The Academies

The Academies at Firearms University is where you get to put the fundamentals and skills you have learned to work. These six-week training academies are progressive and build upon one another. Each academy has a unique course of fire as an end-of-course exam to show your developed proficiency level.

When you go through all three of the Firearms University Academies we guarantee you will feel confident in your ability to handle your firearm, protect yourself, and defend your family.

The Academies begin with the Marksmen Academy, move to the Gunslinger Academy, and end with the Gunfighter Academy. We have even created a basic safety and fundamentals academy for youth with our Blast Camp.

Competitions

Texas Gun Club’s Competition Nights offer shooters, regardless of experience or skill, the opportunity to improve their skills, and learn new techniques with practical defensive handguns and equipment to solve simulated “real world” self-defense scenarios.
