doubts, wait a couple of years. Children are actually easier
to teach than adults, because when we tell a child to do something,
they do it. Adults ask, "Why?"

Q. Are there types of ammunition that cannot be used
at the range; How much does ammunition cost at
the range?
Bring
only fresh factory ammunition for the gun you use. No reloads or
hand loads:
only new ammunition from a major manufacturer. When
there's a choice between ammunition
labeled "target" or "personal protection," choose
"target" for our classes unless we say otherwise. It's less expensive
and works just as well as more powerful ammunition. All ammunition must
be in
fresh factory boxes just as you bought it. Do not bring old, corroded
ammunition and do not mix or repack any ammunition. Bring 100 rounds to class. That
way you won't run short, can take
advantage of opportunities to practice, and return home with the
excess. It
won't spoil.
Ammunition
is NOT available for purchase at the range.
