Price: $40. $35 will go to the Range and $5 (suggested donation – in cash, please) goes to WSSL to offset other costs (rental of our locker, additional ammo, excursions, Web hosting, etc.). You can pay the range after the event: cash, check or charge. This fee includes classroom safety instruction, private instruction on the firing line, rental of a .22 rifle, ONE box of ammo for new shooters (additional ammo is available from WSSL at $8.00/box while supplies last) and eye/ear protection.

Please feel free to bring friends. (Remind them to register in advance – see below.) All levels are welcome (never shot, beginners, intermediate, advanced).

Time: 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM.

NOTE – Instructors: Please arrive by 5:45 PM.

The Range requires that new students, and returnees who are NOT Westside members, get a new background check if their current one is more than 4 months old. THE RANGE'S PROCEDURE FOR CONDUCTING THE BACKGROUND CHECK HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.

REGISTRATION CAN NO LONGER BE COMPLETED ON-LINE. INSTEAD, NEW STUDENTS, AND RETURNEES WHO ARE NOT WESTSIDE MEMBERS AND HAVE BACKGROUND CHECKS THAT ARE MORE THEN 4 MONTHS OLD, MUST CALL THE RANGE AT (212)929-7287 AT LEAST 5 DAYS BEFORE THE WSSL EVENT AND SPEAK TO A WESTSIDE STAFF MEMBER. MENTION THAT THE CALLER IS REGISTERING FOR THE NEXT WSSL EVENT AND NEEDS A BACKGROUND CHECK. THE WESTSIDE STAFF MEMBER WILL ASK FOR THE REQUIRED INFORMATION, OR MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SPEAK TO THE CALLER IN ORDER TO GATHER IT.

THE STUDENT WILL NOT RECEIVE A TRANSACTION ID WHEN THEIR BACKFROUND CHECK IS COMPLETED. THEY CAN ASSUME THAT THEY HAVE PASSED THE BACKGROUND CHECK UNLESS A WESTSIDE STAFF MEMBER CONTACTS THEM TO DISCUSS ANY IRREGULARITIES IN THEIR INFORMATION.

AT LEAST 3 DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT ALL STUDENTS MUST NOTIFY THE RANGE (BY CALLING (212)929-7287) AND WSSL (BY E-MAILING A BRIEF NOTE TO rsvp@nycwssl.org) SO THAT WE KNOW THE STUDENT INTENDS TO PARTICIPATE. WE WILL BE SHARING THE RANGE AND SPACE MAY BE LIMITED, SO AN ACCURATE COUNT OF STUDENTS IS ESSENTIAL.

• If you find that you can't attend please e-mail WSSL at rsvp@nycwssl.org so we will have an accurate headcount for the Range. Let us know if you would like to be added to our e-mail list to be alerted about future events.
• If you have to cancel at the last minute please call the Range at (212)929-7287.
