FAQ’s

  • Yes, for this course we offer Glocks or similar type pistols and only have right-handed gear available at this time. The rental includes the pistol, holster, belt, mag pouches, magazines, and the minimum ammo required for the course. You will still need to have eye and ear protection as well as appropriate clothing.

  • Yes, we have basic eye and ear plugs. You must inform us beforehand or at the time of registration.

  • Because firearms training is unique to each shooter and where their current skill levels are. Having large classes without personalized individual coaching dilutes the attention and quality of the training unless everyone was at the same skill level.

    I keep this course at a 4 to 1… Student to Instructor Ratio.

  • Having attended multiple courses throughout the years, I’ve learned that most instructors tend to have a “blanket approach” to training, in which their curriculum is tailored to what they feel is important and that can be intimidating to a newer shooter. Not having done this my whole life, I recall the scarce resources to find info for the level I was at the time and the difficulty it was for me to catch up in some of these courses. So I developed courses and methods that are relevant to where a shooter is competitively speaking. After shooting over 100k rounds in the past 3 years and meeting thousands of shooters… I’ve seen commonalities to where a shooters deficiencies are as well as understand how to develop a shooter for where they are and where they want to go.

    I keep classes small to ensure that optimal attention is given to all shooters who attend.

  • Protection form the sun is important, I personally where a hat, long sleeve and breathable shirt (like Under Armour), shorts or breathable pants. Sunscreen is very important and drink lots of water

  • Texas weather is interesting because it can be cold and warm in the same day. So we recommend bringing multiple layers of clothing so you can adjust. Its a good idea to bring and keep gloves on until you’re ready to shoot in order to keep your finger dexterity at an optimal level.

  • Depends. Light rain with minimal time of rain, the class will be conducted. If heavy rain is prevalent, then the course is cancelled and will be rescheduled. We’re good at communicating these well in advance and will inform you if there are any concerns

  • All payments are non-refundable unless the class is canceled by us… we will then offer a refund or we can reschedule for the next class.
