Well, I think I'm signed up. That's is one of the more convoluted sign-up procedures I've ever done. I hope it worked.

After much thought...I'm IN

I sent an email to customer support asking a few questions about the billing balance a week ago and no response yet

but then I read the terms and conditions

Seems to answer some of my questions well enough

Let me know specifically what you need. I am gonna give them a call next week. They are all just getting back from Shot show so i want to give them a few days to recuperate.

It was just a situation of how and when the balance was to be paid if you paid the $90 deposit. The terms and conditions stated that it needs to be paid in full 2 weeks before the class.

I just didn't want a situation where I paid the deposit by credit card then without warning was charged the balance on the same card, I was hoping to do it by an alternate method.

Sounds like I just have to call them or mail them the remainder sometime before 2 weeks prior to the class. So I think I'm good, thanks for the offer

In case anybody was wondering:

Heard back from them. Email said 10 days before first day of class and you can make payments in any amount toward your balance up to the deadline

thats looks like a really nice class, I dont agree with the face the ASC charges 10 bucks per day if you are not a member. As if they are not getting enough money out of the deal. But hey I guess everyone has to make money.

That's hella cheap. Other ranges charge $25 extra per day if your not a member to attend a class. Seems fair

The $10 per day fee is the same $10 fee the club charges for all public events. The $450 course fee includes the cost of the 600 yard range rental as well. Nobody is getting rich off of this deal.

Dude, Are you back??? Yeah, we need an RSO and I will be paying for the RSO. If you want to volunteer for this, that would be awesome. We would have to work it out with Doc, but I dont think there will be any issues there.
