I am looking for an instructors course for basic handgun. I want to be certified as an NRA instructor before too long.
Any one know of any classes in the DFW area, or someone who offers that class?
NRA instructors course in DFW?

Re: NRA instructors course in DFW?
Best TC I know of is Dan Graeber (http://www.trainersgroup.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) There are some others, and some I strongly discourage! I had a couple of bad TCs and was really upset when I finally had a class with Dan & discovered all the stuff that had been omitted from my previous training. He has worked with me to get up to speed & I have progressed further under his tuteledge. With him, you do not just "take a class"--he becomes a resorce for you in the future.

This very question is also being discussed here:

I think Dan would like to offer one before January, but isn't sure where he can fit it in. I got the impression he is trying, so I am still hoping for one before then.
I did not get a lot of positive feedback publicly or privately on anyone in the immediate DFW metro area other than Dan or Jan Heath. Mr. Heath has no current plans for a pistol instructor class. I am also looking and would consider travel to elsewhere if there were another TC that came highly recommended. I want a solid foundation class that helps me teach well.

Re: NRA instructors course in DFW?
That's great information to have, thanks! I'm looking to take a Basic Pistol Instructor Course as well - but I'm in Austin; I've no problem with traveling up to Dallas to get to Dan though.
Not to hi-jack the threat at all - but does anyone have any recommendations for an IC in Austin that is respectable as Dan?

Re: NRA instructors course in DFW?
Thanks, guys!
The course I was looking for is not on Dan"s schedule right now. The CSRO course is the next one that might apply to handguns. I don't know if that is what I want, but if he thinks it will be a good start, I will sign up for it.
I have gotten 9 or 10 new shooters started this year,and it is exciting to think of being able to help more folks, and to give them an "official" certificate when they finish.
