PREGNANT and NURSING WOMEN should NOT take this class and should avoid noise and lead exposure as well as chemical exposure from gun cleaning chemicals.

STUDENTS WHO MUST CANCEL are asked to NOTIFY us ASAP at pistolclass@northsidesportsmen.com, so that a person on the waiting list can be assigned.
