NRA Certified Pistol Instructor

The NRA Basic Pistol course is an instructor led course where you will learn the basic knowledge, skills and attitude necessary for safe pistol handling. The following are the lesson plans we cover in our course:

• Pistol Knowledge and Safe Gun Handling
• Ammunition Knowledge and the Fundamentals of Pistol Shooting
• Shooting Positions and Shooting Qualifications
• Scoring Targets, and Selecting and Maintaining Your Pistol
• Continued Opportunities for Skill Development

The course is typically held the third Saturday of each month.  It is scheduled for an 8 hour class starting at 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.  The actual course length may vary, as the time required for each lesson will vary due to class size,  facility availability, student experience and comprehension level, not to mention weather, and unforeseen circumstances.

This course is an objective based course, which means you must pass the test and meet shooting requirements in order to receive your course completion certificate. You must receive at least 80% or greater on the written test and the qualification course of fire is as follows:

Students must qualify shooting a course of fire consisting of four five shot groups within a 4 inch circle. Groups do not have to be consecutive. Students must qualify at the Level 1: Red level to earn a Basic Pistol Course Completion certificate. Once the student accomplishes the Level 1: Red level, instructors are encouraged to offer them the opportunity to qualify for the Level 2: White, Level 3: Blue, and Instructor level endorsements on their certificates.

 Qualification for Level 1: Red is four five shot groups within the four‐inch circle at 10 feet.

 Qualification for Level 2: White is four five shot groups within the four‐inch circle at 15 feet.

 Qualification for Level 3: Blue is four five shot groups within the four‐inch circle at 20 feet.

Note‐ Groups can be cumulative and do not need to be shot consecutively

This course has been designed to allow for maximum flexibility in scheduling. It may be conducted in a few hours or may be broken up between classroom time and range time. Shooting qualifications can be conducted on another day, by appoinment. Check out our calendar for our next course or go to nrainstructors.org to sign up.

Situational Awareness for Realtors and Real Estate Agents

“Situational awareness,” a term often used by military and law enforcement personnel, is a frame of mind in which a person is relaxed but still aware of their surroundings. This is especially important for people in occupations such as real estate, where they are entering unknown situations with strangers on a regular basis. While real estate agents or Realtors don’t need to be paranoid, they need to be on-guard for possible dangers, and they need to be prepared to deal with threats that may arise.

 

Cogburn Enterprises’ Situational Awareness for Realtors and Real Estate Agents classes help agents keep themselves safe in unknown scenarios. This course is approved by NMAR.  It is a four-hour class that includes case studies, review of Montana and national laws, tips and hands-on practical application for anyone who may be in unknown scenarios. This class is geared toward Realtors and Real Estate Agents, and does count toward the annual continuing education credits needed to maintain a real estate license.

Don’t let convenience or complacency get you into trouble. Contact Cogburn Enterprises today to learn more about upcoming classes.
