This is course-dependent.
In general, we ask that you bring adequate hearing protection, eye protection and appropriate range attire. The weather in Southeast Louisiana is generally pleasant but it is hot and humid with a chance of rain every day. Sun screen and bug spray will be provided on the range. The range can be muddy and wet as it is a grass surface. We highly suggest a second pair of shoes/boots as the grass will be very damp in the mornings. Clothing should be appropriate for the shooting range and your safety and comfort is your responsibility. Shorts are acceptable but you may have to kneel or lay prone depending on your class. Bring a raincoat if you think you need it.
Ammunition, firearms and other training gear may or may not be provided, depending on the specific course.
Depending on flight availability and your preference, we suggest Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) or Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR). Both locations are roughly an hour from Robert, LA, with traffic as a variable.
