  • What you are seeking for in an instructor may vary according to what training you may need or already have.
    • Are you looking to learn defensive shooting or sport shooting
    • If an instructors background is competition, you may find yourself being instructed in techniques and tactics which could be hazardous if used against targets which do shoot back. Competition training is usually oriented towards beating a clock.
    • Is the instructor set on a particular "method" of shooting and not willing to adapt to your attributes. Will you or are you expected to become his / her clone. On the other hand, you may be looking for someone to round out your skills with a specific method you have not yet mastered.
    • You may already be a skilled shooter. However, your skills may be sport based and require some adjustments.
    • How does the instructor and his / her staff conduct training? Do they behave like military Drill Sergeants? Some students do well under this systems, others do miserably?
    • What kind of facilities does the instructor have available? Are they adequate for his program of instruction? Are you being instructed in the basement of the instructors home? Is the class size over croweded?
    • Will the instructor testify for you in court? Does the instructor have credentials which will stand up in a court of law? Is the instructor certified or licensed to teach? Is the instructor trained, certified or licensed to teach law enforcement personnel? Is the training, certification or licensure recognized by the State of Michigan?
