and is obtainable ny NJ residents. FLORIDA CCW As stated, the core element of the FL requirement is that the applicant has taken a "recognized" gun safety course. NRA Basic Pistol does indeed satisfy this, as did the old FIRST Steps Pistol (now withdrawn by NRA), NRA PPIH or PPOH. As also stated, the NJ Hunters' Ed course also satisfies the FL requirement, as will any certificate signed by an NRA nstructor, where their Instructor Number is shown. Neither FL nor UT (or AZ) require competence in drawing or reholstering. I hope that helps - there's a lot of good advice in the thread above. There are also a lot of good (and bad) instructors offering these classes. I'm curious to know how people are viewing the New NRA Basic Pistol class relative to the old one, and why they are getting the certification, so if people have a moment to tell me I'd be grateful. Good luck to all G. Gallagher - www.scotshot.com
  3. ... Just remember that no matter how hard you try you'll never be able to train your cat to retrieve the cotter pin that fell through these tiny gaps between the decking....
  4. I hear you. I had the extractor claw break clean in two after 7 rounds on my brand new 226. Sig repaired it and almost 20,000 later, including holsters, mud, sand, it still shoots perfectly. Don't fret, it will be just fine. G

  6. So I have taken a three day (24 hr) class from Rob Pincus and I enjoyed it, and I learned a lot. The concepts in CFS were not new to me mostly, but th opportinity to move through them under increasing pressure was. I found Rob to be a relaxed and expert instructor who had a very clear focus on what he wanted to convey in that (handgun) class. I would probably take training from him again, including rerunning that same course. I took away exercises that I use in my own range work and I also insert into the work I do with my own students, and that is important I think. I don't recognise the Rob Pincus described above Shoot safe(ly!!, everyone Grant
  7. Hi My thoughts are a little different. What gun do you own that you shoot most with, or do most of your holster work with. Let's say it's a glock. Now go buy the small gun from glock. Let's say it's a sig 226, now go buy a 239 (not tiny I know). And so on My personal philosophy is that my carry gun has to work the same as my favorite gun, have the same controls in the same place and so on, or at least be very similar. I believe that when things get stressful one's brain will first suggest that with which it is most familiar. Just my 0.02 etc. enjoy your new gun! G
  8. I have all 9mm sig 226/229/239 and what I have to say applies to all three. Defense ammo. I use 135gr +P Critical Duty. Training/fun ammo. I don't like Remington/UMC, Herter, Magtech. I haven't tried S&B or Fiocci. I prefer WWB (115), Federal Champion (115) or Geco (124). I prefer these rounds because they consistently give smaller group sizes and let me get sights back on target faster. American Eagle is ok but often pricey I've found. I like Freedom 115 but have had light strikes with them so have stopped using it (they have a new "super match" round that I tried 100 of - very good but ~ 28c per). I also use SG and they are excellent. For what it's worth, in my hands the ammo does make a difference to accuracy and ease of the "one hole drill". Enjoy! G
  9. BIT has to be taken separately, and it has its own exam. It's a one time only thing, good for all firearm disciplines. Instructor candidates need to pass this. For each discipline (eg pistol, rifle or shotgun), there is a separate competency (gun handling safety and shooting) prerequisite. Passing this is the gateway to being able to take the discipline part, each of which had its own exam. No Shortcuts, being an NRA Certified Instructor is a Serious Deal. You are being certified as able to verify that every one of your clients meets the standard. For Chief RSO, one must have taken and passed RSO and BIT Good luck! G www.scotshot.com
  10. While I can shoot under 1MOA at 200, I don't consider myself qualified to teach that skill. PM me for details. For those who want NRA Basic Rifle before November, I can run a dedicated class for four or more; again, PM me. Thanks everyone and happy shooting!! G
  11. "Cool your jets" The current law in NJ is about magazine capacity, not length (coughs ironically). Magazines are legal if they hold 15 rounds or fewer. There may be some oddball exception for .22 tube mags to accommodate .22 short. If you hear some bs, say "thanks" and change the subject. Sometimes it's better to move on. G PS. When in doubt, ask Rosie or Pizza Bob
  12. The right to defend ones life is a "natural right". All animals will defend themselves to the end. There is no reason why humans should accept laws that diminish that natural right.
  13. Hi again "We" is ScotShot LLC. You can read about doing NRA Basic Rifle with us, here: http://www.scotshot.com/basicrifle.html If you'd like a referral specifically for long range rifle (200+ yards) then let me know Very best G
  14. Hi. I can't speak for any of the suggestions other than NRA Basic Rifle. First thing to know is that one can't really take this course in a single day. The class and range focus on learning and shooting the five core rifle positions: prone, sitting, kneeling, standing and bench. These are all used in hunting or competition. The class also works through the parts of a rifle, different rifle actions (bolt, lever, pump, semi-auto etc), how to load and unload safely, how to use a sling, the five shooting fundamentals, how to use and adjust sights, how ammunition is constructed and functions, and all on a background of safety safety safety. It is a great course and everyone learns something, even experienced shooters. However, what this course is *not* about is marksmanship; it is about fundamentals, grounding and safety - we are offering that course soon as an all day Saturday half day Sunday class. I am sure you will like it and that it will prepare you for longer range work (I can recommend an instructor for that, not myself). Either way, have a great time on your elk hunt!! G
