Same course, different room
This is the full NRA Basic Pistol course — classroom, mat time with rubber guns, then the range, with a certificate of completion on passing. The only difference is who teaches it and who is in the room.
Taught by a certified female instructor
Martha Galvan leads these classes. She is NRA Certified, a Texas DPS-certified License to Carry Instructor, and the only female NRA instructor in the Rio Grande Valley.
No experience needed
You do not need to have handled a firearm before, and you do not need to own one. We rent firearms for the range portion.
