Full description and what we offer
Phillip McKinney is the lead instructor at Blackjack Tactical, bringing more than two decades of firearms safety and training experience. His approach goes beyond checking boxes—he focuses on building actual competence and confidence, not just getting students through a test.
Kendra handles operations and assists during classes, creating an environment that students describe as relaxed and supportive. Together they've developed a reputation for making firearms training accessible to absolute beginners and experienced shooters alike.
Classes happen in a home environment with attention to detail—students mention muffins, lunch charcuterie boards, and a genuinely comfortable setting that removes the intimidation factor.
"Phil's vast knowledge of gun safety and proper techniques made this class well worth the day! Had me shooting safely and accurately on my first mag!" - Bobby
"The instructors not only deliver the formal information, they apply a real world view. They don't just make sure you pass, they make sure you're knowledgeable & prepared." - Liz
"I learned so much about handling my pistol and gained confidence in concealing to be able to protect me and my kids." - Courtney
Students consistently highlight the real-world perspective, clear demonstrations, one-on-one attention during practice, and the welcoming atmosphere. First-time shooters feel supported; veterans appreciate the practical focus.
Serves all of St. Landry Parish and surrounding Acadiana communities. Gift cards available for training packages.
