Tactical Cowboy Training Solutions

Does the #2man always go opposite direction at the #1 man? We took a poll on this the other day and the results surprised me. 40% said yes and 60% said no or it depends. On this topic we are on the “it depends” side of the house. For our open enrollment & private CQB classes we teach concepts over hard rules. Whether it’s solo or a 4 man team we want every person to be able to think and make decisions at a moments notice. Having a predetermined script such as #2 man always goes the opposite direction can put your team in a very precarious situation. We arm the TCTS family with the knowledge behind the “why” and let them make the decisions with the information they gather as they enter a new space. This is a thinking man’s game. Excited to see y’all’s comments on this video & topic. As we always say there are no wrong questions or comments to pose. Always keep an open mind especially when it comes to circumstances such as this. Let’s hear it! Recent Reviews from our CQB training… - The guys at Tactical Cowboy really know their stuff. I completed my first CQB course with them and it was extremely well thought out and structured in a way for you to gain a firm understanding of the fundamentals before jumping right into scenarios. I felt everything we learned was cutting edge which makes it great for beginners and experienced individuals. Highly recommend their training to anyone. - I’ve attended a few of tactical cowboy’s training courses recently and couldn’t have asked for a better environment! From the direction and training to the personable feel these guys are second to none. They have pushed my limits on all fronts and make it seem effortless. I would recommend any caliber marksman come and train with them and i guarantee you will take a wealth of knowledge away with it. #tacticalcowboy #cqb #think #train #fight #win #adapt

Looking to take your skills with a pistol to the next level while competing with others? This is the Pistol course for you. High standards of Marksmanship, Shooting on the Move, Barrier Work, Maintaining Standards under Stress, & being graded throughout the day to produce a metric that we can always improve upon. Stay tuned for our next offering for this course. Summer 2023. www.thetacticalcowboy.com

MARKSMANSHIP + PHYSICAL STRESS Adapting to any form of stress takes time & recovery. Becoming proficient at shooting while under physical stress is no different. We can do this in an organized fashion by first creating a baseline standard of marksmanship that we hold ourselves to, becoming repeatable at that standard, then slowly add more and more intensity in various forms while maintaining the standard. During this process you can learn a ton about how to prepare and perform with an elevated heart rate. As y’all know, we love to add stress during our courses but we always do so under the watchful eyes of a mentor. This ensures you have us in your corner so we can help guide you through the stress shoot. Similar to a coach in a fighters corner giving him feedback and tips throughout the fight. Adding stress the “right” way can propel your progress like no other! If you want to join us or create a plan for yourself we’d love to help out! Reach out anytime. Talk to y’all soon! Have a stellar week. Comment your thoughts! Excited to hear them. #tacticalcowboy #motivation #fitness #fit #tactical #tacticaltraining #prepared #edc #physicalfitness #train #fight #win #mentorship #tricks #tips #program #plan

This past weekend we talked a lot about physical and emotional control when having to take care of a tactical scenario. What usually follows a tactical scenario? A medical scenario.

STOP THIS NOW - DON’T USE OUR PUBLIC LAND AS A PLACE FOR YOU TO DUMP YOUR TRASH AND SHOOT AT IT. BE A PROFESSIONAL & LEAD THE WAY. Share this & spread the message. We need to stop acting like children with our firearms. If you do this you make our entire community look foolish. #tacticalcowboy #professional #mentor #2a #2ndamendment #rights #freedom #america #stop

Scott from @ironsightspodcast came to visit Utah! We welcomed him with open arms, hit the range, and had a great conversation. Here is a portion of our range day. We showed him the TCTS Pistol Standard and he did great! Check it out!

