I love being able to talk and joke about a range of things ( pun intended ). The range is clean and ran with safety as a priority. The only issue I have is my fat ass feels like I'm about to break their chairs. That's more a "me" issue though. I think I will only shoot here as I feel like family when I am there. Even if by family, I mean that cousin you tolerate. :). Seriously though, this place is an awesome place to send rounds down range. Highly recommend!!!!

One of the range hands looked to be 20 at best. Young enough to be our kid. Anyway, he kept asking about my gun case because I had a .40 sitting in it and not at the shooting area. I had explained to him I wanted to shoot it, but they didn't have .40 ammo. He didn't like that my case was open with the gun inside. He asked my friend to close my case which my friend did. I finished going through my two mags, went back to our area and noticed my case closed. My buddy said, "The kid was nervous it was opened and asked me to close it". No big deal, all good. Except, we were asked to leave by another range employee because he didn't like us referring to the other guy was "the kid". There was no harm intended. We weren't being derogatory, it was simply a description, the young man could have been our kid so my friend referred to him as ". The kid ". We were kicked out because of that. It won't hurt them, it won't hurt my friend, and it won't hurt me....but he nor I will return. I get safety issues. I get hate speech, but this was ridiculous

I recently moved to Texas and wanted to get my License To Carry (LTC), so I did a brief search on…read morethe interwebz and lo and behold I found this place near my apartment, so I signed up! First let me say that I am new to this whole process and relatively new to firearms. I shot basic qualifications in the Air Force but nothing too crazy and I've only really shot with friends at a few ranges. So aside from wanting to get my LTC, I also wanted to learn "the right way" in general, and this company exceeded my expectations. First, the class is a one day thing, so you don't have to go back on any other days, it's a one-shot (see what I did there?) deal. I initially signed up for a class on a Friday, and it was cancelled due to extreme rain. However, they offered a $10 discount to reschedule, which was a nice gesture. So I rescheduled for a Sunday and had better luck. Also, they have classes on weekdays and weekends to fit your schedule, so that was also nice. The instructors, Phil and Cesare, are both excellent. They are both active duty police firearms instructors ans have over 20 years of teaching experienc. The class was fairly small, only 18 people. I've read of some other companies that have much larger classes, but I prefer smaller and it made for a friendly environment. The class consists of two portions, the range and the classroom. The range portion is actually a lot of fun and the instructors are 100% safety oriented and they explain everything in great detail as well as instruct you step by step on your qualification. You can also ask any and all questions and they will answer and help you. The classroom portion is extremely informative in many subjects. The instructors walk you through applicable state laws (there are many) and even though the new LTC state requirements are a condensed version of the requirements in previous years, they do a great job covering quite a bit of information. They do so with professionalism and a sense of humor, the kind you might expect from seasoned veterans! One more thing; aside from covering legal aspects of LTC, they teach you psychological aspects and you leave the class feeling informed and also a sense of responsibility. The classroom itself is nice and comfortable, and there are snacks, coffee, water, etc. You pay the initial portion (a deposit) online and the remaining portion at the class with cash, check, or card. They offer a discount for paying by cash or card, which I took advantage of. The class is $89, but I did end up getting $14 off because of the rain and because I paid cash. After the class is completed, they send step by step instructions via email on how to complete your LTC process with the state. Aside from that, Phil is available via cell phone for any questions. All in all a great experience, very professional, very safety-oriented, and most of all I will definitely be back for some of their other courses. Highly recommend.

He said he's been shooting for about 40 years, and his knowledge and expertise is impressive. He went over some basics, and then we did different shooting drills that were much more interesting than just target shooting in an indoor range. His demeanor with me was great and he didn't make me feel like any question was stupid. I highly recommend James and Sidearm training.

I will have my daughter come here as well when it is time for her test. The only negative I would say here is that the appointments on line are not really needed or used. I would recommend calling a couple of days before your test and just verify if they are available. He will let you know if that day works and then you just show up between business hours. The only problem with this is you may have to wait 30 minutes or so (as we did) because we had to wait for a driving class the was just ending. Otherwise great school and will be back!
