Feedback
After hundreds of hours of training with firearms instructors from law enforcement to Navy SEALs and US Special Forces and shooting competitively for many years, I thought I knew a lot about shooting.
I was wrong! The longer I trained and the more instructors I met, the less I felt I took away from any class other than some faster draw strokes to first shot or pairs at 7 yards.
This is an entirely other level! I wish I could go back in time and make Tactical Hyve the team I trusted to make me more capable as a shooter. Past classes reinforced the same material over and over with some occasional bias from the instructor based on their particular background; while Myles and his team bring together the best of combat tools with competitive smoothness and a scientific approach to shooting that is proven effective right before your eyes and in your own hands.
They take skills I have learned before and add layers and improvements that never even occurred to me.
The capacity of the instructional team to serve as diagnosticians was the best I have ever encountered, and this is what you should be paying for in a class, not just a guy with a stopwatch.
There was also no “my way or the highway”. Every tactic or improvement was offered with a “try this and see if it works for you or fits your style”. Incredibly refreshing and non-dogmatic.
This is what firearms training SHOULD be. I have already referred other friends to save them the fortune I spent chasing good instruction before I found Tactical Hive. I will be back!
I walked into this class expecting just another routine refresher—something to brush up on the basics. But what I got was far more comprehensive and impactful than I imagined. Tactical Hyve takes firearms training to a whole new level, pushing well beyond the conventional instruction offered by most. From the outset, it was clear that Myles and his team are operating on a different tier. Their approach is not only professional and well-structured but also refreshingly modern and grounded in solid reasoning.
What really stood out was how they don’t just teach the “how” but focus heavily on the “why” behind each technique. That level of insight brings clarity and purpose to everything from grip and stance to more nuanced concepts like natural point of aim. “Cheat Codes” is a game-changer—it breaks down key fundamentals in a way that makes you rethink what you thought you knew, and it sharpens your performance significantly.
If you’re fortunate enough to attend one of these classes, consider it an investment in your skillset and confidence. It’s not just training—it’s an eye-opening experience that will challenge and elevate your shooting in ways you didn’t expect.
Far exceeded my expectations. Myles is uniquely gifted in conveying foundational concepts and their implementation into advanced techniques. He designed and presents his curriculum in a practical manner giving you an understanding of how and what you need to train to achieve your goals. The insights and training techniques you learn come from the knowledge of top tier shooters and countless rounds down range. I was particularly blown away by one specific part on the use of vision and target transitions that actually had you feel and understand leading with the eyes the right way. That alone, made this program totally worth it to me. There is so much more valuable information that I hope to do the program again once I train some of the techniques presented and need to reevaluate my progress.
I highly recommend this course to most shooters but think you would get the most benefit once you have good basic skills and are familiar with gun handling. I also recommend you use a full size gun you are familiar with and bring good basic belt and holster setup. Not so much for conceal carry but a setup that is reliable and easy to draw and holster safely.
Thank you Myles and Tactical Hyve for an excellent experience. I look forward to training with the tools and techniques you have given to me.

This was my first experience with TacticalHyve - and I keep wondering why haven’t I reached out to them earlier.
Cheat codes workshop should be mandatory to any gun owner. Amount of information is immense - yet it neatly packed into digestable pieces, and supplemented with abundance of practice. Instructors on the range are very knowledgeable, respectful and ready to help and correct mistakes.
Myles himself is humble, extremely professional and his way of teaching is very structured. Same goes to everyone on his team.
Students on the workshop had different levels of expertise and different gear - yet all of them had something to learn, mistakes to correct and with the help of TacticalHyve team all of us stepped up our game.
All in all, this workshop has extreme value. I became more collected, smooth and precise with my gun.
Will absolutely recommend to my friends and family.
Thank you!
I highly recommend “Cheat Codes of Shooting”, for anyone interested in improving their technique and gun handling skills. If you want to recover recoil faster and improve accuracy while on the move, after this training you will without doubt reach your next level.
Myles is a Professional Instructor and exceptionally humble in his training approach. He confidently conveys the conceptual techniques and principles to all levels, from beginner to experienced marksmen, everyone gaining a higher confidence and improved marked performance.

What a great workshop. Learned so much from Myles and his assistant instructors. He really made things easy to understand and could demonstrate what he was teaching. Lots of trigger pulls and exploration involved with this class. He really knows his stuff and gives a lot of insight on shooting principles and techniques. I would definitely recommend this class probably not so much for the beginner shooter, but someone who has taken good basic classes and understands how to manipulate one’s tool. Thank you so much guys. I appreciate it.
I recently attended the Cheat Codes of Shooting™ 3-Day Workshop in Richmond, CA, led by instructor Miles at Tactical Hive, and it was an outstanding experience! Miles brought a wealth of knowledge and practical expertise to the course, making complex shooting techniques accessible through clear instruction and hands-on practice. The focus on learning through shooting and repetition was incredibly effective, helping me build confidence and refine my skills.
Miles was exceptionally helpful, providing personalized attention that made the class feel tailored to each participant’s needs. His ability to break down concepts and offer real-world insights kept everyone engaged and motivated. Despite a minor challenge with the venue, Miles adapted seamlessly, ensuring the training remained top-notch and the experience was both enjoyable and impactful.
