Gear & Equipment

  • Firearm: For the shooting portion, handguns are available for rent at the range. You may also bring your own or use the one that the instructor provides. If bringing your own, it must be unloaded and in a case.
    • Per the Range's policy, no firearms will be allowed in the classroom; there will be a place to store your firearm and ammunition if you choose to bring your own.
  • Ammunition: Students must bring at least 50 rounds of ammunition.  
  • Protection: Eye and ear protection will be provided at the range, but feel free to bring your own if preferred.
What to Wear (Range Safety)
For your comfort and safety, please follow these clothing guidelines:
  • Closed-toe shoes (no sandals or flip-flops)
  • High-neck shirts (to prevent hot brass from falling inside clothing)
  • A hat with a brim (like a baseball cap) is highly recommended
Water and light refreshments will be provided. There will also be a 45-minute lunch break. Feel free to bring your own lunch or visit one of the eateries in the area. 

We reserve the right to remove any individual from the range or classroom for safety violations, without a refund.
