About Us
Master Sergeant (Retired) Mike Schaeper brings over 30 years of experience as a trainer to the table, with 24 years of military service. Mike retired from the 1st Special Forces Group in April of 2012 with nearly 14 years in the Special Forces Regiment, with duties ranging from a Special Forces Engineer Sergeant, Special Forces Assistant Operations & Intelligence Sergeant, SFODA Team Sergeant, SF Company Operations Sergeant, Group Operations Sergeant, and as NCOIC of the 1st Special Forces Group Sniper Committee.
Mike has trained, and served with, some of the finest troops in the world. He has returned to re-establish his roots in Texas and is now offering multiple courses to the civilian, military, and Law Enforcement communities. His abilities as an instructor are unmatched in the civilian arena, and over the years he has developed the patience to mentor all skill levels to progress from the fundamentals to advanced topics. He regularly teaches in the Austin, Tx area, and has travelled as far as Harris & Galveston Counties to provide instruction. As such, his reach into Travis / Hays / Harris / Galveston / & Brazoria counties provides their combined populations of over 6-million residents (or 23% of the State of Texas...) with access to world-class marksmanship that is modularized to fit their specific needs.
Mike's Philosophy is simple; mastery of the fundamentals will allow progression, therefore every lesson will reinforce the basics. The speed and accuracy required for practical applications are always balanced with a solid grounding in the fundamentals, and well-thought out drills are utilized to enhance both.
