Reviews

Shane - THIS is the best training you can get as a civilian. Will they push you-YES. Will they tell you what you’re doing and how to correct yourself-YES. Will they push you in stress shoots and show you WHY your physical health is SOOOOO important-YES. I’ve been through quite a few shooting schools where we shoot ,do the drill and mark our targets and walk back. This isn’t Tactical Cowboy! Your shots will be scored and YOU as a shooter will be evaluated and the day progresses. Also, don’t think about walking, you run. You run to your firing line to your target and back keeping your stress levels up and forcing you to adapt to new situations and applying the techniques they are showing you. Best class there is. Period.

Braxon - Great class. Devin provides clear and effective instruction allowing the student to to absorb all the information needed. Also has a great talent of teaching the student no matter their experience

Chris - I've attended a few of tactical cowboy's training courses recently and couldn't have asked for a better environment! From the direction and training to the personable feel these guys are second to none. They have pushed my limits on all fronts and make it seem effortless. I would recommend any caliber marksman come and train with them and i guarantee you will take a wealth of knowledge away with it.

Hunter - My third time training with Tactical Cowboys and it is always great. The Static and Mobile Carbine class is the perfect way to sharpen and refine all the shooting fundamentals. Rigorous and challenging - it is a great check up for experienced shooters and an eye opener for anyone who carries a carbine.

Seeing Devin run the tests first is in inspiring and there are lots of tips to pick up.

The instructional staff are all real-world operators with years of experience- they know what they are talking about and are more than willing to share everything.

Highly recommended for any rifle owner.

Matt - Devin is an advanced shooter with a lot of combat experience. He doesn’t let his knowledge of tactical shooting overwhelm you. He explains technique simply and clearly. He also knows how to make a range day fun and challenging. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or an expert marksman he can make you better and faster. Not to mention he is a solid dude and fun to be around.

Ethan - TCTS is one of the best shooting training companies in Utah. I've been to several and apart from the knowledge of the instructors, the 'mentorship' spin they put on instruction gives you a more tailored experience. They don't tell you what you should do, they explain everything as what "works for them" and apply it to what works for you. No shooter is the same and this approach allows you to walk away from the class with the ability to perfect what is best for your platform, your body type, and your ability. Additionally, the class I took (Advanced Carbine - Fundamentals) covered more than your typical carbine course and focused on highlighting the abilities of the carbine and what you can be capable of doing with it. Something I have never been able to experience because of range limitations and/or instructor knowledge. At one point I was able to hit C zone steel at 400+ yards with a 1x red dot. You won't get that kind of instruction at most places. But, apart from all of this what I enjoyed most was the class size. Devin and his additional 2 instructors were paired with 8 students. This 1:3 ratio was perfect for each scenario we shot. Someone was always able to watch me do reps and provide feedback for me. I wasn't stuck just shooting by myself hoping the instructor would look/pass by me and provide instruction. I'm at the class to get better, to expose my flaws, to receive 'homework'; not shoot next to a bunch of other people and get feedback every once in a while. And for the price, you won't find anything better.
