One of the disadvantages of living in the Socialist hell, I like to call my home state of is a lack of places to shoot. Although there has been an increase in the amount of indoor pistol ranges in the area, practice is often limited to little more than burning through ammunition. Shooting a rifle can make you feel like an oppressed minority. Evil black rifles are look at with fear and suspicion and God for bid you attempt a tactical reload. I am a proud member of a semi private range in Wisconsin. But even there you are limited to slow fire. I understand the need for safety as well as the desire to prevent shots over the berm that could draw the ire of the neighbors.

So it was with glee and excitement that I signed up for a basic defensive rifle course offered by Milwaukee Community Outreach Partners or COP. Besides being able to drag out all of the gear I've been accumulating over the years. I was finally going to be able to get some real practice. And real practice it was. A nine hour romp the sun, with 12 more evil people doing damage on paper targets. Although the range facilities could be best described as spartan, the instructors were polite, safety orientated and very professional. Instructions and requirements for the class were very well-documented, Kevin Eyre the lead instructor did a excellent job of balancing the needs of novices and more advanced shooters to the course. The price was very reasonable considering the amount of experience of the instructors. And both were very approachable with questions about different training methods. I look forward to taking the advanced course offered by this group. But given my upcoming schedule for the remaining months I fear I may have to wait until spring to take the advanced course. But to help keep my sanity they also offer a basic and advanced pistol course which I might be able to squeeze in this September.

So if you are in need or want of some rifle or pistol training and live in South East Wisconsin or Northeast Illinois you could do a lot worse had to look up Milwaukee COP.
