Requirements

If you own a firearm that you plan to carry or use for home defense, please bring it with you (unloaded) along with 30 rounds of ammunition. Please remember there is an ammunition shortage right now. Some calibers are hard to get and you may not be able to buy them at our range. Make sure you plan in advance.
Dress comfortably in closed-toe, rubber-soled shoes. Low-cut necklines and hot brass don't mix...but you make the call, eye and ear protection if you have it (if not, it is available for a small fee on the range), pen and paper if you wish to take notes, extra cash if you need to purchase ammo or other accessories.
If you need to rent a gun, it will cost an additional $8. Eye and ear protection will be $1 each.
