ACE Civilian Training & Consulting

ACE Civilian Training & Consulting operates from a private training facility near Clovis, California, about 10 minutes outside Fresno. Every instructor on their team is a certified law enforcement professional with years of real-world tactical experience. They've taken skills developed in police work and converted them into training programs for civilians who want to carry responsibly.

Their facility isn't a public range. Training happens at a private location, which means students get access to drills that public ranges prohibit: drawing and shooting from concealment carry positions, drawing from holsters, shooting on the move, and vehicle defense scenarios. This matters because it's the difference between practicing mechanics and practicing reality.
