The fitness requirements is not there to disqualify you from the course.
There are no fitness qualification requirements to enroll on Lone Operator other than functional fitness.
Sadly, however, the fact of the matter is that you will not be able to defend yourself successfully if you are not functionally fit.
This means you need to be able to drag yourself or your partner out of harm’s way, need to be able to go down prone, roll, get up on the knees etc.
The fitness on Lone Operator is to first create a benchmark for you and then cultivate a fitness mindset.
Once on the course, everyone quickly realises where their fitness levels are lacking and then start working on getting fitter.
You are however competing against yourself for the betterment of yourself and not against the other participants or to stay on the course.
You need at least your own licensed handgun, 3 x mags and proper holsters with good retention for both gun and mags. You will also need a good quality belt to ensure your gun sits sturdy on your person. Proper range attire, hardworking clothes and closed shoes. Proper ear and eye protection. You cannot shoot with your normal reading or sun glasses. You need ballistic protection. Sunblock, hat and your own chair. And also your own food and drinks for a long day. Watch the video below.
The course will cost you R1100 pm over 12 months (R500 Deposit Secures Your Spot). Included in this fee is the main session’s range fee.
Included in this fee are the following
1. Range fees for the Lone Operator program (1 session per month)
2. Access our online portal with videos and notes on lessons
3. Lone Operator Cap
4. Free access to some of Fortis’ online courses
5. Discount on Fortis Stand Alone courses (where applicable)
Excluded from this fee are the following
1. Travelling to and from venues used for training
2. Ammunition needed for training
3. Range fees for courses outside the normal program
4. Any kit needed over and above what you currently have
5. Food and drinks
You will be informed on your team WhatsApp group what is needed for each session, including attire. Range clothes will be pants, a shirt, and closed shoes. Remember we are shooting from all positions so your clothes must be able to handle dirt and wear and tear. A hat and personal protection for ears and eyes are compulsory. For best pricing speak to CHS Guns for kit and equipment and ask for your Lone Operator discount. (note: they don’t offer discount on all products). Sunblock can help.
Included in your monthly payment is your main session’s range fee. Any other sessions you attend you will need to pay the range fee on the day in cash.
You must supply your own ammo. Once again, contact CHS Guns in this regard – https://chsguns.co.za/contact-us/
You can work on 100 rounds per session – sometimes 150 sometimes 50 – average it out on 100 rounds per session
We will mainly be using Somerset West Pistol Club https://maps.app.goo.gl/zV2BpUNbn2QSp7L29 . But be willing to travel in case we need to move a session to another range.
The program runs over a 12-month period – with 1 session on a Saturday, per month as the base.
The first 11 sessions are just 1 day (set aside the whole day for them) and 1 module is a night shoot.
The 12th session is a day/night session and culminates the course.
You can catch up on a session with another group IF there is another group nearby that does the same session. You can also catch up sessions in Gauteng if and when you visit.
Payment is made on a monthly basis irrespective of whether you miss the session or not, payment is due, and you will then have to catch up on missed sessions with other groups as stated above.
In Cape Town, the possibility of catch-up sessions is very rare. And if available, we will have to charge for that session in full. The reason why we can keep the program cost-effective is all about the numbers. The range and instructor are booked 12 months in advance, so if we have to book the instructor for any other dates, it will depend on availability as well as the instructor’s daily fee. Dates are set 12 months in advance, so please book accordingly. Missing a session will not disqualify you from the course, but may mean you will have to wait another year for catch-ups when we run a new group.
