Alex Acosta

Hey there! I'm Alex Acosta, a dedicated marksman and a USPSA Grandmaster based in Austin, Texas. For me, learning never stops when it comes to mastering firearms skills and techniques. I'm all about diving deep into the psychology, mechanics, and principles that make one excel in firearm performance.

My journey in this is marked by tons of hours of training with top-notch schools nationwide and continuous evaluation through competition. I'm always searching for new strategies and knowledge, especially about force application, situational management, de-escalation techniques, and low-light operations.

What really drives me, though, is seeing my students succeed. I'm here to teach, mentor, guide, and support each student on their proficiency and safe firearm handling path. Let's learn together!
