Can I book any of the advanced classes without taking any of the prerequisites?
No. The prerequisites allow me to gauge your level and help you develop the proper techniques in order to be able to do the advanced courses. It is a safety measure. In the advance courses we move and shoot. It is imperative that the proper techniques are applied in order to do the course safely.
Why do you use an outdoor range instead of an indoor range?
Indoor ranges limit your learning ability. Shooting from a table is not only limiting but, can also create bad habits that would be devastating in real world scenarios. At the outdoor range, we can actually shoot from holstered positions, move and shoot, and it is a much more pleasant environment in terms of the noise level. A lot of new shooters get shell shock at indoor ranges due to the noise level. This can be detrimental to a students learning experience.
