She was great with my wife (a first time pistol shooter) and we tried out 3 different guns. I booked a separate session to try out 2 more and a previous gun to decide on a purchase. Kelsey's teaching approach is exactly what we needed, and practical! Safety, form, real life application and advice in carry methods. We will book more sessions and recommend her to others. If was a lo of fun!

We took the LTC class from Stellar Tactical and it was fantastic! The instructor was very patient…read moreand gave clear instructions during the range portion. At no time did I not fully understand what was expected of me. During the class portion of it she spoke clearly and gave examples for clarification. I was fully engaged during the class portion which is surprising because its fairly dry material. The instructor was able to answer all questions presented in class. It is obvious that the instructor knew what she was talking about. I really enjoyed this class and look forward to taking some of the other classes that Stellar Tactical has to offer.

Jeff's training was spot on - he's a great instructor who keeps things clear and practical. I'm now waiting for my license and can't wait to get back into training with him. Highly recommend Jeff to anyone, whether you're dusting off old skills or starting fresh.

I took the all woman's class and everybody felt comfortable and at ease. They are extremely safety conscious, and you will learn a lot about yourself as well as the laws in Texas.

You can't beat John and Julianna Crowder's approach to gun education. From novice to advanced they…read moretake the time, effort and perspective to make sure everyone gets what they need in order to be successful. I have take both their new shooter and CHL classes. I won't even think about going anywhere else for further work on my shooting skills. Even if you are not a new shooter, I HIGHLY recommend taking their course. Their approach to learning is not just how to operate your gun, proper two-hand grip, obtain sight, and pull the trigger. They give you the experience of what it feels like to shoot single handed, how it feels when a gun jams, how to safely clear a gun jam when possible, how it feels to shoot a target close up (like an assailant who is in your personal space), and many other perspectives you may not think of. Again, you can't go wrong with CAPS. You will not find another team like John and Julianna. As for being a woman shooter, you will not find anyone who will teach you how to handle your weapon like Julianna.

This class completely exceeded my expectations…read more I took the class alone. My significant other got his CHL from another instructor earlier this year, so I was on my own. I couldn't find anything to fit into my hectic schedule, so I simply picked a class that fit into my schedule that weekend. I was really nervous when I showed up. I REALLY lucked out. Stephen was great. I was dreading an all day class of stuffy and boring material. I wasn't bored and was engaged the whole entire time. I learned a great deal and the class was excellent. Highly recommended. His teaching methods really got the material to stick in my head (which is hard for me usually). I also enjoyed side conversations about the subject matter during the breaks. He also really got me thinking about things i've never thought about before. I have a great deal of homework, planning, and further education I need to work on! I will be back to take other classes for sure! I am so glad that I took my CHL class with them and not another instructor.

To be honest, I'm not a very…read moreknowledgeable gun enthusiast , so I took what I knew and incorporated their good advice to find the perfect purchase. I decided on a gun that is great for home defense and for concealed carry. The conversation then moves towards ammunition and accessories which they were also very helpful with. However, before I could purchase a firearm, I had to fill out a form online which is for a background check. Sometimes you get clearance pretty quickly within a matter of minutes, but in some cases, such as mine, I had to wait at least a day or more. Nonetheless, I was still able to purchase it and pick it up later. So whether you are a gun enthusiast or a novice like myself, they can walk you through whatever your needs are. Some photos, included for more insight.

While filling out the required paperwork for the LTC, I found out you could take classroom portion online! There were quite a few options available, so I looked for a local Austin (well, Leander) based business to support. I signed up for the LTC Austin online course to keep myself busy during the current Stay-at-Home order. The courses were thorough and easy to navigate. I really appreciated being able to do it on my own time, rather than sitting in a classroom for 5 hours like I had to do in Florida. It was a great refresher for a lot of basics and coming from another state, I found the coverage of Texas specific laws incredibly valuable, having seen many of the signs posted around town already. They have a partnership with Shady Oaks Gun Range in Cedar Park that I plan on scheduling my LTC Proficiency Demonstration with as soon as they are able to start booking them again.
