What is the name of your company? Practical Firearms Training

Do you have a website?  michigancplclass.com,  the site is incompete and in the process of being upgraded now.

Where are you located? We use a private range in Brighton for the majority of our classes.  Brighton is about half way between Detroit and Lansing on I96.

Course descriptions?  The NRA courses follow the specified criteria stated by the NRA.  We will be posting the course descriptions for our pistol and carbines classes by the end of the week.  

Cost?
NRA courses are $100 per student.  Our non NRA courses are $225 per student.  Students will be getting their moneys worth with the level of instruction provided, we feel it is very important to have a low student to instructor ratio.
