Clients must provide a minimum of 72 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a range session. If you cancel/reschedule within 72 hours you will receive a $50 credit toward your next range session.

Unfortunately this policy has become necessary to do recent cancellations and is put into effect as a courtesy to our range instructors, whose time is valuable.
