If you’re taking your CHL, be sure to arrive early. As the classroom is small, and fills up fairly quickly. Spencer Dixon is amazing! He is a lot of fun, full of knowledge, and super funny. Spencer makes the class interesting, which in turn makes the time go by a lot faster. I was super nervous when I took my shooting test, but he encourages you to relax and take your time. I also really appreciate the fact that he responds to his emails and texts in a timely manner. Customer service here was great! I would recommend everyone to get there CHL, or as of 2016LTC. I would definitely come back without a groupon! Tips: Be sure to bring snacks and something to drink!

If there are multiple instructors here, ask for Spencer by name. The 4.5 hour class flew by with his easy-going imparting of knowledge(and wisecrack opinions) of gun laws. He’s got all the knowhow of a serviceman along with the affability of a country boy to make class enjoyable. We got a Groupon deal, but it’s worth attending at full-price if you’re not able to find the deal. Tips: Get there a few minutes before class begins to settle in and find a seat that’s close to the open end so you can use the RR or get coffee. Bring a snack to help you through the 6 total hours. Be prepared to travel to Winchester Range in FW for the shooting test. Don’t stress about the tests. Practice and pay attention, and you’ll be certified before you know it.

I recently completed the CHL Training Class delivered by Mr. Dixon. As an instructor he is thorough while maintaining a relaxed demeanor, readily responds to questions and takes the time to offer concise answers. After the 4 – 6 hour training session, students are well prepared for the written exam. On the firing line he sets expectations as to how the qualification process will proceed then makes sure all participants are ready and understand instructions for each round. I enjoyed the process and highly recommend Defensive Solutions of Texas and am eager to take additional courses in defensive firearms training.
