A small, relaxed range session with Will, Dan, and Dr. K after Saturday's CPL class.
You do not need to own a firearm. The cost covers your gun rental and the lane fee. Ammo is sold separately at the counter.
This is a smaller group than a class, so you get more range time and a lot more personal attention. Good for a first time shooter, and good for anyone who wants reps without signing up for a full course.
We have many different pistols to try, and you are welcome to drop in and stay as long as you would like during the open shoot time.

US Gun Classes
Attending the full day CPL class at US Gun Classes was an exceptional experience for both myself and my girlfriend. As someone with limited firearm experience, my nerves were gradually put at ease throughout the entire session. The one-on-one training provided was invaluable, I felt really comfortable handling a real firearm for the first time. The pace of the class was perfect, and the instructors, Will and Dan, were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. The full range experience was a highlight, allowing us to try out various pistols and unique firearms to find the perfect firearm that met our needs and comfort. I left the class feeling more confident and with a clear idea of what I want for my first gun purchase. I highly recommend this class to anyone in Michigan, regardless of experience level!
Great course. My father and I took the course yesterday with Will Luker. It was very comprehensive. We are both veterans and have had a fair amount of experience with firearms but we still learned alot about concealed carry, use of force laws, and defensive pistol marksmanship. Will was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The 8 hour course flew by and we had a great time at the range. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in obtaining a CPL.
All around amazing class. It was long, but worth the time. I went in barely knowing anything about the laws, our rights, and guns - but left with so much information (even finding out what gun felt the most comfortable to use with my little hands). Doctor K, Will, and Dan made sure they took the time to answer any questions, give you different scenarios, and the Range Experience was a super cool thing to be able to utilize. They made sure I left feeling comfortable and knew what to do.
