Basic Handgun
- Novice, Beginners and "Frustrated" Shooters
Firearms instruction,
responsibility, and safety training, is a unique program, developed by Midwest Tactical Training. This
program is designed as a firearms orientation class for any and all gun owners, new and beginning shooters and those who are
looking to improve their shooting skills.
This is a 4-hour class. During this class, you will learn all the basics, from firearm safety to the parts of
a pistol, how they operate, muscle memory, sympathetic muscle reflex, eye dominance, and many other aspects of handgun shooting.
There is no shooting range time during this class, as the focus is on the skills required to fit, own and “run”
a pistol.
Classes are held on Thursday evenings, once monthly.
Please contact Larry Jackson (616)299-8715,
regarding dates and times.

Refuse to Be A Victim® was developed in 1993 in response to requests from women nationwide
for crime prevention seminars. In 1997 the program became co-ed. With over 1,500 instructors nationwide, seminars have been
presented in 48 states, the District of Columbia, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela. More than 36,000 women and men have
benefited from the program's life-saving message.
Refuse To Be A Victim® seminars promote awareness and prevention
of criminal confrontation. Seminar topics include: home, automobile, phone, technological, travel, and personal security.
Seminar participants are presented with a variety of common-sense crime prevention and personal safety strategies and devices
they may integrate into their daily lives.
This confidential class teaches easy-to-understand tactics you can use
to prevent criminal confrontation. In just three hours, you will get the tools you need to develop your own personal safety
strategy, including information about: The Psychology of the Criminal MindHome & Phone SecurityAutomobile & Travel

These classes are the next logical step for the concealed carry
student who wishes to hone the skills he was taught in the basic class. Both these classes will build confidence and will
prepare you for more advanced classes with Massad Ayoob's Lethal Force Institute, Front Sight Firearms Institute or
any of the other big-name self-defense schools.
Beyond Basic CPL "Tactical Marksmanship" - This is an 8-hour class
designed to teach you the basics of shooting while under stress. We'll cover proper stances, point shooting, sight shooting,
drawing from concealment, and tactical reloads. We'll finish out the class with a police style qualification course shooting
from 7, 10, and 15 yards at IPSC silhouettes. This class is designed to tighten your group and help you develop the marksmanship
skills necessary to take our "Move, Shoot, and Live" class.
Beyond Basic CPL "Move,
Shoot and Live" - This is an 8-hour class designed to teach you the tactical skills to safely move while shooting
during a firefight. In this class, we focus on "Move, Shoot, and Live" tactics.
This is a 1-day class composed of 3 hours class time and 5 hours range time. We take breaks from practicing more advanced
shooting tactics to view excerpts from video tapes and to simulate likely self-defense scenarios. You will be shooting a combat
course, learning weapons retention and disarmament tactics, some hand-to-hand combat, shooting at moving targets, advanced
use of cover, simulating an attack using airsoft pistols, penetration testing with your own self-defense rounds, and shooting
in low-light conditions.

Excerpt from Skip Coryell's book "Blood in the Streets":
“I
can teach you that the three main parts of a pistol are the frame, the barrel and the action. I can teach you that the parts
of a pistol cartridge are the projectile, the casing, the propellant, and the primer. But none of those things will keep you
alive in a gunfight or keep you out of the court system. So today I’m going to focus on teaching you how to stay alive
and how to stay out of jail.”
