This is the Flagship course that originally set Cold Bore Tactical, LLC apart from all others in Central Texas!

We will first complete the 4-6 hours of classroom training that is mandated by the Texas Legislature, conduct the hands-on marksmanship proficiency exam (not included within the 6 hrs classroom instruction), and immediately following the issuance of your LTC-100 certificate we will conduct additional range training that will prepare you with the base-line skills you will need once you receive your LTC. This additional range time will not be reflected on your LTC-100; this is beyond the scope of the DPS LTC program, and is not mandatory.  Consider it my service to you. 

Please note the high round count; we will fire much more than the standard qualification course.  This, and the small instructor-to-student ratio with a professional instructor, is what sets my course apart from all the others.  Feel free to compare this with those instructors who will offer you a weak course, offer to sell you products, then invite you to come back to learn how to carry concealed under the guise of an advanced course.  I do understand that my prices are higher than most other LTC courses; however, I ask you to compare the level of competence most other instructors will provide you, attitude-free, in preparing you for a potentially life-altering decision to carry a concealed firearm.  I wish I could say differently, but it is disheartening to hear my clients recount stories of taking their Texas CHL / LTC class somewhere else and then make the mature decision to not carry because they felt ill-prepared to safely carry & employ their pistol if needed.  I not only have a lifetime of experience in teaching basic thru advanced marksmanship techniques around the world; I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice graduating Magna Cum Laude. While I'm nowhere near being a lawyer, this does provide you with the unique opportunity of learning from someone who will not merely read from the penal code and click on Power Point slides, but rather from someone who can explain what it means in layman's terms.  And finally, this rate is for INDIVIDUALIZED Instruction; that is, a one-on-one, couples, or small private-group discrete setting, NOT for a large public group setting.  If you would like to schedule a small group session (2-6 of your family or friends, or a corporate training event) I can easily accommodate that as well.

Course Outline

  •   This course has both an academic and hands-on portion, with a PASS / FAIL written test and a PASS / FAIL range proficiency test. I prefer to conduct the class over a two-day period, as this allows me to cover some additional material and use a hands-on approach to dry fire instruction in the classroom.  I can conduct the LTC class in a single day if you prefer, however you will not have time to benefit from the extra classroom & range training.

    The following is a typical Two-day Cold Bore Tactical LTC Course Training Schedule:
Topics annotated with an asterisk (*) are taught using a hands-on methodology, which has repeatedly been the item that truly sets this training apart from all other CHL / LTC courses in Central Texas. I'll coordinate with you prior to the class date to ensure that I have the appropriate caliber of dummy rounds / Snap Caps on hand to support your hands-on learning experience in the classroom & at the range.
