Safety Requirements

Fortress requires you to bring the following with to all shooting courses:

Sturdy footwear with closed toe. No sandals, flip-flops or open toed footwear is allowed. You can expect to be on your feet on uneven ground. Hiking-type boots are highly recommended.
Long pants with strong belt loops. Jeans or BDU-type pants are preferred by the majority of our clients. They offer the best functionality and protection from the elements.
Long sleeve shirt with closed neck. Open-necked, v-neck or low cut shirts, especially for women, are prone for allowing hot brass to fall in them, causing severe burns. Short sleeves are allowed, but not recommended.
A brimmed hat, like a baseball-type cap, is mandatory for every student.
A covering concealment garment, like a vest, sports jacket, or light weight coat is required for all concealed carry pistol courses.
Leather belt, or nylon pistol belt which fits through the belt loops of the students pants. Fiber and light-weight dress belts are not designed to hold the weight of a pistol and holster and are unusable for our purposes.
Hearing protection in the form of foam ear plugs or full-ear-coverage muff-type. Many prefer some type of electronic hearing protection, and they are highly recommended.
Eye protection. Safety rated glasses are mandatory, and they must wrap around the side of the head to protect the entire eye socket.
Holster designed for your specific pistol and caliber.
