TESTIMONIALS

My boys and I have taken several classes with MCFT, and I can say the training is top-notch. They start by building solid fundamentals and continue to layer on skills in a way that challenges you to improve. It’s not a “one size fits all” approach; they understand that everyone is different and they are great offering alternative techniques to find what works best for each individual.

What really stands out is their hands on style. The Instructors don’t just give instructions; they demonstrate right alongside you, and even participate in drills with students. That kind of leadership shows they hold themselves accountable to the same standards they expect from us, which builds serious trust and mutual respect. When hiccups happen they own it, and we all learn together.

I highly recommend taking a class…but its addicting, you’ll go back for more. I know my boys and I will definitely be back! Thanks gents!

I signed up for training with MCFT and had a 1:1 sessions with Mike. Being a first time shooter, Mike was super patient with me and really broke down the fundamentals in a way I could understand. My confidence and skills are improving!

Thanks MCFT!

Mike and Justin were phenomenal, both very professional and knowledgeable. They love what they do and are great instructors! They practice what they preach and won’t ask anything of you that they are not willing to demonstrate themselves! Great experience!

I was referred to Mike by a friend who took one of his basic shooting classes. I reached out to MCFT and we had a chance to talk about what my needs are for training. Over the last 20 plus years, I have taken over a dozen courses, so training isn’t new to me.

We set up an afternoon class. He spent a little time diagnosing my shooting skills and started to focus on what I needed and came up with a plan to get me there.

By the end of the day my shooting was more consistent, he made some fine adjustments to grip and posture and made some minor tweaks to my reloading mechanics. I also received a lot of great information on shooting with red dots.

This is the best part of one on one training. You leave with new skills and a list of things to work on. I highly recommend him for your training needs!

I had an incredible experience with Mike Chilner, Justin Brazil and the MCFT program. I’ve worked mostly one-on-one with Mike Chilner, who is truly an exceptional firearm instructor—his attention to detail and thorough approach to teaching really stand out. He doesn’t just go through the motions; he makes sure you understand every aspect of firearm safety, handling , and technique.

What really sets him apart is his patience and willingness to help. No matter your experience level, he meets you where you are and builds your confidence step by step. He creates a supportive learning environment where questions are welcomed and progress is inevitable.

MCFT is hands down one of the best training programs out there, you’re guaranteed to walk away more knowledgeable, skilled and safe.

I highly recommend MCFT for both new and experienced firearm owners.
