C.A.T.S. was established to provide safe firearms training to the beginner as well as the seasoned shooter. By educating the average citizen in proper firearms handling we believe that lives will be saved. Students are taught to develop their skills by repetition of the fundamentals. There is no excuse for negligence while handling a firearm.

We believe that Hollywood is teaching our youth and viewers in general all about how to recklessly handle a firearm with no regard for safety. The images that are seen are mimicked, portrayed, and acted out on a daily basis in our society. Although there are a lot of movies that demonstrate good solid tactics and safety however the distance between very good and the very bad are disparaging. Unfortunately many will die because of personal irresponsibility, recklessness and lack of good training.

The high standards at C.A.T.S. are maintained by our staff of instructors who always put the safety of students first. We care about the training that the student receives is at the highest level of professionalism of any training organization. We have a zero tolerance level for the individual that is not focused and does not take their training serious. This is known at the beginning of all classes.
