Firearm Training Opportunities
Maxon's 5 hour NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting course does not quailfy for the Chicago Firearm Permit.
If you are not a Chicago resident looking to get a CFP, this is a fantastic course to teach you the basics of pistol shooting. We run this class a couple of Saturday evenings a month.
The class is from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Maxons. It is best to arrive 15 minutes before the class starts to fill out your paperwork. This course is in high demand, so plan ahead. The price of the class is $125 all-inclusive, and you must call the store in advance to schedule a time and to pay for the class. Our phone number is (847)298-4867.
In the 5 hour class, we cover:
- safety fundamentals
- revolver and semi-automatic parts and operation
- ammunition
- transporting your firearm legally
- shooting safely and accurately
We spend about an hour on the range, and we shoot many different handguns in several calibers. This class is a good opportunity to try out many different firearms so that you can make a more educated purchase decision.
Please check the calendar on this site for the dates of upcoming classes. There are 6 spaces available on each date.
