Hello. I’m Joe Woolley, President of Firearms Operations and Responsibility Training of Texas (F.O.R.T. Texas). I am the License to Carry instructor at American Shooting Centers as well one of their primary rifle and pistol instructors.
I draw on over 35 years of firearms training and competitive shooting experience with the United States Practical Shooting Association – many of those as a Master Class Shooter. I also competed in Precision Rifle matches for two more years where I was ranked as a local Expert. Old knees eventually told me to retire.
I have also earned six NRA instructor certifications. In 2013 I was awarded a Regional Counselor certification for the NRA’s Refuse to Be a Victim® program and achieved Training Counselor credentials in 2016 for NRA firearms classes.
My wife Cherie, also an NRA instructor, adds another 18 years of competitive shooting and firearms training experience to the team. Her smile, personality and the home-made brownies (not that kind) she bakes for all of our group classes combine to make our classes something different than you might expect.

To the best of my knowledge, I am the only active instructor in Southeast Texas teaching the NRA designed Metallic Cartridge Reloading class. Classes are offered regularly throughout the first half of the year (I get kinda busy teaching rifle lessons during hunting season)..
