Emily works by appointment only. 

Typically permit courses are on Saturdays or Sundays. Private lessons are available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays - dependent on range location. Click on Firearms Courses to find out more. 

A working handgun, 50 rounds of ammunition, pen, paper, and lunch/snacks is ideal for carry permit courses. Private lessons need a working handgun and ammunition. 

Handguns, eye protection, and ear protection are available for use free of charge.  Ammo is available for sale (some calibers may bout of stock)

 Courses will continue as planned unless the facility closes. Emily will reach out to any registered students to inform of any changes. 

Windrock Shooting Range follows the Windrock Park in determining if closure is required. Outdoor range qualification is with overhead cover so most times weather is not an issue unless it causes flooding or icing of the main roads.

No manadate in Anderson County means Windrock Range is mask-free. You are welcome to wear a mask if you choose. 

All hard surfaces are sanitized prior to and immediately after courses. Social distancing 6 feet or more may not be possible at all times throughout instruction. Emily will communicate to you if and when she may need to get closer to you - most often this is on the firing line only.
