Probably been asked before, so I apologize in advance.

How does one become a firearms instructor?

Kind of an annoying, noob sounding question, I know. But any info would be appreciated.

Wait a second... You three just tag-teamed a Yeager post in a thread previously unrelated to Yeager all in under 20 minutes... You guys really have the spidey senses for this stuff... Or your cycles have all synced up.

Well played...

Nothing fancy like that on my part, I was just curious to see what it takes to become a Firearms Instructor...

I never said Yeager - did you guys mention Yeager?

 

[Rookie]

Not me.

It would depend on several things. To name a few: What KIND of firearms do you wish to teach in (rifle, shotgun, pistol, etc)? What types of students do intend on targeting/teaching (new shooters, experienced competition shooters, etc)? What context do you intend to teach (basic marksmanship, competition shooting/what type, defensive shooting, etc)?

Generally, NRA basic instructor certifications are widely considered an industry minimum standard. That however, will not serve a great deal of purpose if you intend on teaching students with a greater level of skill for example. Hence, your level of training and skill should be more than adequate (generally higher) than the level of training you wish to provide.

If making considerable sums of money is your goal, you're probably looking into the wrong industry. Also, I would highly recommend several business classes and real world experience to convey your teachings to your students is also a huge plus.

All of the above requirements and for extra awesomeness you need a youtube video.

Or fifty!

 

[printcraft]

Or fifty!

Oh, the other requirement is that someone post all of them to a website
that has guns as the main topic....... I know that is farfetched that
someone would do that but it's mathematically possible....

sorry, statistically possible.
