Questions to ask before you book
- Is the class built for first-time shooters, and does it include live fire?
- 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?
From the classes training providers list on their USA Arms pages, in this state and nationwide. A state figure needs 10 providers and 10 classes stating it. Prices are what providers list, not quotes: ask what a price includes. Figures as of October 24, 2026. Read the first-class guide
