Firearms Proficiency: Why It’s More Than Just Hitting the Target
April 29, 2025 7:37 pmWhen most people hear “firearms proficiency,” they think of bullseye shooting at the range. But true proficiency goes way beyond marksmanship. It’s about safe handling, legal awareness, and confident decision-making under stress. Whether you’re carrying under Texas’s permitless carry law or have an LTC, developing true proficiency is essential.

Situational Awareness
A proficient gun owner is always aware of their surroundings, potential threats, and exit strategies. Carrying a firearm means staying mentally sharp, not just being a good shot.
Legal Knowledge
Knowing Texas gun laws, where you can and cannot carry, and when the use of force is justified is just as important as knowing how to pull the trigger. Training like our online License to Carry course helps bridge this gap.

Defensive Skills
Real-world defense isn’t a perfect range environment. Moving targets, stress responses, and close-quarters engagements demand more than standing still and shooting at paper. Ongoing training builds these defensive layers.
