Todd Stephenson, a Certified NRA Instructor with 35 years of firearms experience, will be holding a MINNESOTA AND IOWA Concealed Carry class on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at the Cresco Wildlife Club on the Howard County Fairgrounds in Cresco.  This class is one of the MOST COMPLETE Minnesota and Iowa concealed carry training programs offered.

Check in will begin at 8:30 AM, and class will begin promptly at 9:00 AM.  Class should conclude between 6:00 and 7:00 PM.  You must be 20 years of age or older the day of the class to receive a certificate (certificates may only be redeemed on or after your 21st birthday and are only valid for one year).  Students will be required to qualify using firearms and ammunition provided by the instructor.  Eye and hearing protection will also be provided.  There is NO written test.

The fee for this class is $125.00 – you may bring your driver's license and pre-register in person at Outdoors & More, Inc. in Cresco during normal business hours OR you may show up the day of class to register.   Advance reservations are suggested as seats are limited.  When your class fee is paid, you will be provided with a one-year Single membership to the Cresco Wildlife Club.  If you are already a member of the Wildlife Club, you will be provided with a one-year single membership extension.  Upgrades to FAMILY memberships are available for an additional $5.00.

Please call Todd Stephenson at (641) 257-9345 for more information or visit Outdoors & More at 115 3rd Ave. West (behind Billmyer Furniture) in Cresco to reserve your seat.  Walk-ins the day of class will be accepted if seats are available, but the class size is limited, so I encourage you to reserve your seat early.
