If you've never shot a gun before, you are truly in good hands at Basic Lee Firearms. The…read moreinstructors Oxford, Mark, and Jay give clear, precise instructions that make you feel safe, supported, and confident from the very beginning. We started with the FUNdamentals, which was the perfect intro. Everything was explained step-by-step, and the team never leaves your side during the intro to firearms. It's incredibly personal and interactive, they cheer you on whether you hit the target or are close enough (like me ;-p). Halfway through, I felt genuinely confident, which says a lot for someone new. And if you're ready to level up, they also offer intermediate and advanced instruction. If you're in the East Bay and enjoy outdoor activities, the range is located in Richmond, CA at the Rod & Gun Club, which is a great setting. Highly Recommend!

It seems silly, but your child may someday come upon a gun or be handed one by a dumb friend. Accidents happen and people do stupid things. Kelly taught all 4 of my kids and my wife (and me) how to handle a pistol safely how to operate it safely, how a range operates. How to fire them safely and accurately. I think this is something they'll remember their entire lives. It may seem silly, but these are really life lessons that should be taught young. Kelly was a consummate professional, good with the kids, good with the adults, and really supportive. I feel very lucky to have had her class and am glad my children have had this experience.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Debbie. She was so patient and empathetic throughout the whole session, and that made a huge difference. She has a way of just calming your anxieties and making everything feel manageable, even if you are starting from zero. The class itself is super straightforward and stays focused on the essentials. You learn how to handle a gun, the most important safety rules, and how to build up your confidence. It never felt like a stiff lecture. Instead, it felt like learning from a pro who genuinely wants you to be safe. I walked out feeling way more capable than when I walked in. If you want a supportive and low-stress environment to learn the ropes, definitely sign up!

I really appreciated how the instruction was relevant to both competition shooting and real-world applications, which made the training especially valuable. One of the things I appreciated most was the individual feedback on how I can improve my practice sessions to continue building my shooting ability. That personal attention made the class even more useful and actionable. James and Joe are great instructors--knowledgeable, professional, and effective communicators. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to improve their pistol skills in a meaningful way.

He and his crew were extremely knowledgeable about the art of shooting. Come prepared to learn the drills. Take notes. What he will teach you, will certainly help improve your game. This is not a beginner course, and you should have some experience shooting a pistol, however, you do not need to be an expert, and but know how to handle your weapon. I cannot recommend T3 Pros enough, and will certainly take more of his classes as they come up.

What fun I had! Bill is not only a fantastic instructor, incredibly knowledgeable, patient and personable, but he's great company to boot. You'd be hard pressed to ask Bill anything about guns and gun safety that he doesn't know, or to find a better instructor. I couldn't recommend him more for anyone wanting a great experience to learn about, use and feel more comfortable around firearms. We'll be going back to see Bill again for sure.

Gabe engaged both individuals with regard to safety, awareness, clearing malfunctions, stance, grip, sights and target focus...and the last 2-3 hours spent running drills through a stage that he set up. Movement and agility could be practiced, modified, sped up, adding layered motion and actions. All the while, Gabe is watching and identifying what could be done to get to where you need to be..unload, reload, get your stance right, and hit your mark. There was never any awkwardness. Any and all questions were asked without reservation. Gabe brings his enthusiasm and respect for the sport and discipline to the range. His clear communication and knowing how to string steps together to achieve fluid motion and muscle memory made both students want to learn more, be accurate and speed up! I cannot say enough fantastic things about this training...except that I'd love to have a full day session with a lunch break and more time to run drills at different stages...but to be honest, it was intense....and I started to get tired. In fact, today is the day after and every muscle in my body aches. This means..I went ALL IN. It says a lot when an instructor can motivate and have you digging deep to pull out all your effort and focus. Absolutely phenomenal training and I'm already checking with folks who can join me the next go around!!!
