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.
I recently completed the Tactical Hyve “Cheat Codes of Shooting” 3-Day Workshop in Lakeland, FL and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. The course was designed to cater to shooters of all levels, from beginners to advanced marksmen, and Myles and Herfel did an outstanding job of tailoring their instruction to meet the needs of every participant. Thanks to their personalized approach, every shooter—regardless of their starting skill level—left the workshop with significantly improved abilities and greater confidence.
Myles is an exceptional instructor who has an incredible ability to connect with both new and experienced shooters, ensuring that everyone fully understands the concepts and techniques being taught. I’ve never seen a program so effectively deliver dramatic results in such a short period of time. If you’re looking to take your shooting skills to the next level, I highly recommend the Tactical Hyve “Cheat Codes of Shooting” 3-Day Workshop. It’s a perfect fit whether you’re a novice looking to build a solid foundation or a seasoned shooter seeking to refine your technique.
Overall, the workshop was OUTSTANDING, and I would encourage my family, friends, and anyone serious about their shooting performance to attend. I’m already looking forward to participating in more Tactical Hyve training programs in the future!
Awesome 2 day Conceal Carry Force on Force course this weekend held by @tacticalhyve. This course will test your fundamentals and wake you up to the dark realities of WHY we train. The Instructors, Myles and Dor were fantastic and lended a ton of knowledge and experience to this course. We were told this was NOT a shooting course and that it was a “Problem Solving” course… and THAT it was. Lots of dynamic scenarios that will make you think seriously about the weight of carrying a gun. I was humbled and made a lot of mistakes, that are still haunting me as I’m typing. Speed and solid fundamentals ARE necessary, BUT are NOT a guarantee to surviving a gun fight… the speed your mind can process a possible solution to chaotic and deadly situations is AS important if not MORE important than being able to shoot a gun… and that’s what I took away from this weekend and it’s probably one of the most important lessons I’ve learned in this industry. If you train seriously or not, or you just need a wake up call to the possible reality and responsibility of carrying a gun as a protector and good guy in a unhinged world, then you should take this course.
This was by far the best handgun training course I’ve had to date. The courses was very informative and presented in a way that allowed for me to obtain principles, techniques and practical drills to practice on my own. Miles is an awesome instructor/teacher! I would recommend the “Cheat Codes” course to anyone who’s really serious about taking their shooting skills to the next level. The Lone Star Shooting Gun Range was the perfect range to host the course!
In my opinion successful training is about 4 main items, effective knowledge transfer, instructor(s) likeability, increased levels of challenge and having fun. Miles hit all 4. I was impressed by the content related to body anatomy when it comes to shooting with precision and speed, The tempo of the workshop was very good, and it was 3 days of constant learning and improvement. At the time I took the last stage I appreciated the personal advice Miles gave me. Now I have a good amount of fundamentals to work on improving on my own. Recommend to those who want to be challenged, learn and have fun at the same time. ADL
The amount of information covered was amazing! It was an intense 3 days (mentally exhausting) but well worth it to be able to continuously build on all the previous material covered since each day built on the previous. I would highly recommend this class to anyone serious about improving their skills, but this is not a beginner class. You will get more out of the class if you taken other classes and are at an intermediate skill level. However, the best part was Myles ability to not only be an expert in all of the skills but to be able to teach the information in a straight forward and easy to understand manner. I’ve had lots of training with instructors who know the skills but are not good teachers. You can tell Myles has put a lot of time and effort into the curriculum and how everything flows. I would defiantly take it again.
Draw, aim and shoot doesn’t even cover what this 3 day training provides… I highly recommend this class to any ladies looking to become familiar with some basic firearm skills or take your skills to the next level.
Myles and his team are Pro’s and all the practical knowledge you take away will help me as I train on my own. I learned what I didn’t know and what I didn’t know I didn’t know which was a lot!! Not once did the team make me feel stupid or inadequate for my lack of experience and since I was the only female in the group I knew I would be dealing with a bunch of guys that had more firearm exp than myself.
The class was structured daily with specific training exercises that are designed to help you improve as you move on from day one to three, definitely value for the money. I appreciated how efficient they were as well, they started on time, made use of every minute available provide instruction. I will definitely be taking another class once I’ve had some time to absorb this training and give myself the best opportunity to improve.. let’s go ladies, we can’t let the boys be the only ones out there 🔥💪🏼
I’ve been a range plinker for a decade. I thought i was getting pretty good. I mean, I can hit a static paper target with as much time as I need to aim pretty well. Hell, I got the shoot and see stickers to show I can punch holes at an indoor range pretty well. I EVEN started to plink around with some bolt action rifles and all. I MUST know a lot about shooting.
NO.
Basically, I figured out i’ve been in “driver’s ed” for the last decade. Myles and the team at Tactical Hyve finally pulled me from this basic mentality and introduced me to my first “track day”…. and crap, looks like I wasted many years just learning how to start my car and drive around a parking lot, over and over again.
My experience with Cheat Codes of Shooting was a jump head first crash course into what I SHOULD have been practicing this last decade. I was one of the least proficient shooters, but I never felt as though the class and the instructors were beyond reach, they took the time to show you how to get better. It’s not a hyperbole to say I learned more about shooting and what I need to practice and understand in these short three sessions than the last decade of plinking around.
