Please make sure you bring your gun unloaded and in your holster, your holster must cover the trigger and trigger guard.

Shoulder holsters, ankle holsters or cross draw holsters will NOT be allowed.  A brimmed hat must be worn at the range.

Do not remove your gun from the holster until you are on the firing line and instructed to do so.

If you are shooting a new gun, please go to YouTube and see how to clean it before the class.  Most of the problems we have at the range are new guns that have not been cleaned.

If you load your magazines the night before the class, it will save time on the range.

Please bring your government issued photo ID (IE: driver’s license).  Bring a lunch and water, you may eat lunch while the class is going. There is no designated lunch break.

FYI, foul language will not be tolerated at my house or at the range.

Don’t forget to bring water, we live in the desert.

All students must bring government issued photo ID, IE: Driver’s License.

Upon completion of this course, you will have a fundamental understanding of the use of your handgun. You should have the ability to safely and easily present your weapon from the holster and fire the necessary number of shots to the center of a target 5 yards away in under 3 seconds! Most gun fights are at 9 feet and everybody misses. That is sad and we want you to learn to not miss.

Firearm, Equipment and Ammo Requirements:

Holsters must be on the belt, OWB, correctly fitted to the weapon, completely covering the trigger guard and remain open when the weapon is removed, not allowing the weapon to cover the shooter’s body. You must be able to draw your gun from your holster with one hand, if you can’t, you have the wrong holster and it’s not acceptable. Cross-draw, shoulder holsters or ankle holsters are not allowed. It would be a good idea to bring a backup gun and a holster, in case yours fails.

A minimum of three magazines (recommend 4-6) and two single or one double magazine pouch worn on the belt on the side opposite the handgun are required. Use the magazines you will be carrying every day, not the 30-50 round ghetto mags. Speed loader holders for revolvers can be worn on your belt in the front. This will be a tough class for a revolver and not recommended. If you are shooting a low-capacity semi-auto we recommend 6-8 magazines.

Electronic hearing protection is mandatory.

A sturdy belt, hat with brim, wrap around impact resistant eye protection, pants with pockets, comfortable shoes or boots, etc.  A dump pouch and shooting gloves are recommended. There is no need for knee pads as all shooting is done from standing. There is no need to cover, it is illegal to carry concealed anywhere in the State of Nevada if you do not possess a CCW honored by Nevada, including private property.

We also recommend sunscreen, electrolyte drinks (we will have water).  We will have a short lunch break so bring a sack lunch.

Ammunition Requirements: 9mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, 10mm, .45 ACP, .38 Special, .357 mag, .380. Estimated round count 600-650 rounds. Bring 1000 rounds and you’ll go home with some, or we will store it for you until the next class if you are from out of town.

Day 2: will begin at 9:00AM and go until approximately 4:00PM. Other companies teaching a similar class are charging $1,000 – $1,300 per student. Your cost for this class is only $290 per person.

The following information will tell you what to expect at the class and what you will need to bring.

Please bring your government issued photo ID, IE: Driver’s License.

You must be able to remove your weapon from your holster using one hand, not two hands. Cross-draw, shoulder holsters or ankle holsters are not allowed.

Speed loader holders for revolvers can be worn on your belt in the front. AR Pistols are not allowed. If you are shooting a single stack or a low-capacity semi-auto, you will need more magazines. Please do not come with what I call the “Ghetto mag”, holding 30-50 rounds. Bring the mags that you would carry on the street. IE: standard out of the box magazines. You are training for a bad encounter on the street. You will need a flashlight mounted to your gun or a handheld flashlight operated by a rear button NOT to exceed 500 lumens. The weapon mounted flashlight must fit into your holster.
