COURSE DESCRIPTION

This class will be for those that have little to no experience with handguns, those who were not taught correctly, or those who want to freshen up on their weapon-handling skills. We highly recommend taking this class before you take the License To Carry Course if you are not familiar with shooting. After this class, you should have no problems passing the LTC qualification course and will have a newfound comfort around your handgun. Most of the feedback after this class relates to students now feeling comfortable carrying their handguns. And you will have fun.

Subjects Covered:

Safe Weapon Handling
Proper shooting techniques (grip, stance, trigger pull, correct sight alignment)
Accuracy
Malfunction Clearances
Weapon Maintenance

Requirements:

Handgun (I have a few to borrow free of charge, please state on the registration form if you are using mine)
200 rounds of ammunition (If you are using a loaner from me bring 9mm- brass cased ammo only)

Many people think you have to have an LTC before you can even buy or possess a gun and believe this class is the first step. That's not true. This is mainly classroom and the only shooting you do is the 50 round qualification course. We have seen numerous students that do not know how to handle firearms take this class. If you haven't had any formal training please take our Handgun 101 class first. Since we aren't doing this class much anymore, after constituional carry came out, we suggest taking the classroom part online and then signing up for our Handgun 101 class. Bring your online class form to the 101 class and we will get you qualified and you will learn so much more about actually shooting.

This class is the class mandated by the State of Texas and DPS that you have to complete before you are able to obtain a Texas License To Carry. The class will be 4-6 hours long (mandated by DPS). You will be getting quality instruction from active duty SWAT officers.

The easiest course of action for obtaining your LTC is to go online to Texas DPS Handgun License Site and click on “Licensing and Registration” and then follow the prompts. The background causes the longest delay in the LTC process. The sooner you get your fingerprints submitted the faster you will get your LTC. You can schedule an appointment for your fingerprints and pay for everything online through the DPS website. You can take the LTC class at any time, but your license will not be issued until the background is complete and your LTC class paperwork is submitted.

Requirements:

A handgun you are capable of shooting or borrow one from us, free of charge.
(2 magazines if you have it)
100 rounds of ammunition (9mm if you are borrowing a gun from us)
Pen and paper
Sack lunch and/or snacks and water or other hydration drinks

Tactical Trauma Care/ Stop The Bleed Course

With everything going on in the world today, there is a good chance you will have to be your own first responder to save you or the person(s) life next to you. This class isn't just for shooters. You can use this class to save a life in any bleeding injury that can happen to people injured in a severe automobile or mechanical accident, active shooters, or disasters.

Our instructors will teach you in person, using training materials specially developed to teach bleeding control techniques for self-application and/or the person(s) next to you. They will not only instruct you; they will be available to check your movements as you practice tourniquet applications, wound packing, pressure dressing, and chest seals. They will keep working with you until you demonstrate the right skills to STOP THE BLEED® and save lives. Once you have passed these skills tests, you will leave with a STOP THE BLEED® certification and be versed in practical applications.

*This course will be combined with range time and how to apply these bleeding control techniques while under duress and active shooter situations. The first half of the class will be hands-on trauma care with props to mimic real-life injuries. The second half will be on the range shooting while applying these techniques to yourself or others. We bring all the equipment needed for the trauma applications. If you do not want to participate in the shooting portion, that's fine, you can still practice the techniques under the stress of the gunfire.

Subjects Covered:

Tourniquet Application
Wound Packing
Chest Seals

Requirements:

Pistol and approx 200 rounds of ammo (If you are using a loaner from me, bring 9mm- no steel cased ammo) (You can self regulate depending on ammo supply)
Holster (suggested-not mandatory)
Eye and ear protection( prescription glasses are acceptable)
Sack lunch and snacks and water or other hydration drinks

We do private lessons for small groups for any of the classes listed. The instruction is a half-day lesson lasting 4 hours and the cost is $550. That cost will cover up to two students. If you have three or more students the cost will be $250 a student and once over six students, more instructors will be added. Please email or call us to set up an appointment. We try to do these privates during the week and if it's during the summer we prefer to start at 7:00 am in order to beat the heat.
