Level 2: Practical Handgun on 4/25 (AM)

Ares Training Facility, 35615 N Treasure Island Ave, Leesburg, FL 34788-9289

The specific berm will be emailed to you after signing up for the class.

On the day of the class, check in at the shipping container office near the parking lot. Notify staff that you’re attending the Cottonmouth Collective Defense LLC class and they can also direct you to which berm the class is located in.

Every event at the range will begin with the following reminders.

Heat exhaustion and hypothermia are common concerns, but they depend on conditions. Be aware of the weather and prepare accordingly. Don’t waste a range trip by showing up dehydrated or improperly dressed.

Review the four rules of firearms safety before arriving. We will also cover them as a group.

Ensure everyone understands the terms we will use:

• “Range is cold” means all firearms must be unloaded with chambers visibly open.
• “Range is hot” or “Load and make ready” means everyone must be on or behind the firing line. Firearms may (and will) be loaded with live rounds—no one should be forward of the firing line.
• “Commence fire” (or another designated command) will signal the start of a drill.
• “Cease fire” can be called by anyone if there is imminent danger or injury. Upon hearing it, everyone must immediately stop shooting, unload their firearms, and make the range cold.

Everyone must understand the 180-degree rule. Firearm handling and shooting should only occur on the firing line.

Discuss what medical equipment each person has available. Every attendee should have their own IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit). At least one larger, more comprehensive medical kit will be available.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
