TRRC Pistol Qualification Program

• In order for any member to shoot a pistol anywhere at the Club (Main or Pistol Ranges), a member must complete the Pistol Qualification Program.
  
  
• Pistol Qualification training is held on the Saturday following new member training at 9:00am sharp, in the classroom.
  
  

• The program involves a one hour classroom training session, held in the Club's classroom, followed by a shooting and gun handling test done at the Pistol Range. The shooting test is performed using your own pistol and ammunition. It involves loading and shooting a total of 10 rounds, in three separate stages. The member is evaluated on safe handling skills and the ability to hit a 2' by 2' target, placed at 15 yards, with all 10 rounds. The member must also demonstrate the ability to properly clear a jam or malfunction.
  
  
• The shooting and gun handling test will be performed at the Pistol Range immediately after the classroom training.  NRA certified firearms instructors will be available at the Pistol Range during this time to provide assistance and training to members. This instruction is available to members before they attempt qualification, if they desire, or if questions arise during their shooting test.
