Vehicle Tactics Level Two is designed for advanced shooters ready to master rifle and pistol engagements in, around, and under vehicles. This 4-hour course takes off where Level One ends—introducing complex decision-making under fire, live-fire glass penetration drills, and coordinated rifle-pistol transitions.
You must complete Vehicle Tactics Level One or be vetted by Tactical U instructors prior to enrollment. This is not a class for hobbyists. It’s an advanced module built for students who train with purpose and execute with control.

Great work!Posted on Omar N.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience training with Stephen. Extremely knowledgeable, not just about rifles, but about mindset, safety, and practical application overall. The training is extremely comprehensive and goes deep into how a rifle actually works, while also covering a wide range of possible scenarios. The session was clear, structured, and very informative. Highly recommend to anyone serious about proper firearms training.Posted on iurii churilovTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience overall. I had an excellent time during the shooting training and learned a lot. The instructor, Steve, did a fantastic job explaining the fundamentals and the mechanics behind how everything works. The lesson was well-structured, informative, and engaging. I left with a much better understanding and solid basic skills. Highly recommended. iurii c.Posted on Joseph FooksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of meeting Stephen when I showed up to my first ever Firearms training. This experience was a gift that was purchased for me. I had no previous formal training. I can tell you leaving I feel significantly more comfortable handling a firearm. Stephen truly made me appreciate how skilled he is. His knowledge is on another level and leaving I feel privileged to have been able to spend 4 hours with him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their tactical skills. Amateurs or pros... you will walk away learning something. Hes extremely personable and makes the experience amazing. As I was leaving another client joined us for some banter. His clients been seeing him for years. This isnt a one time experience. Ill be back improving my skills with Stephen again soon.Posted on Pavel TchourliaevTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. tldr: An incredibly fun and educational experience. My previous experience handling pistols has developed a number of bad habits that Steve has methodically exemplified and fixed. What started rather slow, with proper holding, reloading, etc, ended up with hardcore theory, real-life examples and advanced drills. Over two days of private lessons, I can confidently say that my handgun handling skills have advanced significantly and Steve helped build a solid foundation for future practice. As an instructor, Steve is not only hilarious, but also leads by example, with lots of additional real-life experiences of how the techniques he teaches have helped his former students. I'll be coming back to take additional one-on-one lessons with Steve every time I visit Florida, he's that good.Posted on Wilson CarterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My brother and I traveled from Boca Raton to attend this private rifle training at homestead training center and had an awesome time. We learned so much about rifles, firearm handling, and safety, and walked away feeling both confident and informed. The instruction was incredibly meticulous and thorough, but also extremely fun the entire way through. Everything was explained clearly, patiently, and in a way that made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I’d highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning about firearms, whether you’re brand-new or looking to build on what you already know.Posted on cory malvertyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen is a world class instructor, being prior military and having very high level training inside and out of the military I can say Stephen is the best of the best at his craft. Extremely knowledgeable, articulate, humble and passionate about training. I will definitely be taking a lot more courses to learn new skills, tactics and also to maintain my skills. Highly recommend any and all courses that can be taken @ tactical UPosted on Kenneth KepleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience with Tactical U Firearms. My shooting improved dramatically and I’m 52 and been shooting since I was 5. However this was my first actual / formal instruction. Mr. Cohen gave me all the foundation that I needed to practice on my own.Posted on Michael SabatinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a novice shooter, finding the right instructor is critical. I have had multiple sessions with Stephen and both my knowledge base and shooting have improved consistently; he is passionate about being an instructor. Stephen begins with a framework covering safety and technical skills. The range work quickly follows. Stephen's deep expertise and experience paves the path for any student. Shooting rounds with realtime feedback fosters adaptability and better consistency. As you improve, Stephen walks you through real life situations with tactical proficiency. I highly recommend Stephen and Tactical U.Posted on Eric KatzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "The Real McCoy of Firearms Training!" I cannot say enough about this firearms training class. As a complete beginner, I was nervous, but Steve, a 30-year veteran of the Baltimore Police Department, was the real McCoy. The one-on-one setting was invaluable, allowing for a personalized safety-first approach that immediately put me at ease. He offered "tough love" when needed, but always with an understanding of my beginner skill level, pushing me to be better while still being incredibly supportive. This was not a generic group class; it was a deeply insightful and professional experience that I will remember for a lifetime. I am definitely going to have my son train with him as well. If you want genuine, top-tier instruction, this is the place. Five stars without hesitation.
