From private, individual basic and advanced pistol instruction to concealed weapons permit (CWP) classes and sporting rifle classes, it is our mission to ensure that each and every student that walks through our doors be equipped with the ability to avoid conflict in the first place and know how to properly use a firearm as a last resort.

My family & myself took a Home Safety course on August 7, 2016. We received hands-on instruction…read morefor basic beginner handgun safety & handling (The Firearm Safety in the Home course). We were interested mainly in beginner handgun safety. I know that Buddy & Jerry would customize the course to focus any any particular subject. The course lasted a little more than 2.5 hours and was reasonably priced. Buddy & Jerry are the best. During the course, they explain all the topics thoroughly and work with you to answer any & all questions along the way. They even asked at the end again, if there is anything else they could help with or if there was any topic that we wanted to go over with them. They are genuinely concerned with providing the best instruction and they delivered. The course covered clearing the gun, magazine loading, grip, sight picture, safety concerns \, ammunition, and much more. They assisted us with considerations when buying a handgun, some home-invasion scenarios, and details regarding how a gun functions with hands-on practice with a variety of handguns. The simulator is eye-opening as it presents you with actual real-life situations that place you in a "fire / no fire" position. This is not static range-type targets, but real life sequences - some even police dash-cam videos. The simulator tracks your shots for analysis. The kids enjoyed this part the most, and I think now we all appreciate the responsibility and pressure placed on gun owners and law enforcement officers to practice and to be able to make the proper split-second decisions if ever in that unfortunate situation. We are looking into the CWD class next. Thank you Buddy & Jerry!

The staff are top-notch, professional, knowledgeable & very accommodating. They pulled out all the stops to ensure we had a great time on the range on both visits. The range was well arranged, well lit & the lanes were roomy. The digital target controls were great as was the selection of targets to use! We were afforded the opportunity to shoot a variety of guns; a Glock 17 in 9mm, a Staccato in 9mm, a S&W revolver in .38 Spl, a 1911 in .45 ACP, as well as a variety of AR platforms in 7.62x39, .308 & 5.56 NATO. Great fun! On the second visit, our hosts worked some magic & found an AK-47 in 7.62x39 to shoot too! My son was super-stoked about that! Such firearms are unavailable for use these days back home, so it was great fun & educational to have the opportunity to use them. We would definitely visit C&S again if we get down to Charleston on another occasion. Great store, great range & great people.

But Jeremy's kindness and patience and dedication to his craft is what made me need to review. Given the Delta variant surge, and the ability for vaccinated people to be carriers...I'm not in the best position to participate given my baby niece's immunocompromised status (who, as an infant, isn't vaccinated), and Jeremy worked with me to find a solution that helps me make sure my niece is safe and looked after, but making sure I knew the door stayed open for my own training. God bless TDT and their staff, and their members who go out of their way to motivate and encourage. If you need a gym routine that shakes up the old and in an exciting way, get on the mat and have some fun!!!! I personally can't wait to go back .

Straightforward driver training, just what you'd expect for a teenager. She learned the rules of…read morethe road, got some confidence behind the wheel, and overall it was a decent experience. According to her, the instructor was very patient and helpful, which is exactly what an anxious student needs. As a parent, though, it was frustrating. Trying to actually schedule in-car time can be a pain in the butt, and it seems clear they don't have any computerized records. It also seems they file by instructor name and class time, rather than by student, but that's a guess based on what they asked whenever I was trying to schedule things. The price is about the same as any other school in the area -- for my other kids I'm likely to check out other schools and see if their organization is a little more straightforward. (To be specific... I've been waiting a day for a call back once they "find" her records. Kid needs her car time to get her license, come on!)

They responded, call the office. That is poor customer service. A company should be able to professionally respond to email inquiries.

If an individual requests a callback, that's different. Companies are becoming too lazy to do business.
