We anticipate 4-5 hours of classroom material to cover the two main topics including Basic Pistol and Conceal Carry.
We will spend about 2 hours at the range shooting, which will depend on how many people are in the class and how much shooting everyone wants to do. We want you to be safe, capable and confident before you leave the range.
At the successful completion of this course you will receive individual certificates.
No firearms or live ammo is permitted in the classroom.
We will have extra ear protection and eye protection, but highly advise you bring your own. We will also provide targets for your use.
We have select handguns available for your use if you do not have one yet. We also have limited amounts of ammo if you don't already have your own.
We have a minimum of 5 people we require to conduct the class. If you register for the class and we don't have five total registered, we will contact you and let you know we will be rescheduling for the next available training date.
