Why D&S Tactics

Not a sport range. Not an adventure agency.

We teach skills that hold up when the rules of the sporting arena stop applying. Every course is built on real army service and deployments abroad.

01

Real experience

Instructors with years of service in the Czech Army and deployments abroad. We don't teach from manuals — we pass on what we've done ourselves.

02

Safety first

Safety isn't a chapter of the course — it's part of every minute of training. From the first briefing to the last shot.

03

A system, not a one-off

Courses build on each other — from fundamentals to advanced tactics. You grow step by step, on solid foundations.

04

Three teaching languages

We train in English, German and Czech — for individuals, international teams and clients from abroad.

Training programs

Choose your training

Five programs, one standard: practical skills you'll carry for life. Beginners welcome — the system guides you from step one.

Training system

From your first shot to small-team tactics

The shooting system has four levels and two tracks — pistol and rifle. You complete the fundamentals and the advanced level in your track, the tracks merge at Level 3, and the tactical module sits at the top. You join at the level that matches your experience.

Pistol trackRifle track
1Fundamentals

Pistol Fundamentals

Safety rules, grip, sight alignment, your first shots with a pistol. For complete beginners.

Rifle Fundamentals

The same for the rifle: handling, marksmanship technique, safe control of a long gun.

2Advanced

Advanced Pistol

Shooting on the move, use of cover, dynamic scenarios. Builds on pistol Level 1.

Advanced Rifle

Position changes, movement, more complex rifle drills. Builds on rifle Level 1.

3Combined

Weapon Transition · both tracks merge

Transitions between rifle and pistol. Prerequisite: fundamentals with both weapons (Level 1 pistol and rifle).

4The peak

Applied Tactics

Individual and small-team movement, communication, cover, spatial awareness — shooting connected with tactics. Prerequisite: Advanced Pistol + Advanced Rifle.

Czech firearms license exam prep: we also offer practical preparation for the proficiency exam (handling, disassembly, range commands, shooting) — dates at strelniceznojmo.cz.

Our story

Founded by soldiers, not marketers

After years of army service and deployments abroad, we stood at a crossroads — what next? One thing was clear: skills that decide survival deserve to be passed on. That's how Drills & Skills Tactics was born.

This isn't an ordinary course. You get field-tested know-how you won't find elsewhere, and you push your endurance and confidence further than you expected. We believe everyone can outgrow their limits — given the right opportunity.

  • Tactical training at the level of professional units
  • Graduates of specialized courses at home and with foreign armed forces
  • Training built on real scenarios, not theory
  • Featured on CZ Defence

For companies

FAQ

What people ask us

Who are the courses for?

For professionals from the military, police and security forces, for civilians — licensed shooters and complete beginners alike — and for corporate teams. We place everyone in a course that matches their experience, so training delivers the most and safety stays first.

Do I need a firearms license?

No. Shooting courses run under instructor supervision at a commercial range — you can rent a firearm from us for €35. License holders are of course welcome to train with their own weapons. And if you're preparing for the Czech firearms license exam, we'll get you ready for its practical part.

I have no experience. Can I do this?

Yes. The basic modules are built for complete beginners — from your first shot or first jump, an instructor guides you step by step. The course system builds progressively, so you grow one level at a time.

Is the airborne course the same as a tandem jump?

No — and that's exactly the point. In a tandem you hang from an instructor. With us you go through real airborne training: ground school, exit drills, canopy control, landing techniques — then 3 solo jumps on the military MC1-1D parachute. You jump on your own.

How much does the airborne course cost, and what's included?

Basic training costs €500: the organizational fee, complete ground training and 3 solo jumps including parachute rental and packing. Refresher course €440, solo jumps €400, free fall from €175. We are not VAT payers — prices are final.

What are the requirements for the airborne course?

Minimum age 15 (under 18 with notarized consent of both parents), a valid Class 2 medical fitness certificate (we can help you arrange it), sturdy ankle boots, long sleeves and long trousers.

What languages do you teach in?

English, German and Czech. We regularly train international groups and clients from abroad.

How many people are needed for an airborne course?

Every airborne course date runs with a minimum of 6 registered participants. If a date doesn't fill, we offer an alternative one or refund your payment. From 6 people we can also open a private date just for your group.

How do I sign up?

Choose a course and date and book in the e-shop, or write to info@dstactics.com (airborne courses: lima@dstactics.com). The whole process is laid out in the Booking section.
