If you’re new to firearms, please complete basic handgun training before attending this LTC class.

• Handgun of your choice (must arrive in a bag or case). Rentals available at no charge (ammo is extra fee)
• Ammunition: 50 rounds (available for purchase if needed)
• Eye & Ear Protection (loaners available but always better to have your own safety equipment)
• Closed-toe shoes required (no sandals or flip-flops)
• Snacks & Beverages (working lunch – bring your own)
• First time at Shady Oaks?
  Bring completed: Questionnaire, Range Rules, and Insurance Waiver – or arrive complete on-site

🎯 Range Qualification

We follow the official Texas DPS course of fire.

• While 9mm is the most common caliber, .22LR is also acceptable
• Red dots allowed; no magnified optics per DPS rules
• One magazine is enough, but two is better (not required)
• Speedloaders are permitted
• Use the largest pistol you shoot comfortably (or .22LR) for better accuracy and reduced felt-recoil
• If you are a novice shooter, please do NOT bring a compact or subcompact handgun unless you are very accurate with it.

📄 Certificate of Training

After completing the LTC class, you’ll receive a certificate valid for 2 years. It is your responsibility to submit it to TXDPS as part of your LTC application.
