Class Policies - Scheduling/Cancellations/Refunds

In-Person Class Policies

Scheduling:

If you can’t make the scheduled class date, please contact us as soon as possible to reschedule. If a reschedule is requested 5 or less days from the date of the class, but still 24 hours before the class time, a $60 fee will be charged to reschedule.

Reschedule requests within 24 hours of the class start time will incur a $100 fee to reschedule. Classes cannot be rescheduled on or after the start date and time.

Please arrive at the range location 5-10 minutes prior to the schedule class time. This will allow for signing of waivers and getting checked in. If you arrive late, the class end time does not extend to make up for your late arrival. The class start and end times remain the same even with late arrivals. If you want to reschedule because of a late arrival, a $100 fee will be charged.

Refunds:

If a cancellation is requested more than 5 days from the class date, a full refund may be given. If a cancellation is requested 5 or less days from the day of the class (but not the same day as the class), a 50% refund will be provided.

Refunds requested the same day as the class are not eligible for a refund.

There are no refunds for online class purchases.

The instructor can terminate a class at any time because of unsafe firearms handling and/or failure to follow stated safety rules. No class refunds will be provided.

LTC Proficiency Demonstration

The license to carry qualification requires students to know how to safely handle and shoot a handgun from 3 yards to 15 yards. It is not a class on how to shoot. Any students that show up to a proficiency demonstration/qualification without prior handgun experience will be turned away. This is based solely on the discretion of the instructor. No refunds will be provided.

No refunds will be issued for failed LTC qualifications. At the discretion of the instruction, LTC qualifications can be scheduled again with another session purchase.
