My name is Michael Hendricks. I am a business professional with years of teaching and training experience (carrying a firearm for a long time). As my interest in firearms grew, so did my knowledge and desire to teach others.
There are many reasons people own and carry firearms. I probably check most, if not all, of those boxes; however, the main reason I carry is to ensure I can protect and defend the people around me who I love the most.
The United States Conceal Carry Association (USCCA) is a nationally recognized organization that focuses on proper firearm training and instruction. They have a very high bar for their instructors, which is why I chose them to pursue my certification through.
While I am currently working with a local gun store/range, providing class instruction and private lessons, I am also fully insured and provide my own personal training and instruction courses.
I look forward to working with you.
What to Expect?
As a business professional, I bring a clear communication style with a direct and personal approach to all my classes. I try to promote a non-intimidating environment for people with all levels of experience.
I keep my classes smaller in size so everyone can receive the personal attention needed, and learn the foundational points to gun safety and proper shooting mechanics.
Shooting mechanics has evolved over the years. We have more information today than we have ever had with the increased popularity of the sport. This information has changed many instructors approach to their understanding of what proper form and shooting techniques look like. I try to always bring the newest information to all my classes.
