Relevant Feedback
After hundreds of hours of training with firearms instructors from law enforcement to Navy SEALs and US Special Forces and shooting competitively for many years, I thought I knew a lot about shooting.
I was wrong! The longer I trained and the more instructors I met, the less I felt I took away from any class other than some faster draw strokes to first shot or pairs at 7 yards.
This is an entirely other level! I wish I could go back in time and make Tactical Hyve the team I trusted to make me more capable as a shooter. Past classes reinforced the same material over and over with some occasional bias from the instructor based on their particular background; while Myles and his team bring together the best of combat tools with competitive smoothness and a scientific approach to shooting that is proven effective right before your eyes and in your own hands.
They take skills I have learned before and add layers and improvements that never even occurred to me.
The capacity of the instructional team to serve as diagnosticians was the best I have ever encountered, and this is what you should be paying for in a class, not just a guy with a stopwatch.
There was also no “my way or the highway”. Every tactic or improvement was offered with a “try this and see if it works for you or fits your style”. Incredibly refreshing and non-dogmatic.
This is what firearms training SHOULD be. I have already referred other friends to save them the fortune I spent chasing good instruction before I found Tactical Hive. I will be back!
I walked into this class expecting just another routine refresher—something to brush up on the basics. But what I got was far more comprehensive and impactful than I imagined. Tactical Hyve takes firearms training to a whole new level, pushing well beyond the conventional instruction offered by most. From the outset, it was clear that Myles and his team are operating on a different tier. Their approach is not only professional and well-structured but also refreshingly modern and grounded in solid reasoning.
What really stood out was how they don’t just teach the “how” but focus heavily on the “why” behind each technique. That level of insight brings clarity and purpose to everything from grip and stance to more nuanced concepts like natural point of aim. “Cheat Codes” is a game-changer—it breaks down key fundamentals in a way that makes you rethink what you thought you knew, and it sharpens your performance significantly.
If you’re fortunate enough to attend one of these classes, consider it an investment in your skillset and confidence. It’s not just training—it’s an eye-opening experience that will challenge and elevate your shooting in ways you didn’t expect.
Far exceeded my expectations. Myles is uniquely gifted in conveying foundational concepts and their implementation into advanced techniques. He designed and presents his curriculum in a practical manner giving you an understanding of how and what you need to train to achieve your goals. The insights and training techniques you learn come from the knowledge of top tier shooters and countless rounds down range. I was particularly blown away by one specific part on the use of vision and target transitions that actually had you feel and understand leading with the eyes the right way. That alone, made this program totally worth it to me. There is so much more valuable information that I hope to do the program again once I train some of the techniques presented and need to reevaluate my progress.
I highly recommend this course to most shooters but think you would get the most benefit once you have good basic skills and are familiar with gun handling. I also recommend you use a full size gun you are familiar with and bring good basic belt and holster setup. Not so much for conceal carry but a setup that is reliable and easy to draw and holster safely.
Thank you Myles and Tactical Hyve for an excellent experience. I look forward to training with the tools and techniques you have given to me.

This class is one of those gems that fits so many levels of shooters. Over the three days, the depth of technique and process increases, as does your shooting ability. It really is noticeable. But this is a class with so much depth that I can easily see myself retaking it as I improve my skills and learn and grow in my abilities to another level. The reason for that is the instructor’s ability to teach these techniques and processes to newer shooters and more experienced shooters at the same time. Allowing both to grow and learn in the same class.
This three-day class is incredibly economical. The cost broken out over three days puts it in a very competitive spot with other 8-hour-a-day classes. You will be shooting a significant amount of the time. Not mag dumping, but putting into practice techniques and processes that build on each other. This is one of the things I feel Tactical Hyve instructors do better than many other classes. They don’t just have a series of categories they are teaching. They move through a progression that constantly builds on the previous skill and works to grow the shooter.
I don’t just take classes to learn to shoot better. That is the biggest part, but I also take classes because I enjoy shooting. Because it is a skill that I have fun getting better at. It challenges me and pushes me and it’s enjoyable. Tactical Hyve has mastered the safety and seriousness of firearms instruction with the enjoyment, fun, and excitement of shooting. Their instructors keep the classes moving at a good pace, they are subject matter experts and provide solid feedback and answers. They run the class in a very safe manner, yet still have fun, are approachable, and keep the atmosphere in an enjoyable learning space.
This class is going to improve your pistol shooting immensely, and it’s going to give you a path to continue to grow and get better. I can’t strongly enough recommend this class for anyone that wants to improve their skills with a pistol.
