MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS

Louie Matthews (that's me in the pictures) is the primary instructor. With over 20 years in Law Enforcement I have a variety of stories and experiences to draw from. I am a NRA member and have been involved in our communities Neighborhood Watch Program in the past. I am a native to Houston and currently residing in the Tomball area with my wife and 2 of my 4 children.

Lee Matthews is also an instructor but mainly does all the office part of the business. If you have questions or need to change anything she is the one you will talk to. Lee is also a native to Houston and was working in the banking industry before having our 2 children. Now she is a stay at home mother.

                      2. The Shooting Proficiency


                            Which is explained on the range page. You are able to qualify with either a revolver or a semi-automatic minimum of .32 caliber or larger, but if you qualify with the revolver then you are only allowed to carry a revolver. But if you qualify using a semi-automatic then you are allowed to carry either a revolver or a semi-automatic. Upon completion you are allowed to carry any caliber weapon that you wish.
