You Will Need:

For this class, you should bring a quality semi-auto pistol, 3-5 magazines, and concealment holster with a belt (or Enigma). Serpa holsters or similar style that use the trigger finger to release retention are NOT ALLOWED. Hybrid holsters are not recommended. Revolvers are allowed if that is what you carry. We recommend cleaning and lubricating your firearm before class starts.

During the two days you will fire approximately 350 rounds over the course of the two days. You are welcome to bring more and could shoot up to 500 if you desire.

You should also bring high quality eye protection and hearing protection, as well as a brimmed hat. Closed toed shoes are required and a high neckline shirt is highly recommended for all participants. Bring water and snacks, and we strongly recommend packing lunch to have sufficient time to eat since nearby dining options are limited.

Range Fee:  You will be responsible for a $20 per day range fee payable in cash the first day of class.  This is in addition to your class fees.

Upon Arrival:

UPON ARRIVAL CHECK IN WITH STAFF.  While you are welcome to load mags to your heart’s content before class begins, DO NOT UNCASE OR UNHOLSTER GUNS PRIOR TO CLASS UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO DO SO BY STAFF. NO GUNS SHOULD BE TOUCHED EVER BEHIND THE FIRING LINE.  (There will be instruction and adequate time to deal with changing from self defense ammunition to target rounds.)
