I went for my License To Carry proficiency test and it was an easy and very helpful process to rent a firearm and shoot from various distances to pass the proficiency test. Everybody there was patient and informative about each stage of shooting, as well as the portion covering Texas laws. I'd highly recommend them for anybody going to get their LTC or to just take some lessons. read more

If you're in a hurry, the bottom line is I highly recommend Apostles Firearms Academy. My wife and I found Apostles Firearms Academy (AFA) to be professional, knowledgeable, and VERY effective educators of firearms safety and technique. We selected AFA for one License to Carry (LTC) online certification + LTC Proficiency Demonstration (for me) and one basic instruction session (for my wife). The online LTC registration and payment was straight forward without any technical difficulties. The website was well organized and there were no issues with the content, tracking progress, or supporting technology. Austin and Josh met my wife and I at the range at a time that was convenient for us (not their normal working hours) which was greatly appreciated and a sign of their customer service and professionalism. Their range safety, management, and instruction was top notch and made my wife feel very comfortable with her first range experience. I spent 10 years in the US Navy and had the good fortune to have numerous range experiences. Austin and Josh met the mark with their professionalism and knowledge. If you're looking for an effective online LTC provider and/or professional and safe range management and instruction look no further and give AFA a call. read more

Not only he is patient, but he knows a lot about guns, shooting techniques, and he is an absolute professional!

Great Great GREAT experience with Apostles Firearm Academy, I just passed my LTC with them on a Sunday which was more convenient than Saturday, and they are flexible with their schedule, Josh stayed about 30min after the class to give me some tips on how to improve my accuracy... a TRUE PRO!

Had a private lesson with my wife this afternoon. From the first email inquiring about classes to the shooting instruction, these guys provided great communication and couldn't have been nicer. Quality instruction and time well spent. We've already signed up for another class. Highly recommended. read more

My wife and I did private lessons with Josh as well as the proficiency demonstration. Even though I hadn't fired in a long time and my wife had never fired before, by the end of our time there we felt very comfortable firing. Josh was articulate and extremely patient - a fantastic instructor. We also enjoyed the scenery at the range. We'll be back again! read more

The ladies and gentleman at Apostles Firearms Academy were amazing! I was only there for a range test for my License to Carry but I see myself and my wife going to some of their other classes to further my firearm education. Austin Black was the lead instructor and he is very good at his job. I felt safe the entire time. He was commanding in his instruction but not overwhelming which I think is important. You need to feel like your instructor has control of the class but you don't want to feel like you're being yelled at by a drill instructor. Austin does a perfect job of this. After the shooting was over he gave a brief review of the laws and some some situations that a person may come across and he did a great job of that as well. He's a great teacher both on and off the range as were the other instructors. If you are considering taking any sort of class relating to firearms, give Apostles Firearms Academy a shot (pun intented). read more

My husband and I had a great experience training at Apostles Firearms Academy. I had never shot a gun before and was very nervous at first. Josh was very patient and went through all the safety instructions and basics first before we practiced shooting. I can say now that I am more confident in handling a gun. Thank you so much! Can't wait to be back to learn more :) read more

With a focus on precision through a stackable step by step approach, Josh was beyond excellent as an instructor, and his shadow was incredibly helpful by providing tailored personal feedback to insure our success. Josh first layed out the safety essentials we, as a new gun operators, needed to understand proficiently before moving on to live fire. These fundamentals were engrained in us by the end of the lesson through repetitively enacting multiple drills on loading, unloading and clearing a firearm. He further incorporated these basics into the class as we developed to live rounds, and markspersonship. I'm freaking hooked, not because I like things that go boom, but because having a thorough understanding of the fundamentals has given me a confident base to branch out from. They even stayed after to answer questions and insure we had direction to our next point of entry into the firearms world. All of this could not have been done without the excellence of the instruction my partner and I received. These Guys actually freaking care about your development as an operator. Could not recommend more. read more
