Strategic Weapons Academy of Texas

I experienced the Tactical Pistol 1 course today at SWAT in Ennis, TX, which is owned and run by Tim Bulot. Instructors were great. Facilities were well set up. Course curriculum was spot on for the 1st self defense pistol course everyone who is or will be carrying a firearm should have - very safety oriented and very practical for the basic skills everyone should have.

I have participated in instruction at Strategic Weapons Academy of Texas both as a student and as an instructor.

The facilities are well maintained and updated regularly.

The classroom adjacent to the handgun range allows for class instructions and demonstrations to be performed prior to actively engaging the new skill on the target range.

Knowledgeable, relevant instructors are patient with new shooters, and motivating to shooters of all levels.

Firearm safety is stressed throughout the entire process and training.

A student will leave with confidence, skills, and a well-earned smile.

I initially went for one tactical pistol course. I was instantly hooked and have now attended 3 of their courses. I definitely will continue. They have fantastic facilities and a great curriculum suitable for all levels. However, it is the instructors that really make the experience. Terry and John are both able to communicate effectively with each student. This enhances the learning experience and makes the courses enjoyable. Thank you!

Recently took their 1st progression pistol course and it was a great experience.
Terry is a great instructor, very knowledgeable and helpful without the "tough guy" or drill sergeant attitude. The other instructors were helpful as well.
The course is very well organized and efficient. They don't waste your time and they make sure each drill has a clear learning objective.
I would highly recommend taking a class from this outfit!

Had a great time in the Tac Rifle class. I was a teacher for 7 years and the instructors are on par with some of the best teaching techniques in education--specifically being able to address everyone's varying skill levels. I know there's a lot of new gun owners out there and these classes are an absolute must to take. The learning atmosphere was safe and highly productive. I look forward to taking more classes.
