Chuck is the man! Great class. Great instructor. I learned a lot during the classroom portion and proper shooting technique on the range. I highly recommend taking Chuck's class.

Chuck did an amazing job on the range and in the classroom.

Chuck did a really good job during the shooting portion. He was kind, encouraging and was able to see what we were doing incorrectly and guided us in correcting our techniques. He made sure each person felt encouraged no matter how we shot at each of our turns. Excellent in the range
Thanks Chuck

I took a 1on1 class with Chuck yesterday and had a great time. I found him to be professional, knowledgeable, friendly and very patient when I would make the same mistake over and over during the shooting portion of the class. I highly recommend CPL616.
Thank You Chuck.

Chuck was professional through the class and training. He keeps the class informative, but humorous enough to stay interesting. On the range he is a stickler for safety and is always ready to give a helpful cue to improve your shooting. He is great as seeing where your skill level is and expects you to give your best effort to meet that skill level the entire time you are on the range. I would highly recommend attending Chuck's classes!

My training with chuck was very professional and informative...range Time was also professional and informative...I highly recommend his CPL training !!.
Thank you Chuck hope to see you on the range again
Sometimes!.

I highly recommend this class to all. I was very reluctant to take the class since it had been over 50 years that I had shot a firearm, and being a senior, it had been quite a while since I had taken any formal class or training. Right from the beginning, Chuck put me at ease. His professionalism reminded me of some of the great instructors that I had in the US Air Force. He really knows his craft. Thank you Chuck, for your patients with me, and for making this class such a memorable one. I had a great time, and it was really fun too.

To start i let my cpl expire 3 times, once because i was out of state, and other stupid reasons. BUT Between taking the class at west walker gun club, port city pistol, and Chucks class was most thorough, fun, felt very comfortable. The guns he provides (AT A MORE THAN REASONABLE RATE) are comfortable, well balanced and easy to shoot for all. As an Eagle scout, i have known many shooting instructors over the years. Chuck makes everything cut and dry, he tells you the proper way and perfectly coaches. From newbie to expert.... youll learn alot! A+ Thank you Mr. Bates! RECCOMENDED!

Chuck was a very knowledgeable instructor and very easy to learn from. If you are considering taking a CPL class, I cannot think of a reason to take any class other than a CPL616 class.

I had a 1 on 1 class with Chuck and he is an awesome instructor! He makes things very easy to understand, and does a great job answering any questions you have. The class itself is very informative as well. Growing up around firearms, I thought I was pretty knowledgeable, but this class taught me quite a few things that I didn’t know. Chuck does a great job making sure that safety is his #1 priority, and making sure it is for you as well. The class was fun to take, especially the range portion. I would definitely recommend taking your CPL through Chuck!
