About Us
Instructors at Midwest Marksman are deeply committed to providing high quality firearms training. We are able to accomplish this as a result of our own in-depth shooting and competition experience as well as a long history of instruction. Each of our classes is directed toward training new shooters in the safe use of firearms, whether that be for defense, competition, or target shooting just for fun.
