Ways to Improve Your Skills
There are several ways to build on the information
you learn through PerSec USA classes:
NRA Marksmanship Qualification
Program
In
this program you can earn certificates, patches, rockers, and even
a medal for achieving the top performance in each of the three categories:
Handgun, Shotgun, and Rifle. By completing a series of progressively
more difficult courses of fire, you will find that your marksmanship
skills quickly improve.
Handgun Qualification
For
new handgun enthusiasts, one of the more popular qualification programs
is the "Handgun
Qualification". This qualification helps develop the basic skills
necessary for personal protection and is a great follow-on to the NRA
Basic Pistol course. A complete .pdf-format guide to the program is
available by clicking

Handgun Qualification Hints:
-
Use the D-1 or D-2 target center instead
of the full target to save money and paper.
-
For the timed courses of fire, get a
helper to stand behind you and tap on your shoulder when time's
up. Alternatively, try the free
Bullet Tones product
on your MP3 player.
Light
Rifle Qualification
This qualification uses a smallbore rifle
(.22 or .17 HMR rimfire) to build long gun skills applicable to all
calibers of rifles. Achieving the Distinguished Expert rating in the
Light Rifle Qualification is very challenging.
A-23/5 targets used in this qualification
are available from these vendors:
