If you are in need of a CCL renewal, I am teaching them several times a month now out at The Range at 355. We do most of our classes at that location now to have the classroom and range all at the same place! Doing class at Range at 355 lets us not have to worry about adding time to class to commute to the range and everything is all included. You only pay the renewal fee of $55 instead of adding an extra $30 for range fees.

Please check out our calendar on our website for class dates and to register.

This 2–3 hour course combines situational awareness, judgment-based decision making, and marksmanship drills—all with instant feedback. Using laser technology, you’ll face realistic “shoot/don’t shoot” scenarios, refine your grip, stance, and trigger control, and leave with the confidence to protect yourself responsibly. A Certificate of Completion is included.

Do you want to learn about and shoot the AR-15? This class is for you!! The best part is you do not even have to own one! We will supply you with an AR to use when you let us know. You only have to supply the ammo and be willing to learn.

I will be teaching with my fellow instructor Dan Nicholson on 8/9. Feel free to ask questions.
