If you are not proficient we offer a private 2-hour course guaranteed to improve accuracy, pistol safe handling fundamentals, builds confidence, demonstrates tips/high scoring techniques. This class is very popular as it is offered separate and apart from the LTC course. LTC classes are not intended to train students how to shoot a firearm, hence the 2-hour private training class. The qualification test portion of the course is required by the State of Texas to demonstrate your ability to safely and properly handle and shoot a handgun.
