This is an intermediate level class. Students must have completed a Basic or Fundamental AR-15 course before taking this class. You need to know the universal rules of gun safety and be able to demonstrate safe gun handling, weapon familiarity, foundational marksmanship skills and also work a pistol from the holster.

Students failing to meet the criteria and/or maintain safety requirements may be removed from training. Please ensure you are at an intermediate level before registering. 

• Bring a zeroed AR-15 with a sling. AR style sling to allow it to hang from your body (not hunting rifle style; 2 point preferred over 1 point sling). 

• AR-15 must have either iron sights (BUS=back up sights), red dot, holographic sights, ACOG or LPVO. 

• Pistol and strong side outside-the-waistband holster. Holster must completely cover the trigger guard and be stiff enough to re-holster the firearm with one hand. No cross draw or shoulder holsters. (Service caliber pistols are preferable including .380, .357 sig, 9mm, 10mm, .40 and .45 caliber. No .22 or .50 caliber pistols or revolvers.)

• 250 rounds of ammo for your rifle and 50 rounds for your pistol (factory loaded full metal jacket or practice ammo,). 

• Magazine/ammunition pouch for rifle and pistol magazines and 3 magazines for both firearms. 

• Remember to bring eye protection and hearing protection (electronic preferred). 

• Please bring your own lunch, snacks, and water or beverage of choice (no alcohol). Lastly, have a good attitude and an open mind.

Long pants, boots or tennis shoes (closed toe), crew neck shirt (no tank top or v-neck shirts). Hot brass down the shirt is a big bummer. Ball cap. Clothing appropriate for the weather as it can be +/- 10 degrees different from Boise/Meridian in the desert. Knee pads and elbow pads may be helpful as we will be getting on the ground. 

Yes! I have 2 zero’d AR-15 rifles that can be used as rentals. They have slings and magazines are included in the rental of $10. Of course ammo is extra and you can bring your own factory loaded, new, brass casings of .223 remington/5.56mm FMJ or you can buy ammo from me. No armor piercing, tracer rounds or incendiary ammo allowed. If you have any questions on the ammo or rifles please let me know. 

Rental pistol and holster in 9mm or .380 is available for $10. 9mm and .380 ammo available for purchase at current prices. Contact the instructor with questions or for rental.

Yes, if you are at least 18 years old, a citizen of the United States or a current member of the United States Armed Forces, and you are not disqualified under Idaho law from obtaining a concealed weapons license for a reason other than not having attained 21 years of age.

If you conceal carry, at no time, unless your life is in danger, may you unholster your firearm in the classroom.
