    After years of shooting a wide variety of firearms, I recently attained my LTC and wanted to…read morereceive some formal pistol training to improve my skills and overall competence with with my everyday carry pistol. Overall, this was an amazing experience which has significantly challenged and enhanced my skills. I can't wait to practice what we learned again at the range, as well progress with additional courses they offer. This is no weekend warrior shit. These guys are seasoned professionals who can coach you if your smart enough to close your mouth, and open your ears. Here is more details... I found Texas tactical Training institute on YELP, and while they had no reviews, their information and photos intrigued me to make a call and have an initial discussion. I spoke with Tim over the phone for more than 20 minutes, explaining what I was looking for and what he could recommend. He explained he was a former police officer who was now focussed on offering firearm training experiences for people of all skill levels, at a price that didn't scare people away. Within minutes you could feel his passion coming through the phone, and i was eager to get something scheduled. I shared the idea with a friend and we signed up for a 4-hour 'Intro to movement - pistol' class for the upcoming weekend. We were excited at the idea of receiving some training to improve our skills, but unsure what two 'seasoned' gun owners would be able to learn in just 4 hours. A few days ahead of the training day, we received instructions by email of where to meet the course instructor, and what to bring with us. On the day itself, it was unusually cold...39 degrees in April cold. This elevated the training to a new level, as we were both not prepared or used to shooting in such cold climate. When our hands were not tucked deep into our pockets in a effort to once again feel our fingers, our hands were a little shaky when shooting (or at least that was my excuse on the day.. he he). We started with a short yet descriptive safety brief, and jumped straight into some dry-fire exercises of turning 90 degrees and firing on the 'threat'. That is the word Instructor Dustin used when telling us to engage the target... "Threat". At that moment you would turn the 90 degrees, or 180 degrees, or start moving and shooting from various positions indicated by black circles of spray paint in the dirt that had just been created by Dustin and his his fellow Instructor Brian. Over the course of 4 hours we were introduced to various shooting exercises involving moving and shooting. My favorite phrase of the day (aside from "threat", which meant you were being told to engage the target), was "Push, Plant, Pull", which described your movements from one position to another. The push and planting refers to your feet, and the pull... well you can guess what that is for. We continued learning and practicing through the bitter 39 degree weather, breaking only for a few minutes here and there to return to the truck in an attempt to warm up and feel our fingers again. Dustin was an exceptional coach. He would watch you follow his instructions and offer specific minor changes to your body position, feet position, pistol grip, the elevation of my hands in relation to my eyes, and other small tweaks. All of which felt a little uncomfortable at first, kind of like I was shooting for the first time. However, this was a strong introduction to a new understanding that all my previous experience shooting was from a static position with no accountability of each round pushed through a paper target. I strongly recommend this training to firearm owners of all ages and skill levels. I also strongly recommend the 'intro to movement - pistol' course to anyone with a LTC, or someone looking to improve their skills.

    Very patient instructor. My wife and I took the intro to pistol and rifle class. The instructor was…read morevery patient with the students. He also helped my wife find a pistol that better fit her hands. It was my wifes first time shooting a rifle and by the end of class she was able to hit a target at 300 yards. We would recommend this training center to our friends and family, we will be taking classes here again.

    This training ranch is a hidden gem! Secluded and away from distractions yet close enough to…read moredowntown Marble Falls for a post-training bite and brewski. The country-drive to and from here is beautiful. It's quintessential Texas Hill Country! So when I say hidden, I mean, Jeff or one of his assistants must meet you at the front gate next to FM 1431. From there you'll be escorted up to the training area. You just have to follow Jeff/his assistant up the fire road leading to the grounds. When we met up with him he was driving his UTV. I suggest you drive a vehicle with decent ground clearance on the day of. No need for a 12" suspension lift or anything crazy like that, just ensure you're not driving a low slung vehicle like a sports car during your visit, LOL! Note: The ranch (actually a few ranches) shares a front gate with Hidden Falls Adventure Park. When you arrive at the grounds you'll notice it's next to Jeff's residence. How awesome is that?! Wake up, pour some coffee in a sippy cup, hop on the UTV and shoot a few rounds at some silhouettes or steel before the rooster even sounds the alarm! Wooohoo! I'm not a jealous kind of guy but... Anyhow, yes, Jeff's training was spot on! I won't go into the details. No spoiler alerts here. But like most valuable training you must first learn the basics and fundamentals before the more advanced techniques can be explored. Think of firearms training like a house. If the foundation is less than sturdy, no matter how great the house looks above the foundation, once some rockin' begins, the house will falter. So get the fundamentals mastered to avoid faltering. Besides firearms instruction, he can provide a Texas DPS accredited Texas LTC course. I already had my LTC but my much better half returned to complete the LTC program soon after. BTW: The safety brief and lunch breaks are held in his air conditioned living-room so please be southern-comfort mannered. =) Jeff is a great and patient instructor. That is important especially because folks learn at different paces. Some learn slower than others but that's ok. Heck, I didn't know I was tying my shoelaces incorrectly until I was in my early 30's! No wonder my knots would always come loose, LOL! Have fun y'all but most importantly, be safe!i

    I cannot say enough positive things about Jorge, his facility, and the training I got from him. I…read moream in a wheelchair, and Jorge went WAY out of his way to make me feel comfortable, and to explain the differences in terms of legal responsibilities between a "normal" person (does such even exist??) and someone with mobility issues. He included some suggestions for defense that I had not even considered, believing (mistakenly) that they were illegal. He provided me with resources for materials and services which complemented the training, and made sure I understood how and when to use them. He was patient and answered questions completely. You may have complete confidence that you will understand your rights and responsibilities when you leave. I do think, however, that he was a little surprised that an old, fat guy with one leg in a wheelchair could black out the X ring with a puny little 9mm in less than 20 rounds.

