Learn to Shoot |
| Who is this for? |
Individuals who have never shot a handgun before. You may have an interest in buying a gun, but don't know what type to get, or what the choices are.
Time is a factor, and you find it hard to get to a formal class like those below. This is as short a cut as it gets.
|
| |
| Description: |
This is an "Intro to Pistols", for people with little or no experience with handguns. Class sizes are limited to 7, but are usually less. We meet at a private range,
learn about safety, the mechanics, ammo, and the fundamentals of shooting, then spend an hour in supervised shooting. After one of these sessions, most
people are able to pass the LTC Proficiency, if that is an interest for them. Even if not, it is a good benchmark.

Intermediate Shooting Instruction (Private Instruction) |
| 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, work with a laser pistol, 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, double-taps, multiple bad guys, timed shooting, and (optionally) draw-and-fire.

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. During the test, be sure to
indicate that you need the certificate only, so you get the right one.

|
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. You have, or will buy, a holster
(minimum IWB is acceptable; OWB or shoulder preferred).
|
| |
| Description: |
Class size is 1-4. 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.

Defensive Shotgun |
| 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: |
This is usually a private session, scheduled whenever we can get together. 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.
