- Who teaches it, and what are their credentials?
- How long is it, and does the price include range time, ammunition, targets and a rental firearm?
- What should you bring: eye and ear protection, your own firearm, or nothing at all?
- How many students does each instructor work with?
- Are there age, accessibility or prerequisite requirements?
