Great class! Highly recommend it regardless of where you're skills are. My wife & I did the Pistol 1 Self-defense class. Mike did a great job of fitting lots of information in, keeping it from being boring & teaching the fundamentals for everyone in the class. He met everyone at their skill level. I like how he operates with a small class so that he can spend time individually with everyone. Mike & Karen have a great thing going here. Lots of classes they offer & sustainable living advice.

Mike's Defensive Pistol Class was instrumental in helping me develop both speed and accuracy. As a newcomer to CCW, I really appreciated the curriculum and Mike's personalized instruction. I appreciated his focus on improving my draw from the "appendix inside the waistband" (AIWB). Mike took the time to identify and correct mistakes with the arms/grip as well as emphasizing economy of motion. This included minimizing extraneous movement, keeping my body aligned properly, and developing fluid transitions between each step of the draw. I could immediately feel the difference in terms of speed and consistency. Most importantly, I left Mike's class with specific training drills/techniques/principles that I can practice at home during dry fire and at the range. I look forward to attending future courses. Thank You, Chris M.

Mike's Enhanced Concealed Carry class is absolutely worth going through if you plan on carrying. Regardless of class size, Mike makes the effort to ensure that you are learning the information and skills you need to know. His instructing abilities are premium quality and I highly recommend not just the Concealed Carry class, but any of the courses at Independence Firearms and Training.

Mike is an excellent instructor! Independence Firearms and Training can’t be beat for your concealed carry needs.

I’ve been going for about a year to compete in USPSA & the Monthly Drills Nights. Recently I’ve taken the Lvl.1 Pistol class and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. Mike is an outstanding instructor. The majority of the class is spent on the laser range indoors with but if live fire outdoors. Most of my improvements came from the indoor portion as I was able to get the time of my draw down from around 2 seconds to a blazing 1.4 seconds! If your a new shooter, someone whose shot their whole life like me or anywhere in between and just wanna get better come see Mike and get you some instruction. YOU WONT REGRET IT !

The renewal class was professional in a comfortable environment and very personable at the same time. Would recommend to family members and Friends.

A great shooting range. Mike is a wonderful trainer. His wife Karen is a great shooter. They are very friendly and helpful. Have been to the range twice and have learned so much.

Great place for everyone…from beginners up to highly trained. Mike and Karen are top notch, and have the nicest range anywhere around. Mike’s instruction will leave you with more confidence, better skills and better body form. Safety comes first and they leave nothing to chance. Fantastic place to have a birthday party with their laser range. Independence County is blessed to have them! Fun fun fun!
