Variety of different firearms available. We all shot them all!
Garrett S.

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!

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. We got to shoot a wide variety of guns and it was awesome to learn how each one shoots and kicks back. Would highly recommend this place to others in the Tahoe area.

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.

We came out for a bachelor party and had a top notch experience. Both instructors made the range fun and educational. 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. I highly recommend coming here to shoot and learn. Also, booking a reservation was quick and easy and even though we ran a little late they were still very accommodating.

Would recommend We called and got Ira on the phone, already we could feel his good energy. We went to the shooting range with him, and had one of the best experience we ever had. Not only did Ira, know everything about what we tried, he was also a really fun' If we come back, we would love to go on the range again and get ready for a zombie apocalypse

Our party of 5 feels so lucky to have met Ira. He was so patient with all of us and spent roughly 3.5 hours with us. He customized a lesson for us to include gun safety and we got to shoot a bunch of super fun guns. He's really prompt at responding via text. We booked the night before at midnight. Honored to have been taught by him and highly recommend!

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!

Sniper rifle!!!

We are a group of 6 people come together (they do group people), just make an appointment in the morning before you come. Wow my first time shooting guns with Ira and Mike! They are amazing coach to teach me how to take on those "big weapons"! Love it very much! Definitely will come again!

Signed up for the full auto frenzy. The staff were professional and safety orientated. The full auto guns were a blast. This is definitely worth your time and money if you're in south lake Tahoe and looking to shoot shit up. Highly recommended.

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!!!

Shooting qualification.

See all

I had wanted to go to Stewart Indian School for years and finally made it out there today with my…read morehusband. I am so glad we went! The school is in the peaceful, open space of the high desert, surrounded by blooming sage brush and towering cottonwood trees. On our visit, we stopped in the gift shop which was filled with amazing souvenirs and stunning handmade pieces of Native American art. The Native American lady who was a volunteer there had once been a student at the school and had a lot of interesting information to share, both positive and negative. She also wrote her own book about her experience which I bought and she signed for me. In the main museum, another volunteer gave us a tour which we learned a lot from! For instance many of the Native American people who were kidnapped and forced to attend this school came from the Southwest as well as Nevada. The grounds are beautiful. Most of the buildings are made of the colorful stones native to Nevada. Local Students learned how to cut and chisel the stones from the Hopi of the Southwest. They taught their classmates how to build the buildings. Today, the school is a place for Pow wows and for the public to learn about Native American cultures. I urge everyone to come check out this important historical place. The Native American cemetery just across the street is where the famous basketmaker, Datsolalee is buried.

It's odd, but the Indian school culture center and museum doesn't show up anywhere in yelp. It's an…read moreamazing museum, with a lot of historical insight. They even have a research room to learn about American Indian culture and art gallery that displays local artists. We went with a group of kindergartners, and the staff was amazing. They went out of their way to help us, read us books. And designed an age appropriate activity where we planted native seeds for us to plant. Great experience
