Update: On Sunday, July 4, Texas Tactical will have their monthly Carbine/2-Gun match at Total Hit Ranch, near Loop 1604 & Hwy 90.

However, there will be a special “World War Weapons” division available.

Stages will have Historical themes and props, with some challenges that haven’t been seen on the range in a long time.

Squads still have available slots, so dust off the safe queens and come shoot the D-Day match! Link in the comments:

Folks,

The Club Owners asked me to pass this on:

***Reminder: You may collect your own brass afterward, but brass already on the range belongs to the range.

Please don't pick up any brass other than what you make yourself.***

Anyone planning to attend?

Friends,

Lee Weems invited me to be one of his guests on his podcast last night.

We discussed some of the issues and challenges and rewards of teaching a live fire block at the 2026 Rangemaster Tactical conference. 

Karl Rehn, Tim Reedy, and Cecil Burch join me to discuss how they developed their blocks for TacCon.https://krtraining.com/https://tdrtraining.com/https://ww...

TacCon 2027. April 2-4 at the Dallas Pistol Club

Friends,

Tickets for next year’s TacCon should go on sale in the next week. TacCon is the premier annual event for self-defense-minded folks, both new and experienced.

It’s three days of 40+ nationally recognized trainers, about 350 attendees, live-fire range blocks, classroom blocks, and hands-on training in medical, legal, empty hands, managing unknown contacts and much more.

The event has sold out in a very short time in most previous years, so if you want to reserve your spot, be sure to check taccon.info often.

NOTE: Anyone offering to sell or transfer their tickets to you is a scammer. TacCon tickets are not transferable.

Bandera IDPA and Patrick Flores hosted an IDPA Safety Officer course today.

While setting up the classroom, we had a couple of looky-loos poke their heads in.

10 motivated students paid rapt attention as Patrick demystified the complexities of the SO’s responsibilities.

Then, we headed to the range for the practical work.

Welcome to our new SO’s!

I let We**ie the cybertruck drive me to the event, and also take the class photo.
