Grant was able to accommodate the short timeframe we had and did an exceptional job of planning hybrid training sessions covering the handgun, holster and rifle used by the law enforcement agency to which my grandson is applying. Best safety practices were emphasized along with plenty of humor to make the training enjoyable. If you don't mind the drive to near Waxahachie, your time will be well-rewarded with a true professional providing your training.

Excellent instruction and a genuinely valuable training experience…read more What stood out most was the instructor's deep understanding of movement, structure, and the "why" behind performance not just running drills. The session gave me a clear picture of where my strengths are and what I need to refine next. We worked through transitions, pacing, and confirmation levels in a way that pushed both speed and accountability, and the coaching was thoughtful without being overwhelming. I especially appreciated how adaptable the training was. I brought several different platforms and ran iron sights intentionally, and the instructor met me exactly where I was focusing on fundamentals, body mechanics, and efficiency instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. If you want someone who blends technical knowledge with practical application and creates a professional, positive environment, I highly recommend training here with Grant. Great communication, great energy on the range, and I walked away with clear, actionable homework to keep improving.

I have been at the pool the last 3 weekends (4 Xs total) this Summer and it is truly 5 stars! The check in is super easy. I paid $5 each time (a discount for C.Hill) residents as well as your guest. They do take cash or card which is convenient. The line is never long, really non existent most of the time. Parking is a breeze especially if you get there for open swim which begins at 12 noon. The majority of the lounge chairs are shaded and you don't have to worry about anyone taking/moving your belongings as you enjoy the water. The lazy river is extremely clean and well kept and the floaties are in abundance and FREE! Everyone is respectful in the pool! At any given time there can be newborn babies to the seniors and every age in between so being courteous is just as important as having fun! The music is great too! They play EVERYTHING including Spanish songs on Cedar Hill Tunes. There is one lazy river, one slide which is so much fun and never a long line, as well as a larger pool that is wheelchair assessable too. It was in this pool that my BF taught me to swim this Summer so the Cedar Hill Lagoon will forever be memorable to me! They also have about 7 cabanas that you can rent out for your private event. The bathrooms have great air flow and are pretty well kept with no trash on the ground an I definitely appreciated the cleanliness. They also have showers too. The lifeguards are also professional and they appear to have fun too. There is food available if you get hungry. A CH police officer does make his/her round at the pool too so it definitely makes you feel safe an at ease. I hope the Lagoon continues to be a fun, clean, memorable place for my future summers!

When we asked why we weren't informed about this when it happened, or at least before we checked in, they claimed they were "advised to not contact any guests" ???? I tried to be understanding of what they can't control, and move past the lack of kindness from any workers, however throughout my stay here, it only got harder for me. After driving hours, and spending money on gas and groceries, we couldn't just go home. The second we get to the cabin, I spot the lifeless roaches EVERYWHERE. After cleaning up, I noticed the dishes all have food on them and were clearly not properly cleaned. So we again had to clean each dish. The bedroom door was broken off the hinges and wouldn't close, giving us no privacy whatsoever. The tv didn't work at all. Now onto the actual lake. We were rightfully angry and disappointed that we travelled to stay in a lake cabin, and we weren't warned about the sewage leak, however we tried to make the best out of it and enjoy the view and the nature. This mindset lasted a good 2 seconds before we saw the amount of trash. The piles of trash hidden behind trees and the cans and plastic on the shore was astonishing. The final nail in the coffin was coming back to our cabin to find the walls and ceiling COVERED in tiny bugs that seemed to be coming from the sink drain. We proceeded to try to get rid of them, and brush them off the wall and kill them, however they kept multiplying. We packed up and left immediately after this. The service we received, the price we payed, and the lack of communication we experienced was unacceptable. I don't recommend staying here.

I recently completed my License to Carry (LTC) class, and I can't say enough great things about the experience. Tony, the instructor, was incredibly patient, calm, and knowledgeable throughout the entire course. From the moment the class began, he created an environment where I felt both at ease and confident -- which is so important when learning something as serious and important as firearm safety. Tony answered every question I had with clarity and never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. He went above and beyond by sharing practical tips and tricks for maintaining proper posture and handling a firearm safely and effectively. You can really tell he has a passion for what he does and genuinely cares about his students being fully prepared and informed. His training was thorough and well-structured, covering everything comprehensively both in the classroom and out on the range. I left the class feeling empowered, educated, and ready to carry responsibly. If you're considering getting your LTC, I wholeheartedly recommend Tony's class. It's a great value for what you gain! I would absolutely send any of my family or friends his way -- he's truly one of the best in the field! read more

Tony completely transformed my approach to shooting. Before our one-on-one session, I was a complete beginner with no idea how to properly aim or fire. However, Tony's patient, personalized instruction quickly built my skills and confidence. He has an incredible knack for breaking down complex techniques into manageable steps, ensuring I understood not only the "how" but also the "why" behind each movement. Under his guidance, I achieved nearly a perfect score on my shooting proficiency test--a milestone I never imagined possible. If you're looking to get back into shooting or elevate your current skills, Tony is the instructor you need. His focus on safety, speed, and accuracy makes every session productive and engaging. I highly recommend him to anyone serious about mastering shooting. read more

I brought my own guns and ammunition to shoot, but they have a nice selection of firearms to rent if you aren't a connoisseur ;) There's ear covers and goggles (complimentary and required) if you did not bring your own. It is a pretty "tight" place, but the stalls (4/per room) are spacious enough to shoot and reload. I love the digital target screen that allows you to adjust the distance of your target (see pic). Minus the men folk using the ladies room (put the seat down plz -_- lol ). This place is very solid.

Overpriced, shoddy work at best -- Check prices elsewhere before buying here!!…read more I had a terrible experience at Elliott Gun Co. and won't be returning. I was sold a set of sights for $150, only to find out later they retail for $90. I was told installation would be free, but instead of using a proper sight pusher, Elliott used a hammer and punch, leaving visible scratches on the sights. When he handed the gun back, I immediately noticed the front sight looked crooked. Elliott insisted they were "dead straight" and told me that if I thought they were off, I should go to the range and bring him a grouping. When I asked how he could claim they were centered without using the right tools, he said his "eyes are dialed in" from years of experience. I took the firearm to another gunsmith for a second opinion -- and he confirmed right away that the front sight was crooked and the rear sight wasn't centered either. Between the markup, the poor installation, the scratches, and the dismissive attitude when I raised concerns, this was a complete waste of time and money. I strongly recommend going elsewhere for sight work or anything requiring precision.
