Each person will learn differently. Some may pick the skill up very fast, others may not. You may choose to take only one session, however, getting involved in a weekly 2 hour session will drastically improve your shooting abilities. I tailor each class to the students needs and develop a training plan strictly designed for what the student wants to gain from the course. I can hone in your strengths and build on your weaknesses.

Due to nationwide ammunition shortages costs have gone up tremendously. You are welcome to bring ammunition or pay an additional $10 fee. Also, if you bring your own firearm to class, you will need to bring ammunition for it as well. 

We apologize for this unfortunate inconvenience.

Classroom Lecture (new permit / refresher class)

Effective July 1, 2017, there is a 60 day renewal window. A person wishing to renew an Iowa permit to carry must apply within 30 days before or within 30 days after the permit expires, otherwise the higher NEW permit fee must be charged. A person who holds (or held) a permit issued on or after January, 1st, 2011 is not required to complete another training course to renew or obtain a new permit to carry. However, even though re‐training is not required, completing another training course or taking other steps to learn about law changes could be highly beneficial to a person who intends to go armed.

Refresher classes will be offered for $25 during our regularly scheduled lecture courses. However, you will need to provide proof that you have been issued an Iowa permit to carry on or after January 1st, 2011. 

This course is designed for students who are getting a new permit to carry or a refresher and would like to know the permit to carry laws, rules and regulations. Since this is a lecture course, you do not need to bring a firearm.

The course is held at any location of your choice or at my home office.

State law does NOT require you to shoot, however, I would highly recommend it. It's not a contest and there are no exams. I can and will teach you the fundamentals of range/gun safety and how to properly and effectively use your firearm. Also, if you'd like to obtain a Minnesota permit to carry, you will need to qualify on my range with a handgun or revolver.
