Tactics & Firearms Training Since 2007

Lighthorse Tactical, LLC is a training company focused on the legal application of tactics, techniques, and procedures. The proper application of these “TTP’s” is based on the user’s own daily world. What works for a SWAT Team on a hostage situation may not be applicable for a Citizen in a parking deck. Our training is based on relevance and realism.
