It is rare for the Brave Lizard Tactical team to reschedule an event due to weather conditions. Brave Lizard Tactical Instructors and RSOs will shoot and operate in all weather conditions except when the weather represents a safety hazard (e.g., lightning, excessively high winds, extreme cold, extreme heat). When Brave Lizard Tactical Instructors have judged that the weather will represent a safety hazard, you will receive an email communication a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours in advance, relaying that data, including reschedules. You are responsible for monitoring your email address for possible weather-related communication, including event schedule changes.
The weather conditions at the Range are out of Brave Lizard Tactical's control and your control. Being prepared to operate in all weather conditions gives you an advantage over a threat actor who is not trained to operate in similar conditions. However, when you believe the weather conditions present an undue hardship, extremely unpleasant experience, or safety hazard for your abilities, please email events@bravelizard.com expressing that sentiment, and a Brave Lizard Tactical teammate will assist.
