I am SO glad I signed up with Ira, I did a basic intro 101, learned so many things!! Went in knowing very little and by the afternoon I was confident in my self defense skills. Bring your questions Ira will have the answers. Very trustworthy, Reliable, Patient & knowledgeable. I really appreciated his communication from the moment I sent a message inquiring about scheduling - to reminding me the night before, of our appointment. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to learn from zero or sharpen their skills in a no pressure no rush environment. read more

Just had my Bachelor weekend and this was one of the top highlights of my entire trip! As someone who has never shot a gun before, I learned so much from Ira of BASE firearms. He was not only a great instructor, but was incredibly knowledgable when it came to safety, history, and personal experience with all the firearms. Dude was cool as hell too! The selection of firearms were plenty and our group found all the packages to be fairly priced. We all opted for the Full Auto Tahoe and all were very happy with our choice. Definitely coming back when I'm back in town, and highly recommend this experience to folks of all background and experience. read more

BASE Firearms - Incredible loadout, had all firearms that our group could possibly think of trying. The 50 Cal was a crazy surprise! - Firearm Training Near Me

Incredible Experience with BASE Firearms and Training. Just like the reviews said, Ira is a great instructor and human being. My wife learned a ton on how to protect and handle herself. She was grinning ear to ear after. I have experience, but Ira taught me a refresher as well. He had a wide selection and really made it so enjoyable with his respectful, personable and great personality. It's also great he is very experienced serving in the military, SWAT and local police. You can tell Ira is so passionate about helping others and we would highly recommend BASE when you're in the area. read more

My son came home fr vacation before going back his next Navy duty. I decided to take him to shooting range locally but i didnt like 2 things I read in the comments 1. Rude staff 2. They dont have guns for rental. Since we are taking my son to tahoe we decided to just do it in tahoe. My husband found the Base fiream and we are glad we went. We met Ira in the meeting place and took us to the shooting range spot. The place has a nice view. As a 1st time holding a gun, Ira is very patient with us. Ira introduced us to his different kind of guns. He has cool guns! He Taught us the precautions and how to properly hold the gun. He is very patient, professional. Humble and fun guy. I highly recommend Ira to be your guide and instructor. Thanks Ira! read more

Hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had! My friends and I were blown away at the safe, fun environment at BASE Firearms. We did the machine gun package led by Ira. Ira was awesome I'd honestly go back just to hang out with him and the full auto experience was just mind blowing. We started out with the basics, and even though I have some firearms experience he helped me with my grip and technique. One by one we moved up in caliber and fun factor and finished with the grand finale - the full auto AK47! It was by far my favorite, and although it sounded intimidating at first, it felt great to let it rip. I'll definitely be back and with more friends next time. Thanks Ira! read more

Came here for a bachelor party and had an absolute blast! This was my first shooting and it was a great experience. Ira and Mike were the perfect hype men cheering us on with each shot while also being careful instructors who made sure we were safe the whole time.

Our party of three booked BASE for a shooting session. We met Ira and Mike and they took us to a great spot out in the desert. They both did a great job of taking a moment to understand our experience and comfort level. They made very sure we knew the gun/range safety rules. They also did a great job of reinforcing safety throughout our session. The variety of guns we got to shoot was amazing (we all did the Full Auto Frenzy package). I'm a fairly experienced shooter, and I still learned some new things from Ira and Mike. They were both very helpful, friendly and engaged the whole time. Here's the bottom line. If you enjoy guns, this is a "must do" experience. If you're not familiar with guns and want to try something new and gun, give it a try. You'll have a blast! Worth every penny. read more

We had a great time shooting a mix of their weapons and ours while they provided feedback on our shooting styles. The instructors themselves were very knowledgeable and treated our group excellently.

Honored to have been taught by him and highly recommend! read more

Information presented is current with the latest legislative updates. j. Ira has a great outgoing friendly personality. k. Extremely safety conscious at all times, both in the classroom and on the range. I can't think of a single negative regarding Base Firearms training. read more

Great handgun 101 private sessions with Ira and Dave! I wanted to go over the basics of different semi-autos and revolvers to get a sense of where I'd like to invest with my first gun. They have adjusted the program to fit my needs - I learned a ton, and got to try various systems and ammo. Throughout the program, as we were covering more and more material, I felt safe and confident handling guns for the first time. Great learning experience! read more

I bought my boyfriend the "Full Auto Frenzy" package for Christmas. I coordinated with the owner, Ira, and he was super responsive and very helpful in planning the perfect experience. You could tell Ira was super passionate about educating people on using guns safely. He gave us some really good and important training information before we started. He asked us if we had questions more than once and made us feel comfortable enough to actually ask them without fear of feeling dumb. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this company for a fun and educational shooting experience!!! read more

