Private & On-Site Instruction
Professional Training on Your Own Ground.
Don’t have time to head to a public range? Prefer to train in a familiar, private environment? Lone Star Legacy comes to you.
We offer premium, one-on-one or small-group instruction at your private residence or ranch. This service is ideal for families, neighborhood groups, or individuals who want a customized training schedule tailored specifically to their property and defensive needs.
The On-Site Advantage:
- Property-Specific Tactics: We can evaluate your home or land layout and help you develop a realistic “Home Defense Plan” using your actual surroundings.
- Complete Privacy: Train without the distractions or noise of a crowded public range.
- Custom Curriculum: Whether it’s fundamental safety for the kids or advanced tactical drills for yourself, we build the lesson plan around your goals.
- Safety First: We conduct a professional safety evaluation of your shooting area before training begins to ensure a secure environment for you and your neighbors.
Ideal for: Families, Business Owners, and Ranchers in the Spring Branch, Bulverde, and New Braunfels areas.
Pricing Tip for Private Training:
As an Instructor traveling to your location, I charge a flat rate RangeMaster fee of between $200 and $400 for a half-day, plus a small per-person fee if there are multiple students.
Private Property Range Safety Requirements
To ensure the safety of students, neighbors, and instructors, the following standards must be met before any live-fire training begins on private land.
The Backstop (Impact Area):
- Composition: Must be a natural hillside or a man-made berm of clean dirt/sand.
- Height: Minimum of 8 feet high for handgun training.
- Condition: Must be free of large rocks, cross-ties, or debris that could cause ricochets.
- Depth: If using a man-made berm, it must be thick enough to fully capture all projectiles (typically 3–4 feet of settled earth).
Surface & Layout
- Surface: The shooting line and the area between the shooter and the target must be clear of tall dry grass, brush, or trip hazards.
- Direction: Shooting must be conducted in a direction that ensures a minimum “safety fan” of 1,000 yards of uninhabited land behind the backstop, or a backstop of sufficient size to negate that need.
- Distance: We require a minimum of 15–25 yards of clear, flat space to conduct standard defensive drills safely.
Surroundings & Legalities
- Acreage: Property must meet local county or municipal requirements for discharging firearms (typically 10+ acres in unincorporated areas of Comal/Bexar County, though specific HOA or city rules may vary).
- Neighbors: Clients are responsible for ensuring that neighbors are aware of training sessions to avoid noise complaints or unnecessary emergency calls.
- Access: The training area must be accessible by a standard vehicle in case of medical necessity.
Safety Equipment on Site
- Medical: As a retired Combat Medic, I provide a full Level II Trauma Kit on-site for every session.
- Communication: Reliable cell service or a radio must be available at the range location.
- Cease-Fire: The instructor has absolute authority. Any “Cease Fire” called by anyone must be obeyed immediately.
Upon arrival, I will conduct a Range Safety Walk-Through. If the backstop or layout does not meet professional safety standards, we will adjust the setup or relocate the training to a local commercial range. Safety is our primary legacy.
