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.

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.

If there are multiple instructors here, ask for Spencer by name. The 4.5 hour class flew by with…read morehis easy-going imparting of knowledge (and wisecrack opinions) of gun laws. He's got all the knowhow of a serviceman along with the affability of a country boy to make class enjoyable. We got a Groupon deal, but it's worth attending at full-price if you're not able to find the deal. Tips: Get there a few minutes before class begins to settle in and find a seat that's close to the open end so you can use the RR or get coffee. Bring a snack to help you through the 6 total hours. Be prepared to travel to Winchester Range in FW for the shooting test. Don't stress about the tests. Practice and pay attention, and you'll be certified before you know it.

The entrance is just to the right of the range. I had a lesson with Brad on drawing from the holster, grip and accuracy ( which was not very good ).

If your going to carry a firearm I believe you really owe it to yourself to be responsible and get trained I highly recommend Proactive Defense

I have been training at VX Marksmanship since 2012 and, as a testament to just how good the…read moreinstruction is at VX. I have taken every class that this facility has offered and participated in almost all of their special events, including an extreme long range shoot where we took 50 BMG and 338 Lapua rifles out beyond 3,000 yards. This is a training facility that places a strong emphasis and learning basic shooting fundamentals to the point where they are reflexive. Furthermore, the curriculum is constantly evolving, which emphasizes the value of retaking specific courses for further learning. I couldn't imagine training anywhere else. As a bonus, the membership program offers discounts on training, some free special events, and even some opportunities for private land hunting. The bottom line is that training at this facility is not cheap, but you are getting a very high quality product. Training with firearms at VX Marksmanship is comparable to taking swim lessons with Michael Phelps or boxing lessons from Floyd Mayweather: You won't find a better experience anywhere else.

5 stars doesn't do VX Marksmanship justice - and if you are lucky enough to be even remotely within…read moredriving distance, you owe it to yourself to take advantage of the training offered here. It is a unique opportunity that anyone hungry for world class firearm instruction should take advantage of. Whether you are starting as a rookie or a seasoned professional, VX focuses on building your mindset, maturity, grit, and weapon handling capabilities that you must have to prepare for what you're training for -- a gunfight - if you need to defend yourself, your family, or others in a life or death situation. Taking courses as a prospect to build rock solid fundamentals is excellent and where I started as a novice. If you perform, demonstrate grit, professionalism, and the ability to develop your learning curve and are offered the opportunity for membership and train under Dan Sanderford's leadership, you will have a truly unique experience you won't find anywhere else. Training under Dan as a member has allowed me to rapidly improve my ability to remain calm under stress, accelerate my information processing ability, improve my situational awareness, and build the fundamentals needed to interoperate across all weapons platforms (pistol, carbine, precision rifle) in extremely dynamic environments. You won't find this anywhere else. Training at VX Marksmanship with Dan brings with it significant accountability. Much is given and much is expected. The high standards, consummate professionalism, having a learner's mindset (you have never arrived) has improved my abilities beyond my expectations. Being able to stay cool under stress, improving information processing, and having an intense focus on the 'why behind the what' of what you're doing has positively impacted me in multiple areas outside training both personally and professionally. Couldn't thank Dan and his team enough for the program they've built and allowed me to take advantage of.

I think what makes me most excited to go to Alpine is taking advantage of the clay shooting range. You do have to buy their in house clays but definitely nice to be able to do while already shooting. Compared to other ranges Alpine allows you to freely move and touch each part of the range for a very affordable price of $20 and some change. If you're not wanting to shoot high valued ammo they have ammo dispensers that you can buy per pound. With a wide selection of guns to rent and sale, & awesome products to purchase. Each one the members of staff are well knowledgeable, professional, and provide a safe time doing exactly what you love. Thank you Alpine team!