I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to elevate their shooting skills in a supportive, expert-led environment. Tactical Hive and Miles deliver a fantastic, results-driven course! Johann
These guys are the real deal! I’ve struggled so much with misinformation, and always doubted my instincts due to false info and because of this course I regained my confidence on DIAGNOSING my shot. I learned proper fundamentals to adjust the personal side of my shots, and path to actual improvements. Shooting is a very personal thing, there’s no hacks to improving your shot, these guys will help you figure your necessary personal touches to get things done correctly and improve your shots.
I’m a repetition learner, and I was able to get better just from the course. I seen quick learners taking the course with me go from large groupings to 1-2in groupings.
Worth every penny, the instructors have my highest respect and gratitude for teaching me so much.
I thought your instructors were great! Sonny is super knowledgeable and both Dans were very helpful. I like how engaged they all were. The class seemed split on skill level, but it was hardly noticeable. I learned a TON! I left this class with more confidence than I could have imagined. I can confidently say I’m at least a 100% better shooter than I was before taking this class
I attended the Tactical Hyve Tactical Pistol/Carbine 1 course this past weekend in Escondido, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
The instructors, Jonny and Jay, were excellent—professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. They created an environment that was both safe and encouraging, which made it easy to learn and ask questions.
The course itself was extremely informative and exactly what I was looking for as I continue building my confidence with firearms. We covered a wide range of topics, including systems safety, firearm functionality, and practical gear setup such as plate carriers and belt layouts. I especially appreciated the introduction to more advanced (yet still beginner-accessible) field operations, which really helped bridge the gap between basic handling and real-world application.
Overall, this training exceeded my expectations. I left with a much stronger understanding of both the technical and practical aspects of firearm use, along with greater confidence in my abilities. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build a solid foundation and progress their skills in a safe, supportive environment.
Really appreciated the 3 different skill level groups with different standards.
Great course, great instructors! Myles, Brock and Dorr, very good instruction and works with each person individually to improve on their skill set. I definitely recommend this course for anyone who has a CCW and looking improve your fundamentals of shooting.
Training was great, good progression from easy to hard enough to challenge shooters. When shooters encountered difficulties, for whatever reason, individual attention was given and corrections offered. Simple steps, easy to understand, were offered and encouragement by instructors created confidence in the shooter. Result was better performance.
Johnnie is a great instructor and a solid marksman. Pleasure and honor to work with him through this workshop! Jay did a great job assisting. Well done workshop! Will be back for more!
This is the third class I took with Tactical Hyve (Miles, Dorr, and new to me Brock). Great class, well recommended. They teach the fundamentals which matter in real life defensive situations at short distance: quick draw and follow up shots, and pushing your limits.
Overall very happy with the training. Knowledgeable instructor with a good sense of humor and didn’t take himself too seriously.
They helped me with my primary issue, which was recoil management. Very knowledgeable staff.
I am very pleased with the training. I consider myself an intermediate shooter, and was looking for techniques that would help improve my shooting. I picked up quite a few valuable nuggets - especially with my grip. I also now understand the “natural point of aim”. The exercise made it easy to understand how it works, and how to adjust your body.
I appreciated how the fundamentals were explained in easy to understand detail, and demonstrated. Then we practiced dry fire, working with a partner, and feedback from the excellent instructors, Larry and Jon. This was followed by live fire working on the techniques. My shoulders were sore for the next two days because of all the practice - which is a good thing!
This class is worth every penny! Thank you, Larry and Jon for your professionalism, insights, and passion. – Joyce Gould, Fort Worth, TX
Great class and content shared by Dor. I feel more comfortable presenting and moving with my carbine. Looking forward to practicing more in the future.
I have to commend Tactical Hyve and its instructors on a great course. Compared to previous lessons I’ve taken this course really went down the rabbit hole in terms of theory, mechanics, and technique. And this was only Cheat Code 1! Once I’ve spent some time ingraining what I learned I will definitely go further down the hole with the more advanced classes.
Very clear information to assist a shooter improve their skills
Great class and insight into combat shooting with a seasoned veteran!
Very professional and informative. I’ve learned a lot and will continue to practice what I’ve learned. Funniest part was the guy who decided to leave because the training RSO magazine was in his firearm. There’s always that one! I will continue to sign up for more teachings!
Cheat Codes of Shooting 1 course with Tactical Hyve was an excellent experience from start to finish.
The instructors were very good—knowledgeable, professional, and highly effective at communicating complex concepts in a clear and practical way. The material was presented in a structured format that made it easy to follow, even though the course covers a great deal of information.
This class is a great foundation for anyone looking to build proper handgun fundamentals. It emphasizes correct technique, efficient movement, and consistency—skills that can be taken directly to the range and perfected through practice.
One of the biggest takeaways is how valuable this course is early in a shooter’s development. Learning these principles up front can help prevent the formation of bad habits that are often difficult to correct later on.
I highly recommend this course to anyone serious about improving their handgun skills, especially those early in their shooting journey. I’ll definitely be looking to attend more classes with Tactical Hyve
