Excellent training for the beginner and advanced! I've gone through the basic classes through most of the advanced classes. The cadre of trainers and range safety officers provide a safe environment for improving your skill sets from basic firearms training through scenario training. I recommend this training for our church's Safety Team. Mac has provided onsite assessment, and private training to improve our Safety Team and Trauma Teams response. Mac knows his stuff! read more

From training for an LTC applicant to advanced handgun/rifle/shotgun, CDG has it all. This is no run of the mill instruction, this is top notch training. Every class I have attended has been well-organized, on-point, and I left feeling like I actually made progress. The instructors are well versed and have the street cred to backup what they're teaching you. There's a difference between big-box-store type teaching and actual knowledge. These guys are in the know. I'll never train anywhere else. * affordable * extensive training offerings * equipment rentals * high-speed training * training available for all levels of proficiency * "female-friendly" All women classes periodically read more

This is an amazing firearms training and the best I've seen or experienced. If you carry a firearm, you need to practice and the indoor range with a paper target will only let you know your weapon works. This is a GREAT option for LTC courses but more for regular practice in practical situations, defensive instruction with lots of practice on basic and advance skills. Having taken numerous courses for pistol and carbine(AR-style modern sporting rifle) I feel much more confident in my ability to protect myself and my family. Mac and his team are amazing, will not make you feel bad and will ensure no matter what ability or skill set you're at, you leave better and more confident in your abilities. The more you go, the more you feel like part of a family like other reviews have said and you learn from others you train with. Once you go, you will want to go back and continue to learn more and more. read more

I highly recommend Mac and CDG. I have taken multiple tactical courses (CH 1, CH 2, etc.) and just signed up for another. Shooting at a typical range/club with lanes where you shoot from a stationary position with your weapon on a bench (muzzle pointed down range) and paper targets that you move out to various distances is good for the basics (getting familiar with your weapon, sighting in, etc.). At CDG, realistic shooting (while moving, drawing a concelled weapon, etc.) is taught with Weapon Safety always first (muzzle discipline, trigger finger placement, etc.). Other basics (using obstacles, medical, etc.) are also taught, so check out the CDG website and hope to see you there! read more

Hands down the best firearms training I've had. Mac and his team are the real deal, they run their classes with the upmost pride and attention to detail. Safety is a paramount principle there and never deviated from. Once you've trained with CDG you feel like part of the family. There's a reason why I keep coming back. Get out there and support CDG! read more

Knowledgeable and well taught classes. Great personal insight from experienced training staff. I have attended several classes and have always felt safe and listened to regardless of technical level of inquiring. You may find a less expensive class, but you get what you pay for could never be more important - in my opinion. This is far more than a paper target in a controlled lane. read more
