Class Size: 1 on 1 with the instructor or bring up to 3 friends/family for a private group. Larger groups can be accommodated as well.
Class Objectives: Complete the proficiency demonstration for the Texas LTC. You will receive an LTC-104 at the completion with the “Range Instruction” and “Proficiency Demonstration” sections signed off by an LTC instructor.

Location: Staccato Ranch, Florence TX. All range fees are paid for in your registration cost.
Prerequisites: Must be able to safely load, unload, and operate a handgun. Must be able to shoot a handgun at distances from 3 yards to 15 yards. The online LTC class does not need to be completed beforehand.
This class does not teach you how to shoot. It is a shooting qualification. You are demonstrating to the instructor that you know how to handle and shoot a handgun safely.
If you need to complete the qualification and would like to learn how to shoot, please schedule a private training session.
Equipment Needed:
- Handgun with magazine (unless renting)
- 50 rounds of new ammunition (unless renting)
- Optional: Holster if you have one
- Not used for the qualification
- Hearing/eye protection
- Clothing appropriate for the weather
- Driver’s license or ID card
This is not your typical proficiency demonstration! Utilizing the time the state requires for the session; we can work on your shooting technique and fundamentals. Instead of sitting in another lecture, we will work on making improvements where it matters most.
Everyone that takes a Texas online License to Carry class will need to complete the proficiency demonstration with a Texas LTC instructor. Prior shooting experience with the ability to safety and properly handle your pistol is required. This does not teach students how to shoot.
Private proficiency demonstrations are conducted with instructor Joel Kuchenski. These are not group sessions, but one-on-one sessions with the option to bring up to 4 friends/family. Classes are conducted at Staccato Ranch in Florence Texas, just outside of Austin. All range fees are included in the class registration cost.
Proficiency demonstrations can be scheduled and completed before or after the online LTC class is completed. The order does not matter.

LTC Proficiency Demonstration
The license to carry qualification requires students to know how to safely handle and shoot a handgun from 3 yards to 15 yards. It is not a class on how to shoot. Any students that show up to a proficiency demonstration/qualification without prior handgun experience will be turned away. This is based solely on the discretion of the instructor. No refunds will be provided.
No refunds will be issued for failed LTC qualifications. At the discretion of the instruction, LTC qualifications can be scheduled again with another session purchase.
