**NOTE** While there is no prerequisite course to this class this is absolutely NOT a beginner’s course. So if you are planning to sign up for this course, understand that it is assumed that you do have a decent understanding of safe weapons manipulation and at least some experience with firearms that goes a little further than a few visits to the flat range.

As we train ourselves in various classes and do our best to handle ourselves on the street, many of us forget that we spend a lot of time in two thousand pound deathtraps called cars. The criminal element understands this as well and has accordingly taken advantage of the fact that many of us get pitifully complacent the very instant we shut the door on our personal vehicles. So, the intent of this class is clear, in this course we will go over many principles that will make an individual far more aware of the issues that we deal with on a regular basis in and out of something as universally used as a personal vehicle.

FOR GPS USERS, WE ADVISE THAT YOU USE GOOGLE MAPS TO FIND THIS RANGE, OTHER APPS HAVE SENT PEOPLE TO THE WRONG STATE! Simply type “down zero shooting club’ into your google maps app and it should get you where you need to be.

Other things of note:

There is a $50 range fee PER DAY for this class that will be paid in cash upon arrival.

**ATTENTION PATREON MEMBERS** This is NOT covered with your $41 a month membership. The cost of acquiring material and disposal of that material for class, it would financially be irresponsible of me to not charge full price for this course.

You will probably need to bring a lunch our lunches do not exceed an hour.
We will be training rain or shine so bring appropriate clothing and plan ahead for the course. In this portion of the country, its safe to say that the weather has a mind of its own.

There is no minimum age to take this class.  However, students under 18 years of age are required to attend the class together with a participating adult.

Cancellations/Refund/Exchange Policy: If you cancel your training 60 days or more from your class date, you will receive a full refund. If you cancel sooner than 60 days from your class date, you forfeit 50% of your tuition. If you cancel at or inside of 30 days prior to class, you forfeit 100% of your course tuition. Transfers between classes or dates are permitted so long as the class you wish to transfer to has a slot available.

There are no exceptions to this policy. Please understand that you are filling a slot that could have gone to someone else. We cannot accommodate cancellations that cost other students spots in our classes. So, if possible, we need to the keep the cancellations to a minimum.

Disclaimer: If you choose to modify your guns, you assume the liability of whether or not the gun is operating correctly. As such, you alone will be responsible in the event of a catastrophic failure of the gun, including damage to the gun and resulting property damage. If you choose to bring reloaded ammunition to class, you are also solely responsible for whether or not that ammunition performs as intended.

Let’s be clear here, if you did something outside of factory specs on either the equipment or ammunition side of the house, or failed to properly assemble critical or noncritical components, and it explodes on you….. It’s on you.
