Tuition Deposit Policy

We typically fill our classes and turn students away as the class date nears. Be sure you can attend the class date for which you sign up. Should you become unable to attend a class, you can use your deposit for another class offered within one year of the original class date provided you give at least 72 hour notice to us. We will subtract any upfront costs we incur such as class materials from the deposit. Cancellations shorter than 72 hours and no shows forfeit their deposit. Thank you. NO REFUNDS.



Home-built Gun Policy

We do not allow the use of 80% home built firearms in our classes such as “Polymer 80” pistols and “80” lower” rifles or pistols. A general rule of thumb: if it does not have a serial number, do not bring it.

These guns have proven to be unreliable in class.

If you bring one to class, and do not have a back-up, or there is not a rental gun available, you will need to leave the class. No refund is given. Thank you for your cooperation.



Rental Equipment Policy

FIREARM RENTALS
You can rent firearms for your desired class including pistols, rifles, and more. Ask in advanced please.

AMMO PURCHASE
When renting weapons, ammo must be purchased from Cajun to ensure only quality ammo goes through our guns.
