Top-notch training from start to finish. The instructor, Chino is truly a professional who clearly prioritizes Safety and Lawful Use. He has a great way of delivering information so it’s easy to digest, even during high-pressure drills. If you're looking for a clear and effective firearms course, this is it.

I’ve taken multiple classes with Castillo Arms, from my CCW course to ongoing refresher trainings, and I can confidently say Mike (Chino) is one of the best firearms instructors I’ve ever worked with.He offers an impressive range of training, from beginner all the way to advanced pistol and rifle courses, and even in home family defense scenarios using high end laser and simulation equipment. Those home-invasion drills are incredibly realistic, professional, and thoughtfully designed to prepare families in a safe, controlled environment.What truly sets Mike apart is his professionalism and commitment to safety. No matter how many classes you take with him, he never becomes complacent. Safety protocols are always followed to the letter, and you feel completely confident and secure under his instruction. He’s polite, patient, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about every student learning the right way.Beyond being an excellent shooter himself, his ability to explain techniques, mindset, and real world application is top notch. You can hear the experience and wisdom in everything he teaches.If you carry or are considering learning how to protect yourself and your family, I highly recommend Castillo Arms. I’ll continue taking refresher courses with Mike and sending friends and family his way.Outstanding instructor and an outstanding experience every time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve attended a firearms training class with my family and Chino's quality of instruction has been outstanding. He does an excellent job of creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. His approach to teaching emphasizes safety, clarity, and hands-on understanding, which made a huge difference in my confidence level. What stood out most was how comfortable I felt asking questions and learning at my own pace. I left not only more knowledgeable but genuinely confident in my ability to handle a firearm safely and responsibly. I would highly recommend his classes to anyone, whether you’re a beginner or looking to sharpen your skills. I'm looking forward to attending more training classes in the future!

I attended a basics class to learn about home safety and weapon use. It was an incredible experience. The facilities are so nice and the instructors are so encouraging. When I was done, I felt much more confident to use a weapon for self-defense. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn the basics or improve their skills.
