I'm a retired law enforcement officer with over 20 years experience in major western city and have take specialized weapons training during that service. Following retirement, my shooting skills became rusty and I needed an NRA Certified Law Enforcement instructor to qualify me for my annual CCW renewal as mandated by my former employer. In one hour of coaching, Cedric Barnes, assisted me with regaining my skills resulting in a 100% improvement and passing the qualification requirements with ease. Cedric has a natural ability to communicate on the level needed and has excellent coaching skills. I look forward to a long term relationship with him and his wife Kelly who went out of her way to not only make the coaching session come to fruition but enthusiastically provided answer to my many questions without me having to interrogate her. She seemed to anticipate the direction of my questioning and volunteered the answers including the ones I had yet to ask. 100% Satisfied!

This course was very dynamic and comprehensive. I have had many handgun training classes, but none taught me how to defend myself with a handgun. Real life scenarios including live firing at moving simulated threatening targets were fantastic skill building exercises. I am looking forward to training with Cedric Barnes in the future, his knowledge and tactics were superior. I highly recommend his program.

Cedric took the time to really understand the areas I struggled with and catered our sessions to directly address those areas. The transition between sessions was also great because they built off of each other, so you were able to pick up right where you left off. You could tell that he really devotes his time and attention to his clients. I left our sessions feeling confident in my shooting abilities and had a lot of fun while doing so.

Cedric and Kelly were great! Very detailed instruction that covered safety, d escalation, conflict, as well as many other relevant topics. Kelly was able to speak to some of the legal responsibilities that come with being a gun owner from the perspectives of both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. Cedric was in charge of the practical aspects of training. I highly recommend!!!

Mr. Cedric Barnes is a true professional. The instruction that you receive are current and up to date, he is very detail oriented when it come the basic fundamental of marksmanship. Safety is one of his strong points. Firearms training is what you receive ( Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals ) from the laws of the District of Columbia and his years of professional experience.

I can’t stop talking about these classes. I had the privilege of taking two classes and both were well taught. I left equipped with enough knowledge to feel very comfortable with handling a firearm, including the aiming, loading, and most importantly firearm safety and laws. Being able to apply my newly learned knowledge at the firing range only reinforced my classroom knowledge. I would suggest purchasing your fire arm before you take the advanced class; nonetheless, the experience was well worth it. I would also encourage those who just want to use the shooting range as a hobby to take the fundamentals class to make the most of your experience while at the shooting range. Finally, my views of firearms were definitely expanded and I gained clarity about firearms misconceptions.
What I would suggest. For the fundamental class, have a drawing of a semi and revolver so those who have little background and/or knowledge can keep up with the information and make notes. Especially since the fundamentals class does not include a textbook. Those with little experience will want to keep the writing pads because they are likely to make more notes than the experience users.

I recently took the pistol fundamental class with Cedric Barnes and I must say I’m please with how knowledgeable he was. I appreciate him letting us be hands on in this course. He took his time in answering all questions. I also appreciate his patience at the range. Lol Over all it was a great course to take for someone who knows nothing about firearms. Also Kelly was so sweet over the phone and she also took her time in explaining everything in detail as well.

The Pistol Fundamentals course was exceptional. The instructor took time to explain in detail the correct way to use a firearm but using safety first. The class pace was organized to fit the learning ability and understanding of each person.

I recently completed the Pistol Fundamental Course and One on One Training. This course far exceeded my expectations. As a first timer, I was more than pleased with the instruction – the combination of classroom instruction and time at the range was perfect. The full-day classroom instruction was interactive with lots of time built in for hands-on learning. Mr. Cedric Barnes is a first-class instructor. In addition to being professional and incredibly knowledgeable, he was patient, more than willing to listen to concerns, and provided loads of thoughtful feedback. His level of attentiveness to each student, helped to build confidence and improve shooting performance at the range. Thank you to Cedric and Kelly.

Peter Rothschild (Apr 17-18):
Overall, I thought the class was very good. I would like to have had more hands-on time and less book time.
Some of the background was necessary, and some was interesting but not anything I needed to know (or things I already knew). For example, knowing what a "frame" is did not really help.
In my personal opinion, the hands-on should have started at noon, and spent more time on things like grip, smooth trigger pulling, stance, etc. The simulator was not working that weekend (just the laser), and I bet it would have helped a LOT. I didn't find out I had a flinching problem until the range, so I didn't have much time to work on it.
The quality of the hands-on time that we got was good, I just wish that there had been more of it. I felt that I got personal attention, and that I got my money's worth.
