OlyPen Firearms offers the NRA's First Steps Pistol Orientation by request; typically from a group or organization, but the request could come from any group.  It is designed to be a basic orientation into safe gun handling and shooting fundamentals.  The First Steps Pistol Orientation includes an opportunity for each student to shoot a pistol under the close one-in-one supervision of an experienced NRA Instructor/Range Safety Officer.  Students may use their personal firearm, or one of ours that we will have available. 

The FIRST Steps Orientation consists of approximately 2 hours of classroom instruction, followed by approximately 1-2 hours of time dedicated to live fire.  Class size is normally limited to 4 students to ensure the best possible live fire experience under the direct one-on-one guidance of Steve, OlyPen Firearms owner and lead instructor. Larger classes may be arranged for groups which can provide a classroom and live fire venue, and may require additional instructors, depending on class size.
