Equipment List and Ammunition
All equipment will be provided, and students should dress in weather-appropriate clothing suitable for extended range sessions. Ammunition, weapons & ammo can only be offered by training schools and cannot be self-supplied.
Safety is the foundation of this course and must be observed at all times. Hydration and personal nutrition are essential for long-range sessions, so participants are encouraged to bring water and snacks. Because the course is progressive in design, with each lesson building on the one before, full attendance is required for successful completion and certification.
