Defensive Handgun Course

Our Defensive Handgun Course is designed to educate the students about the handguns that are best for personal defense. There will be some time on the range and in the classroom. We will go over the draw stroke, moving and shooting, the plausibility principle, and the balance of speed and precision. We will also cover Defensive Accuracy, Lateral Motion, the Critical Incident Reload, Volume of Fire, and Realistic Training for Target Engagement. No experience is necessary. Class size is limited.

Special Requirements

  • Minimum age 18 years old
  • Handgun – We recommend you train with your carry handgun as you must have a working knowledge of how to use your handgun and how to do it safely.
  • 300 rounds of ammunition
  • 3 magazines (You may want more if your magazine’s capacity is 10 or less.)
  • A good holster and belt – Handgun holsters should be good quality with proper retention (no Serpa or that style release, no cloth Uncle Mike’s style).
  • A way to carry extra magazines (pants pocket or magazine carrier)
  • Eye and ear protection

Saturday, April 2, 8:30am – 5:00pm (registration closes April 17, 11:59pm)

Michigan Tech Recreation Indoor Triathlon

Don’t forget to register!

You don’t have to win, you just have to TRI! Michigan Tech Recreation is hosting an indoor triathlon for MTU students and SDC Access Pass Holders (minimum one-month).

Beginners and seasoned athletes are welcome to participate in the 10-minute swim, 15-minute bike, and 10-minute run! Transition time is provided between events. Event capacity is limited.

The indoor triathlon will take place on Wednesday, April 3 at 7 p.m. at the SDC. Open to MTU students and SDC Access Pass Holders (minimum one-month) with a valid MTU student ID or SDC Access Pass. Must be 16 years of age or older to participate.
