Saratoga, Wyoming–(Studentofthegun.com)- On September 1st, Student of the Gun temporarily closed enrollment to the SOTG Grad Program. For the time being, no new members will be able to enter the exclusive subscriber side of Student of the Gun.

“We needed to close enrollment, at least for the time being, to give our existing members an opportunity to begin using the brand new platform.” said Jarrad Markel, COO of Student the Gun Media.  Markel continued, “The new platform contains features that we have not been able to offer to our members until now. This will be a true community experience for extended family. Not only will they have access to video, audio, and written material, they will also be able to interact with like-minded individuals, all through the Student of the Gun site.”

“Our Grad Program members have become a big family.” Paul Markel, founder and host of Student of the Gun added, “These folks have an investment in what we do and we are doing our best to make the experience a valuable one.”

We will travel throughout the United States seeking the advice and expertise of the best firearms trainers available.
