Cost $50.00 + range fee: This includes targets, range supplies and handouts. Students to provide their own firearm, ammunition, personal gear and lunch. There are no discounts applicable to this course. Members of P.M.S.C. Sportsmen's Club are not required to pay the range fee. However, we do require membership verification on the enrollment form.

Course format: Lecture approximately 2 hours and live-fire exercises approximately 5 hours.

Instructor(s): The instructors and staff are FIRE Institute volunteers who have collectively accrued several thousand hours of formal training from experienced, professional firearms instructors. In addition to their personal firearms training, each of the course staff have attended firearms instructor schools run by professional instructors, including Jim Crews (Marksman's Enterprise) and Giles Stock (Rangemaster, Gunsite Academy).

Class size: Enrollment will be limited to six students.

Prerequisites: No prerequisites other than the minimum age limit of 18 years old. Proof of no criminal history is required. Please read through our Credentialing documentation.

There is certain equipment which is REQUIRED in every course. One may not proceed in the course without the following:

Ear protection and Eye protection.

Cap or hat with baseball-style bill. This is to prevent ejected brass from another shooter's pistol from falling between your eyewear and your eye, burning you. It is important gear.

Carbine. Limited to the AR15 and AK47 platforms in 5.56 x 45, 5.45 x 39 or 7.62 x 39.

Sling. A standard carry strap is recommended for this course. No "M-60" style horizontal carry modes, Three Point or Single Point slings.

At least three magazines. We prefer you have three, in case one malfunctions during the course.

Two belt mounted magazine pouch worn on the support side (a.k.a. weak side).

200 rounds of ammunition. We recommend students use one brand of ammunition throughout the course. Different brands and loads of ammunition can significantly affect the point of impact of your firearm. We also suggest students avoid the very cheapest ammunition and reloads. While "match grade" ammunition would be a waste of money, your investment in this course does justify the use of reasonably consistent ammunition. No incendiary, tracer, armor piercing, or other exotic ammunition is permitted.

Soft drinks or water to drink while down on the range. There is no water on the range itself, and the Club house is too far to run back and forth. Please bring a lunch. No alcohol of any kind is to be consumed within eight hours of the start of any course session or at any time during the course.

Rain gear. The course proceeds rain or shine.

Please note:

Wear substantial shoes and "work clothes", denim jeans or fatigues.
Please transport your Carbine to the range in UNLOADED condition.
Please contact the Course Instructor with questions regarding course content, firearms and related gear.
