New course brought to you through our USCCA partnership. This course runs through several real-life scenarios where you will have to decide what actions are appropriate for the threat at hand. You will stand in front a large video and act out your defense plan and make a decision how to react. As a group discussion, we will discuss different options and what we could have done differently. The video below shows a brief synopsis of the course. Learn how different it is when confronted with situations we do not see every day.  Course is $98. Includes lunch and training that will change your view on your defense and how important training is to give you the best possible outcome.

Obtaining a Texas License to Carry or just carrying under permitless carry is just carrying. Knowing when to draw, how to draw using your holster, and knowing how to reload is just as important as knowing how to use your firearm. In fact, not knowing how to draw your firearm and to reload correctly can have major adverse consequences. This course is for beginners, how to SAFELY draw and reload your firearm. We will conduct this course on our outside pistol range. At the end of you course, you will learn to safely draw your firearm from your own personal holster, how to admin reload, tactical reload, and emergency reload. Speed is not taught here, just the mechanics and the safety methods to draw and reload. However, what you learn here will teach you the drills to safely practice becoming more efficient and this quicker. Course is $75.

Handgun 101 course is not just your learn to shoot course. We start at the very beginning with how to select the right handgun for you. Everyone wants to give their opinion to you but you want to make your own decision as this is your security and safety. We then discuss the safety rules in handing your handgun and will provide drills so you can build the confidence to carry or handle your firearm. We discuss the working components of the firearm, what makes it tick. We talk about ammo types and which ammo is used at the range and several different defensive ammo types. We talk about use of force, both non-lethal and deadly force. What do you do before, during and after a defensive situation. What happens when the police show up, what to expect.

We use a virtual range inside the classroom to instruct firearm handling, grip, stance, trigger control and safety before we go to the range. We use SIRT laser training pistols and have different models that reflect the weight and feel of the real handgun. 

Texas Defense & Firearm Training and the USCCA want you to be the most responsible firearm owner in your home and on the street. We feel the best way to get there is through thorough training.

The Situational Awareness Course provides skills and information to make you more aware about your surroundings and detect behavioral anomalies in others so as to detect potential bad situations. The military and police use this everyday in their profession and now it is available to everyone. Situational awareness is learning the behavioral and social acts of people and being able to detect potential threats before they even act. Gaining extra seconds to minutes is the difference between escaping and having to fight for your life. This course is designed for ages from 18 and up. If you are one that stares at their phone in public, walk alone with ear buds in their ears, walk alone in dark areas alone, this course is for you. We will dig deep into situational awareness and the benefits of being aware of your surroundings. We will also talk about threats, and how bad people use situational awareness to hunt their prey. Most people use situational awareness and have no clue they are using it. Example is your waitress or waiter, have you ever started at them for just a second and they come to your table and ask you if you need anything. We will be real and show examples of no awareness to those who are aware. Register for this course as a parent and you can bring your teen or significant other for free.

This course includes the actions from the time a medical emergency happens to the time EMS and first responders arrive on the scene. Focuses on life saving steps such as controlling bleeding, strokes, heart attacks, broken bones, heat stroke, and diabetic reactions. This course is good for everyone from hunters to babysitters. The course comes with a fundamental of first aid book and includes knowledge to do basic first aid steps we teach in this course.
