This is simply some of the best training available. I have had prior military weapons training so I have actual experience to measure CNC Academy training against. Carl's training is, without a doubt, some of the best instruction I have received. The class consists of both instructor lead lessons and class participation demonstrations that fix the presented scenarios and concepts into the student's mind. Carl's teaching style, depth of subject matter knowledge, and interactive presentations keep his students actively engaged. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed if you choose CNC Academy training. I also urge everyone with prior military experience to attend the full two-day training, even though the law doesn't require it. You won't be sorry you did. You can never receive too much training on such an important topic. read more

Owned my firearm for about 10+ years and never used it once in the range. Took the CCL class over the past weekend and boy did I learn a LOT. C. Traub is such an awesome instructor. It's not easy sitting in a 8hour a day class for 2 days but he made it very tolerable. Not only is he very informative he jokes here and there which helps to keep things moving along. He was really helpful with the range portion as well. Needed all the help I could get being that I've only been in the range once in my life. Gave me tips on how to fix the sights on my Taurus 380 and make them more noticeable. There is a lot that I learned from this CCL course so glad I decided to take it. C. Traub is highly recommended. read more

Carl made a complicated process very easy and understandable. I thought I had basic gun knowledge but boy was I wrong! I learned so much, even some things I never even would have thought of. I highly encourage people of all skill levels to take the course, you will walk out with a new respect for the 2nd amendment. If you value your safety and the well being of others around you, I promise you will benefit from taking his course. I will be going back to Carl for my recertification when time comes! Thank you! read more

Carl is the best there is, and he charges half of what the competition does. He purposefully keeps the class size under 12 so that he can focus on the individual. He has decades of training experience, is recently retired from his "day job," and does the CNC Academy because he enjoys it. He is friendly, honest, knowledgeable, easy-going, and a great teacher. His class is informative whether you are an experienced gun owner or have never held a gun in your life. Highly recommended. read more

Carl's class was very informative and detailed. I came in to the class with no shooting experience, but with Carl's knowledge, passion, and patience I left with great skills and knowledge. When it came time to completing the online application for my background check I began having problems and Carl took time out of his busy schedule to help me with that as well. I would recommend Carl to anyone who is looking to get their conceal carry license. read more

I purchased my first firearm (handgun) and knew that I needed much more than the instruction manual and YouTube to help me properly load and handle the weapon. Carl at C-N-C Academy filled in all the blanks for me and I now feel confident in handling and firing my handgun. I don't plan to carry 24/7 however there may be times that I want to. Carl's class has fully prepared my to be safe, be smart, and protect when necessary. Thanks Carl!! read more
