I required a CCW recertification class and had many options. Steve and Poncho accommodated my limited availability by providing private instruction in my hometown of Truckee. Although I had taken these classes before, I was pleasantly surprised by Poncho's extensive knowledge, military experience, and the practical training he provided. I highly recommend Bad Moon Shooting and Poncho as an extremely proficient educator and trainer. read more

Steve Carney is the most exceptional Weapons/CCW Instructor I have ever met. His background in Military and Law Enforcement plus training with various agencies worldwide makes him very knowledgeable. He infuses his lesson plans with his worldly life experiences. Thus if you wantmore in a CCW class than just passing it, then I highly recommend you take his CCW Class that is available at both Beale AFB and Yuba City. read more

This nighttime firearms training provided a professional, safety-focused learning environment that built confidence and responsibility. It clearly explained how low-light conditions affect awareness and judgment, emphasized proper target identification, and taught smart flashlight use to reduce mistakes and avoid becoming an easy target in the dark. Thank you Steven and Alan. read more
