Pistol Standards

Welcome Letter / Important information for your course.

THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN ARRIVING ON THE RANGE: Please keep all firearms in their cases or holsters until we are on the firing line. For everyone’s safety, we will commit to NOT handling guns for any reason unless on the firing line.

FACILITY:

Cowtown is a rustic range complex without potable water. The Porta-Potties are cleaned regularly, but there are no other facilities nearby.

WHAT TO BRING:

We will be in desert terrain, so some type of:

• Comfortable closed-toe shoes, hiking shoes, or sneakers are suggested.
• Ballcap, hat with a visor or brim, eye, and ear pro (we can supply them if needed)
• Comfortable shirt with a closed collar (no V-neck or tank top)
• Sunscreen, water, snacks, and any meds if needed.

FIREARM/AMMO: We can provide a pistol if you don’t have one. (Please let us know.)

• Pistol with two to three magazines
• 200+ rounds of FMJ ammo

HOLSTER:

Please bring your own, or we can provide one, depending on the gun.

BELT:

Good quality leather or nylon belt, 1.5 to 2 inches wide.

SCHEDULE:

We will start with a brief introduction on housekeeping issues, sign-in, and safety briefing. After that, we will discuss our goals and inspect your gear. Our top priority is to create a safe training environment while evaluating your gun handling, accuracy, and safety. We will maintain a relaxed yet challenging pace. Our second goal is to have fun! Finally, we will have a quick debrief to go over your class experience. We’re excited to see you there.
