Students are expected to demonstrate safe gun handling during the handgun proficiency qualification. If basic safety or fundamental skills are not met or observed on the day of qualification, the student may be required to reschedule the proficiency portion for another date when these requirements can be safely met. No refunds will be issued. An additional $50 proficiency fee will apply for any return qualification session.
