Carl is an excellent instructor. I've been shooting all my life and still learned a lot from him. In particular where you can and cannot carry. There were a couple students who had not ever shot a gun before. He went through all the basic of firearm manipulation and at the end of the class, I felt confident that they understood the basics. He also went over gear which was very important for a new shooter or ccw user. I would recommend his class to anyone that is experienced or not as you will learn from him.

My wife and I took Carl's concealed carry class and it was amazing. Carl made an extra effort to work with my wife in the range and immediately she was hitting the bullseye. He was very thorough and made it easy for everyone to absorb what he was teaching. Carl, thanks and we will continue our firearms training with you. We will also refer and recommend you as well!

This is simply some of the best training available. I have had prior military weapons training so I have actual experience to measure CNC Academy training against. Carl’s training is, without a doubt, some of the best instruction I have received. The class consists of both instructor lead lessons and class participation demonstrations that fix the presented scenarios and concepts into the student’s mind. Carl’s teaching style, depth of subject matter knowledge, and interactive presentations keep his students actively engaged. I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed if you choose CNC Academy training. I also urge everyone with prior military experience to attend the full two-day training, even though the law doesn’t require it. You won’t be sorry you did. You can never receive too much training on such an important topic.
