Just want to say that me & my nephew had our first training session with Chad. He is very professional & gave of each a lot of great advise & suggested technique that help us improve our shooting. Highly recommend him.

my wife and I just got home from some training with Chad.

I will write a review later on how it impacted us, but let me summarize.

this was probably the best money we have ever spent on the hobby.

Chad was professional, encouraging and challenging.

if you arw on the fence, jump over

If you're a new shooter, or just as clueless to what you're doing as I was, call Chad!! I went from shooting everything but the target to some pretty decent groupings after just 20 minutes. I was in shock as to how much I had been doing wrong, and Chad quickly remedied those issues. The lessons were amazing, and Chad was suuuuuper patient. We actually got to range an hour early so I had time to pick his brain & ask questions that I had been wanting to ask an experienced shooter. That too was a valuable experience! Now that I have the fundamentals in place I'll be practicing on my own, and then I'll definitely be calling Chad back for a "review" session!! Thanks again Chad!!

Highly Recommend; Great Coach!

I had my first 1:1 instruction with Chad last night. Great guy, very friendly, easy to talk to, down to earth, sincere, and most of all a great teacher. I was very specific with my goal and his tips were very helpful.

From the get-go, he corrected my grip and my trigger pull (placement of trigger finger, follow through), which made a difference - that night and tonight when I went to the range again to practice. There are many factors to accurate target shooting and I just need to practice more knowing what I know now.

What I liked the best about his approach was when he broke down the different components of shooting - grip, trigger pull, follow through, breathing, stance, sight alignment, sight picture. He tried to isolate the "mistakes" and helped me assess what I might have done incorrectly on specific shots. He tried to identify the variances between shots with a goal of achieving consistency on each and every shot. That approach was very helpful as it was like trouble-shooting an issue - very specific and just what I needed.

I learned a lot in the hour or so, not only how to more accurately shoot my handgun with the many tips that he gave, but also about competition (GSSF, IDPA, etc.), discounts on buying a gun, CGSSA, CGF and he even connected me with a fellow gunner to get the things that I need for a great price. I felt that he had my best interest and that was very important.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Chad to anyone, especially to my family and friends who are looking to get into the hobby or improving their skill. It was without a doubt a worthwhile spend of resources - time and money. In fact, I will see him again for a follow up session to continue improving my skill - to tweak things a little bit. I want to continue to learn from a great shooter and coach, and Chad is that person!

Took the HSC test from Chad - great guy, great test. Highly recommended.

I meet with Chad a few nights ago for pistol instruction. He is very personable and a great coach.

I would recommend anyone looking at improving their shooting meet with Chad. The improvement in hour of coaching is well worth the money, and much cheaper in ammunition costs than struggling to improve by yourself.

Marksmanship Training with RoundEye

After attending a WOT Pistol class where RoundEye was a primary instructor, I met with him a couple of weeks ago to work on improving my marksmanship, specifically correcting a tendency to pull low left and to develop better grouping. Within an hour of instruction at 21 feet, the low left pull was gone and most of my groupings had migrated to within 3 or less inches of each other. More importantly, working with RoundEye allowed me to identify the issues with grip and trigger-pull that were creating the problems. RoundEye is an expert instructor, and an easygoing and encouraging teacher. After our lesson he also followed up with an email outlining the points we discussed, as well as reminders about grip and trigger-pull. I recommend him wholeheartedly and hope to return for another lesson after dedicating some time to practicing.

I had a training session with Chad this past weekend. He's a great instructor. He was extremely patient and genuinely cared about improving my skills. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of quality training.

Firearm Safety Certification Available!

As of January 1, 2015, with the implementation of SB 685, the current Handgun Safety Certificate (HSC) program is being converted into the new Firearm Safety Certificate program (FSC). Your existing HSC card will be good for the purchase of handguns until it expires, but a current FSC card will now be required for the purchase of both long guns, and handguns. The state set fee of $25 will remain the same, and replacement cards purchased from the same instructor within the valid period will be $5. The test will still be pen and paper, and you will be allowed you two attempts (separated by 24 hours) to attain a passing score (23:30). Study guides are available from the CADOJ website. You can either take the test in conjunction with instruction, or separately. If you're only interested in the FSC test we can either meet up at one of the CGSSA monthly shoots that I attend, or in and/or around the Los Angeles area (DTLA, or SFV). The new cards are issued electronically, and since I won't have a printer with me, I'll have to email you your card after you pass the test.

*If you're new to gun ownership an FSC card is required to purchase, transfer, or be lent a gun in California and must be renewed every five (5) years.
