Experienced tutor in Shooting sport in Citrus Heights, Mike offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Mike was an excellent instructor and I will be definitely be taking more classes with him.

Very knowledgeable, really helpful. Made everyone from the novice shooter to the competitive shooter feel comfortable.

Very thorough and informative!

Very. Knowledgeable and experienced. He answered questions thoroughly and followed up with things after class.

It was my first time to hold a gun with Mike Baxter as my instructor. I was nervous in the beginning but after our first session I feel confident that I will be a responsible gun owner because of the knowledge that I learned from him.

He’s very detailed and patient to explain the safety and use of every gun whichever you prefer to own. In a single session, he let me used 22 caliber then a 9 mm then a 45 caliber and even his AR.

It was a delightful experience and highly recommended to be trained by Mike.

My group had the pleasure of spending 3 hours with Mike on the range today. Premise was basic handgun training. Mike is an exemplary instructor, good listener and always provides the “why” behind the “what” for any question we had. We came away with all the necessary skills that built confidence in handling a firearm. Truly a deep learning experience for all.

As a newby gun owner and one who had never fired a firearm in my life, Mike delivered the commensurate knowledge and built confidence throughout the training.

I would highly recommend Baxter Firearms Training and Mike to anyone who wants to build their firearms skills.

I have a high respect for Mike. He is knowledgeable and personable.

I learned a lot from his firearm safety class, and he was always ready to answer any questions I have. I am more confident and comfortable using a firearm because of Mike.

I was wanting a good refresher for pistol shooting as it had been a decade since I last shot. With this in mind I signed up with Mike for his Basics of Pistol Shooting course.

I was not disappointed!!!

Mike is a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and natural teacher. His style of instruction puts you at ease while teaching how to safely and accurately use your firearm.

His course was 3 hours of hands on instruction starting with the very basics  all the way to the details of cleaning and caring of firearms.

You come away with knowledge which will keep you and those around safe.

For me, Mike analyzed how I gripped my pistol and after following his suggestions, improved both my aim and confidence.

Mike was great at answering everyone's questions both during and after the course.

At the end of the day, I came away knowing taking Mike Baxter's training was well worth my time!

Training with Mike has been a true pleasure. He has made me feel confident and competent while handling my gun. His sunny personality and wealth of knowledge provided a great learning experience. Will definitely be going back for some of the other classes.
