Classes and Education

We offer a range of classes to meet your needs, and we will offer these at different times during the month. We will also schedule private classes for groups, call for more information.

*** All classes are taught by certified instructors ***
***NRA instructors are available for private lessons ***

Concealed Handgun Course: For those people that do not have a CHL yet. We generally hold a class every other Saturday from 9 AM - 7 PM (or a little bit later). Please call us to find out the schedule. We will also offer classes at other times if we get a large enough group.

The cost is $160 (this includes the shooting qualification, 9mm ammunition*, photos, and notary - all done right here).This course will include all instruction necessary to obtain a concealed handgun license in Texas. We even serve you lunch, and rental guns are available free if you want to shoot one of ours. Of course, the shooting portion of the exam is also done here. Groups of 10 persons or more will be able to take the course for $140 each. The group fee must be paid in advance and is non-refundable.

NOTE: State regulations regarding fingerprinting have changed. CHL students will need to contact DPS in Austin (512.424.7293 or 512.424.7294 to either: A) start the application process, pay online and get a fingerprint form OR B) contact DPS to get a fingerprint authorization form and pay later.

* We will provide free 9mm ammunition for the shooting exam. If you shoot either 40 cal. or 45 ACP we will ask you to pay the difference between that box of ammunition and what we are charging for 9mm.

Concealed Handgun Renewal Course:
Renewal courses are held on Tuesday evening. The cost is $80. Be sure to call ahead and reserve a space. Please arrive by 6:00 pm. The class begins promptly at 6:15. See the NOTE above regarding fingerprint forms, this applies to the renewal class as well.

Individual Instruction:
This is an excellent way to learn to shoot. Our individual instructor, Jason Knowles, can teach everyone from beginners to advanced shooters. He charges $50 for an initial two hour session, and if you want additional sessions after that they are $25 per hour. Individual instruction is a bargain and the fastest way to become proficient with handguns; you could spend a lot of money on ammunition while you learn the wrong way or hard way, or you could invest a few dollars in learning the right way from the beginning.

Intructor Qualifications

Don't take a course from just anyone! You must have full knowledge of your responsibilites and rights as a firearms owner. Our instructors are highly qualified, and we are pleased to present a brief resume for each of them.
