Hey guys - fresh face here from Wisconsin. I'd like to go in for some training somewhere and I have no idea where there are places around. I'm up in Appleton if that helps.
Looking for pistol / rifle training, ideally tactical stuff. |

I am in Appleton, too, but born and raise in Kilwaukee. There was a time long ago, that you would see a lot of reputable firearms trainers coming to WI, but nowadays it seems the industry has given WI the middle finger. Surprisingly, commie IL seems to get more and better business than WI. Sometimes, major trainers like Larry Vickers, Mike Pannone, Pat McNamara, Kyle Defoor, etc. make guest appearances in WI, but that isn't too common.
The Fox Valley Technical College Public Safety Training Center (Appleton area) offers some decent (and affordable) firearms training course geared towards civilians. Performance on Demand (POD) is also a good recommendation. There is also In Extremis out of Black River Falls, but I don't know if they are even still operational; haven't heard much about them in a while. A friend of mine runs Lightning Tactical LLC (www.lightningtac.com) and offers very good training at very good rates. My wife has taken training from Lightning Tactical LLC and was happy with it. I would also keep an eye out for Spartan Tactical Training Group; they are out of IL but come to WI frequently. I have taken numerous courses with them and I have been very happy with the product John Krupa and his staff put out. |
