    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.

    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.

    I wanted to get my LTC and Mike helped me with that. My wife and I have shot guns before but we…read morenever had any kind of training. Mike is very patient and gives very clear instructions on how to safely hold and shoot guns. I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone looking for LTC, gun safety and shooting training.

    Mike was the best instructor ever. I was completely new to firearms, purchased my gun a while ago…read morebut never shot it (ex-city slicker). I spent around 4 hours training with Mike, and he is legit. I asked a few ex military folks in the community and they all vouched that he is the real deal. Mike also helped me troubleshoot my firearm, as it was not firing reliably. He was patient and very supportive during the troubleshooting process and volunteered to help me research the issue after the training. He also offered to meet me at a gun shop when I decide to pick out a new firearm, to make sure the grip is right for the size of my hand, my current firearm is a no-go because of the narrow grip (wish I would have known that before dropping $1400). I'll be returning to train more with Mike. I feel at ease now with my firearm, and under Mike's wing, I look forward to sharpening my skills so that I can be prepared to protect myself and my family if that day ever comes. Thank you Mike. - Ed in Dripping
