Rifle 1

Not sure where to start. This was an incredible experience for me! Max was an awesome instructor and Lacy and Theo rounded out the team perfectly. Not sure I could have asked for a better first rifle class than this. I will 100% be back for another class!

Tac Skills and the CEO has truly impressed with us and its commitment to excellence in training. All the instructors were absolutely amazing, showcasing not only their expertise but also their dedication to ensuring every student feels supported and informed. The step-by-step instructions provided were clear and comprehensive, making complex concepts easy to grasp.

Additionally, the emphasis on range safety was commendable. It’s evident that the instructors prioritize the well-being of their students, which fosters a secure learning environment. Their guidance went beyond mere instruction; they took the time to engage with each student, addressing individual questions and concerns, which significantly enhanced the learning experience.

Overall, the combination of knowledgeable instructors, structured feedback, and a focus on safety sets Tac Skills apart as a leader in its field. This nurturing approach not only builds confidence in students but also cultivates a strong foundation of skills that will serve them well in practical situations. Keep up the fantastic work!

This is my second training done with TacSkills, and it keeps getting better and better. The courses that were set up, and the drills we did were so fun and I learned so much. I am getting better and better! Cannot wait for Rifle course now! I am addicted! Too highly recommended for beginner to advanced shooters!

PISTOL LEVEL 1

I had found Tac Skills on IG and was stoked as I have been seeking a local expert. On a cold wet day, I had the opportunity to be trained by Trever. His demeanor and skill levels are excellent; Trever has patience with students and can adjust to meet their individual needs and insure the class is tailored. I highly recommend TacSkills and will be taking additional classes in 2025

5 Stars in Every Aspect!

— Laura, Olympia, WA

Pistol fundamentals for beginners

As a first-time gun owner with no prior knowledge of loading, safety, or shooting, I left the course feeling completely confident in all three. The focus on techniques *before* even loading the gun was priceless. What really stood out was the expertise of the instructors—actual Special Ops with real-world experience. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, you’ll learn something valuable from them!

By the time we started shooting, I felt fully prepared—knowing how to holster, grip, draw, aim, and even change magazines with ease. I went from a 0 to a solid 8 in comfort, security, and confidence! The course location on Rock Candy Mountain was stunning, and the attention to safety exceeded my expectations.

I absolutely loved the entire experience, including shooting from under tents to stay dry in the rain! I can't wait to return for more advanced training and will be sending my daughter next.

Well done, TacSkills!

Incredible Experience

— Mike, Portland, OR

I’ve taken firearms classes before, but nothing compared to this. The instructors were not only experts with experienced backgrounds but also amazing at breaking everything down for all skill levels. Their focus on safety and technique made a huge difference in my shooting. I felt more confident after just one day than I have in years of practice. I’m already planning my next class and can’t recommend TacSkills enough.

— Brian, Orting, WA

Professional and Safe

— Brian, Orting, WA

The instruction was world-class, and you could tell these guys knew their stuff from years of real-life experience. They emphasized safety at every step, which was a huge relief for someone like me who hadn’t been around guns much before. By the end of the course, I was confidently drawing, aiming, and hitting targets. I’m definitely coming back for more advanced classes. Definitely want to go to one of their medical and radio courses too.

Worth Every Dollar

— Zach H., Spanaway, WA

I’ve been shooting for a while, but this course took my skills to the next level. The instructors were so down-to-earth and approachable and provided me with detailed feedback and help. The drills were practical, challenging, and fun, and I learned techniques I’ve never seen anywhere else. Plus, the location was incredible, we convoyed out into the forest to a private location. It really made the experience that much cooler. The attention to detail was top-notch, and I’ll be recommending this course to everyone I know!

Amazing First-Time Experience

— Adam, Olympia, WA

I had never even touched a gun before this class, but the TacSkills team made me feel completely comfortable and confident. They were patient, professional, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. By the end of the day, I was shooting accurately and safely. I can’t believe how much I learned in just one day! I’m definitely hooked and looking forward to taking more classes. Thank you, TacSkills!

Exceeded My Expectations!

— Cassie, Seattle, WA

As someone with minimal firearms experience, I was nervous going into the course, but the team at TacSkills immediately put me at ease. Their hands-on, step-by-step approach was exactly what I needed. I never thought I’d feel this comfortable handling a firearm, but by the end of the day, I was reloading and shooting like I’d been doing it for years. Plus, the instructors were all so knowledgeable and professional. Can’t wait to come back!
