The Basic Personal Protection Course may be the most useful and exciting class you’ll ever take. This introductory course provides hands-on training to ensure that our students become competent, law-abiding handgun-owners. The class is especially suited for men and women who are new shooters, but can be very informative to veteran shooters as well. Instruction includes:

• Informed handgun selection
• Basic handgun usage, marksmanship and gunhandling
• Firearm concealment
• Proper maintenance
• Safe storage
• Legal responsibilities
• Awareness tools
• Protective tactics

Upon completion of this course you’ll receive the Certificate of Handgun Training required by the Tennessee Department of Safety as part of your application for your handgun carry permit.

Includes certificate, workbook, ammunition, range session, testing, safety glasses, hearing protection, and use of one of our firearms, if necessary.

Course Fee: $99. Eight hours of training - conducted over two four-hour sessions on consecutive days, or in a single eight hour day. 

This course is designed for students who have taken the basic handgun carry permit course at Rangemaster, but haven’t taken any further courses. If you took your permit class a year ago or longer, many things have changed in the law since your class. In addition, the skills you learned with your pistol are now very rusty. The Refresher Course will bring you up to date on legal issues, reinforce safety and shooting technique, and give you some structured practice on the range. Class runs from 6:00pm until 10:00 pm, one evening. We’ll spend a couple of hours in the classroom, and a couple on the range. You may bring your own handgun or use ours, and the ammo is included. Cost is only $59.00.

This course expands on the skills of the introductory class, including the following:

• Mental conditioning for confrontation

Rangemaster conducts a one evening OC Class from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. In the classroom, you will learn the history and development of OC (pepper spray), its characteristics and how to select the right unit, and its deployment in self defense. There will also be some practice opportunity with inert spray to learn how to actually get the canister out and into action in a confrontation.

Pepper spray is an extremely useful and important defensive tool, but like all such tools training is required to learn how to use it properly. If you have family members who don't/can't carry a firearm, this class could be very valuable to them.

Cost is only $49.00 and students receive a Fox Labs certificate of training.

Course Fee: $79 and includes ammunition
