IMPORTANT INFO, EVERYONE PLEASE READ!!!!!!

-Range Fee's:

10-8 Consulting will be collecting range fees for this class when you sign up for the class.

If you are a member of the PWSA please proved 10-8 Consulting with a copy of your current membership card so you are NOT charged for the range fee.

The range fee applies to all students who are not members of the PWSA.


-ACCESS TO THE RANGE

Non-Members of the PWSA please gather at the front gate (in a group) and wait for a PWSA member that is attending the class to let you into the range. DO NOT TRY TO FOLLOW OTHER PWSA MEMBERS THAT ARE NOT PART OF THE CLASS INTO THE RANGE!!! Once inside the gate take the road to the right and go directly to Range #2 (second range from the right). Please do not go to the other ranges un-escorted, PWSA has a strict policy that all non-members must be escorted by a member at all times.

Remember this is a private range that is kind enough to let us use their facilities for this class. Please respect other members of the range, remember we are guests of the PWSA (if there is a problem please let me know so I can get the problem resolved). The only way I can keep hosting courses at the PWSA is if we have a good working relationship with the membership / board of the range.

PWSA MEMBERS: Please let students in the front gate and direct them to range #2. If someone would please man the front gate until all our students are in (as we have done it in the past) it would be greatly appriciated.


-LUNCH / START TIME

Please bring your lunch both days, we will break for lunch, but there will not be enough time to leave the range to go an get lunch at a fast food resturant.

We will start class at 8am on all days of training unless otherwise noted, please be on time.

We will have to pick up all trash and brass at the end of each day of shooting.

Full auto firining is *not* permitted at the range

Tracers and armor piercing ammo is *not* permitted at the range


Thanks for your help,
Jeff
