I took the Small Arms Combatives course to get my CCW permit, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Instructors Hunter and Guy did an amazing job! The classroom portion was very thorough and combined with dry firing, which really helped reinforce what we were learning in real-time. One thing I really appreciated was being able to use their gear at no extra cost--just had to bring ammo but there was ammo available for purchase. The attention to detail was top-notch, and both instructors took the time to break everything down so that everyone, regardless of experience level, could keep up and feel confident. It's extremely important to see the instructor shoot--and man, Hunter was great! Watching him in action gave us all a clear standard to aim for and showed he truly practices what he teaches. I'll definitely be coming back for more of their courses. Highly recommend! read more

There are several qualities which Hunter and the Small Arms Combatives CCH Course have which make it the best choice for those looking to take a course, but to keep this review short here are two: First is Hunter's candor, no bones about it attitude, and his obvious expertise. He teaches a lifestyle, not a class per se. Making the choice to become a protector (either yourself or others) by concealing a weapon is not an easy one, and may result in a life or death struggle. Hunter prepares you to face this possibility with a combative mindset. Second is the design of the course. You will spend time learning skills and performing drills which you may use in a real world situation. A course should not only teach you what to do, but how to do it... and ideally how to practice for any situation that may arise. Here is something that is obvious to me but it must not be to others....You cannot learn best handgun practices and techniques by shooting 40 times at a target. Think about all the things you can do 40 times and still suck at it (lifting weights?). You need to put a ton of rounds down range. Any other course is inadequate for this reason, you simply don't shoot enough. This is a long review, but the Small Arms Combatives CCH Course was thoughtfully designed and I thought it appropriate to reflect that in my review. This is the only class I will recommend for my loved ones to take because it will prepare them to stay alive in the event that something horrible happens. It's perfect for a new gun owner, or someone who is not very experienced with firearms, but it's still the best choice for someone with more experience like myself. read more

If you are looking to be trained this is the right place, I came here for the concealed carry class thinking I was just going to sit in a long class listening to legal stuff, do some target shooting and be done. I was completely wrong. I have been shooting almost my entire life and in a few hours I learned more handgun training than I've learned in the past 15 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else in a million years. Anywhere else will most likely be subpar, come here for real training. read more

After taking your average concealed carry course a few years ago, I felt like I just paid for a piece of paper and my time. I decided that this go round I wanted more, so I signed up for this Small Arms Combative class. It did not disappoint!!! The instructor is incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. Because of this course, I now feel more prepared and confident that if heaven forbid a situation does occur, I will be able to react quickly and appropriately to diffuse the situation. This course is worth a lot more and goes well beyond just your standard piece of paper for watching a video and doing a little target shooting! Don't hesitate to sign up no matter your expertise. read more
