    Owners Condescending Google Response

    I wanted to share my experience here for anyone, especially women or newer shooters who are deciding where to go. During pistol practice, a round became misaligned while loading my magazine. I immediately stopped, raised my hand, and alerted the RSO because I take firearm safety seriously. Instead of calmly explaining the situation, the RSO escalated immediately, told me my gun was "broken," said it was extremely dangerous, and instructed me to leave the firing line and go to a gun smith, without attempting to resolve it or providing any reassurance. You would think that I just armed a bomb. At the front desk, it was later confirmed that the firearm was not damaged and that the round had already fallen free, which made the earlier response feel excessive and confusing. What made this worse was the owner's public response to my Google review, which was dismissive, condescending and tried to gaslight the situation, instead of acknowledging how intimidating the situation was, the response reframed my experience as something I should be "pleased" about and implied incompetence on my part. He also tried to say the RSO was watching over 9 lanes with 18 people but there were only 2 other people there shooting in the entire range. Overall it was a really terrible experience and upon checking others reviews It seems the owner has a pattern of responding defensively. I would not recommend this range unless you are okay being talked down to and treated as incompetent. It did not feel women friendly and I will be making sure I take all my friends to any other local range. No one should be punished for trying to learn and asking for help.

    Their customer service was very poor. The man who "greeted" us at the door needs a lesson in manners and decency.

    I moved to Texas from Florida few months ago and needed to switch to a Texas LTC from my Florida…read moreConcealed Weapons Permit that was expiring soon. 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.

    Excellent coaches. I like the drill format (for ex. Drill one - is fundamental, you'll remember…read morethat when one is under pressure). The staff are highly experienced, competent, and most importantly - patient. I did one that was for couples and it brought us a lot closer. I was pleasantly surprised that they focused on building connection... it was more. Pete made us reflect on how we care for each other, etc. not just "cover and move", and this is how to grapple and break limbs - although mat time was excellent. They know how to make folks (like my date) who aren't comfortable right away with the mats to get there. It's suffocating, growing up wrestling I forget most aren't comfortable there. Anyway, highly recommend and we need to be going at least twice/yr. My go-to gym is Gracie Barra north so it was awesome switching it up. Thanks fellas

    My first comment is the training is too expensive. I attended protector 1 training course which I…read morethought was for beginners and novices. The combative training is entirely too intense. There were a few in my class who sustained injuries. For myself, I received an injury to my left hand and injuries to my right hip and both shoulders. The protector one and it's description on the website is extremely deceptive. This course is for intermediate or advanced students who are versed in ground, fighting, jujutsu, or wrestling. I will never attend another Sheepdog Response school. I don't attend training to get injured.

    This is our second year at Sterling and I can't say enough good things. All of my children's…read moreteachers have been above and beyond anything I could ask for. I know that the administration prays over every child and every teacher before admitting and hiring & placing the students, and it shows! There have been some changes made with staff and curriculum over the last year & the school went from great to even better in my opinion. There is a HIGH amount of parent involvement, so if that is not what you're looking for, then this is not your school... but we love that aspect. My children are receiving a higher level classical Christian education at a comparatively more affordable price & I could not be more grateful.

    Our experience with Sterling Classical School has been incredibly disappointing and, honestly,…read moreexhausting,for both students and parents. The part-time structure creates a significant mental strain on students. They are expected to manage a heavy academic load largely on their own, with minimal guidance or support. If your child cannot independently master material--and if you, as a parent, are not prepared to essentially take on the role of a part-time teacher, this is not the right environment. Communication is one of the biggest failures. Multiple follow-ups with teachers and even the dean, Ms. Taggert, often go unanswered. There is little accountability, and concerns frequently go ignored unless escalated to a larger group. For example, an entire class was failing a course this year, and it wasn't addressed until multiple parents brought it forward collectively, and even then, the administration seemed completely unaware. Student life is practically nonexistent. The workload leaves little to no room for social interaction or participation in outside activities, including sports. It's an isolating experience that can take a toll on a student's well-being. There is also a noticeable lack of stability within the school. Teacher turnover appears high, likely due to low pay, and student retention is equally poor. That alone should raise concerns. Another issue that stood out during our time there and even during tours is the lack of attention to basic standards. Hygiene concerns among students go unaddressed, and classroom environments can be unpleasant, which is surprising and concerning for any school setting. Finally, a serious warning: do not pay upfront. Families are locked into tuition with no refunds, and there have been issues with transcripts being withheld, adding unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation. There were many red flags that, in hindsight, we wish we had taken more seriously. If sharing this helps even one family avoid the same experience, it's worth it.
