Great news…
If you are considering getting some seriously professional firearms training, the NHFC Academy is ready to roll!
Whether you are experienced or brand new to firearms, the Academy has what you need to be both confident and competent with your gun.
As you know, the beta test of the New Hampshire Firearms Coalition Academy filled very, very quickly, and the response was overwhelming! Those that participated in the class stated that it was the best training they ever received! Many thanks to all the NHFC members who signed up for training and shared their thoughts.
NHFC specifically built this first course of the Academy so that EVERYONE can benefit. As President of NHFC I have personally trained with this curriculum, and believe that from the novice to the veteran, every single student will leave with enhanced skills and understanding of their firearm.
You just have to be a member of New Hampshire Firearms Coalition to attend!
Here are some testimonials from those that participated in the beta test:
“I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their skills.”
“For a new gun owner, both the classroom and the range training were very relevant and invaluable to me. My shooting accuracy and my confidence greatly increased over the two-day course as I learned more and more of their safe techniques for increasing shooting accuracy.”
“The training was most helpful to me by correcting my technical faults.”
“It also gave me a good understanding of NH laws and when I can use deadly force to defend myself.”
“Enjoyed very much and learned new things. Think all cop trainers of the many pd’s in carroll Co. would benefit.”
