John Tyson Hudson has been teaching firearms in the Oklahoma City area for 15 years — safe gun handling, self-defense, concealed carry, and practical tactical shooting on his private range in Guthrie.

About John

John Tyson Hudson is a sheriff’s deputy, range master for the sheriff’s office, and a competition shooter. For 15 years he has trained beginners, SDA students, and experienced shooters across the Oklahoma City metro, Edmond, and Guthrie.

He trains on his own private range, so the class is built around you — not a crowded public line. He has invested more than $40,000 in his own firearms education and holds over 1,000 hours of certified training.

Students describe him as attentive, patient, and highly skilled. He has a long list of five-star reviews — including from law enforcement — and has improved the shooting of hundreds of gun owners.

Whether you need the Oklahoma SDA class, a first lesson, or serious work on speed and accuracy, you leave with skills that matter if you ever have to defend yourself or your family.
