For $60/per person, you’ll leave with a quart of your own flavorful farm made goods created with locally grown ingredients. You will also have the opportunity to purchase more Feathers & Fruit canned goods too!

2026-05-10 13:00 - 18:00 | Feathers & Fruit, 9320 Dallas Hollow Road, Soddy Daisy, TN, 37379, United States
We hear from folks time and again that “I have my permit”. Great! But the sad fact is a “Permit” doesn’t mean you know how to shoot. This class is designed for those who currently carry concealed, want to, or those who have never truly had professional training.
The AVERAGE gunfight in America is: less than 3 shots, at less than 3 yards, in less than 3 seconds. LESS THAN 9 FEET-AND ALL OVER IN UNDER 3 SECONDS!
This course starts with a classroom portion on firearm safety, legalities of deadly force and proper mindset. We review shooting fundamentals, loading / unloading / reloading and then move to the range. If you have never had professional pistol instruction before, this is the class to start with.
You will need to supply your own pistol (of any caliber; semi-autos preferred), a quality holster & 100 rounds of ammunition. If you don’t own a pistol or holster, arrangements can be made by contacting us prior to the class. Also bring a reusable water bottle. We can supply safety glasses & hearing protection.
Registration: $50 Non-Refundable Deposit. Remainder ($100) due upon arrival. No Checks.We shoot rain or shine.
Participation: Max 10
Additions: It being on actual Mother’s Day, we are looking at providing a brunch buffet with eggs, jams, etc. No booze though as that is not encouraged with responsible pistol use.
