Reputable TX Shooting Schools

[Ragnar Danneskjold]

I will be moving to the DFW area when I return from Afghanistan next month, and I'm researching possible shooting schools. I would consider myself moderately skilled and don't want to just go to a mediocre class. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for combat pistol and carbine classes, preferably that train tactics similar to what Magpul has popularized, i.e. "workspace" for both pistol and rifle reloads, etc.

Highly recommend these two guys, though I have not taken a class from them, yet.

And Paul Howe is just down the road as well. I hear he knows a thing or two about shooting.

Not in Texas, but Gunsite offers (or used to) their 250 pistol and their carbine class free to vets 1x per year. I went to the pistol class, it was great. Now would be a good time to check into it and get signed up, they are in the fall.

I signed up while in Iraq and took the class after getting home.

www.tacproshootingcenter.com is located in Mingus about 1 hour west of Fort Worth. It is run by Bill Davidson, who is a former Royal Marine Commando who worked with the SBS. The range facilities are some of the best in the DFW area.

I attended a class ran by Scott Caylor of learn2shoot.net
I have nothing to compare to. But I was very pleased with his instruction. Very easy going. Non pressured environment. His curriculum was easy and fun to digest and I felt like we got plenty of trigger time. I would not hesitate to go back. He teaches both pistol and carbine classes.
