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!!!

I was very satisfied with my training course with Barnes 1st Step Firearms Training. They bent over backwards during an unprecedented impact from a pandemic to ensure I received the firearm training needed.
The training atmosphere was comfortable and anyone at any level of familiarity with a firearm will feel first feel comfortable and leave feeling qualified.
I intend to do continuing education with Barnes - that's how content I am with their services.
