NRA Muzzleloading Instructor Training

Dynamic Firearms Training has authorized training counselors to train NRA instructors in all three Muzzleloading firearm disciplines (Pistol, Rifle & Shotgun).  The Training Counselors teaching these courses specialize in the Unique attributes of Muzzleloading Firearms

Since the majority of NRA Muzzleloading instructors generally want to cover all of these courses, we conduct the training for these three disciplines concurrently, saving over 21 hours of instructional time needed if the courses were conducted separately
