The *Practical Session is scheduled for five (5) hour time blocks. The number of seats available for each session is one (1). This allows for a more personal and more effective training experience during the dry-fire and live-fire exercises. I will conduct courses with larger groups, please contact me.

Equipment: All safety equipment, ammunition, pistols, targets, etc. will be provided. If you own shooting glasses or ear protection, you can also bring them if you prefer to use your own.
Personal Firearms: If you have a personally owned firearm in which you wish to use during the course, please let me know the make, model and caliber. You will need to supply at least fifty (50) rounds of ammunition for the gun.
Clothing: Please wear closed toe shoes (no flip flops or sandals), a crew neck (T-shirt) or button-up shirt (no low-cut neckline). Long pants are recommended, but not required.
