| - Went The Range 702 because they offered a CCW class and others stated it was a good class with a nice reviews. I signed up online through the range 702 web site, it has a calendar of the classes offered and pay options as well. Descriptions was mostly accurate but was missing a couple of KEY Details, such as bring or wear a belt, holster recommended, and $10 range fee, cash; otherwise, everything else was okay, but the Class was way better than explained.
First off its taught by two excellent instructors, Sarge and Stephanie. They both take turns going over the formalities and lecture part of the class which makes it nice to have two different views, experiences, and options for understanding.
The class room is located inside The Range 702 and has a camera eye-in-the-sky so all personal belongings are safe as well as the door is constantly on lock during the short breaks. Since the Range is open to the public during the class, there are times when someone rents a Sub-Machine Gun and it can be heard even from the firing range, but its no big deal, just saying.
Since this is an 8 hour class, there is a lunch time break, but I advise on bringing some snacks, and water, or like I did, I packed two full lunches and drinks.
After lunch we headed out to the range where all safety hearing and eye protection must be worn. Once on the range we were guided and practiced various holster draws several times and magazine changing without ammo. Then instructed to load ammo, get targets (which are part of the course) and then we were off and shooting. Sarge gave very clear and easy instructions on when to shoot, holster and change magazines. Shooting was performed INSIDE the actual range and not behind the shooting counters. We were taught, shooting from the hip, strong arm shooting, and shooting while walking backwards from target while changing magazines!
It was certainly a great experience and more practical than just shooting from the counter. After we returned to class room and went over last information and completing the application for the CCW license.
I would certainly recommend this CCW course and visiting The Range 702. After class, I went back to the range to shoot. It takes a little time to get checked in and cleared to shoot on the range so be patient. Range fee is $20 if you go any time. The Range 702 also offers rental handguns and machine guns and purchasing of ammo. They are also a full dealer and sell many manufactures guns as well as accessories within the store.
Overall The Range 702 is good place in Las Vegas to shoot but again be patient as it can be busy from many tourists. The CCW class offered is certainly worth the money, time and experience. They also offer various other class so check there online schedule.
