CANCELED - NSCA Level 1 Instructor Certification Course
This event is canceled.
At the Level I program, our goal is to provide beginning instructors with the knowledge and ability to teach the fundamentals. They should be able to instruct a shooter on such basics as setting up foot and body position for proper balance; setting up hand and shotgun position to move with the target; how to use the eyes to acquire a target; understanding why a target was missed; and why all this is important.
The purpose of the Level I Instructor Course is to produce an instructor who can teach beginning, novice, and recreational shooters up to entry level competitors in sporting clays. While attending the course, the candidate will be instructed how to teach the fundamentals of shotgunning, assess eye dominance and basic gun fit, as well as call a miss. While the Level I Instructor is not expected to be a proficient diagnostician, the candidate is expected to show aptitude for diagnosing the causes of a miss on targets of basic to intermediate levels of difficulty. Not everyone passes the Level I course; please be sure to carefully weigh your experience and understanding of the fundamentals of shooting a shotgun before signing up for the course.
