Got Questions?

We've got answers. Here's what first-timers usually ask.

I've never touched a gun before. Is this class really for me?

Absolutely! This class is specifically designed for people with ZERO experience. We start with the very basics - how to hold a firearm, safety rules, and fundamental techniques. You'll be surprised how comfortable you feel by the end.

What should I wear?

Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required. We recommend wearing a high-necked shirt (hot brass can bounce around) and bringing a light jacket. Avoid low-cut tops and sandals.

How many people are in each class?

We limit each class to a maximum of eight students so everyone receives personalized instruction, hands-on practice, and sufficient time using the training simulator.

Can I bring someone under 21?

Students under 18 require advance approval and must attend with a parent or legal guardian. Please contact us before registering a minor so we can discuss the student’s age, maturity, experience, and whether this course is appropriate.

What if I need to reschedule?

You can reschedule your class up to 48 hours before the scheduled time at no extra charge. Just contact us and we'll find a new date that works.
