What if I don't have all the equipment?
What if my current setup is wrong?
If you don't have the necessary tools, we have all-day rental equipment available for far less than you'd pay at an indoor range for an hour.
​
If you have gear but don't know if it's the right stuff, bring it anyway- you need to use what you have until you can get what you want.

What if I'm not too good at shooting?
An on-boarding program is provided in order to invest the proper amount of time getting new shooters up to speed on firearms safety and handling. Many of our veteran members came to GOAT with little experience.
Is this only for men or can women train too?
Women are not only welcome, but highly encouraged to train alongside their male counterparts. Many training sessions see women outnumber the men on the range.Â
Does everyone lift the same weights?
 There is no requirement to match or surpass anyone else's efforts and every exercise can be scaled to accommodate any fitness level.
I have an old injury/limited mobility— can I still train?
I can't afford to get hurt.
We always recommend and often conduct a period of warm-up stretching and calisthenics in order to prepare athletes for the ShootEx.
Know your limits.
Do you still train if the weather is bad?
