Step 3: Before I qualify, I’d like lessons or to practice with my carry gun.
Our 6-Star Gun Range is the perfect place for you to come and practice for your upcoming PTC Qualification. You have some great options below. Choose the best option for your level.
- Bring your firearm to Gun For Hire, any time the range is open. At the retail counter, tell our staff you would like to practice and shoot the qualification course. They will hand you the correct target and course of fire. (Note: If you have not taken our Holster Draw Course, you will practice the qualification from the ready position.) You can also purchase time with a Range Safety Officer to stand in the port and give great tips that will help you improve your score. Walk in anytime. We always have RSOs available.
- You can schedule a private lesson, which is two hours of one-on-one training. The instructor will work with you on everything you need to feel comfortable and confident with your firearm. To see the upcoming available schedule for private training, head to GunForHire.com/private.
- Sign up for NRA Basics of Pistol. We highly recommend this course if you are a new gun owner. This course also allows you to apply for the Florida Non-Resident Carry Permit, which will allow you to carry in approximately 35 states. If you are interested in taking our Holster Draw Course, this NRA Basics of Pistol course is a prerequisite. To see the available dates and times for NRA Basics of Pistol head to GunForHire.com/pistol.
We hope you enjoyed this week’s tip! Curious about shooting for the first time, or looking for advanced holster training? We would love to welcome you to Gun For Hire to experience our 6-Star Family Gun Range, Gun Store, and Training.
