Steve really know his stuff and made everything easy to follow, even when it got intense. The drills were practical and gave me a lot more confidence handling different situations. Definitely worth it if you’re looking to level up your skills.Posted on Olivier VernonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven took care of me and the wife on our first true experience with firearm safety and tactical training. It was great learning the basics and having that solid foundation to build on. If anyone was curious to learn gun safety, and fundamentals, etc. Steve is THE GUY!Posted on Sophie JankovitsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the privilege of training with Tactical U it was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, the professionalism, knowledge, and passion from the instructor stood out immediately. I trained in precision rifle shooting with Stephen whose expertise and mentorship went far beyond just technique. He helped me understand the mindset and discipline behind my shots. What really impressed me was the environment challenging yet supportive, high-level yet approachable. The instruction was clear, patient, and tailored to help me push my limits in the best way. I was able to shoot out to 500 yards on my very first session. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills or start your journey with serious training, I can’t recommend Tactical U enough. I’m already looking forward to what’s next.Posted on Jeremy M.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Stephen at Tactical U. I have been shooting for most of my life and thought I knew a lot about handling firearms. I recently purchased a rifle set up for longer range so I decided to take the Precision Rifle class to learn how to shoot accurately at 500 yards and greater. Not only did I learn to shoot accurately, I learned a ton of things that I had been doing incorrectly, that with Stephen's instruction didn't take a lot to change, but made major differences. By the end of the class, I was consistently hitting the targets very comfortably at 500 yards like I had been doing it my whole life. Stephen walked me through everything from basics of holding the rifle correctly (which I didn't think I needed to learn but did), trigger control, calculating bullet drop, scope settings, calculating ballistics, options in scopes, options in reticles, how to use MOA or MRAD reticles, options in ammunition, etc. etc. Stephen is a wealth of information. After seeing all the improvement that I was able to make shooting long range for a day, I am really looking forward to coming back for both the Carbine class as well as Pistol training. It was a day of money well spent, and a lot of fun!Posted on Chris HenryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven was a great instructor. Having had minimal firearm experience, his course was a fantastic, bottoms-up program on how to safely and effectively operate.Posted on N.MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of learning from Steven at TacticalU, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional instructor. His professionalism shines through in every aspect of his teaching. Steven not only has an incredible depth of knowledge but also knows how to break down complex concepts in a way that’s both understandable and engaging. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, his insights and expertise will elevate your skills to the next level. Highly recommend Steven if you're looking for top-notch training!Posted on Gal SheferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Few weeks ago I took one on one private pistol course with Steve for 4 hours in Homestead Florida. Steve very very professional trainer even with all my old experience from the army on many different guns i really learn how much I need to learn from using a pistol on a shooting range and practice because it’s not so easy like it looks like… Everyone who look to purchase a weapon from my opinion have to get training and I really refer you to get class with Steve!!you will get all the information you need from Steve and if you choose to get some grip and practice so you will have it from the best guy in the area for sure!Posted on David ObadiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen is an outstanding instructor. Before meeting Stephen, I had no firearms experience and no formal training. I was looking for an instructor who was not only skilled but also passionate about teaching, and I found exactly that. From our first phone call, I knew we would get along. Stephen is approachable, accommodating, and most importantly, he takes his work seriously without the arrogance you might find in other places. Stephen tailored my lessons to meet my needs and took the time to build my confidence. He was patient when I struggled with certain aspects, always reinforcing the fundamentals until I got them right. His teaching style is calm and encouraging, showing a true love for what he does. His skill on the range is also incredible to watch. A key element is watching him to visualise too rather than just being told what to do, We covered everything from gun safety to basic handling, and as the lessons progressed, we dove into personal defence and real-world tactical movements. Stephen’s emphasis on safety and making sure I understood the importance of being aware and controlled when handling firearms really stuck with me. By the end of the lessons, I felt confident in my fundamentals, from grip and stance to trigger control, and even more advanced techniques like tactical movement. I’m continuing to practice everything Stephen taught me and can’t wait for my next lesson with him. Not only did I gain practical life skills, but I also developed a deeper understanding of firearms in a safe, responsible manner. If you’re willing to put in the work, Stephen will help you progress quickly and effectively. I consider Stephen not just an instructor but a friend. Our conversations, both during and after training, have been genuine and meaningful. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking firearms training for all levels of experience.Posted on Juan Jacobus-AvilaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best in class instructor and experience.
