Karl doesn't have any intermediate or AT classes on his schedule at the moment, but it's worth checking back occasionally. He is a good instructor and has a lot to teach, no matter whether you're a neophyte or old hand. He occasionally hosts nationally known instructors at his range as well.

Karl and Penny are also genuinely nice people.
And whenever they offer their Basic (or Women's Basic) they are especially good with helping women or anyone who is afraid a "gun class" will be too macho -- they teach safety and the basics of shooting very efficiently and in a very friendly manner.

Sometimes these (short) classes are in the city, e.g., Austin.

Thanks. I didn't know that -- even though I am interest in a glass with Gabe Suarez or perhaps one of his instructors.

You are pretty close to a good Pratical Shooting range with USPSA and IDPA regularly. Cedar Ridge in Bulverde.

Also useful is this map of Texas practical shooting locations:

Re: Training Classes

Read this thread about minimum training: http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... 23&t=16875

And yes, you should find some defensive shooting class/training. Post your location and people in your area can put you onto good instructors (e.g., Karl Rehn of KRTraining.com is great if you are around SmithVille, i.e., Austin/San Antonio/Houston but there are many other good trainings even if you must travel further.)

Take some training. Shoot some IDPA (or USPSA).

Nothing is going to be combat, but the more realistic you can make it the better prepared you're likely will be.

Stay alert. Stay safe.
