NRA Master Training Counselor Tom Yackley has been actively involved in the shooting community for over 50 years.
Tom has been publicized by the NRA’s TRADITIONS magazine and has participated in, and guided countless big game and bird hunts across the Americas, and the globe. He has also attended training at the Remington Shooting School, The Front Site Training Center, The Hollow Training Center, and the WCC Center for Armed Security Training. Tom has organized youth shooting camps and worked with different youth groups for the past half century to foster a lifelong interest in the safe use of firearms for the younger generations. He has dedicated his entire life to the upholding of American principles and to the current firearms movement by refusing to compromise on his high standards for training. As the founder and Master T.C. of the Range And Field Training Team, it was Mr. Yackley that brought the instructor core of Black Flag together; he broke us through all barriers as we developed and thrived as instructors, and he continues to be a mentor in all aspects of our continuing drive for excellence.

“History is very informative. To better understand the Constitution, you need to read the many articles written about the founders of this country and why the Constitution is written as it is written to protect the citizens of this great country from enemies from without and within. The Second Amendment is there to provide the means to do just that. Those of us that truly believe in defending the country will do all we can do to assist others in realizing their abilities in defending their country, family and way of life. All of us who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution need to follow through on this promise. Providing this training is what I do.”
