Drawing On Range
Customers have the opportunity to be granted permission to draw from the holster through two methods: successful completion of our 202 Course or by passing a Drawing Certification Test. The Drawing Certification Test is designed for individuals who already possess significant experience with drawing from the holster.
The Drawing Certification Test is an evaluation that comprises both a classroom component and a practical assessment. The test is expected to last approximately 1 hour. During the examination, participants will be assessed on their knowledge of holster safety, proper drawing techniques, and firearm handling skills.
By offering these two options for obtaining permission to draw from the holster, we aim to ensure a safe and controlled environment for all our customers while accommodating experienced individuals who can demonstrate their proficiency. Safety remains our top priority, and we encourage everyone to participate in the appropriate training prior to scheduling for the test.
