NRA Muzzleloading Instructor Training
DR Security & Training is authorized to train NRA
instructors in all three Muzzleloading firearm disciplines (Pistol, Rifle &
Shotgun).
Since NRA Muzzleloading instructors generally want to cover all
of these courses. this school conducts the training for these three disciplines
concurrently, thereby saving 21 hours on the combined instructional time needed
for the three courses if done individually.