With his advice, I was able to find a handgun with which I'm very comfortable. As a woman, I appreciated that Jorge did not patronize me or sugarcoat real-life issues to consider and prepare for.

    My son (18) and I both took Mr. Davis's LTC class. I am by no means a gun guy. Neither was my son…read more So it was with a little apprehensiveness that I signed us up for this class. First, let me talk about the classroom venue. It is a well lit, clean conference room. It was like any training room you may have been in for any sort of professional training. It had a break room, bath room, etc. Comfortable chairs and everything you would expect a normal classroom setting to provide and was located in a state office building. The class is incredibly informative. Mr. Davis presents the information in a very easy going manner and encourages any questions so that you do not leave with any misunderstanding about the gun laws in Texas. For example, why can't you carry at the post office? He will tell you. What signs do you need to look for outside a business? He will show you. The laws have changed recently and his content reflects the latest changes to carrying a concealed handgun in this state along with any reciprocity concerns you might have if you travel outside Texas with a handgun. The class runs about 4 hours and if there were a lot of questions I could see it could run a little long but we were not in a large class so only a few questions. The range portion of the class takes place at the Austin Rifle Club. It's a 20 minute drive from the classroom location. My son and I caught lunch on the way and had plenty of time to get there. We were blessed with beautiful weather for an outdoor range. Mr. Davis will, if you don't already own a handgun, provide one for you to rent. We took that route. I don't own any handguns at this time so this was very convenient. It includes the ammunition, and he then takes the guns and cleans them afterwards. As I mentioned earlier, I am not a gun guy. My son had an interest and I was looking for a class and instructor that would provide us with the understanding of the law and some instruction on firing a handgun. I had fired one decades ago in the military but that was it. My son never. I just want to say how appreciative I am that I found Mr. Davis. First, you can tell he is "that gun guy" you can talk to. There's no condescension, just a love of guns that translates into his classes. I'm pretty sure he doesn't care what political persuasion you are, it never comes up. All he wants to do is produce informed and responsible gun owners. One moment that stuck out to me, but to no one else was as he was instructing my son on how to fire the 9mm, he saw a smile come over my son's face and could tell that he was really looking forward to this. It was then I noticed that Mr. Davis began giving my son tips and some additional direction on how to stand, aim, fire etc when honestly he could have just gone through the motions and finished up the class and gone home early on a Saturday. It was probably second nature for Mr. Davis, but I saw it. That made me realize that I had chosen the right instructor. If you have never fired a gun before, or an old guy like me that had no idea where to go to get this sort of training for your kids, or someone who just wants a qualified instructor without the pretentiousness and a no agenda presentation to firearms, you cannot go wrong with Clear Shot Austin. It was great, I'll be back for my renewal.

    If you're considering the Hunter Education Safety Course with John Davis - stop thinking and sign…read moreup! Our family did the 4-hour field course together. I was joining my son and husband just to say I did it, but it was honestly very engaging and entertaining! John has a gift for teaching - he weaves in real-life stories that are funny, eye-opening and totally relevant. You can tell he genuinely cares about safety and wants everyone to walk away smarter, more confident and ready to enjoy the outdoors responsibly. The mix of education, hands-on learning and laughs made the time fly by. Even our teen stayed interested the entire time (and that's saying something). We all left with new knowledge, a deeper respect for safe hunting practices, and an appreciation for the ethical care of the environment. Highly, highly recommend this course for families, first timers or anyone wanting a refresher. 10/10 stars - we'd absolutely do it again!

After being on the range a couple of times I was bitten by the bug and knew I was on my way to becoming an enthusiast. I wanted to learn the critical safety rules, basic shooting fundamentals, and what is required to be a responsible gun owner, and I wanted to learn from the best. I also wanted a professional instructor who I can train and skill build with on an on-going basis. I researched heavily and found Mike. Mike is an exceptional professional instructor with outstanding communication skills. He's patient, approachable, easy to talk to -- and just a really nice guy! Mike took me to purchase my first pistol to ensure it would fit my hands properly and that I'd feel comfortable using it. Choosing the right gun matters! I spent a full day at the private range completing the NRA basic pistol course with him. It is an excellent foundational course. Mike sets a high bar and instilled confidence in me, the best part was seeing how much I improved over the course of the day. Next up for me with Mike is shot gun and rifle basics, followed by a variety of other tactical and practical shooting classes and closed quarter combat. If you want the best, go to Mike.
