THE INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT
THE INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT
KLINT MACRO of Trigger Pressers Union. By Amy Lucas
I first met Klint Macro a couple of years ago when I was selected
to become a Training Counselor with the United States Concealed
Carry Association (USCCA). Naturally, I was excited about traveling
to the main headquarters in West Bend, WI for my training
and even more so to meet all the people that I had looked up
to. Before leaving for my trip, I got a message from Michael
Martin, the author of the curriculum for the USCCA, Concealed
Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals and Emergency First
Aid Fundamentals. He told me that he was going to be in
Wisconsin, and he was planning to take the Defensive Shooting
Fundamentals (DSF) Instructor course that was being held the
day after the Training Counselor Certification. I couldn’t say “No”
to THE Michael Martin, so I agreed and signed up. I also knew
that I needed to sharpen my skills and have more advanced
training to offer my students.
When I arrived to the DSF Instructor training, my instructors for
the next three days were Klint Macro and Justin Peters. They were
both very knowledgeable instructors. It was intense training
learning new verbiage, drills, and fundamentals that I had not
been taught in all of the years training in Law Enforcement.
Klint had a way of teaching that really struck me. I wanted to
be able to articulate myself in a way like he did. He was patient
and made sure that we understood “the why” behind all the
movements and drills.
the Music and Film Industry as a Freelance Producer/Engineer/
Sound Mixer/Sound Designer and later as an Instructor at the
LA Recording Workshop. It was at this time he began working in
the film industry as an on-set Sound Mixer. Klint has hundreds of
album and movie credits to his name. Currently, in his spare time,
Klint operates his business, Cobblesound Recording Company
(www.cobblestudios.com), in New Kensington, PA.
During his time in Los Angeles, Klint was introduced to NRA
Training and received his first NRA Instructor Ratings. Recognizing
the calculated double standard in the Entertainment and Media
Industry, Klint began to learn how to navigate the Anti-Gun waters
of Hollywood, and debate and educate our largely ignorant (as to
the world of firearms and responsible gun usage) fellow citizens.
