9. Pens

10. Clipboards

Patience.

Patience to help teach those who know too little.

Patience to help teach those who think they know too much.

26. Students

27. Instructor

Packets, some students won't bring one.
TR100's
Test
Release forms ( I make everyone sign one)
LOTS of White Out
Targets unless your range supplies them

Uber-velocity, ultra-magic personal protection bullets to sell at twice your cost.

More seriously: Range reservations, bottled water, first aid kit. Professional liability insurance?

More money. More time. More students.

A rib eye steak for class members is always a nice thing to do..

Agreed...Little old ladies, Mall Ninjas, and the retired, former OIC of the 4th Infanty Div. pistol team are among the most challenging students I've ever had. They can't hear you, don't understand you, and they all know more than you. Doesn't matter how many years you've been shooting competively or how many championships you might have...They still know more than you even thought they've never actually fired a shot before the class started. Yup...Patience is a virtue and I've have had to talk myself out of reciting the alternative version of the Serenity Prayer because it's wrong to seek the wisdom to hide bodies.

LOL, good list!

Qualification Targets is a good source for the B27 at a rate cheaper than anyone else I found.
My batch showed up 2 days ago, decent quality. (for something that is just going to get shot up anyway)
