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!

A perfect course for both beginners and intermediate learners…read more It was great to have both classroom and field time in a small group, and supportive setting! Debbie is an extremely knowledgeable, clear, and compassionate instructor -- I highly recommend this course for any woman no matter your goals!

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.

He is extremely knowledgeable and understanding about the way in which he teaches you. He works with you at your pace will only progress forward if you are feeling comfortable. I like that he brought a variety of different firearms and explains the difference on how each feels when fired. His courses were extremely valuable and insightful and if you have any interest in firearms and are a little nervous, like I was, he is the perfect person to teach you! Thank you again Anthony!

During the 1st session, he emphasized safety and was thorough about teaching important basics of owning, transporting and handling of firearms. We were able to try several different firearms and his instructions were spot on for a good shot out of the gate! We enjoyed the first session so much that we booked a second session to really get the handling/fundamentals down. We had a blast and are feeling confident! I highly recommend Anthony.

*DISCLOSURE* I am a competitor to STM…read more STM is one of the VERY few companies that I refer people to when I can't take on a particular client or don't have any openings for new employees. It's rare in this industry to find a company with respectable management, leaders, and employees. Even being a competitor, Larry has been a pleasure to work with and I know his company is top notch.
