Where do you teach?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

I use the range facilities at Ben Avery Shooting Facility (BASF)<\/a>.<\/p>

I usually use Practical Pistol Ranges B, E & F for classes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Do you supply or rent guns?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Not usually. I will on prior arrangement allow students to use one of my firearms for the range activities or to test fire a specific gun. They are expected to provide appropriate ammunition. I don’t charge fees for the use but it is by prior arrangement ONLY.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What calibers do you normally work in?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

I use safe, plastic training ammunition for students during handling and initial shooting exercises.\u00a0<\/p>

I have the following calibers available:<\/p>

  • .22LR<\/li>
  • .380 ACP<\/li>
  • 9MM<\/li>
  • .38 Special<\/li>
  • .45 ACP<\/li>
  • .223\/5.56\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

    Students can purchase their own simulated training ammo and bring to class.<\/p>

    I recommend:<\/p>

    • A-Zoom<\/li>
    • ST Action Pro<\/li>
    • Magpul<\/li>
    • Tipton<\/li>
    • Saf-T-Trainers (I use these.)<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Why not PayPal\/VenMo\/etc?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      Unfortunately credit card transactions for firearms related activities are unpopular with banking services. Cash apps also have restrictions and charge me fees. If you can only uses a cash app or some other electronic means, please contact me and we can see if some arrangement can be reached.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
