FIREARMS & AMMUNITION:
If you need to rent a firearm before the class, it is imperative you show up early to ensure:
- The firearm that best suits you is available
- You are not late for the class
- The front desk staff has enough time to supply you with the appropriate paperwork and enter you into the system before the class.
If you bring ammunition, it MUST be brass-cased ammunition. If you are unsure what ammunition you are bringing, let the front desk staff know that you are unsure, and they will check the ammunition to ensure you ONLY have brass-cased ammunition.
- NO STEEL-CASED AMMO ALLOWED
- NO ALUMINUM-CASED AMMO ALLOWED
Happy Training!
