All the information given in the 3 hour class was so helpful. We were very new to firing guns prior to this course. We had bought our own firearms and went to a local shooting range to use them and I always felt scared but willing to learn. I am so glad we took this class with Sledge because I don't feel afraid anymore. I am excited to implement what I learned at the range when I practice on my own. I definitely feel way more confident and comfortable with my gun now. Looking forward to taking more classes in the future. I recommend anyone to take this course who is looking to get all their questions answered about firearm basics. Sledge was happy to answer any questions that I had. Such a valuable experience. Thanks Sledge.

He seemed very knowledgeable and shared his Professional experience with Firearms. The class was held at the range and we had the range to ourselves so it felt very exclusive. We each got an NRA Curriculum book so we can follow along with his presentation. And a Certification Roadmap so we can see other courses that NRA offers for certification. We had a Range Safety Officer with us during the shooting qualification and after he shared tips. Overall I'd recommend C&C to anyone that wants quality instruction and wants someone who is approachable and can make everyone feel valued . Thanks C & C!

I took the NRA Basic Pistol Course with Cheryl and it was amazing. I had never shot a pistol before…read moreso I was going into this class as a complete beginner. Cheryl was very engaging, funny, and informative. Most of the class consists of a classroom portion where Cheryl will inform you of important and relevant laws to be aware of when it comes to your firearm. You'd think this info would be boring but Cheryl taught the information in such an engaging way that made it easy to retain the info. The last part of the class consists of actually shooting a pistol at a nearby shooting range. My first time shooting a pistol and while it was nerve wracking at first, I felt completely safe with Cheryl! I highly recommend Cheryl and CAS & Sons Protective Group for their basic pistol class. I've already referred it to my friends and family as well! Well worth the price.

My instructor, Eloy, is both funny and a hardass. Safety first! And after the past two full days, in the process of getting my CCW permit, I absolutely know more and improved more, in terms of confidently handling my weapon both safely and effectively. This is the place I'd recommend to my family and friends if they decided they also needed this training.

Walking into the Seven 4 Para classroom humbled me instantly…read more As a firearm owner for 4 years and a CCW holder for 2, I thought I knew what I was doing--until Eloy and Alec's 16-hour CCW class completely changed that. Their instruction revealed gaps in my knowledge that previous classes never addressed, to the point where I seriously questioned whether I was truly worthy of the responsibility of carrying. What sets Seven 4 Para apart is the depth of their expertise, real-world experience, and unwavering professionalism. They took me to an entirely new level in safety, technique, and situational awareness. My initial CCW class two years ago felt like a rubber stamp by comparison--no real challenge, no deep accountability. If you're serious about elevating your gun ownership, self-defense skills, and overall responsibility, this class is exceptional. The volume of essential information packed into 16 hours is intensive but absolutely necessary. Eloy and Alec go above and beyond to ensure every student truly understands the concepts--they won't sign off until they're confident you're safe, capable, and respectful of the responsibility. No shortcuts, no rubber stamps here. Huge thanks to the entire Seven 4 Para team for investing the time to advance my knowledge, sharpen my respect for carrying, and improve my decision-making under pressure. This training was worth far more than the cost--it's an investment in safety and peace of mind.
