NRA Firearms Safety Training Center

Our goal is to make you confident in handling

a firearm, the job is to show you how to do 

it first, so you know It's possible to educate

and encourage new and experienced shooters

about firearm usage and safety and to be able

to defend themselves if they ever need to

use their firearm in a full-stress scenario.

At Alex Tactical, we offer amenities that only a

few other ccw instructors in the area can't provide,

like the top-of-the-line classroom with

S.I.R.T. training firearms and Recoil guns like

Glock 19 & Sig Sauer P320 (Green Gas), a private

outdoor shooting gun range with 25 yards

of Pistol lanes, eight stalls, and our Virtual Shooting

Range Simulator, all in the same location.

To meet each student's unique training needs,

we work one on one with them.

We apply our diagnostic abilities to the range

 to spot and address shooting flaws.

Identifying and avoiding hazards that you can,

as well as developing strategies and skills to deal

with those you can't, is the main focus of our training.

What qualities should I consider 

when choosing firearm safety training?

The capacity to teach is the

most crucial qualification for an instructor.

Even if an instructor is the best-retired master

or competitive shooter, you won't learn if they

can't impart their knowledge to you. 

Look for an experienced NRA Instructor

who speaks clear words and has experience on 

concealed carry firearms training (Carry Daily).

You need to fire at least 50 rounds of ammo

 or more, at least 

5-shots at 10 feet, 

5-shots at 15 feet,

 5-shots at 20 feet,

multiple times.

To be able to learn something or do you 

only fire a couple of .22 cal bullets into a 

bucket of sand or fired Simunitions rounds?

Nothing compares to the firearm you will

be carrying in real life every day, 

not  knowing if that  gun fits your hands,

or if you can manage  the recoil of the

chosen caliber, if it weighs too much for

your holster?

You  only meet the minimum state

requirement, but you are not 

comfortable to carry every day.

To instruct regular people in gun safety and

concealed carry, NRA-certified instructors 

have the distinct advantage of studying 

techniques that make the students feel 

comfortable, encourage participation, 

and guarantee they are confident in their learning.

Avoid teachers who prefer to dress in military costumes

and try to wow you with unknown words, and

stales of their military or law 

enforcement experiences. 

These people are "Tactical" instructors.

It does not matter what level or even no level 

of experience, you may have with a gun.

Our mission is to help you navigate the scenarios

 of response  until you are safely confident 

and trained to be prepared.

With practice, repetition, and dedication, 

you can become a more accurate shooter.

You can go ahead and book a 

class today to train with us.

After 35 years of helping customers, family, and friends protect themself by selecting the proper firearms and holsters, aiming, properly holding the gun, printing, gun maintenance, safety rules, the difference between target and defensive ammo, choosing the right defense ammo, etc. 

And after seeing what a concealed carry class was teaching them or not and leaving them unprepared to carry a gun for self or home defense.

So I decided to start my own business Alex Tactical a Firearms Training Center and a Private Outdoor Shooting Gun Range in the same place to pass on the knowledge to serve responsible gun owners better to protect themselves and their families. 

In Florida, most CCW classes only address some legal 

and basic gun rules to meet the minimum state requirements. 

While not including drawing from concealment, moving, shooting, on hand, reloading, ammo types, cleaning, recognizing and clearing malfunctions, the concealed carry mindset and the aftermath, sight picture, sight alignment, and clearing malfunctions drills, just to name a few, it leaves you unprepared to defend your self and some times in more legal trouble and or physically hurt. 

Most of my students had concealed carry permits but were afraid and unprepared to carry with the class they took when applying for the license.

A draw would be essential to training if you decided to carry concealed. Just remember that an attacker can cover 21 feet of distance 

before you can draw and fire, meaning you need to practice, 

draw from concealed, and you can't do that on many Gun Ranges.

 You can dry fire for years, but it's a waste of time without 

a mentor that points out which areas you need to work on.

I'm committed to teaching others to protect themself with firearms.

 My students appreciate my teaching style Informative, patient, 

and with proven knowledge of firearm safety always first. 

I am responsible for providing you with the best 

possible, safest training I can give.    

I have accumulated the qualifications to ensure I'm prepared to deliver the most professional and practical firearms training in the Lake, Marion, Sumter, Orange, The Villages, Lady Lake, Fruitland Park, Ocklawaha, Ocala, Belleview, Oxford, Leesburg, Summerfield, Wildwood, Weirsdale, Silver Springs Shores areas.

I built my classroom, a Private Outdoor Shooting Gun Range, and 

a Virtual Shooting Range to provide the best environment to teach new and experienced shooters the tools that they need to learn, all under one roof and also the draw from concealment techniques with the use of our Recoil Pistols to first-time shooters to have less stress into the practice before going to the actual range, I learned that it makes the range time shorter when you practice on our simulator firsts. 

