FAQs

Concealed Carry Classes

Do you offer the south Dakota enhanced concealed carry Recertification class?

Yes, We do! when signing up for the class you should be prompted to fill out the information that is required at the bottom of that form you should have the option to state whether or not you need a recertification or a full class. If you miss that step simply reach out to our instructors either by email or by phone and we will gladly correct it!

Do You Allow Revolvers in your class?

We do with one exception depending on class size. Our South Dakota Enhanced class/ course does not allow revolvers into the class unless it is a single-person/same-group class. This rule is in place for time management as we have found throughout the years that revolvers (especially if not maintenance) drop off around the 50-round mark of our range portion for that class. Typically, these firearms need to be heavily serviced to get back into the range portion. We would be more than happy to work with you in making sure you can complete the class.
