Subject Matter Expertise

We opened in 1991, before the Texas LTC program existed, and prior to 1996 we were the only school in the area offering firearms training to private citizens. When LTC passed and was signed into law,KarlandPennywere in the first LTC instructor classes DPS ran, and we started teaching LTC courses on the first day. We've trained thousands of students over the past 27 years. Karl Rehn, lead firearms and tactics instructor, has trained with over 60 different top-tier instructors and schools over the past 30 years, including Thunder Ranch, InSights, Tactical Defense Institute, Massad Ayoob Group, Rangemaster (Tom Givens), Paul Howe, Dave Spaulding, Ken Murray (Simunition) and many more), as well as world champion competitive shooters (Todd Jarrett, Max Michel, Ted Bonnet, Kay Clark-Miculek, Jerry Miculek, Rob Leatham, Brian Enos, Ben Stoeger, Robert Vogel, and others). A competitor since 1988, Karl is a Grand Master in IPSC Production division, with experience at the local, state, national and world level shooting many different shooting sports, from IPSC and IDPA to Steel Challenge, 3-gun and Sportsman's Team Challenge. We host many guest instructors each year, carefully chosen to bring our students the most professional, most credible, most experienced, and most skilled trainers. We select those trainers based on documented credentials, not based on name recognition primarily earned by skill at internet marketing (youtube videos, blog posts, forum posts, or online controversy). We have alarge and diverse training team, with male and female instructors, because there are gender-specific issues related to shooting techniques and equipment selection. Our team has a wide range of experience, from training with national level schools, shooting major matches, law enforcement and military experience, martial arts and emergency medicine. In order to keep our skills sharp and our course content up to date, our instructors spend time each year in professional development: ta
