UPCOMING CLASSES
The list above shows non-CHL classes that still have spaces available. All our January non-CHL classes are sold out. As always, CHL new permit is 1st Saturday and CHL renewal is 2nd Saturday, every month.
The full schedule is online here.
COMPETITION RIFLE AND SHOTGUN CLASSES ADDED
National level 3-gun competitor Trip McIngvale will be offering two half-day competition long gun classes on March 3rd. The morning class will be on Competition Rifle, the afternoon class will be on Competition Shotgun. The focus of these courses will be to provide attendees with information about equipment, skills and practice drills useful for 3-gun, multigun, and tactical long gun competitions. These are intermediate level classes intended for those already familiar with basic operation of their long guns. More information about these courses will be added to the course description pages shortly.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
2011 was a great year for KR Training, with record numbers of classes and students, improvements to the range facility, new courses and a lot of good times putting rounds downrange. We look forward to seeing you in classes next year! Be careful out there, lock your car, don't leave items in your vehicle where they are visible to thieves, carry your gun and stay alert so you have a safe and happy holiday season!
