A New Standard in Firearm Training
At Laser Training Academy (LTA), we’re changing the way people train with firearms. Our technologically advanced simulation rooms provide a safe, immersive environment that goes far beyond what traditional gun ranges offer. With seven state-of-the-art rooms designed for everything from basic firearm handling to high-stress decision-making scenarios, we’re here to support shooters at every stage of their journey.
Whether you’re new to firearms or a seasoned marksman, our technology and instruction are tailored to meet you where you are—and help you go further.
A Personal Mission to Fill the Gaps
LTA was born from firsthand experience. As passionate shooters ourselves, we recognized the gaps in accessible, realistic, and complete firearm instruction, especially for those training to defend themselves and their loved ones.
Most facilities focus solely on marksmanship. But real-life self-defense requires more than accuracy. In addition to expert technical skills, accomplished firearms users are also proficient at critical “soft” skills:
- Situational awareness
- Critical threat assessment
- Effective emotional regulation
- Understanding of legal boundaries
Through immersive simulation, we help students build not only technical proficiency but also the mental readiness and rapid judgment needed in unpredictable, high-stress environments.
Because in a crisis, it’s not just about hitting a target. It’s about making the right decision at the right time.
Rooted in Values. Driven by Community.
Everyone, from first-time gun owners to experienced law enforcement professionals, deserves access to training that is safe, supportive, and effective. As a family-owned and operated business in East Texas, LTA is proudly built on faith, patriotism, and integrity. These values guide every decision we make.
We are deeply committed to serving our community and creating a welcoming, family-friendly space where learning is empowering.
Trusted Partnerships. Certified Excellence.
LTA is honored to partner with both the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) and the National Rifle Association (NRA) to offer trusted, high-quality firearms training. Our certified instructors bring deep expertise and compassion to the classroom, delivering courses that cover:
