Welcome!

Since 1991, KR Training has been offering affordable firearms and self-defense courses in Central Texas. Our two private training facilities are within an easy drive of a large part of Central Texas, including the Austin, Bastrop, Lockhart, Giddings and Bryan/College Station areas, and are a few hours from Houston, Waco and San Antonio. Our team of male and female instructors teach courses for all levels: beginners, average gun owners, CHL students, serious shooters, instructors and uniformed professionals.

Our CHL courses provide notary, classroom, range and lunch all in one session at one location, taught by a retired Austin PD instructor at his private training facility. Our non-CHL courses are taught by a diverse team of instructors with experience in firearms training, defensive skills, competition shooting, law enforcement, military service, martial arts, and risk assessment. We've been featured in media from the Outdoor Channel and BBC network to SWAT, Gun World and Concealed Carry magazines, as well as blogs like TheTruthAboutGuns and local radio & TV. Our shooting team members (instructors and alumni) regularly win local and regional IPSC and IDPA pistol and carbine matches. Many area instructors are graduates of our instructor development and advanced level courses.

Call us at 512-633-8232 anytime between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. Central Standard Time. The fastest way to get information is to email us. Unless a class is marked as 'SOLD OUT' on this page, there is space available.
