BUY ONE GET ONE – HOME DEFENSE SHOOTING SKILLS CLASS
Special offer for our October Home Defense Shooting Skills class. Buy one, get one free. Use code KROCT24 when you sign up both people to get 50% off each entry. You have to bring a friend to get the 50% off. This class is intended for people that have a pistol and/or long gun (rifle or shotgun) in the home. No holster required. No carry permit required. Class will focus on getting the gun from a table or box, moving to cover and getting effective hits on targets from 3-15 yards. Class can be taken with pistol, rifle or shotgun. Class will include one live fire shoot house run with pistol or pistol caliber carbine (we will have loaner pistol caliber carbine). We are also offering the handgun Skill Builder class that afternoon (a short 2 hour session) for those that want more handgun shooting coaching and practice.
SHOTGUN CLASSES OCTOBER 6
On Sunday, October 6, Dave Reichek (Rangemaster-certified Advanced Shotgun Instructor) will offer two half day shotgun courses. Shotgun 1 is suitable for anyone with any shotgun and is an introduction to defensive shotgun basics. Shotgun 2 is suitable for graduates of any of our previous shotgun courses – and if you’ve taken any of our full day or level 2 shotgun classes in the past, you can re-take the October Shotgun 2 course for half price!
DPS 2, LOW LIGHT 1, DPS 3 and LOW LIGHT 2
October 12 and 13 we will run the classes that many need to earn their Defensive Pistol Skills Program challenge coins – Defensive Pistol Skills 2 (Saturday afternoon), Low Light 1 (Saturday evening), Defensive Pistol Skills 3 (Sunday afternoon) and Low Light 2 (Sunday evening). On Saturday, our friends from Immersive Training Solutions will be bringing out their VIRTRA video simulator and students in the Saturday classes will get runs on the VIRTRA system.
DISCOUNT CODES
I have collected up all the discount codes we have set up with vendors we recommend. Alumni of KR Training classes will find them in the monthly e-news email. You’ll have to open the email and scroll to the bottom to find them. It’s a reward for actually opening and reading the email!
PRIVATE LESSONS
I am available for private weekday training. Doug Greig is also available for private weekday and some weekend sessions. Contact us for details.
REFRESHER DEALS
Re-take any class you’ve taken before for half price! Contact me to get the alumni discount code. Firearms skills deteriorate without practice. Most ranges don’t allow drawing from a holster, shooting quickly, moving or shooting from cover. If you don’t practice the skills you learned in class, they won’t be there when you need them.
TOM GIVENS NEW BOOKS
The Collected Wisdom of Tom Givens, Volume I and Volume II are now available. Rangemaster, 1808 James L Redman Parkway, Plant City, FL, 33563 for orders. From Tom:
I can’t have these printed by the thousands like a book publisher. To keep costs down to my proposed $20.00 price point, I broke the material into two sets, Volume I and Volume II. Both are about 130 pages each of selected articles from the past few years. Volume I is available now, and Vol II will be available in early October. Cost delivered will be $20.00 in print form, and $15.00 in pdf format.
Right now I am only accepting orders paid by personal check or money order. Put a note with your check as to which volumes, print or pdf, and address or email address. Shipping might be slow since I am on the road so much, but I’ll get them to you ASAP. I plan Volume III for early 2025. Thanks!
