Please note the following
·Other then the willingness to learn, there are no prerequisites for Randy Cain's Beginning Handgun class or Jack Furr's Beginning Carbine.
·Qualification for any intermediate class requires a certificate of completion from a beginning handgun class signed by Randy, Jack, Bill or any other established firearms instructor or academy (i.e. Gunsite, Thunder Ranch, Blackwater, etc). If you have not completed an accredited beginners course and believe that you are skilled enough for an intermediate class, Jack and Bill have allowed me to vet any applicant for their courses. If you wish to pursue this option, I will email you a course of fire and we will arrange a date and time to meet at the CR&PC to qualify you. This only applies to civilians. Sworn LE who have completed a basic POST shooting course and who are currently qualified with their department are exempt from these requirements. However, it should be noted that you must have a strong skill set and a solid understanding of the fundamentals if you are taking any of the intermediate classes.
·Due to its physical demands (ground fighting, etc), you must be in good physical condition to take Bill Jean's Advanced Tactical Pistol class. Furthermore, all of those applying shall contact him re your firearms experience prior to sending a deposit. I cannot vet you.
·Course size is limited to 16 for all classes except the ATP which will be kept to 12.
·Apply to any of the classes directly through the instructors (i.e. website or phone).
·Refer to "equipment needed" section of each instructors website for proper gear requirements.
·Courses are scheduled on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. They will start promptly at 0800 hrs on the outdoor range and will proceed despite inclement weather. Low light/no light shooting will be conducted at the indoor range.
Attention law enforcement personnel; if you wish to combine an interagency, LE only class with any of the listed instructors and would like to utilize the CR&PC range, please contact me. Randy, Bill and Jack can offer mission specific courses tailored to your needs.
