Big Boar Tactical is made up of several active trainers and range officers in the Dallas area. The principal instructor at Big Boar is Tate Banhart. With a military career and 15 years of professional executive armed bodyguard service behind him, certifications to train across a wide range of courses, and considerable experience as a firearms trainer throughout Texas, Tate brings an enormous wealth of experience to Big Boar Tactical and sets it apart as one of the finest handgun and rifle training programs available.

 

If you want to train under the real deal, and if you want to see your skills improve dramatically, then Big Boar is the place for you.

 

We provide our clients with video training prior to the live courses, so that the time during the live course moves with maximum focus and purpose. We then provide further video training after the live course, giving essential drills that will enable you to take what you learned in the course and continue to improve upon each of the core skill sets.

 

And it doesn't stop there. As a Big Boar Tactical course graduate, you are given a web page of your own on our site (either under your real name or under an alias you assign). This page records your accomplishments in the various Big Boar courses, your best times and stats, and even photos and short video clips of you from the training (unless you choose to remain anonymous).

 

Being able to return to Big Boar for our "Stay-Sharp" sessions gives you the opportunity of continually improving your times and stats on your web page — and those stats then become one of the components that gets you invited to our quarterly Big Boar competitions, where you can take the skills you have learned and compete against other shooters in your same category.

 

In the end, everyone here at Big Boar Tactical is dedicated to making sure you get better at shooting in a wide variety of environments and circumstances. And we are equally dedicated to making sure you have a lot of FUN doing it!

 

You are going to love the days you spend at Big Boar Tactical.
