If by the registration close date, the series does not have six registered candidates per course, the series will be rescheduled to a later date, and no deposits will be collected. Other candidates can sign up for classes without signing up for the full series, but those candidates will be charged the NRA website price for each of those specific classes, and they will be charged the NRA website deposit for each specific class; those deposits will be subject to the same refund restrictions of the rest of the series. Regardless of how many candidates sign up for individual courses, HPCC will need a minimum of six candidates for each course in a series to put the series on, with some exceptions. Contact us for exceptions. 575-985-5555.
When each series has six registered candidates, the deposit for each series will be due. The deposit will be $400.00 per candidate for the Pistol courses and $600.00 for the Rifle courses and will only be refundable if the series is cancelled by HPCC due to extreme circumstances, or other reasons the HPCC training team deems the classes should be cancelled. The remaining balance will be collected on the morning of the first day of each series. Refunds are not offered to no-shows.
NRA student materials are included with the fee for courses and will be provided to each candidate.

Any candidate requiring additional range time, or range days to shoot the NRA required qualification will be responsible for paying any additional range fees and will be required to provide any additional ammunition needed to qualify.
Candidates should bring a .22 rifle and sufficient ammunition to fire the required qualification for the rifle series of courses.

Pistol Instructor candidates, among other requirements, will need to be able to shoot a twenty shot, slow fire, six-inch group at fifteen yards, standing, unsupported, with open or iron sights, no optics, using as many hands as you would like.
Rifle Instructor candidates, among other requirements, will need to be able to shoot a ten shot, slow fire, four and a half-inch group at twenty-five yards, in bench rest, in prone and in standing unsupported, with open or iron sights, no optics, using as many hands as you would like, for a total of 30 rounds.
Other requirements are things like demonstrating impeccable firearm safety standards while handling firearms and simulators. Each course also has a written evaluation.
We will bring loaner .22 pistols and loaner .22 rifles that are very conducive to this style of qualification. You provide the ammo.
Candidates are urged to bring lunch, drinks, snacks and a cooler each day. Lunch each day will be a working lunch to maximize class time productivity.
