RSU 24 Adult Education

Please note that this training consists of 2 days in the classroom  on a weekend with a 2 hour range session on either a Monday or Tuesday. Call the Adult Education office to register for this class. 422-4794

In a non-threatening safe environment with no live ammunition present, learn the basics of: handgun safety at home; how to handle a pistol safely; parts of a pistol and ammunition; fundamentals of pistol shooting including holding, stance and aiming; common malfunctions; cleaning; and selecting a pistol just right for you. No firearms are to be brought to class. You will be shooting in class using a SIRT Laser Pistol.

A two-hour semi-private range time is separately scheduled (at the Blue Hill Rifle and Pistol Club either 9/15 or 9/16) and has a separate fee of $65 payable to the instructor. At the range, you’ll fire either your own pistol or one from the instructor and try to put five rounds of ammunition through 4 separate target circles at ten feet using only 20 rounds. You will need 50 rounds of ammunition for your personal handgun. If “renting” a pistol from the instructor, she will have 50 rounds of ammunition for you for an additional cost of $25.

To pass this nationally rated course and get certified you must: attend all sessions and actively participate, pass a written examination, and pass the ten-foot shooting qualification, all within two weeks of the last class session.

A $30 textbook is included.

Certification can be used to apply for a Concealed Carry Permit.
