What the cost of studying

The exact cost of training and exams must be determined personally. Different centers provide different ranges of services. There are distance courses on theoretical foundations. In addition, the price may vary due to certain discounts.

The division of training and exam costs is dictated by the fact that many people turn to the center to renew their license. They will pay about 4,000 rubles for the exam. The full course for a beginner will cost 6,000 rubles. Despite the rather significant costs, courses on the basics of handling weapons are mandatory, since without them the issuance of a license is impossible.

Weapon permit price

The cost of obtaining a weapons license consists of several points: the state licensing fee, the cost of preparatory courses and the cost of issuing certificates if you went to a paid clinic.

The amount of the one-time government fee for obtaining a weapons permit varies depending on the type of weapon you need. Weapon license registration is paid for each unit purchased. When purchasing a weapon, you must also pay a fee. You can find out the current prices for your individual purposes by contacting the nearest licensing and permitting department (LRO).

Practical stage

Practical training is aimed at teaching shooting techniques from various types of weapons. Each student must fire at least 25 shots. The recommended number of shots to ensure effective training reaches one hundred, but this criterion is left to the discretion of the center itself.

The distance to the target can vary from 3 to 25 meters. It is supposed to teach shooting from two main positions: with a support and standing without a support. During practical classes, safe shooting skills are also developed, where students demonstrate successful mastery of theoretical material. The practical exam is carried out in the form of assembling/disassembling weapons, as well as in the form of shooting at a target.

Use of traumatic weapons

Weapons of limited destruction refer to civilian weapons of self-defense, that is, they are purchased by citizens to protect life, health and their property. These are the core values ​​that a citizen can defend with legally owned weapons. You can use traumatic weapons only in cases where there is a direct threat to life, health and property. The use of OOOP is determined by the weapons law. Article 24 states that a citizen has the right to use weapons to protect health, life and his property. That is, in the case of self-defense, roughly speaking. Determining where the line between self-defense and non-self-defense lies is quite difficult. A citizen must correlate the actions inflicted on him or their severity with the consequences that may occur after he uses the OOOP weapon. Having used OOOP, you must immediately report it to the police.

Stages of training in handling weapons

You can undergo such training in shooting training centers specially organized for this purpose. Here you will be offered a special training program, which includes the following stages:

• Theoretical training : mastering theoretical knowledge, which includes the study of legislative acts, rights and responsibilities, as well as the theory of wearing, storing and using weapons;
• Practical training : practical training in handling a gas pistol and revolver, hunting rifle, etc.;
• Certification to check the acquisition of all knowledge and practical skills.

Shooting club "Patriot"

Another club designed for education and training of professional shooters - security guards, bodyguards, private detectives, as well as those who are interested in developing shooting skills from civilian and hunting weapons for self-defense and participation in sports shooting competitions. Mandatory induction training for those who are not members of the IPSC/FPSR includes an hour-long theoretical lesson upon joining the club, and at least 50 practice shots.

Obtaining a hunting license

If hunting weapons are to be registered, we will begin the entire procedure by obtaining a hunting license. Moreover, this will practically not bring any financial costs. The government services portal will come to the rescue, which will work in all its glory upon receipt of a hunting ticket.

A photo will only have to be uploaded for the application form to be accepted, since the “Photo” column is mandatory. But the department does not have a printer to print a photo, so they will ask you for ready-made photos. In a week, you can receive the finished document completely free of charge, although your wallet will be empty by 200 rubles, which you will have to pay for the photographs. Due to such nuances, you should prepare photocopies of your passport just in case. Otherwise, the ticket issuance service is free.

Carrying a weapon of limited destruction

Naturally, you can carry a traumatic weapon with you if you have received permission to store and carry it. The rules for carrying OOOP provide for carrying a firearm of limited destruction without a cartridge in the chamber, with a loaded magazine or drum, with the safety on and in a sheathed state in a holster. You must have identification documents with you, as well as a license or permit to store and carry weapons issued by the internal affairs authorities.

In principle, carrying weapons is always carried out on the basis of licenses or permits issued by internal affairs bodies for storing and carrying specific types, types and models of weapons.

Training

“Vityaz” specializes in training bodyguards, security guards and cash collectors, and also conducts self-defense courses for owners of traumatic weapons. That is why the largest component of the course here is devoted to techniques of counteraction, rapid response and psychological dexterity. Training shooting can be organized at a shooting range, in open and closed areas, equipped with special simulators that simulate critical attack situations - in courtyards, in rooms, elevators, on stairwells, etc. All actions of students are recorded by video cameras, and at the end of training, the recordings are gradually disassembled and analyzed by instructors. The teachers here are mainly former special forces soldiers.

Shooting complex "Hunter"

Another complex created with the support of DOSAAF. Its main advantage is the presence of several equipped shooting areas and a large assortment of weapons, from sports to military. Both initial training with final certification and testing courses are conducted here to confirm the ability to wield a weapon. There are paid and free sections for children over 12 years old. Training is conducted by champions and masters of sports. In a special room, both children and adults can practice on shooting simulators.

Educational and sports DOSAAF of Russia

USC has existed since 1984. Today it is a modern center for family recreation and entertainment. The cost of training, as well as prices for shooting at the local shooting range, are quite reasonable compared to other large shooting grounds in sports and entertainment centers. Work with novice shooters is carried out by highly qualified trainers. In order to take the preparatory course, you must register for the class in advance.
