NTS Youth Self-Defense Shooting League (a.k.a. "NTS Youth")
A Division of North Texas Shooting & Training, an Education Resource
NTS Youth is a program for emotionally mature 8-20-year-olds who spend the first quarter of each meeting learning and reaffirming firearm safety. The second quarter of your child's time is spent learning the majority of the same training programs offered to adults, but stretched out over weekly sessions to improve understanding and retention. The third quarter of their time is spent on the range, drilling on proper techniques, accuracy, and precision, all based on real-life self-defense scenarios. The last quarter of your child's time is spent exploring the athletic aspects of shooting sports, including competitions.
Orientation is free. Equipment is provided. Regular dues are $25.00/week.
***Register during our Christmas Black Friday Sale, dues are 50% off for the first four months from the date of the first class.
Training occurs on Saturdays, at a time that suits as many students as possible. We will meet at the East Texas Rifle & Pistol Club in Longview, Texas.
Pre-registration is required. If you would like to attend your first training day free of charge, you must contact us for the coupon code (First Day Free).
About Brian J. Plowman, Owner/Instructor, Veteran
Brian's education in the proper use and responsibilities associated with firearms began at the age of 8, under the tutelage of his father. As a young adult, Brian served his country as an Airman in the U.S. Air Force, where he rose through the ranks in the field of Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD).
After the military, Brian's civilian life culminated in the founding of North Texas Shooting Complex, now North Texas Shooting & Training Education. Like most start-ups, NTS was Brian's side hustle. Business began to grow in 2019. In 2022, Brian and his wife moved to East Texas. Slow to make client contacts in a new region of Texas, Brian patiently persevered. Now 2025, North Texas Shooting is already reaching new clients.
