Students are expected to follow all range rules and obey the three NRA rules of gun safety:
1) ALWAYS keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction
2) ALWAYS keep your finger out of the trigger until ready to shoot.
3) ALWAYS keep guns unloaded until ready to use.
Each class will have additional safety rules specific to the facility and the level of training being conducted.
In order to maintain a safe learning environment for all students, the rules will be strictly enforced up to and including removal of problem students from the firing line or the facility itself.
Under the rules of the Texas Concealed Handgun License program, instructors are allowed to flunk CHL students if their gunhandling is unsafe. These rules also allow CHL instructors not only to flunk students with unsafe gun handling, but also to report them to DPS so that any future CHL application would be affected by the previous instructor's report.
Our training is open to any law abiding adult that can legally purchase firearms under local, state and federal law.
We do offer private training courses for minors, but they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Minors are welcome to attend any lecture or martial-arts oriented course, but minors are generally not allowed into adult shooting courses without pre-course evaluation by the course instructor.
Intermediate and advanced level courses have additional requirements, such as a valid Texas CHL and/or completion of specific courses.
Except in extreme situations, we hold classes rain or shine. If we reschedule a class due to weather or change in instructor availability, students that cannot attend the make-up date are given full refunds. Deposits and tuition payments are non-refundable, but in most cases we convert the student's payment to tuition credit that can be used for other classes. In some cases, such as NRA instructor training, deposits are used to purchase materials specific to that course. Once materials are purchased, they cannot be returned and converted back to tuition credit. The materials are kept by KR Training until the student can attend another session of the course for which the materials are required.
New for 2007: CHL deposits may be subject to a rescheduling fee of $25, if the student contacts KR Training less than 3 days prior to class day and requests to reschedule the course. CHL students that pay a deposit and "no-show" on class daywithout contacting KR Training forfeit the entire deposit. We suggest that students doing last minute rescheduling contact KR Training by phone at 512-633-8232 rather than email.
In our basic classes, we have a limited set of loaner guns available. To use our loaner guns, contact us prior to class day. Depending on instructor preference, students will either purchase ammunition from the instructor or be required to purchase appropriate ammunition prior to class day. Most of the ranges we use for classes are private facilities that do not engage in retail sales of guns and ammunition. Students should not assume that any materials needed for class can be purchased from us on class day at the range. Costs for loaner guns varies by class and instructor but is typically less than $20 per course.
We do have a supply of loaner holsters and spare magazines and speedloaders for many different makes and models of firearms. These can be loaned to students by prior arrangement as well. For some courses, such as the AT weekend, KR Training will offer special purchases of bulk ammunition, folding knives, flashlights and other equipment prior to class day. These are usually special orders, prepaid, at a fraction over dealer cost.
Students borrowing equipment are responsible for damage and/or loss of those items.
Most of our courses are held at private ranges in rural areas. Students are advised to always bring whatever food and drinks they might want on class day, including sufficient water to stay hydrated during the day. When possible we will provide water and cups as well as kitchen facilities.
Shooting is an outdoor activity. Appropriate clothing includes athletic shoes (no slick soled boots, dress shoes, or sandals), a cap or hat (to deflect spent brass), and seasonal items such as raingear, coats, sunscreen, sunglasses, and bug spray. It is always better to bring extra items you don't use than to need a raincoat (or bug spray) and not have it. Texas weather is unpredictable.
Please be on time. A common problem is that students underestimate driving times to the various facilities and arrive late. Allow an extra 5-10 minutes beyond your estimated travel time to the facilities. Instructors often arrive at the facilities 1-2 hours in advance of class time in order to set up the facility for the course. In order to give the instructors uninterrupted time to prepare, we typically open the range gates or classroom doors 15-30 minutes prior to class start time. Students arriving more than 30 minutes may be asked to wait until the instructors are ready to open the facility.
