Please leave your pistol and ammunition inside your vehicle. However, if you can't secure them, you may bring only cased pistols inside the classroom. Don't bring ammo into the classroom.

When moving between your vehicle, the classroom, and the range, always have your pistol in a case.  

You may only handle your pistol at 1) the Safety Station or  2) on the Firing Line - Do NOT handle your pistol inside the classroom or at the Magazine Filling Station.

On weekdays, the main gate on Evora Drive may be partially closed indicating the range is closed. However, it is open for the Paladin Tactical class.  Pass through the gate and drive down the hill toward the public range. About 50 yards past the public range, you will see a sign for the Hunter Education/Action Pistol Range. Turn right into the driveway and park on the gravel. Our classroom is located behind the chain link fence. Come on in!
