The Basics
Completely new to shooting? Take your very first shots with us! Perfect for new shooters just looking to have a good time on the range! First Shots is a 30-minute class designed to make brand new shooters, or those who have not shot in a long time, feel comfortable and safe to enjoy their time on the range.
Handgun 101 is THE BEST PLACE TO START! It is the first complete basic course in Firearms University. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of handgun shooting and safety. The fundamentals taught in this course will set you up for success as a shooter. Although this is called a basic course, the majority of shooters benefit from starting here.
Academy Prep
Now that you know how to use your firearms, it’s time to become familiar with the legalities involved and gaining an understanding the owning a handgun. It is your responsibility to know the laws and regulations related to carrying a gun. This course is designed for Constitutional Carry or the License to Carry.
This course provides the education and assessment necessary to obtain a Texas License to Carry. It includes the four hours of instruction as mandated by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Students are required to pass a firearms proficiency demonstration and a written exam.
The logical next step from 101. In this course, we incorporate the use of a holster and will cover more advanced topics like performing reloads and handling malfunctions. This is a prep course for the Academies in Firearms University. Once you have completed this course you can join us for our Action Pistol Night and practice drawing from the holster here at Texas Gun Club.
The Academies
The first of the Academies here in Firearms University. This six-week academy will cover the fundamental skills in depth for more advanced training and subsequent Gunslinger and Gunfighter Academies. All of these skills and drills will be performed from the holster. A qualifying course of fire will be shot at the end of the course and range time practice drills will be provided to ensure your best success in moving along the path to proficiency to Gunslinger
The Gunslinger Academy is a six-week, advanced skills-based training academy focusing on adding tactical concepts to the skills learned in The Marksmen Academy. Some of these tactics include movement, maximizing shooting efficiency, shooting in low light, and shooting under stress. These important tactics added to fundamentals are crucial to get you ready for The Gunfighter Academy.
The Gunfighter Academy is the pinnacle of the path to proficiency in Firearms University. In this six-week, tactics-based academy, shooters will develop tactics like movement and multiple target engagement, unorthodox shooting positions, shooting in low light, using barricades, and moving through doorways and corridors, as well as advanced methods of concealed carry. Those who complete The Gunfighter Academy and pass the qualifying course of fire have something to feel proud of.
