Training:

American Combat Evolutions is committed to providing the highest quality training available anywhere in the world. We have a long list of standard courses to choose from and can custom build a course to address your specific needs. We take the responsibility of teaching and instructing to the next level, our instructors do not just show you what they can do, they will impart the knowledge and ability to perform to the student. The subject matter addressed by our company is far too vital to be presented without a great commitment to quality, lives depend on their future applications. At American Combat Evolutions you don't just train, you learn.

PHILOSOPHY: Our position on training is oriented towards the mind; "Fighting is 90 % mental and 10% physical". Most trainers and operators spend almost 100% of their training time on the physical. Nothing physical will be available to the individual under stress if the mind has been neglected in training.

2026 Training Year:

Hello Shooters,

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones well. The new Training Year is here and I will be offering the "Long Range Pistol" class once again. This course was very well received by the students who attended, it's challenging and rewarding. I will also be offering "Hostage Rescue Shooting Rifle and Pistol" this class will combine the use of rifle and pistol for hostage rescue applications.

Stay safe and healthy,
Steven E. Hayden
