​
NRA LE HANDGUN/SHOTGUN INSTRUCTOR
This school compresses the handgun instructor school to 3 days and adds 2 days of shotgun instructor training. Student classroom presentations, concealed-carry training, and unconventional shooting positions are replaced with shotgun marksmanship and handling classroom presentations and range work. Shotgun drills include firing from cover, use of kneeling and prone positions, moving targets, malfunction clearing, firing on the move, and transitioning to the handgun.
In addition to the above-mentioned required equipment, the following is ALSO necessary for this school:
​
-
Duty-type, law enforcement 12-gauge pump or semi-auto police shotgun equipped with a sling.
-
900 rounds of duty or training handgun ammunition.
-
50 rounds of duty or training 12 gauge slugs.
-
20 rounds of duty or training 12-gauge 00 buckshot.
-
100 rounds of birdshot (#6, #7½, #8 or #9).
A backup handgun is NOT required for this school. The shotgun and buckshot must be capable of shooting a group no larger than 18 inches at 15 yards to pass the course. Rifled shotgun barrels are inappropriate for this school and are not allowed.​​
NRA LE PATROL RIFLE INSTRUCTOR
​
This school centers on the patrol rifle for officers using iron sights or optics (which must be removed for zeroing exercises). The classroom portion informs students how to teach basic fundamentals of rifle marksmanship and handling, how to zero iron-sighted rifles, and discusses zeroing policy and liability concerns. Range work quickly moves from basic marksmanship to tactical movement, use of cover, various firing positions, pivots and turns, use of the safety circle concept, reloading under stress, firing on the move, multiple threats, decision-making, and reduced light threat identification and firing. Students design a tactical course of fire and are responsible for developing a lesson plan and running fellow students through their course at the end of the week. (Officers attending this class are expected to be capable of firing 6-inch groups with a rifle at 50 yards from the prone, sitting, kneeling and standing positions, and possess the ability to make accurate rifle sight adjustments, field strip, reassemble, load and unload their respective rifles, prior to arrival. THIS is not a basic operator school.) In addition to the equipment mentioned above, the following are ALSO necessary for this school:
​
-
Duty-type, law enforcement patrol rifle (rifle or pistol caliber is acceptable) equipped with a sling
-
At least three rifle magazines with a capacity of 20 rounds or more
-
1,200 rounds of duty or training rifle ammunition
-
100 rounds of duty or training handgun ammunition
-
Shooting mat or waterproof ground cover for prone zeroing exercises
