FAQs
What should I bring to class?
Each class has a gear list which is provided on the class page. Remember to wear weather-appropriate clothing, bring water, snacks, lunch, any medications you may need, bug spray, suntan lotion, a baseball cap, and wear close toed shoes.
Do you need to have a concealed carry permit?
No, you do not need a concealed carry permit to attend a class.
Are your classes physically strenuous?
Certain drills are strenuous, but I adapt drills to ensure each student is able to participate regardless of fitness level. Keep in mind, you’ll be on your feet the entire day, in the sun, so staying hydrated is critical.
Is there an age requirement?
Students must be 18 years or older. If under 18, student must be accompanied by a parent with proof of identification for both student and parent. If under the age of 18, parent must first contact me to discuss student goals.
What experience level do I need to be at to attend?
Coming with an open mind and a desire to train is all you need to attend. I run classes for brand new gun owners to those who are more experienced.
