Shooters,



I apologize for the short notice but I have scheduled Sniper I (basic) for the week of March 25, 2013. I run the class through the local community college in order to keep the cost down and as always it is free for in-state law enforcement officers and $120 for out-of-state law enforcement officers (this is the college’s tuition cost). I attempt to keep the basic course at approximately 20-24 students and it usually fills up really quickly. If you are interested in attending please send me the names and agency and I will put them on a roster. Paul Buchanan is the contact person at Coastal Carolina Community College.

Attached is a basic course description. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at [email protected]
