ALL courses have the following requirements:

• You MUST be 18 years or older or 13 or older with a parent/guardian present for the entire class time. No drop-offs!
• You MUST be legally able to purchase and own a firearm.
• You MUST be a United States citizen OR legal resident of the United States.
• Aim Center Mass does NOT allow pregnant/breastfeeding women on the range. Please contact VTAC Training for information on range-training alternatives.

Students are responsible for costs such as range fees and ammo purchases. You can view a list of range fees at the Aim Center Mass website. There are no additional fees unless otherwise stated.

Students who bring their own firearm may bring their own ammo ONLY if that ammo is authorized to be used on the Aim Center Mass range. Certain types of ammo or calibers above a certain power are NOT allowed at the range. Please contact Aim Center Mass for more information.

VTAC Training can conduct classes on-location if necessary. Classes may not be held in certain locations due to legal and safety requirements. There may be additional fees for conducting on-location training classes.

Students who complete a course will receive a certificate of completion at the end of a successful training course.

Instructors are NRA certified but teach from our own course material. If you require an NRA certification, search class listings on the NRA website.

Instructors will do their best to accommodate students who need rest or breaks during training. This includes breaks due to disability or other personal needs.

Students can bring a snack/drink. Please avoid eating or drinking during training as your full participation is appreciated. Snacking/drinking on the range is not allowed for health and safety reasons.

Understand that taking too many breaks means training time will run out before the course is successfully completed. Please keep this in mind.

You do NOT need a gun to participate in firearms training courses. The instructor will provide firearms for training.

Students can rent a firearm if they prefer not to use the provided firearms. Renting a firearm will also REQUIRE the purchase of ammo for safety reasons.

Students may bring their own firearms if they meet the following requirements:

• The firearm is allowed on the Aim Center Mass range. Contact Aim Center Mass to check their restriction on firearms/ammo.
• Bring at least 100-200 rounds of your own ammo. See the below question for details.
• The firearm is related to your course. Do NOT bring a rifle to a handgun course. And yes, that includes AR pistols and similar firearms.
• The firearm MUST be transported safely, unloaded, in a secure container. Do NOT walk into Aim Center Mass with a loaded gun in your hand!

You do NOT need to bring ammo to participate in firearms training courses. The instructor will provide 22 Long Rifle ammo for training.

• If you are using your own gun, bring at least 100-200 rounds of your own ammo. You can purchase more ammo at Aim Center Mass if you do not have 100-200 rounds on hand.
• For safety reasons, you are REQUIRED to purchase ammo if you rent a gun. Do not bring ammo if you intend to shoot a rental.

A student may or may not be able to participate in their registered course if they arrive late. Instructors will NOT begin a class late if any course material will be skipped as a result.

Understand that YOU are missing out on valuable training by being late. Instructors will ALWAYS prioritize classroom time over range time, so late arrivals will miss out on the most fun part of a course.

A student will NOT receive a refund if a course is canceled because they are late, unless there are extraordinary circumstances.

Students must dress appropriately in order to participate in firearms training courses.

• Students must wear a t-shirt or similar closed-neck shirt. Any shirts that expose the chest or have large openings can trap hot casings which will burn the skin.
• Students must wear sneakers or a similar closed toe shoe. Any shoes which expose the toes increase the risk of injury. Flip flops, sandals, and high heels are not acceptable.
• Students must wear athletic or casual bottoms. Mini-skirts or swimsuits are not acceptable.
• Please bring a sweater or light jacket. Courses are held indoors and may be chilly for some people.
• Hearing and eye protection is REQUIRED. You will NOT be able to participate if your hairstyle, piercings, or other stylings prevent you from wearing protective glasses, earmuffs, or foam ear plugs.
• Please be modest and respectful. Avoid dressing in revealing or provocative clothing. Do not wear clothing with obscene or derogatory imagery/text. There may be other shooters and staff present during training, so please be considerate of others.

Cancellations MUST be made 24 hours in advance in order to receive a full refund. Students who do not attend their scheduled course or arrive late will not receive a refund. There are no partial refunds.

If an instructor is not able to attend a course, the student will have the option to reschedule their course or receive a full refund.
