A Club-level Holster Training Course will be held on Sunday, August 31, 2025. Start time will be 8:30 AM sharp. There are only 15 spots available. There will be two portions to this course, if needed.
The first session will certify members to carry a holstered, unloaded handgun while changing targets during bullseye style shooting. No ammunition is required for this portion.
The second portion will introduce you to the skills and techniques required to safely use a holster at our club while participating in CHC Club Level action shooting events and practices (not sanctioned events, where a formal accreditation is required).
There is no cost for the course itself.
ELIGIBILITY You must be a CHC member in good standing and have successfully completed the Club’s new member training program. Select the mandatory equipment check ticket for us to verify your training status and equipment. If you are known to the trainers, this likely can be done by e-mail. We will upgrade your ticket after we verify your status.
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS:
Carry only Session:
· Any handgun of any caliber.
· A belt-mounted hip holster that holds the handgun snugly and covers the trigger

MANDATORY Equipment and Training Pre-check: If you are unsure if your equipment is suitable, at least two Safety Instructors will be available at the Club on Thursday the 28th, or any other day by appointment, prior to the course, between 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM to inspect and give tips and advice. You must advise them in advance if you need an equipment check by selecting an equipment check ticket from this event or registering for a practice here or by making an appointment with an instructor here. As noted above, if you are known to the instructors, this can likely be done by e-mail.
Rentals: As some members are unable to acquire a handgun, but are eligible to borrow a handgun, Arcane Defense will be supporting this holster course with equipment rentals. Cost would be $40 for the day. Please contact Eric Bouffard of Arcane Defense to arrange a rental. Ammunition will also be available. Please contact Eric to arrange to purchase ammunition
