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

Just got an email from Tim that this is cancelled due to lack of interest. Perhaps if we could get enough folks we could get it re-instated, if you were contemplating it post here so we can see if there is anymore interest, thanks.

I got one more shooter to sign up. I think we need 3-4 more to make the class.

This will be better and cheaper than Front Sight / Gunsite / et-al...

come on people

Gents,



Thanks for the support. I've been hosting classes since 2000 and this is the first time we have ever had to cancel a class for any reason.

Unfortunatley I had to notify the range that the class was canceled so they could make that range avalible to other members.

Thus we no longer have a range even if we got enough people to sign up at this late date.

I first announced this class back in Aug of 2006. There was plenty of time for students to sign up. Unfortuniately we didn't get enough students to make this class happen. Hopefully next year.