My goal is to promote the safe use and handling of Firearms.

I specialize in analyzing and understanding the needs of 

every student's skills, habits, methods of learning, 

and physical limitations that may be present, and identifying their strengths and developing their weakness to become better shooters.

I'm a humble instructor who listens to my students, 

and I'm willing to learn from other instructors and counselors, 

take their advice, and share my wisdom. 

That is why I always try to better myself by taking 

new classes and continuing my education.

The instructor must continuously improve their course 

and stay fresh and current.

As an NRA Instructor, my number one priority is safety, 

and the NRA rules for safely handling a firearm are the main focus of all our classes. I think someone can be an excellent shooter, have safety nailed down, and run a competent course; however, a good instructor should be able to work with any student to make them a better shooter.

As a realistic instructor, I carry many hours daily; 

I live by what I teach and do every day and some 

practical scenarios you may encounter.

I listen to my students and what kind of guns they have, 

or I recommend, after analyzing their strengths and weakness, 

size of the hands, recoil management, etc.

 I understand that every student it's different, 

and your firearms needs may be unique. 

That is part of my job, working with what you 

have and create a better shooter.

Check my NRA qualifications as an instructor, 

and I am NRA certified and qualified to teach the

 classes you want to take.

Remember that someone who is ex-military, 

even an ex-military trainer is not qualified to train civilians 

in firearms since it is two different worlds. 

Military training is offensive but in the civilian world, 

it is defensive training.

Again, If you do this, it just may save your life,

 which is why you're taking the training first. 

Trust me when I say that you won't be clearing rooms, 

busting down doors, going roll-over prone under cars, or shooting through windshields any time soon or ever, unless you're a law enforcement officer or deployed to Afghanistan.

Let me train you on a more natural life situation scenario.

My teaching experience is focused on the everyday student 

because knowledge does not make an instructor!

What I mean by this is that just knowing doesn't mean you can teach. 

It goes with the teaching style, but it expands it to how long 

I have been teaching, how many classes a month, 

and how many satisfied students, women or men, I reached.

My classes are objective based, which means all students should 

have that particular lesson down before I move on to the next task. 

In our classroom, we use (TPI) Total Participation Involvement

Students learn better by DOING, rather than by watching. 

This is a very interactive course in which students will practice the fundamentals being taught and will participate actively in the class.

I encourage questions to be asked at any time and ask if you 

have any questions before proceeding to the next class or drill.

My Classes are for up to six students at a time, and most 

are private classes for couples, families, and working teams.

I built my classroom and Private outdoor shooting gun range

 because indoor gun ranges are scary.

Someone with a driver's license can rent a gun, get some ammo and targets, and have no experience in the fundamentals, safety, 

or how to clear malfunction will be shooting next to me.

I made the class fun by staying on topic and answering questions. 

I like when the student can go home and practice the fundamentals 

and create that much-needed muscle memory that they learn 

in my class because I can teach them and show them how to do it, 

but I can give them experience and the repetition 

needed in a day of class.

For me, it's important to remember that you are paying for my knowledge, experience, credentials, and time and that

you feel you are getting your money's worth.

NRA Instructors are considered the "Gold Standard" 

regarding firearms instruction.

But whether you are looking for an NRA Certified Instructor, 

they are not all the same. Every instructor has their style and flair, 

so you want to find out if it is compatible with yours.

I start from scratch and teach my students the correct fundamentals of shooting. Everyone needs a refreshing course, especially those that have been doing this forever with no formal education and the proper technique to apply shooting fundamentals.

Our teaching environment in our classroom is often the first impression many students get when they arrive.

The teaching environment also can make or 

break the concentration of new shooters. 

I believe that attention is one of the principal tenets of the 

NRA regarding firearms training, our smoke-free classroom, 

small classroom size, and minimal distractions on the range. 

Other items that may help the student learning process 

include clean restrooms, an air-conditioned or heated classroom, 

and snacks to keep the student focused on the lesson. 

The only thing on our walls or tables is firearm-related, 

with No ads, No Sales of anything else.

I'm an instructor that is flexible enough to teach 

multiple acceptable methods.

I have been so lucky that even at gun shows, the instructor 

comes to me to teach their students how to shoot. 

Even more, most of my students held a concealed carry for years but never carried cause they didn't feel comfortable with what 

they learned on a 2-hour video and shooting 

three rounds off a .22cal on a bucket of sand. 

They want to learn how to defend themselves in a real-life situation, 

draw from concealed (not allowed on an indoor gun range) multiple targets, and real-life scenarios. 

That is why I have a real-life scenarios simulator for training.

I hold a full NRA instructor and range Liability insurance to cover every inch of our training center.
