Costs and Requirements

We offer classes for individuals as well as groups. A group can be a SWAT unit, special military unit, or any group of people with similar skill levels. Our Open classes are available, on an individual basis, to anyone who can legally possess a firearm. We offer a Basic class and Intermediate - Advanced classes. If your current skill level allows you to safely draw a handgun from either a concealed carry or a duty type holster and reliably hit a man sized target at a distance of 10 yards in under 2 seconds, you qualify for our Intermediate - Advanced course. Those who do not possess that skill level should take the Basic class.

High quality Concealment Holsters and Tactical Holsters are available for online purchase from USAHolsters.com.

More information about our "Group" and "Individual" classes are as follows

Groups

The minimum tuition cost for our normal 5 days of handgun instruction is $10,000 and includes up to 10 students. From 10 students to 18, add $1,000 for each student. This cost includes lunch and dinner starting with lunch on the first range day. Groups are offered our "bed and breakfast program" at an additional charge of $100 per student for the 5 day class. An optional shotgun or carbine program taught concurrently with the handgun program is available for an additional tuition cost of $200 and $300, respectively. A 3 day stand alone Carbine course which encompasses short and long range reactive shooting is also available at a cost of $8000 for up to 10 students. Two additional students, for a total of 12, can be accommodated at an additional cost of $800 each. This cost, like the Handgun program, includes lunch and dinner. Bed and breakfast for each student is $100 extra.

If your group requires rental firearms, an additional charge of $50 per student for handguns and $100 for shoulder weapons will apply. We do not require any of our students to lodge with us and we can recommend nearby motels upon request. Ammunition costs are additional to the lodging, food and tuition. The group is responsible for supplying their own ammo or the school will supply it at a competitive price upon request. It is necessary that most in the group have the same skill level in view of the fact that we design each "group" instruction to work at the pace of the least skilled student.

To set up a group school, it is necessary to contact us by phone or E-mail and pick a date. You will communicate with our staff on what kind of class you would like. We normally recommend a class with the emphasis on handgun followed by instruction in a shoulder weapon. However we will custom design a class for your specific needs. We will provide a simple contract that requires no deposit until 30 days before the class. At that time we require a nonrefundable deposit of 25% of the tuition cost. Government agencies are not required to put down a deposit unless ammunition is to be furnished.

Please read about lodging, food and ammunition cost later on this same page for further information.

Individuals

We have combined our Advanced and Intermediate classes into one class. For students who attend one of our scheduled Intermediate or Advanced Classes the tuition cost for Handgun instruction is $1,000. The cost includes lunch and dinner for the five day program. For an additional $100 we will provide lodging and breakfast each day of the program. A deposit of 50% is required for individuals upon signup, with the balance due at the first evening of class. Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, American Express, checks, and cash are accepted.

An optional shoulder weapon course is taught concurrent with the handgun program. The combat shotgun course cost is $200. Programs for 9mm carbine are $300.See Rifle Class and Dates/Signup for information and availability and to sign up for a class.

Over the years, our Basic Handgun class has been instrumental in developing the interest of hundreds of beginners in shooting; more information can be found on our Classes page. It has also given shooters that are experienced with a handgun but have never worked out of a holster, the necessary skills to take our Intermediate or Advanced class. For this reason we have always discounted our Basic Class dramatically. The Basic Handgun program does not offer an optional shoulder weapon course. We welcome anyone who can legally possess a firearm, including children, as long as their parents are present. For the Basic Class the School will supply handguns, both revolver and semi-auto, and ammunition. For our Basic Class we offer a flat fee of $1200.This includes tuition, school firearms, ammunition and lodging, including three meals a day. The maximum size for our Basic Class is 12 students.
