Welcome to the Midwest Training Group home page!
Professional Firearms Instruction for Civilians and Law Enforcement
Do you own a gun, carry a handgun, think about handgun instruction or keep a gun for self-defense?
If so, firearms training
by qualified firearms instructors is the next
logical and responsible step.
Since 1994 Midwest Training Group has been dedicated to providing safe
and responsible firearms training. Handgun instruction, rifle
training, and shotgun training of the highest quality is offered to
both law enforcement and the private citizen. In response to the
continuing needs and requests of the serious combat shooter, programs
aside from firearms instruction were expanded outside the typical
shooting school norm to include peripheral weapons training and
instruction such as weapon retention, knife defense, and
Kubotan/Persuader classes.

At
the core of Midwest Training Group’s belief for firearms instruction is
that students should be exposed to a variety of firearms instructors,
firearms training doctrines, and shooting skill sets. Since its
inception MTG has played host to some of the nations most prestigious
self-defense and firearms instructors. We have been honored to provide
courses from Massad Ayoob, John Farnam, Jim Cirillo, Ken Hackathorn,
and Joe Truncale. Often, the availability of these noted firearms
instructors in the Midwest dictates whether or not a student might ever
have the opportunity to attend their classes and receive this high
quality firearms instruction. This is true from a financial as well as
a logistical viewpoint. MTG is proud to be the provider of such unique
and gifted gun experts and firearm/self-defense trainers. |
| The
composition of our firearms training classes spans all socio-economic
barriers, from patrol officers and law enforcement firearms instructors
to teachers, computer programmers to lawyers, CEOs to auto mechanics,
doctors to private investigators. Advanced shooters have
different objectives than the beginning and novice shooter. Some
require firearms instruction because their job dictates a higher
standard of care and increased proficiency; others opt for handgun
training to improve their shooting competition and the personal
satisfaction and achievement. Some have survived a lethal
encounter; others recognize that they may one day confronted with such
an event. All have legitimate and valid needs. In
recognizing these variables, every effort is made to offer firearms
training that will meet the particular needs of the individual.
Whatever your reason, whatever your skill level, MTG is here to assist
you in finding the appropriate training. |

We live and train by these basic guiding principles:
 |
If you own a firearm, whether for sport or defense, in the home or carrying daily, you owe it to society, yourself, and
your loved ones to handle them safely, be proficient in their use, and understand the law. |
|
Everyone is unique. There is no single "Right Way". We must find your way, the techniques and skills that work for
you, within the parameters of firearms safety and good sense. |
|
Train for the street. Train for life. Train like you mean it. You have probably heard it before: what you do in training
you will do on the street. |
|
These are perishable skills. Continue your training, practice regularly, and always evaluate what you have learned and
practiced. |
|
If you want to shoot fast and hit, there is no substitute for live-fire training. |
|
We are proud to have been a part of every students
firearms training. We are privileged that so many are now called "friend".
The
camaraderie amongst the MTG patrons never ceases to amaze us. We are complimented by the high percentage of
return students. We are honored that many of our patrons are highly respected
firearms instructors themselves. To all of you
who have been part of Midwest Training Group, we thank you. To the rest, we hope to see you soon.
To all, we are
here to serve.
- Bob Houzenga, MTG Director
