Our courses are designed for beginner and intermediate handlers. Many people have fired a gun previously, but this is not required. Group courses may have up to 10 registered people.
Private CPL Course
Some people prefer to shoot without the distraction of other people or want more time with an instructor. A private CPL course is offered on request. A registered couple or family is allowed.
CPL Refresher Course
This is for people who already have a CPL and need to refresh for state requirements and/or their own practice. Michigan CPLs are good for 5 years. You MUST have 3 hours of refresher course material and a minimum of 1 hour range time prior to renewal.
