"Chad did a remarkable job of making sure everyone's nerves will calm. He instructed in an approachable way and was incredibly detailed with information." – Kwesi W., Redford, MI

Instructor Chad King brings 24+ years of education experience to firearm training. Students consistently note his ability to break down complex material—particularly Michigan gun laws—into digestible pieces. First-time gun owners often cite reduced anxiety and increased confidence after his CPL classes.

Apex emphasizes practical application over theory alone. Their blog covers real-world topics: reholstering safety, dry fire practice efficiency, gun safe selection, and pistol recommendations for new owners. They understand that training doesn't end at certification—they equip students to practice effectively on their own.
