Who is this for?
You have already learned to shoot. You own a gun, know how to load/unload, aim and fire. You can hit the broad side of a barn, but would like to refine those
skills somewhat. Sure, you can just practice more, but you know that there are tricks to becoming a marksman that are not intuitive, and will likely take you months,
or even years to learn on your own. One private lesson will cost you less than the ammo you will save.
Description:
This is a private session, scheduled whenever we can get together. We meet at a private range, test some gun-handling and safety skills, then go over the entire
shooting platform.
You learn what helps or disturbs accuracy, and how to diagnose a problem. After practicing shot groups at increasing distance, we do some drills, like one-handed,
weak-handed, or the famous "Dot Torture".

Revolver
Who is this for?
From the early 1900s until about 1986, the primary sidearm for law enforcement was the double-action revolver,
in various lengths. The semi-automatic pistol had been available since 1911, but because the conversion from one to the
other is difficult, law enforcement was slow to adopt the semi. Some agencies continued to use revolvers until after the turn of this century.
You either own a revolver, and have discovered it is harder to shoot than you expected, or you would like to find out if
this is a suitable option for you.
Description:
This is usually limited to two persons, or may be a private session, scheduled whenever we can get together. We meet at a private range,
test some gun-handling and safety skills, then spend time on drills to assist in learning and controlling the revolver. Unless you
are bringing your own gun, we would focus mostly on .38 Spec and .357 Magnum, as those are most common.

Defensive Shooting
Who is this for?
You are a reasonably experienced shooter, not a beginner, but not a competitive shooter. Most of your
experience is at a commercial range, standing in one place, shooting at one target. You would like
some more aggressive experience in tactical defensive shooting. A holster is not required, but if you
have one, we can train with it. This is usually scheduled on demand.
Description:
Class size is 1-2. We meet at a private range, discuss the safety rules, then go through a series of
drills of increasing difficulty, like rapid fire, draw-and-shoot, flash-picture and point-shooting,
multiple targets, steel, timed drills, shooting on the move.
Handgun Safety Course (Online)
Who is this for?
You need a certificate to prove you have had a Handgun Safety Course.
This IS NOT VALID for the Texas LTC.
Description:
This is an online course (46 minutes), with a short test. After passing the test, you can
pay $50.00 by credit card, and print out the Certificate right away.
Shotgun 101
Who is this for?
You are interested in the
ultimate home defense solution, where a high skill level is not required. Maybe your interest is
on behalf of a wife or girlfriend who might not spend much time training with a handgun.
Description:
Class size is usually 1, but may be more. We meet at a private range, learn about shotguns in general, but focusing on the tactical pump-action used by police.
We cover safety, loading and unloading, the wide variety of ammo types available, and the ones commonly used, and practice with dummy rounds.
Then on to the range, for live fire and combat reloading.
AR-15
Who is this for?
You are interested in America's favorite rifle, the AR-15. You may have one already,
and would like to better understand optics options, or how to clean it, or you may just be
thinking about getting one, and are confused by the various features.
Description:
This is usually a private session, scheduled whenever we can get together. We meet at a
private range for some indoor training, then on to the range for live fire. This class includes an
introduction to these rifles, operation, cleaning, and shooting, as well as sights and optical devices.
Contact us directly for this.
Church Security Team Training
Who is this for?
Church members or staff who volunteer for on-site security.
Description:
Advanced marksmanship and gun-handling training for volunteer security at churches. Participants are
expected to already have a valid Texas LTC, a concealable handgun of suitable caliber, and a holster.
Ladies Training
Of course, ladies are welcome in any of the classes above, but sometimes they are more comfortable
in a ladies-only class. I am glad to schedule such a class, but generally only do so when I know that
several people have requested that. If that is something you would prefer,
let me know. If I know several
people are queued up, I will schedule a ladies class. In any case, the "Learn to Shoot" class tends to be mostly women, anyway.
