I used to teach both rifle/pistol and concealed carry, pretty much retired these days. If you are serious about learning properly get in touch with the USCCA (https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/) to pair you up with an instructor that knows what they are doing. Since you are in Jefferson county, I would highly recommend Fletcher Arms (https://fletcherarms.com/) at their new store in Pewaukee. Great facility, great people and some really good instructors who are both NRA and USCCA certified. They are located at 1228 Hickory Street in Pewaukee. The address is the back of the store, the front and entrance is on Watertown road. Phone number is 262-549-4488.
I really appreciate the specific recommendation...Fletcher Arms looks great, and having both NRA and USCCA certified instructors is exactly what I'm after. I'll give them a call, thanks for the detailed info and contact details
Thanks for the voucher on Fletcher Arms, two recommendations seals it. The USPSA/IDPA match idea is smart too, never thought about learning in that environment
Where in the state are you located?
As probably everyone knows by now I am located in the Madison area. As for training in Wisconsin, a much overlooked training venue is the Boy Scouts. You have to join and take their basic training for adults and will have to pass a background check. They offer instructor training for BSA members however expect to teach the fundamentals of both rifle and pistol to the boy/girl scouts. Self defense look at Fletcher Arms in Pewaukee. Great people teach both NRA and USCCA self defense courses. Top Notch training for sure.
