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. Just past the public range, you will see a sign for "Education Classrooms." Turn right and go down the hill. Park on the gravel.
If the parking lot is full, park on the pavement next to the "Corporation Yard" which just up the hill and past the sign for the Action Pistol Range. Don't park in the public range parking lot.
We will meet on the range (likely Training Bay 1 next to the warehouse). If we are on Training Bay 1, you may park your vehicle near the concrete platform.
