hand gunning. The class covers Safety, Gun Design, Operation, and Marksmanship. The last hour touches on basic self-defense techniques usable in your Home,
but is only a taste of the defensive skills you need to protect yourself with a handgun. The BHG ends with some practice drills you can try on the range. BHG is required to
take a Level II Class. Level II Classes (Example - Armed Response or Concealed Carry) focus on defensive tactics and are an excellent follow up to refine your self
defense capabilities. You must schedule the class in advance. A One on One, 2 hour, BHG Class costs $120.00. If two or more students attend the class the
cost is $100.00 per student. Each student must supply their own handgun and a minimum of 100 rounds of ammunition. We prefer the handgun be calipered 9MM or
larger, but that is not required. Semi-automatic or revolver are welcome, but guns with Stiff / Heavy actions are discouraged especially for small or weak handed persons.
A strong side holster is not required but highly recommended. Collapsible Inside the waist band (IWB) holsters are discouraged.

Concealed Carry - Ready & Waiting
Test Fire Opportunity - TFO
A TFO is an excellent resource for learning about the gun you want / need before buying it. The most important issue in buying the correct gun is knowing
how it shoots in your hand. This TFO program allows you to test fire several guns without purchasing them. We will provide several different handguns of
various makes, models, styles, sizes, and calibers along with their related ammo. You are allowed to handle and shoot any of the guns present along with
having your questions addressed. Ammo is limited too a few rounds per gun until near the end of the session. At that time you are allowed some extra ammo
to help finalize your decision on the best gun for you. Our guns are NOT for sale, they are available for demonstration only. Each handgun is provided for
dry fire and then is loaded by ProTEQ Staff for you to test fire. The handguns you dislike are continually removed from the firing line until you find your preferred
choice. This is a limited (shortened) version of our Basic Firearms Class providing up to 2 hours of 1 on 1 time with a ProTEQ Instructor.
Cost (including guns, ammo, and instruction) is $100.00 per person. You may bring one observer. Contact Us to set up a TFO
Reloading - Making what you Want
Our Reloading class is a one on one hands on experience for the beginner to test his interest in the process. You are trained on a single stage press in the
simplest and clearest method of safe reloading. Each step is explained in detail while being demonstrated. You then practice that procedure for several cycles
learning the do's and dont's of that particular step. At the close of the class (about 2 hours long) you have successfully produced 2 or 3 dozens rounds of
reloaded ammo. At that time you leave with your ammo and a complete single stage reloading setup that you can keep and use at home for 30 days.
In addition you take home a supply of components sufficient to produce 1 to 2 hundred rounds. You are encouraged to buy your own supplies and reload all you
wish during the trial month. At the end of the 30 days you return the equipment. The class cost is $120.
