Shotguns may be used in this class, as well.  Preferred caliber is a service caliber (.38/9mm or higher for PCC, .223/5.56 or higher for others).  NO GREEN TIP OR STEEL CORE AMMO!!!

• A functioning firearm,
• minimum 3 Standard (not low capacity) magazines

• if using a bolt or lever action, a butt cuff or ammo pouch is highly recommended,
• wrap around eye protection
• a brimmed hat that is compatible with your hearing protection
• “in the ear” hearing protection with electronic muffs hearing protection. (like the Howard Leight Impact Sport). This is a safety requirement and non-negotiable.  If you come to class with inappropriate gear, you will be dismissed with NO REFUNDS.

• a sling (2 point tactical preferred).
• Approximately 250 rounds are required but bring what you can “Afford” to shoot. The important thing is the TRAINING, not making the gun go “Bang”.
• Shotgun?  Contact the instructor
