Anibal G.

I have been shooting for 50 + years. Alex Bleam was by far the most informative and helpful instructor, with whom, I have ever trained. If you are looking for a great instructor, regardless of your skill level, please add Alex to your "must take a class from this guy" list.

Bill H.

I have been training with Alex now for almost 2 years and I have gone from a beginner shooter to a much more proficient and accurate shooter. He's helped build my comfort and confidence in handling and carrying my firearm. Much more confident in security of my home and family. Alex is very easy to work with and offers very patient instruction. He's able to break things down into manageable learning practices so you don't get overwhelmed. Bottom line is Alex is great. You won't regret training with him.
