I didn't start out great but he was patient with me. I feel more comfortable than what I was before the training thanks to him. Being that he is a veteran and a local small business Walden Arms is my go to firearm business. Chris definitely knows his stuff. If you're looking into anything firearm related Walden Arms is worth checking out. Thanks Chris!

Chris is absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! Fortunately, while searching for a trainer, I came across Chris…read morewith whom I spent 4 hours last week. We began our time together with his evaluating my rifle which I had never fired. He recommended numerous improvements which made all the difference in the world during the actual training and shooting. He was excellent with spending the time to sight in the new red dot he recommended. I had purchased another rifle from a gun store that said the Bushnell scope would be "sighted in". Well, they must have hired a deer to do it. Wouldn't even hit the target. Chris made several necessary adjustments. That deer will not be happy. As a result of our time together, I am completely comfortable using the rifle we focused on. To keep some of the lesson top of mind, I did some filming. Chris is extremely patient and caring. No pressure and when I missed something we had previously worked on, he was great. With all of his years of experience in the military, SWAT teams, and police departments, serving and training, he definitely knows what he is doing. It is highly likely that other trainers could have huge egos, not Chris!!! Don't look any further for a trainer, if you are reading this, you found your guy. I will be back for my handgun refresher and some more rifle. The time we spent together was definitely not enough.

The person working the counter was really helpful and got us squared away pretty quickly. Although we didn't rent one of their firearms on our initial visit, they have a pretty extensive selection if you don't have your own or are looking to try something out. We brought our own eye and ear protection, but they can provide it if you don't have your own (I believe for a nominal fee). The range officer that day was fantastic. Since it was our first time at Centershot, he gave us a quick tutorial on how to operate the computerized targeting system. Within a couple minutes we were all set up and firing down range. There are a total 12 shooting lanes split into two areas - 8 lanes on one side and 4 lanes on the other. The range was very clean and the targeting system worked flawlessly. We've been back to Centershot several times within the past two months, it's been great each and every time. Sometimes it can get a little busy and crowded in the storefront area, but I think they do a good job of taking care of their customers. Prices seem pretty reasonable and all of my interactions with the staff have been great. Highly recommended.

I've been a member of Southern Michigan Gun Club (SMGC) for over 20 years, and I absolutely love…read moreour facilities and the community that makes this club special. Our membership includes a strong presence of veterans, and that experience and mindset help reinforce the club's deep commitment to safety, respect, and mentorship. The range opportunities here are outstanding--airgun, 5-stand, skeet/trap, archery (including amazing wooded trails with 3D targets), multiple handgun distances, dedicated 50- and 100-yard rifle ranges, and a well-maintained indoor range where the club is currently experimenting with retractable target systems. SMGC has trained additional Range Safety Officers for the indoor range, allowing us to offer more non-event opportunities for members to use the indoor facilities--another example of how SMGC balances access with safety. The club has also expanded engaging shooting options in a thoughtful, safety-first way. Steel plates are now available on the 50- and 100-yard ranges, and reactive targets are available on the Goff pistol range when a Range Safety Officer is on duty, giving members more dynamic training and practice opportunities while maintaining proper supervision. Beyond the facilities, SMGC offers a variety of special interest groups that members can join, including pistol, Civilian Marksmanship, action shooting, run-and-gun, archery, indoor matches, 30/40 bore, and junior shotgun (skeet/trap). These groups create great opportunities for skill development, friendly competition, and community involvement. One thing I really appreciate is how the club continues to evolve responsibly. Our recently revised Self-Supervised Shooter (SSS) program allows members to demonstrate safe firearm handling in a structured, supportive way. New members can complete SSS right after orientation, giving them expanded access to the Goff pistol range and the 50- and 100-yard rifle ranges from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (or sunset, whichever comes first). The Board is safety-first focused and financially conscientious, with a clear emphasis on maintaining facilities while thoughtfully expanding opportunities for members. The club has also recently adopted a new membership software system, improving communication, streamlining access, and making it easier for members to stay informed and engaged. Because of that stewardship, SMGC is an excellent value at just $100 per year. Great facilities, strong leadership, and a welcoming community built around safety and respect--SMGC is a club I'm proud to be part of.

The indoor range stays busy all season with WMPL Gallery .22 matches, A Girl and A Gun, Ladies Shoots, .22 rimfire rifle events, and regular New Member Orientations. Members can also take advantage of open indoor range time, scheduled sessions with trained Range Safety Officers, and Backup Gun (BUG) move-and-shoot activities. Outdoor shooting continues through the winter with CMP events, 30/40 bore, and Skeet disciplines including Skeet, International Skeet, and SCRAP-- with Skeet and SCRAP open to the public. With a real strong focus on safety, great volunteer support, and activities year-round, SMGC is a friendly, well-run club that's easy to recommend. BTW...Membership dues are a deal !!!!!

Their classes are conducted in a very professional manner, and the owner of the company (and lead instructor) could probably work nights as a a rather popular comedian. He is serious when it comes to firearm safety, though. He's funny enough to make important points stick in one's memory, and serious enough to maintain an air of competence. The support staff is well-trained and professional. The range is nothing fancy, but it does the trick. Besides, when you're training for defensive pistol usage, do you really want your training to be in a completely controlled environment? This CPL course is more than just the absolute bare-minimum. You get a taste of defensive tactics. I can only hope they offer an intermediate and advanced course as well for those who want to take their training a step beyond once they obtain their CPL.