How much did I love this course? I am taking it again less than six months later, this time, with more than just some “drivers ed experience”.
The team themselves were great people. I am not the typical student, not a LEO, not ex military, not a 5’11” fire fighter white dude. I’m a middle age 5’ 5” Asian American that grew up in San Francisco, trying to get better at some hobbies I enjoyed when i was younger. The TH team made me feel welcomed and took the time to explain things a bit more to a less proficient shooter like myself. Myles took the time to hold my hand through finding a more appropriate handgun platform to use. (using the car analogy again, I was just picking random shiny flashy handguns, like oooh, look, an expensive sports cars, lets buy it, rather than, this is a spec miata, learn on this first).
BOTTOM LINE, great people, great subject matters covered, easily recommend this course to the (past beginner) novice to shooters that just want to pick up skills to shoot faster and more accurately.
I loved every single minute of my Force on Force training. Dorr and Dave were excellent. They pushed us hard and made allowances for mistakes, but were sure to put pressure on us not to make them again, which was why I signed up. I’ll definitely be doing more courses.
Just to stress how important this training is, today I found myself in a situation while at a jet car wash in an area I was unfamiliar with that could have ended very badly for me, and others. I immediately remembered what I’d learned from this course and used it to stay safe and get myself out of what had the potential to get very ugly, very fast. Thank you Dorr, Dave and all at Tactical Hyve. You never know when you you need to think fast and act.
I recently completed the Cheat Codes of Shooting 3-day workshop in Boulder City, Nevada, and if i could,I would give this course a 6-STAR rating!
Having been shooting for just over 2 years, I spent countless hours on YouTube watching How To videos, practicing dry fire, and spending time at the range. Despite my efforts, I felt like I was hitting a wall, and my progress was slower than I wanted. It started to feel like I was wasting money practicing drills not knowing why my shots were going all over the place. That’s when I decided to invest in myself and enroll in this workshop. Halfway through the first day, I knew I had made the right decision and was excited for the days ahead.
Myles, our instructor, is awesome. He explains each topic in a way that’s easy to understand, regardless of your skill level. After discussing each topic, he demonstrates it with varying levels of performance. The course name couldn’t be more fitting—the tools provided truly feel like a cheat code, and the knowledge I’ve gained is invaluable. With guidance from Myles and the Tactical Hyve team, I now have the tools to excel in practical shooting.
Overall, I’m very happy I chose this workshop with Tactical Hyve. There’s no better way to put bullets downrange productively! I highly recommend this workshop to anyone aiming to improve their shooting performance. I’m excited to keep honing my skills, join local competitions, and enroll in another course in the future.
The class was exceptional. It added the fundamentals that I never knew I needed. I was so impressed as it was unlike any other class that I have ever taken. I’m a better shooter because of the class.
The Cheat Codes of Shooting is a great workshop for new shooters and experienced shooters alike. The Tactical Hyve staff do a great job of breaking down in great detail every aspect of shooting accurately and efficiently while keeping the class engaged in the discussion. Whether it’s the basics of a shooting stance, proper grip, proper sight alignment, to the quick transitioning between multiple targets accurately, Tactical Hyve gets you up to speed quickly and safely. This is a must do course for beginner shooters looking to get their skill sets up to speed and experienced shooters looking for those tweaks and tips to take you to a higher level of shooting.
I am a longtime pistol shooter from Florida, and just completed the 3-day workshop in Lakeland. Fantastic class! Myles is an excellent instructor and passionate about the shooting sports. A lot of cutting edge knowledge that you will not be taught at other schools. I have been to many other top-notch schools and they have never shared the secrets that Myles has shared with us. Thank you Myles.
Miles and staff were professioanl, friendly, approachable and enjoyable to work with. Miles has an outgoing personality. Miles was professional the whole time. While teaching on each module he talked with you not down to you. Julie and I were both outside our comfort zone learning news skill sets. But Miles gave it to us in manageable modules and told us it was alright to make mistakes but at the same time he set high standards. He set some lofty standards of performance, but acknowledged that our level of expertise varied and that was ok. Miles and staff run the range safely at all times. I felt comfortable but not complacent. Miles really opened our eyes to what’s possible. It’s up to us to set our goals, train and practice to reach them. Miles, thank you for your time and the excellent training.
The course was OUTSTANDING! I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in improving their shooting skills. Myles is a fantastic instructor able to relate to the new shooter as well a more experienced one. At times I felt overwhelmed with the firehose of information he was presenting but look forward to receiving the class notes to go back and review.
For my son and myself this was a follow on for the Cheat Codes 1-Day Workshop and it was not disappointing. Myles knocked it out of the ball park again! We gained so much out of this course that truly our shooting proficiency. I highly recommend this course and the 1 day class as they go hand in hand. Great experience, great instructor which made us much better, more accurate shooters!
Marcie put on a great class! As an experienced shooter and instructor it was good to be a student, and get back to the basics. This class tightened me up on some bad habits. Definitely recommend
Awesome Class! The instructor Steve and his crew were great
this class is a great confidence builder, the best day at the range
Dor was an amazing and knowledgeable instructor. The class covered fundamentals and focused on building a solid foundation. I really enjoyed the class and how Dor was helpful and responsive to everyone’s questions and needs. Definitely recommend. FYI… class is better with a OWB holster. I did it with a IWB appendix carry and still had a great time and learned important skills.
