I live in Henry county (born and raised) I know nothing about these people. I don't know anybody in my area that deals with them either. I also have no clue where they train have not seen anything on the road they claim to be located on. Only reason I know anything is they have a few rusty spray painted signs nailed to trees in the area for advertisement. I work for the Henry County DOT and ride the area daily and still have seen or heard nothing... I hope this helps.

I've seen the signs as well, and with foreman2000 being from the area, I'd thought he'd know something about them.  I mean, I've lived here for 25 years and only have seen their signs.  You could always meet up with them and discuss their background before accepting the training course.

I've read some pretty good reviews from other forums about their training. I just didn't know if anyone here had done any training with them.

What are their claims to being experts? What are their costs? More details may reveal some issues.....

Honestly based on that Bio....and notice he doesn't mention any of the other instructors at all......avoid them.  There are plenty of instructors in Ga. who actually show their credentials, not just rattle off a lot of potential buzzwords.

Stuff like this, "He has received specialized training from the U.S.Secret Service, FBI, U.S. State Department, U.S. Marshal Service and U.S Navy Seals."

What "specialized training" did he actually receive?  Like how to make a Latte from the Seals?(sorry inside joke with a AD buddy of mine)

Looking at his website, it does seem that it is all HIM. In the many pictures I looked at on the site, it only shows him as an instructor, no one else. I think I would choose some of the other great instructors that are members here.

Just my .02

Thanks again for the help guys

USSA-1, 00bullit, cmshoot are the three I've attended classes they've put on. They are great. There are others here who also teach whom I've not yet trained with. Others will chime in shortly.

I have this group's website "bookmarked" in my browser for some reason.  Think I may have read something positive from someone here but can't recall what it might have been or even who posted what I think I kinda remember.  The fact someone hasn't chimed in yet may be an indication to avoid them.

I looked up cmshoot and found the link to his training facility. I watched a video and liked what I saw. I'm probably going to send him a message about getting some training.


Exactly what I was looking for


Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!

The NAPMA is a marketing program, they don't appear to offer certifications.  I note he doesn't mention a particular belt level or where he earned his belt (mine is a 2nd Dan in Tae Kwon Do from Iron Dragon Martial Arts in Marietta, Grandmaster Jimmy Mickens called me last night to encourage me to return as I haven't trained in two years, anyone on my FB list can see pictures of me training and grading belt tests).

Yep, it's stuff like that. I recieved training from the state dept on the phone system when discussing classified materials. The SEaLs instructed me in several areas when we were bored at the safe house in Khafli ( most of it was how to not throw a knife like I was doing), a buddy of mine with the secret service instructed me on how to pop a hole in a beer can to prevent the glug. Damn I'm almost as trained as this guy, maybe I should start a training business. Where was that add for self building a website?

Just by their GAHTF reputation alone, one can't go wrong by taking courses from USSA-1, cmshoot, or JLW.  All have documented backgrounds, are actively involved with shooting and training, are excellent instructors, and actually enjoy getting the correct info and training out to course attendees. I have personally taken training with Shep (cmshoot) and would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody looking for pistol, carbine, or long range rifle training.

There are of course others that I have also heard good things about but my schedule did not line up with the dates they offered the course.
