If you don't have a handgun, handgun rental is provided at no additional cost and you will have the opportunity to try multiple guns including revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. If you will be using the range's rental guns you must purchase your ammunition at the range as they only allow their ammunition to be shot through their guns. The ammunition is sold in preset packages which you can purchase when you check in for class.
If you have a handgun, feel free to bring it. Please remember that all firearms must be unloaded and securely encased before entering the building and should stay that way until the instructor advises you otherwise. You will shoot 75-100 rounds per person in this class. Ammunition is available for purchase at the range or you may bring your own.
