You can pick them up in-store or on our website here.
Reloading Zone Classes
Did you know that The Reloading Zone offers classes? They can teach you the fundamentals of pistol, rifle and precision rifle reloading in the classes they teach each month. You’ll learn the basics of reloading ammunition from cleaning and preparing the casings to actually loading rounds! Check out the training calendar here for all the details and to register.
Tactical Pistol Training
Our regular Tactical Sustainment Pistol sessions are moving back to midday Thursdays, and Lunchtime Locked and Loaded is back! If you know, you know….. and if you don’t but you’re interested in taking your pistol training to the next level, definitely check out these sessions.
Be sure to check our Training Calendar for all the details on the time and session structure updates.
Here some general info on these sessions: Want to practice the skills you learned in our Tactical Pistol classes? Come work with our instructors and learn new drills! During each sustainment session, the instructors run various downrange drills that reinforce specific skills taught in Bristlecone’s Tactical Pistol classes.