Extremely excited for the course this weekend at the EDC expo. For those of y'all attending prepare to put in WORK under stressful conditions. Our goal is to help you understand and overcome what it will take to save life when it matters most. #tacticalcowboy #concealed #edc #expo #carbine #concealedcarbine #train #fight #win www.thetacticalcowboy.com

Concealing a rifle in a bag can be quite the task. On this day we decided to run some interesting courses of fire while concealing full size rifles in a couple different variations of bags. Whats your go to set up for concealing a rifle? Is it worth it to you? Why or why not? Excited and honored to bring Concealed Carbine Diagnostics to the EDC Expo THIS WEEKEND! www.thetacticalcowboy.com

BE ABOUT IT I was chatting with a good friend yesterday about TCTS. He said the best thing we've done is hit the videography hard this past year. I agree and disagree. The best thing the TCTS team has done is live it day after day. You can't get footage nearly every day without doing the thing every day. This is our job & full focus is put into improving our skill while also learning from others. A lot of folks talk "about it" but rarely train it themselves. Don't let your complacency or past accomplishments give you a reason to lose focus on your abilities & hunger to get better. If you don't use it you lose it. It's damn true. This isn't solely in reference to your pistol or rifle marksmanship. Fitness, knowledge acquisition, professional career, family matters, etc. This world is always changing. Some would say changing faster now than ever before. If you don't adapt with it you are being left behind. None of us are done putting in the work. Myself and my team included. Stop talking and start doing. Love you all. RANGE DAY #beaboutit #tacticalcowboy #mentor #mentorship #performance #stop #talking #start #doing #motivation #motivate #humpday

What sets us apart? Not only do we arm you with the knowledge and ability to perform with your Carbine from any and all Static and Mobile positions, but we add in the stress component. If you aren't working on your ability to handle stress while maintaining your marksmanship skills you are simply DEAD WRONG. The idea that you'd ever apply these skills in a mental and physical state similar to the flat range is asinine. Build the baseline, advance the baseline, stress the foundation, improve upon it. Rinse, wash, repeat. Get your heart rates up. There aren't any barbells on the "battlefield". #tacticalcowboy #tacticaltraining #fitness #cardio #motivation

A 1 on 1 approach that never fails! Spent 4 hours today with David going over Pistol Mechanics from the concealed position & outside the waistband! We made tons measurable progress that David can build on top of in his own time or with us again. Skills and smiles are what the TCTS team brings to the table. Private sessions are incredible if you are looking for a personalized approach to achieving your goals & boy do we make a ton of progress in such little time! You won't find a better training outfit. Can't wait to have you back David. You are THE MAN! Looking to get involved with the TCTS team in a private setting like this? Simply reach out my friends. You will not be disappointed! www.thetacticalcowboy.com #tacticalcowboy #training #mentorship #mentor #firearmstraining #glock #sig #personaltrainer #personaldevelopment #fitness #shooting #life

BREATH CONTROL UNDER STRESS Normally we'd love to break our shots during a respiratory pause but many times stress shoots, or reality, it won't pan out that way. Your carotid artery contains sensors that are constantly giving your brain feedback about when we need to bring in more O2 and expel CO2. If we are under extreme physical duress your O2 delivery systems are clearly going to be stressed. As we get set in position to make a shot and we exhale to utilize the respiratory pause, that lack of O2 and fast build up of CO2 is going to send strong signals to the brain to BREATHE while you are trying to apply your fundamentals of marksmanship. Imagine if you run 1 lap around the track at max effort then try to accomplish a task that requires small motor unit recruitment such as placing a pin on a map in the perfect spot. Would you perform better if you exhaled completely while attempting to do this or take in a large breath and hold it? There are many breathing techniques out there but this one has seemed to work for me and tons of people we have worked with all the way from Hi-Speed "Operators" to the Everyday Citizens. What are your thoughts? Try this out during your next stress test and see if it makes a difference for you! Oh and if you aren't doing stress tests on a consistent basis we may have a problem... fix it! #tacticalcowboy #tips #tricks #science #breath #breathwork #motivation #fitness #shooting #cardio #tactical #tacticalgames

