About Us Accurate Handloading School (AHS) was formed in 2004 to conduct the National Rifle Association (NRA) course in Basic Metallic Cartridge Reloading, the NRA course in Basic Shotgun Shell Reloading, and a non-NRA course in Precision Handloading for competition. The principal instructor is NRA certified reloading instructor Douglas Fitts.  Doug is also an NRA certified pistol instructor and a former California Departmment of Justice certified instructor.  AHS is currently located in Prescott, Arizona. The two basic reloading courses (Basic Metallic and Basic Shotgun) were developed by the NRA and are the result of a joint effort involving the NRA Education & Training Division, the members of the National Reloading Manufacturers Association (NRMA), prominent manufacturers of ammunition, firearms and reloading equipment, and other organizations and individuals having specialized skills and expertise in reloading, ballistics and relat­ed topics. Every effort was made to provide the necessary basic information to reload ammunition safely and effectively, and to present the techniques of reloading in a logical, easy-to-understand, sequence of steps. In 2005, the Precision Handloading Course was developed by AHS. The class uses the Precision Shooting Reloading Guide, published by Precision Shooting, Inc., as the basic text. The content of the class is generally accepted as fundamental to the assembly of  rifle ammunition for competition. This is a course for those with an understanding of basic rifle reloading procedures and who want to expand their knowledge to include handloading of precision rifle ammunition suitable for F-Class and benchrest type competition. This is not an NRA course.
