Information Applicable to All NRA Certified Courses:

All courses make use of well developed and time proven NRA techniques and training materials. Part of the cost of each course covers the expense of booklets and other materials that you will use in class and that will be yours to keep for future reference. Please call for pricing information.

We encourage you to bring your own firearm(s) to class as it is best to learn with the firearm(s) you will actually be using. If you do not have your own firearm for a class, please advise our staff when you call to sign up for a class. If you bring your own ammunition for class purposes, please note that for safety reasons, only FACTORY LOADED ammunition is allowed. If you need to buy ammunition from us, please advise our staff when you call to sign up for a class. This will help us assure that we have the proper caliber ammunition available. Also note that DURING THE CLASSROOM PORTION OF TRAINING NO LIVE AMMUNITION IS ALLOWED. To insure everyones' safety, we use 'dummy' ammo for classroom purposes.

The length of time for each course is an approximation. The goal of each course is for the student to thoroughly understand the material and concepts; as individuals learn at different rates, this can influence the actual amount of time spent. Class size and number of instructors present may also affect the length of time it takes to proceed through the lessons. Remember, that in addition to our regularly scheduled classes, we can arrange for individual instruction on a convenient time basis.
