We will be indoors for the entire course, including using the indoor range for the live-fire portion of the course. Please wear range appropriate clothing - no open toed shoes / low cut or loose fitting tops.  The range is typically chilly during the winter, so please dress in layers to stay comfortable throughout the course. We will take a lunch break around noon. Class should finish around 5pm.
