Super people, super talented, and know what they're talking about. I trust them with my life!

Wife was scared of firearms. After a weekend class, she wasn't. Mission accomplished. Then at her insistence, we had a consult with the home security team. Consummate professionals. They gave us a private class on threat assessment, surveillance, counter surveillance measures and a few other things we had questions about. They offer IR sweeps, FLIR sweeps and night vision sweeps of the area surrounding your house and neighborhood to find hidden/game cameras. Once the initial clearing is done, They also offer weekly maintenance sweeps for clients' peace of mind. A whole neighborhood takes them less than 10 minutes, so it's not expensive. There's a ton of other stuff they offer that I won't go into, but if you have questions, call them. They are experts on everything security/investigation related. read more

I'm a gun phobe as you can tell by my avatar....oh wait, you CAN'T tell?? Well, that's only because these big-hearted special ops, security teddy bears helped me overcome my fears at a cancer charity fundraiser. They selflessly volunteered their time and expertise (and weapons) on a Sat afternoon, a rainy, muddy Sat afternoon to teach noobs like me how to handle a weapon. They let us pick from an array of their own guns for us to shoot. Being gun ignorant, I'll just say they had big guns, little guns, automatic rifles, AK's, handguns with silencers and long range sniper rifles. Yeah, these are the guys you want to have on speed dial for the Zombie Apocalypse. I'll be honest. I had very little intention of shooting a gun while there. I'm not only scared of them, but the whole idea of shooting a bunch of rounds at a target kinda bores me. I never was into video games either. My only intention for my donation was to get my picture taken with a big gun. But, reconsidering that I might never have another opportunity to shoot a big gun, I nutted up, so to speak. I randomly picked an automatic rifle that they said had little kickback and was escorted thru the slippery mud by BSG man Levi. He carefully told me how to hold the gun properly, leaning into the stock, sighting my target and then taking off the safety and firing. I decimated that little paper man with head shots, chest shots and groin shots (don't EFF with me!!). And while I don't think I'll be volunteering for the army, it was pretty exhilarating feeling that little power rush that comes from handling a powerful gun (insert penile joke here). Levi even thoroughly instructed me on how to pose with a gun for my picture. Safe to say, he knows all things guns. Hubby got to shoot Bill's huge long range sniper gun, with bullets the size of a Snickers bar. He was able to get some very accurate shots from 75 yards under Bill's tutelage. Hubby definitely had gun envy. I don't know how many charity events these guys do, but I felt like this was one of the most unique fundraisers I'd ever been to and a lot of money was raised for a good cause as even with the inclement weather, folks poured in to shoot big guns. Looking at their website, they do offer team building events tho which could be fun, although if I did this with MY co-worker, I'm sure there'd be a Dick Cheneyesque "accident". Hmmm, maybe I should look into it..... read more

Up until recently, I had never handled a firearm and as a native Texan that just seemed wrong. A friend took me out to the range and wouldn't you know it; I was hooked! Since these are guns we're talking about and not just another hobby that I can pick up from reading tons of articles online (ask me how to brew kombucha and you can too!) I wanted some professional instruction on the matter. I found out about a defensive pistol course offered by the BSG through the Austin Sure Shots. I wasn't sure if it was the right course for such a newbie, but it turned out to be the perfect thing. The day long class started with the basics, like stance, and added one new technique each time we'd line up to practice. They are committed to helping you get comfortable and proficient with a firearm and safety is their first, second, and third priority (and probably every odd number after that). By the end of the day I could shoot out the bull's-eye, clear jams and reload quickly. I'm still working on my basic skills, but when I'm ready for another round of training I won't look any further than the BSG. Everyone I've met with their group has been so great and helpful. Classes are just one of the many services that the BSG offers, but I know they'll shoot ya' straight, whatever your needs may be. read more

I've been around firearms my entire life, but didn't really get into shooting or even interested in owning one myself until a few years ago. One thing I remembered from my concealed handgun (CHL) class was that becoming and remaining comfortable with any weapon requires constant learning and practice. So when the opportunity to take "Defensive Pistol 1" appeared on my Facebook wall (thanks to my connection with Austin Sure Shots), I jumped at the chance! First, I simply cannot say enough about Kent Morrison (BSG) and Niki Jones (Austin Sure Shots) -- the fearless leaders of our class. Even though I was aware that they were both extremely knowledgeable and passionate about ... well ... everything related to firearms, training, coaching, learning, protection, defense ... (you get the point), I walked away from DP1 with an even greater admiration for their abilities and desire to share their knowledge with others. Second, the limited class size was just perfect and provided a superb opportunity to receive the right amout of constructive criticism and practice. (As a strong proponent of applied techniques, I believe that hands-on training is the key to retention.) I also enjoyed being able to watch my fellow learners and participate in the peer-coaching activities. Not only did I become better at identifying my own strengths and weaknesses, but I was able to hone in on the pros and cons of others who were in the same boat. The environment was relaxed in the sense that I felt comfortable with my instructors and the rest of the ladies in my class, but formal enough that safety was NEVER on the back burner. Third, the information was presented in a very logical order, and we were allowed to work on specific techniques without worrying about whether we hit a certain spot on the target. Being able to build upon skills in a layered manner makes it easier to remember -- much like building a house on a foundation makes it easier to keep standing. :) All in all, I had a terrific day! I cannot wait to participate in future BSG courses! If you have ever seriously thought about learning about to operate a firearm, have your CHL, are considering your CHL, want to keep up your skills, or just want to get together with a fun group for some good ol-fashioned educated practice ... click on over to BSG and check out their upcoming courses! You will NOT be disappointed! read more

