El Paso Training Classes

BCGlocker · May 13, 2015, 04:51 PM

I recently retired and moved to El Paso. Is there any quality training classes coming to El Paso?

They probably have some discussions of the area.

Also, entering El Paso firearms training in Google came up with 4 or 5 places.

Don't know anything about them though.

I moved away from El Paso a couple of years ago, but there used to be a place called Tactical Ranch, not sure if they are still in business or not.

Also http://epconcealedcarry.com/ is one I would recommend. The guy that runs it, Sam, is a real nice guy, knowledgeable and has some skills.

I am aware of Tactical Ranch. According to its calendar, it offer very limited classes to civilians.

BC, from your bio it looks as if you can shoot.

It also looks like you may be well served to get into the car and do some driving.

I've done some poking around on the net, and I see that Tom Givens' Rangemaster Combative Pistol course is scheduleled for Manheim, TX near Austin for 26 Sept.; Amarillo !0 Oct.; and Phoenix 17 Oct.

Good luck.

Sure, he'll want to drive 8-9 hours. Texas is big.

No kidding!

Many of us have driven considerable distances to avail ourselves of good training.

And there is the airline option.

If you have better suggestions, let's hear them.

One can take a break in scenic Van Horn on the drive.

I do have to compliment the local sheriff who didn't give me a ticket for my warp speed down I-10.

Thanks guys. However, I am a primary care giver for someone very close to me, therefore I am unable to go out of town.
