WEAPONS
We strongly recommend that you participate with your own weapon , as the course will be invaluable in improving your feel for it.
If for any reason you need to borrow a gun, let us know, and we'll arrange for it to be provided to you free of charge. Temporary loan is legal in Italy.
This service must be booked by adding the request in the “ Order Notes ” field when registering.
ATTENTION – WE DO NOT RENT WEAPONS!!
AMMUNITION
Bring the necessary ammunition with you (we recommend carrying the maximum amount allowed by law). You can also use reloaded ammunition at the shooting range.
The law allows you to purchase ammunition at a gun shop, even in a caliber suitable for weapons you don't own (and you can't report it if you use it up within 72 hours). So, if you need to borrow a gun, you can safely show up with just the ammunition you need for the course . In this case, the caliber you need is 9x19 (PISTOL courses) and .223 (RIFLE courses).
ATTENTION - WE DO NOT SELL AMMUNITION. !!
