July Updates

E-mail Print PDF

A few quick updates...

  • This Saturday's July 10 MN/FL Carry Permit class is canceled.
  • The August 14 class in Rolling Stone is filling up fast!  Send in your payment now if this date and location works for you.

 

Regarding pre-registration, walk-ins and refunds...

The original plan was to allow walk-ins for the classes offered at the La Crosse Rifle Club.  Due to low turn out and having to pay rent on a building that might end up being empty, I'm forced to require pre-registration for all future classes.  Additionally, I have upped the minimum number of students from three to four.  So, if you sign up for a class and only one other person signs up, the class will probably be canceled and you'll get the option of a full refund or the opportunity to apply it to another class date.  Refunds are only available when classes are canceled by Midwest Marksman, Inc.

 

Schedule your own...

Need a class that fits your schedule?  We're open to working with you!  All you need to do is act as the coordinator and bring four full-paying students (minimum).  We'll work with you on setting up a date and location and then you'll get the class for free!

Intro to USPSA

E-mail Print PDF

We'll be having another Intro to USPSA class next Tuesday, June 29 (classroom) and Thursday, July 1 (live fire).  Cost is $50 per session ($100 for both nights) and includes all range fees.

Tuesday's session is from 6pm-9pm in downtown La Crosse and will consist of classroom time to talk about USPSA divisions, scoring, equipment and safety requirements.

Thursday's session is from 5:30-9:30pm at the Holmen Rod & Gun Club where you'll be live firing through and actual course of fire.  Additionally, during the live fire session we'll go over some of the advanced shooting techniques of USPSA with a grip and stance review and how to analyze a course to shoot it more efficiently.

Space is limited, so advanced registration is required.

Sunday June 6th - Defensive Handgun 1

There is still plenty of room available in this class.  This class is ideal for the person that has basic handgun safety and has done some informal shooting.  Everything in this class is done from a holster, so if you've never used one before this is the place to learn how!

We will also cover: grip & stance, site picture, shooting on the move, reloading techniques and cover vs concealment and how to shoot from them.

Normal price for this course is $135.  Members of WisconsinCarry.org only pay $100!

New Dates Added


Two evening sessions have been added to the calendar:

Tuesday, June 29 - 6pm-9pm - Intro to USPSA (classroom)

Thursday, July 1 - 5:30-8:30pm - Intro to USPSA (live fire)

[The Calendar page will be updated soon with payment options]

 

We will be adding a MN/FL Carry Permit class date soon - to be held in Rolling Stone, MN.  To be notified when the date is set, subscribe to the e-mail list.

Rolling Stone, MN 8/14

E-mail Print PDF

An additional MN/FL Carry Permit class date has just been added to the calendar!  This class will take place in Rolling Stone, MN on August 14, 2010.  The website has been updated for registration and payment options if you'd like to sign up for this class.

As a reminder, classes can be held almost anywhere as long as there are a minimum of 4 students.  If you are interested in hosting a class, please contact us for more details and scheduling options.

One final note...  We just had our 2nd Defensive Handgun 1 class this past Sunday.  There currently aren't any more scheduled for this year, but we're thinking of adding one on Sunday, September 12 and offering a slight discount for taking both the MN/FL Carry Permit class on Sep 11 and the Defensive Handgun class on Sep 12.  Please let us know if that is something that might interest you and if there is sufficient interest, we'll get it on the calendar.

On the Competitive Scene

I competed in my first national level event this past weekend in Barry, IL at PASA Park. The USPSA Single Stack Nationals (or http://www.1911ssc.org/), was quite a match and a great learning experience. I placed 94th overall out of 270+ competitors. It was a very tough match, with a lot of tight shots. It was a true test of pure shooting ability and focus. Next year is the 100 year anniversary of the 1911 design, so I'm especially looking forward to competing again next year!
