Reviews

Steve - I began as a novice gun owner a few years ago. Last year I was smart enough to find Devin. He's a superb instructor in so many ways. He instills self confidence by focusing on the positive aspects of what I'm doing. He's a gifted instructor in that he also points out aspects of my shooting that can be improved or need correction. Yet he does so in a way that inspires me to strive higher rather than simply finding fault. Without exception for the past year throughout my many sessions with him I have improved my handgun skills send knowledge. Learn from the best. Devin is awesome- the way we used to use that word!

Gordon - I’ve grown up around guns, never in my wildest dreams would I imagine how informative a class like this would be! The TCTS crew couldn’t be more amazing. Their open and welcoming demeanor really brings you into the environment. I had folks of all walks in my class. The mentor first mentality really shined through in the 1:2 instructor student ratio so they could curtail training to the individual not just the class! No “tacticool” attitudes at all! I can’t stress how welcoming they are. At the end of the class not only had I improved but it was glaringly obvious the whole group had too. I’ve already signed up for my next class. 11/10 would recommend!

Joe - If you want to learn building blocks to be an expert in using your gun and protecting yourself and family… look no further than the Tactical Cowboy crew. Total killers in providing a great program (I recommend the 1:1 lessons as well)

Geoff - More important than how nice your gun is or how many rounds you have is knowing how to use them! Devin taught us not only how to properly them but also how to use them in scenarios of self defense and home invasion. Spend your money on the best training!

Jacob - Devin is an excellent instructor! He approaches the client at their level of expertise and attempts to push their skills to make them a better shooter. I learned multiple techniques that have helped me improve my gun handling skills and look forward to training with him again.
