Refund Policy

Rental Policy

Students who provide 48 hours notice will be refunded in full, less any transaction fees.

Students who provide less than 48 hours notice may NOT be refunded unless a reasonable situation is noted by the student. This clause is simply put in place in an effort to avoid no-shows and ensure effective use of classroom and instructor time.

The firearm rental policy includes the price of ammunition, but students may use their own ammunition if approved by the instructor.

The range rentals include a striker fired 9mm pistol and a similar frame 22 long rifle pistol. For young or hesitant students, the 22 long rifle pistol is advised for the basic pistol shooting portion.

Firearm rental pricing is dependent on ammo expense.