Incredible NVG Shoot & Maneuver course a few weeks ago at the Utah Readiness Center. We will continue to bring top of the line night vision training to Utah & the United States. Keep an eye out for NVG Operator Performance on May 27th 2023. If you want to prove yourself under darkness then we will see you there. Check out some reviews of this past NVG Shoot & Maneuver N - Most night vision classes are pretty underwhelming, but TCTS did a phenomenal job with this class. All participants showed up with a good grasp of night vision fundamentals, so we were able to jump straight into practicing the fire & maneuver under NODs. In four hours, the TCTS team took us through dozens of different exercises to help us learn how to function as a team -- a simply incredible volume of material for such a short timeframe, with similarly impressive results. By the we were functioning as a well-oiled machine, which is a testament to the quality of instruction here. S - I took my first course with TCTS over the weekend (NVG SHOOT AND MANEUVER). It was a well executed class with shooters that had been been vetted and everyone was squared away. We learned a ton and we received positive (and some negative where needed) feedback and we all improved. We focused on passive aiming through NVGs which was awesome. Good skill to develop. Devin and his guys are genuinely interested in making people better and improving the community. Take a class from TCTS. Well worth it. B - Without a doubt this class builds confidence in using NV effectively. The team environment was awesome and I look forward to getting out there again. The entire class was live fire minus the fifteen minutes of instruction/expectations in the beginning. Overall great class! Thanks again @tacticalcowboy01 ALWAYS MAINTAIN STANDARDS www.thetacticalcowboy.com

My brother from another mother Zach is about to embark on an epic journey to stress his body beyond what most of us can comprehend for research involving veterans & other first responders and strategies to assist in physical / mental healing. He will be participating with other extreme athletes and they will crush 7 skydives, 7 marathons, & 7 swims in 7 continents over 7 days Their recovery process will be recorded. This data will be used to create protocols helping our warriors heal for many years to come. If you'd like to donate to this cause I will have the go fund me link below. If not no worries, show your support by reaching out to him! They start here in the next few days. https://www.gofundme.com/f/zack-garners-7x-fundraiser?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_content=undefined&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer&utm_term=undefined Find him on instagram @zach_next_door #family #veterans #support #friends #supportveterans #research

How's it going y'all. We have just released our next SHOOT & MANEUVER course date. May 27th at the UTAH READINESS CENTER. Here are the deets: Breakdown: This course will be focused on the many disciplines that are involved in carbine marksmanship along with shooting and maneuvering with a team mate. These include but are not limited to improving on the mechanics of presenting the weapon on target from various start positions, perfecting trigger squeeze / recoil anticipation, ensuring each student has a strong understanding of the various shooting positions available to them, providing a solution to engage targets with accuracy while on the move, and how to effectively shoot & maneuver with a team mate while engaging multiple targets safely. This event will only be opened to 8 participants and will be taught by the members of the TCTS mentorship team consisting of former Army Rangers, Marines, and Green Berets. Plan to train throughout the day with little breaks. At the end of this course you will have a new level confidence with your weapon system. Over the day the students will be graded on a point system that will include marksmanship / shoot & maneuver tactics. All will be taught prior to testing. An overall score of 80% or higher will be required to receive a graduation certificate. We'd be honored to have you out! Find more details and sign up at www.thetacticalcowboy.com Have a great one y'all. SMILE!

It seems like optic mounts are getting taller and taller. I believe this may be the tallest you can get. Going to send 3,000 rounds through it before we give a full - in depth review. A fair blend of up close running & gunning, distance, and NVG work will be how we run it. The 3,000 rounds will be evenly distributed between these. So far so good. About 12% of the way there as of today. Running with NVGs for the first time tonight. What are y'all's thoughts? Badass or Silly? #comment #question #badass #silly #tacticalgear #tactical #eotech #gbrs #gbrsgroup #tacticalcowboy #review #reviews

Throwback to the warm days of summer. First day running the 10mm GLOCK 40. Ran the pistol standard with this bad boy. I have to say, quality weapon. Get out there, train, and have fun. Gosh do I miss summer already! www.thetacticalcowboy.com #pistol #handgun #bigiron #cowboy #10mm #tactical #firearms #tips #tricks #training #utah #gun #guns #gunslinger

Malfunctions & whatnot. "Click" = tap rack bang. Issue could be an empty mag, faulty ammunition, light primer strike, or a magazine that wasn't inserted properly. "Dead trigger" = take a moment to look at the issue, then fix it! Issue likely results in removing the magazine to fix. Issue could be a double feed, stove pipe, empty magazine, etc. Dead trigger happens when the slide isn't fully in battery. Simple stuff but damn important! Hope this helps ya out! Have a great one y'all. #tacticalcowboy #goodtimes #pistol #shooter #tacticalgear #advice #practice #train #glock #9mm #america #freedom #fun
