Full Course Tuition: $750 (full course paid in advance - save $15 for each of 5 classes)

This advanced course is broken up into 5 separate classes that teach related skills designed to support and progressively build on one another. Each class lasts a minimum of 1 to 2 hours. Anyone can attend, from novice to expert, above the age of 18. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Attendees MUST disclose any physical limitations or issues that might preclude you from standing or walking for any length of time. This does not disqualify anyone, but it is important for us to know so we can make reasonable modifications to training procedures.

You can choose which classes to attend, and are always welcome to contact us to discuss your skill level, goals and comfort level. This can help us guide you in a class selection that benefits you the most. Classes are limited to a maximum of 6 people. As with all our classes, we only go as fast as our slowest shooter to ensure a comfortable and effective learning experience for all attendees. Classes are conducted in our Training Center at Total Impact Guns & Indoor Range. 616 North Tamiami Trail, Nokomis, FL 34275.
