Questions to ask before you book

  1. Is the class built for first-time shooters, and does it include live fire?
  2. Who teaches it, and what are their credentials?
  3. How long is it, and does the price include range time, ammunition, targets and a rental firearm?
  4. What should you bring: eye and ear protection, your own firearm, or nothing at all?
  5. How many students does each instructor work with?
  6. Are there age, accessibility or prerequisite requirements?