I became acquainted with BSG through the Austin Sure Shots. Kent and BSG are firm supporters of the Sure Shots, providing information and assistance in a straight-forward, no-nonsense, and easy to understand manner. A course in Defensive Tactics was offered, and I immediately jumped on the opportunity. This is the first course I have taken with BSG, and it will not be my last! BSG's Defensive Tactics is a 5 hour course that involves discussion around a defensive mindset, practical application, talking through your personal "nightmare" scenario and ways to either avoid or get out of it, and finally reviewing some of the penal code specific to defending oneself or a third person. I have taken other self-defense type classes before, but nothing like this. The difference is the sincere commitment to teaching one to remain safe. This is not a "go through the motions" class, and it is worth every penny. I have been replaying options and scenarios in my mind since Sunday's class. All of my girlfriends that I've discussed the class with are interested in taking it! This class is well worth your time and money to learn some techniques that could very well make a huge difference in your life and well-being. After all, the bad guys don't work around YOUR schedule. read more

I really wish there was a 6 star option. This review pertains to my recent 3hr private lesson with Kent Morrison of BSG..... BEFORE Get out gun, start shooting at target. First shot BULLSEYE. Progressive shots wander and drift. I try to "aim" better with moderate success. Next time at the range the process starts all over. AFTER Stance? check Grip? check Relax shoulders? check Bring gun to eye? check Pad of finder on trigger? check Slow pull? check Release to reset? check Hit target in the zone? check Repeat, repeat, repeat By the end of my lesson I was consistently drilling the target at 15yds and I absolutely positively have the tools to take this to the range on my own the next time and repeat. I highly recommend you take a lesson from these guys...they are awesome!! read more

Niki and Kent put on a private women's self defense course for members of our dog rescue. I participated as Kent's punching bag and although my ego is bruised, it was so very much worth it! The ladies all had a great time and it was extremely educational. 5 stars - AMAZING! read more

My husband and I were so excited to shoot some guns. This was a huge item in my bucket list!! From start to finish the team at BSG made us feel safe. We had so much fun and they educated us on the guns we used that day. Whenever I am in Austin this will be a must. Thanks BSG y'all were awesome!! read more

Absolute professionals. My wife and I took a defensive shotgun and handgun course with Kent and Nicki. Both instructors were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We both got a lot of practical value from our time with them and had a hell of a lot of fun doing it. Would recommend BSG to family and friends with total confidence. read more

I contacted BSG to organize a shooting event for a work group. Kent got back to me quickly and was professional and helpful. He set up the perfect private event, exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend! read more

Simply put: shooting is a skill. Why waste time learning incorrectly...when you can get professional instruction that puts you on the road for success. I took a one-on-one lesson from Kent and highly recommend him. He took the time to learn where my skill level was and taught from there. He didn't talk over me, and I felt a lot more confident with my brand new (out of the box) revolver. read more

Having just aquired my first handgun, I decided to take on some professional training. I've done a bit of shooting in the past, but have always had a "ready" gun handed to me and I lacked confidence in not only fully handling my own pistol, but also in finding correct posture, grip, etc. After hooking up with Austin Sure Shots, I learned about the all day defensive pistol course for Sure Shots members taught by the Blackstone Security Group. What a find! Kent Morrison led a supurb day of defensive pistol basics with a focus on safety. The instructor to student ratio was perfect and everyone had plenty of "trigger time" and one-on-one critique. Everyone agreed that we came away with more confidence and tons of improvement in our stance, grip and sight skills. There was no "posturing" from the instructors like I have seen in other courses. It was all down-to-earth and respectful. The topics were presented in such a way that beginners found them easy to follow and the more experienced students were also gaining knowledge. Could not recommend BSG more highly when it comes to firearms training. I look forward to my next class with them! Thank you, BSG. read more

I recommend BSG's Defensive Tactics course lead by Kent Morrison (BSG) and assisted by Nikki Jones (Sure Shots) in an instant to anyone who wants honest real life experience self defense training. Not only did I take away knowledge to defend myself, but I participated in hands-on tactics to disarm a weapon, get out of multiple compromising situations, and optimal ways to flee from an attacker to safety. By far the most important thing I learned from Kent and Nikki was the importance of the "Never Give Up" psychology in relationship to predatory/criminal psychology. I experienced the benefit from the Q&A discussions that touched on situations I had not thought of without being in a group environment. Five hours may seem like a commitment for one day, but it is well worth the time, and energy spent. Since the class, I have been practicing defense tactics at home. I have become more observant, and trusting of my instincts in my everyday life which in turn have gained peace because I am developing defense skills and becoming prepared. read more
