XMTG Firearms Training Academy is a Texas-based sniper and firearms school delivering LE/military-driven precision rifle, carbine, and handgun training with selective civilian access.


XMTG Firearms Training Academy (Xtreme Measures Training Group) is a Dallas-area sniper and firearms training school built around real-world law enforcement experience, with a strong emphasis on precision rifle and operational application. Based near Kaufman County, Texas, the academy delivers structured training programs designed primarily for law enforcement, military, and security personnel, while still offering select courses for serious civilian shooters.
The training philosophy is grounded in over 20 years of operational and instructional experience, focusing on practical, mission-relevant skills rather than static range work. Courses are built to develop not just marksmanship, but decision-making, shooter/spotter coordination, and real-world deployment capability.
Core training programs include:
XMTG stands out for its TCOLE-eligible sniper training, making it a legitimate option for Texas law enforcement agencies seeking certified development. The academy also offers flexible or agency-specific programs, reinforcing its role as a professional training provider rather than a one-size-fits-all school.
With a clear focus on sniper and precision rifle capability, XMTG delivers serious instruction for shooters who need performance under pressure, not just hits on steel.
If you’re building real-world sniper or precision rifle capability, XMTG is a school that demands and develops professional standards.
