Bill provided a fabulous two hour training showing us features/components of a variety of hand guns, mechanics of how they work, key elements to safety and gave us all a shooting experience (with consistent repetition interspersed about safe handling) that helped demystify a gun while still retaining appropriate respect for its power. Both my kids feel better about what a gun is and how to handle a firearm situation if ever it were to come up. Bill is a skilled marksman, a patient teacher and just a pleasure to work with.

He walked me through everything I needed to know as a new owner, including proper handling, fit and sizing, choosing and understanding different shells, loading and unloading, and proper cleaning and maintenance. I especially appreciated that he took the time to explain the why behind everything rather than just going through the motions. I left feeling much more knowledgeable, comfortable, and confident while also having a healthy respect for safe firearm handling. Highly recommend Bill for anyone who is new to shotguns or simply wants professional, safety-focused instruction.

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.

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!

His military experience really shows in the way he teaches and explains things. This isn't my first course with Bay Area Tactical.

BAT consistently does a great job finding experienced, professional instructors who really know what they're doing. The BAT team is also a great group of guys who run a solid program. I've had a great experience every time I've trained with them and will definitely be taking more courses with BAT in the future.

The range is well-kept, nicely put together, and it's clear that the staff genuinely cares about the quality of training they provide. The range is located up in the hills, so be prepared for a little adventure on the way up! If you're attending during the summer, definitely bring plenty of water because it can get pretty hot. The instructor I was assigned to was Dick. I'll be honest--I was a little intimidated at first. Dick is a decorated veteran with experience as a Special Forces assault/sniper, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. As the class went on, though, I quickly realized he was a really cool guy and, most importantly, extremely patient with the students. Dick did a great job breaking down different shooting fundamentals and techniques and making sure everyone understood what we were working on. We went through multiple exercises and spent plenty of time actually training. There was very little downtime--we were pretty much straight to business and putting in the work. The staff at BAT also deserves some recognition. They provided lunch and soft drinks, kept everyone hydrated throughout the day, and made sure the students were doing well throughout the training. Those little things make a difference during a long day on the range. Whether you're a novice, intermediate, or experienced shooter, I'd highly recommend checking these guys out. They have a wide variety of instructors with backgrounds in military, law enforcement, and civilian training, so there's something for everyone. This was my first class with BAT, but it definitely won't be my last. I'll be looking into more of Dick's training classes in the future. Thank you again to BAT, Dick, Dennis, and Norm, for a great experience! If you're serious about improving your skills, check them out and get to work. These are perishable skills--keep practicing!
