October 7, 2010

HOWSN Members and Readers:

Midwest Tactical has made available an opportunity for a safe weapons and development of firearms proficiency training for church safety and security teams.  This course is taught by NRA trained and certified personnel / people who are a part of a church security team.

This is a basic session to review firearm safety rules, live fire practice and an opportunity to interact and build relationships with other church security and safety team members.  You do not have to come to this outing to be involved with the firearms aspect; you may wish to attend just to meet others and ask questions.

This is a basic training, not advanced.  Training with this group leads to an opportunity to move into more training opportunities (including advanced firearms skills and proficiencies).  If interest is high, more classes for basic and advanced training will be offered.

Here are the particulars:

Cost:  $10 – includes range time and instruction, possibly a light snack

Date / Time:  October 30, 2010, from 1 PM to 3 PM

Where:  7741 Bowens Mill Road, Middleville, MI 49333
