It has been an incredibly enriching experience that excessed all my expectations! The practical exercises were challenging yet empowering! From the fundamentals to advanced techniques, the course covered it all. Not only is Ken knowledgeable, patient, and skilled, but also incredibly passionate about ensuring every participant left with a deep understanding of firearm proficiency along with feeling confident and competent with our skills. Ken goes above and beyond and I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their knowledge and skill in handling firearms. I look forward to future courses/private lessons! Keep up the good work brother!!

While the concepts are easy to understand, executing them proficiently is a whole other story. There are a lot of lightbulb moments in this course. If you can proficiently draw from a holster, I'd recommend this class no matter the background. Comp vs tactical argument is saved for another day because everything mentioned can be applied to both. Also worth mentioning, keep your fly down the entirety of the class and Ken might offer you a discount.

Jeff and his instructors are incredibly professional, knowledgeable and experienced. Anyone who owns a gun and hasn't been to some training absolutely needs to take his classes. For beginners you can literally show up with a brand new gun still in the box and they'll walk you through everything in his Handgun 101 class. For experienced shooters, look at Advanced Handgun, and Carbine classes. I've shot at training courses in CA, NV and here in north TX and Kranz is among the best. Friendly, has great expertise to pass along and you're absolutely walking away more experienced and ready.

I was definitely nervous day of but Damon eased those feelings once we got started. Damon gave us so much great information regarding how to get away from dangerous situations, how to stay alert and aware of our surroundings, what could happen if I was in a bad situation - lots of hands-on training and step-by-step instructions. Damon was easy to talk to, listened intently to our questions and answered them thoroughly with real life examples. I hope I never have to use these newly acquired skills but I know if I'm ever put in a life-threatening situation, I'll be prepared. I HIGHLY recommend his class! I can't wait to take the next one!

Tate gives advice and 'homework' that I can take back to practice at the indoor range and dry firing at home. Thanks to Big Boar I am now 100% confident in shooting with iron sights and in reactive and tactical shooting. It's a bit of a drive to get to to Big Boar but 1000% worth it. I've been shooting for 40+ years and in the last 3 months I have improved exponentially. The joy of shooting has come back to me. Before Big Boar, going to the range was kind of like a dreaded exercise session. Since taking my first session at Big Boar, shooting is fun again as well as a challenge and a self improvement, self esteem reward. I can't recommend Big Boar and Tate enough. Photos show targets from reactive shooting at 10yrds with no optics, 2 shots fired in 0.83 to 1.04 seconds. 3 months ago, I wouldn't even have had a clue or chance of doing this.

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!!!!
