Meet Our Instructors . . .

We believe that learning to use a firearm should be fun. We train in a comfortable environment with a very practical, no nonsense approach. We focus on situational awareness and defensive tactics that will help you survive real world encounters. Our instructors are NRA Certified and licensed with TX DPS as Texas Concealed Handgun License Instructors. We love working with students that are new to shooting. Our class sizes are deliberately small so we can take the time to ensure that every student has a great experience. In our classes no student is left behind.
