The following are procedures,
requirements and details about the class: |
| |
| Class Dates: |
 |
Classes are dictated, entirely, – by the weather and, to a much lesser degree, by numbers
of students.
The weather – must be 65+ degrees, with no more than
a chance of light rain, and with wind gusts of less than
12 mph.
Note: The knowledge / skills learned on the range could
be the difference between life and death if you ever have
to use them. Trying to safely absorb this information in
a windblown, chilly, wet, environment with loaded weapons
is dangerous / unacceptable. Thusly, classes November-March
are rare … but can happen.
Note: If a late-hour freak weather change (temperature drop,
or unexpected winds) is predicted, you will be notified of
the cancellation several days in advance
The range – is nine-lanes, with covered shooting tables
and seating, but open air and with outdoor targets. See the
Photo Gallery page to review the
range set-up.
The students – a minimum of nine individuals, all
of whom can attend on the same day, must be registered. Register
on the Contact
Us page.

| |
The class will provide the county application packet. |
| |
|
| If you are NOT from Benton County: |
| |
Your county-of-resident Sheriff's Office has the application
packet ... get two per person in case one gets messed up. “Sheriffs'
Shops” are not open on weekends ... get there before
4:30 P.M. on Friday.
You can also download your application from most county
sheriff's office web sites. If you can't get a packet, come
to class anyway and the instructor will complete a Benton
County form and transfer the info' later. |
| |
|
| You Are Not Required To Bring Anything To The
Class:: |
| |
The course will provide everything.
- Application packets for Utah
- Range cards
- Fingerprint
cards (and the accompanying instruction sheet)
- Targets
Markers
- Pens
However … Bring your personal (favorite) eye /
ear protection, if you so-choose. |
| |
|
| No-No Stuff: |
| |
No … Personal ammo. Large amounts, in varied calibers,
are required and will be provided: 7.62mm, .223, .38 Special,
.357 mag., .40 cal., and 12 gauge in 1 1/2” mini,
2 3/4” standard, 3” magnum, 3 1/2” ultra-magnum – in
bird, buck’, sabot, and rifled slug loads.
No … Personal firearms. If you want to become a better
marksman, and / or familiarize yourself your own weapon,
ask about our marksmanship course.
No … Concealed-carry holsters or fanny packs or purses
or whatever – those are for the marksmanship course.
Do not buy a self-defense gun before the class.
After this course, you'll have a much better idea of what
you, personally, should be carrying – what you shoot
best.
Additionally, you will br directed to dealers
who will demonstrate / order / sell you the weapon of your
choice, usually, at a lower price than you can find on your
own. |
| |
|
| Cost: |
| |
$128.00 Check, cash, or MO, on the morning of the class. |
| |
|
| If You Already Have An Oregon Concealed-Carry
Permit (Expired Or Active): |
| |
You still must take this course, and shoot in this course,
in order for the instructor to stamp and sign your application
and range (familiarity / competency) card. |
| |
|
| Choose Wisely: |
| |
Before taking a concealed-carry permit class, research, and
compare, the course content, and instructor qualifications,
carefully.
The skill / ability you gain from that course might well
be the live-or-die factor for you or your most precious loved
ones – this is a horrifying, played-out-many-times-everyday,
fact on today’s earth.
Courses that’ll allow a person to apply for a ‘permit
are common.
Programs that’ll make a permit-holder truly knowledgeable
and competent are uncommon.
The core of the ShootBane course is (after the detailed
academics) to, affordably, provide the most far-reaching
array of defensive firearms, and require the most extensive
hands-on instruction possible – in the areas of:
- Real-time safety
- Professional range conduct
- Real-life marksmanship
- Extensive, and multiple facets of,
live-fire