Believe or not, but Santa conceal carries* all of the time. That's right, Santa is packin'. Hey boys and girls. I took my training from Kris at Bullseye. I had so much fun shooting and learning how to draw. So cool. If you live in Nevada or visit the South Lake Tahoe region often you should get your CCP. You can even get it if you live in a different state, like California So what are you waiting for!!!!! Ho Ho Ho... Santa read more

Went as part of a bachelor party with 11 guys at variable experience levels. The full auto frenzy is insane and everything you think it would be. Ira is a legend. Taught us a bunch and kept things fun and friendly the entire time. Very cool piece was that his guns are the soundtrack for Modern Warfare 2. Would go back in a heartbeat. Easily the highlight of the entire weekend for all 11 of us. read more

This place is pretty bad... lack of customer service, genuine knowledge of weapons (guns) and very expensive in every aspect of the business. Wonder how this place even serves Gardnerville... and is still around for that matter. Do not do business here..... oh they closed down... go figure! read more

Me and the girlfriend decided to bite the bullet and try out BASE firearms and we were not disappointed one bit! Ira and Mike provided us with a great experience and knowledge about handling their guns at full auto.

BASE Firearms - Firearm Training Near Me

A group of friends and I decided we wanted to do something special for my buddy's bachelor party near South Lake Tahoe and came across BASE Firearms. Ira was extremely organized and professional organizing and helping us plan the event. We met Ira and Mike at a range in some of Nevada's public land about 40 minutes from the lake. When we arrived they were there waiting with everything we needed to have a safe and fun time shooting. There was a quick overview of the safety procedures, shooting packages, and each firearm available. They made sure each person took turns with each type of firearm before moving to the next. During everyone's turn they helped with any questions we had and gave us pointers if we were a little unsure. Once we everyone had completed event we were allowed to shoot our own guns we brought and they even let us use their targets and dueling tree. Even though the even was over they didn't rush us, gave us pointers, told us stories, and were just genuinely fun respectful guys to hang out and talk with. This was one of the most fun experiences each of us has ever had and I recommend it anyone with basic shooting experience. Five star service, safety, experience, and price. Thank you again Ira and Mike!!! read more

Bullseye Nevada is the absolute best place in the area to buy quality firearms and take amazingly informative classes. They have a friendly, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth staff that can help you pick out the exact brand and model that suits your needs as well as hosts informative and specialized classes for citizens wanting to gain life skills and better acquaint themselves with firearm handling. I've taken a few classes now at Bullseye and the information I've learned in those courses have been extremely valuable. They have EXPERIENCED instructors that not only can help you better understand the course materials but also take you step-by-step in doing the absolute best you can with those abilities. I highly recommend anyone interested in taking a course in survival, firearm handling, CCW, etc. to call Bullseye Nevada (or find them on Facebook) to enroll. Also, if you're in the market for a home defense gun or hobby rifle, they're are the place to go! read more

I had the pleasure of taking a CCW class with Ira this weekend. I must say that he is one of the best instructors I have come across. He comes across relaxed and comfortable which makes for a great classroom environment. He is super knowledgable yet humble. We had a woman that had never handled a gun prior to the class- Ira gave her one on one attention yet somehow was able to not exclude the rest of the class while doing so. He took his time to answer questions and never made you feel dumb for asking it in the first place. Great class overall- I will be taking other courses from Ira and the gang at Base. read more

Kris and Co are a class act! I have purchased numerous firearms from Bullseye and trust them to keep them running smoothly. Instruction is excellent and I love that they have access to and invite other high level instructors to add to the experience. My wife appreciates the the female instructors and the women's classes too! My brothers and I go bananas at the full auto shoots and next summer look forward to participating in the "Men's Retreat" One more thing. With all the 2A cowardice demonstrated by "Big Box" retailers in the past month, my family and I will only support businesses like Bullseye who support or rights and freedoms unconditionally. read more

Very helpful staff! I was in a bind for couple of magazines and these guts were stocked pretty good with pistol mags.

All the people at Bullseye are knowledgeable and super helpful. They have a good inventory and fair prices. I highly recommend shopping there. read more

Great helpful staff who are patient and not just trying to sell you something you don't need. They are also very good for the ladies, as many gun stores tend to be a little disrespectful towards their female customers. However, my wife enjoyed the shop as well. Their inventory is acceptable as well as their prices. read more

Bought a new pistol here lately. Service was friendly and fair price. Firearm had some problems from the factory. Returned to the store and they gave me extra ammo to see if gun would hit its stride,but unfortunately not. They sent it back to factory which replaced several parts, now it shoots perfect. They went the distance to have a happy customer, I will a regular. read more
