FAQ's
What equipment do I need to attend?
The class description gives you the required equipment for each class. For many of our 100 Level classes, we give you everything you need to get started... free of charge!
For many of our 200 Level classes, we still give you what you need, and you just need to purchase ammo... which can be bought right in the store if needed.
Do I need to take a prerequisite class to attend this class?
You do not need to take a prior class to take any of our 100 Level classes. Many of our 101, 200 and 300 Level classes do require a prerequisite class to ensure you have a solid foundation to learn additional skills.
Required prerequisites are listed in the class description and are there to ensure every student is on the same page in the intermediate and advanced classes.

We think it is important to recognize your time and dedication to training!
You will receive a Certificate of Completion that will show you are attending classes and building a record of your training! These certificates can also be submitted when you apply for your CCW/LTC applications.
