No rimfire guns will be used in this class. Read this link if you want to use your personal handgun: Personal Handguns Ammo is limited to standard velocity, commercially manufactured, ball type. No handloaded or reloaded ammo or magnum or +P ammo will be used in the class. A strong side hip holster is helpful but not required. Holsters are provided with range guns. Considering purchasing a handgun for concealed carry? Click Here Note: It is very easy for students to pick up the skills necessary to shoot a qualifying or better score. The problem comes from students who lack enough strength in the hands and forearms to be able to grip the handgun tightly and pull the trigger smoothly without disturbing the alignment with the target. This problem cannot be corrected during the class. It can only be corrected at home by doing some grip and forearm exercising before coming to the class. Defending your life requires strength and quick reflexes. Our CWP classes are conducted in an indoor, climate controlled classroom and on an outdoor range (See Photo page). Students should dress according to the weather and also plan for possible changes which might occur . Jeans with a stout belt to support a holster is always a good choice. Do not wear open toe shoes or low cut shirts which might leave exposed skin open to hot brass and sun. Hats with bills or brims are helpful in providing extra protection . Hearing and eye protection will be furnished or you may use your own . Safety is our main concern at the range . Do NOT bring any loaded firearms to the range. Do not remove any firearm from your vehicle until told to do so . All range rules will be followed by all students at all times . You are responsible for firearm safety !! Students are encouraged to bring soft drinks and snacks for the day . Domino's will deliver a one topping pizza for lunch or you may bring your own. Water and/or coffee will be provided . For common courtesy and health considerations, No Tobacco products will be permitted at the range . If you need an individual class, or a special class please call to make arrangements. The cost of a week day individual class is $120.00 per student, up to three students. More than three students the cost will be $80.00 per student.
