    This was my 2nd training session with Basiclee Firearms, and it was just as great as the first! I brought my brother for his first-ever shooting experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Oxford & his team are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, breaking everything down in a way that's easy to understand. Their instructions on firearm handling and shooting were clear, with a strong emphasis on safety. They also provided hands-on guidance, correcting our form and offering useful pointers throughout the session, which helped us hit the target accurately and consistently. The environment was welcoming & professional--structured but never intimidating. We were able to learn at our own pace, and their teaching style made the process smooth and enjoyable. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I highly recommend Basiclee Firearms. I'll definitely be back!

    Not bad

    Oxford is great at what he does. Very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. I learned a lot in one lesson, I would highly recommend taking a firearms training here, after one visit I felt very comfortable handling my firearm properly and safely. A+

    Just had my first lesson with Mark and Oxford! They were very thorough in going over the basics of firearms training and safety with gentle corrections, encouragements, and reminders. As someone who has never had any experience prior, I would recommend them as instructors.

    I took my dad to Basiclee for his birthday, and it was truly an amazing experience. Having never shot guns before, we were met with utmost kindness, patience, and professionalism from Oxford and his staff. His expertise and care were apparent throughout the entire lesson, and after learning in great detail all the essential safety and handling techniques, we began to shoot. So (so) much fun! His instruction was incredibly clear and informative. As a cherry-on-top, he brought out one final board with balloons on it for my dad to shoot at the end of the lesson. For anyone looking to learn from a real professional who cares about your safety and skills, I cannot recommend Oxford and his team enough! Thank you again!

    Oxford and his team are extremely qualified and knowledgeable. I found his lesson to be easy to understand, as above all else patient and professional. Although it wasn't my first time shooting, I still get anxious whenever I start off and Oxford was reassuring me the entire time. I highly recommend the basic lesson for anyone who needs a refresher or is interested in shooting for their first time! Thanks again! 10/10!!

    I HIGHLY recommend Oxford for anyone looking to try shooting for the first time or to refresh their skills. As a first-timer, I was pretty nervous, but by the end of the lesson, I was excited for the next session. Safety was the top priority, and I really appreciated how it was emphasized right from the start. Oxford was incredibly patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. Handling a firearm for the first time can be nerve-wracking, but his guidance and encouragement helped me feel more confident as the lesson went on. Don't hesitate to ask questions--he's always open and welcoming to them. There's so much more I could say about how great the lesson went with Oxford, but the best way to find out is to give it a try yourself. Without a doubt, I recommend giving Oxford a shot!

    I really enjoyed my basic pistol training by Oxford today. Him and his team are super patient when teaching, I really appreciated that since it was my first time handling a pistol. Oxford offers different pistols to try from also, that was really helpful. I can't wait to receive more training from Oxford and his team. I definitely recommend him.

    I never really write reviews, but I seriously had to for this one because the experience was just that incredible. I came in literally shaking--I was super nervous since I've never done anything like this before. But Ox and Mark made me feel safe, seen, and supported the entire time. They were insanely patient and kind, and they really knew how to read the room. They picked up on the nerves in our group right away and adjusted the pace and tone to make sure everyone felt comfortable. They were clear, calm, and super respectful--never condescending or intimidating. Instead, they focused on building our confidence, explaining things in a way that actually stuck, and encouraging us the whole way through. They emphasized safety in a way that didn't feel overwhelming, but empowering. I left not only feeling more confident handling a firearm, but also excited to keep learning and practicing. You can tell they care deeply about what they do and the people they teach. Huge thank you to Mark and Ox. I'm 100% coming back--this is the only team I'd want to learn from!

    I booked a 2 person training with GMC training this past Monday. 1 person has never actually…read moreheld/fired a firearm (Video games do not count) 1 person is solid proficient but wants to take it to the next level...competition shooting. 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!!!

    I have had a total of 3 training sessions with Gabe. I would strongly recommend him for all skill…read morelevels. Gabe is patient, wants his students to truly succeed through learning and is helpful at demoing new concepts with clarity. Whether you're looking for help with competitive shooting or a newer shooter looking to see what's out there, I do think Gabe can help broaden horizons of those new & experienced through his dedication to the craft.
