About Mike
Mike is a competitive shooter, certified by both NRA and USCCA. This allows us to provide a broad range of courses to fit just about anybody's needs.
We provide family friendly gun safety and proficiency training. Our training is for those who have never touched a gun, or those looking to improve their proficiency.
We also have home defense seminars for those who just want to learn how to make their home safer.
We provide Concealed Carry training for Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, and El Dorado counties.
I really enjoy the piece of mind my personal and home defense training brings to families. But more than anything, I love providing new shooters with the skill and confidence to really enjoy shooting. I want you to really have fun shooting, so you'll want to do it more!
I have always enjoyed coaching and mentoring others. I started as a student tutor in grade school. Then, I helped coach running in High School, followed by training new remedial shooters in the Army and Army National Guard. Finally, I have been training friends and family for decades, until several people suggested I should do it professional.
So, I did an apprenticeship with one of the top USCCA instructors in the Sacramento area, and eventually started my own business.
While I am certified by both NRA and USCCA, I have been training shooters for over 20yrs. I started training new shooters when I was in the Army, WAYYYY back in 1987. I also have a lot of experience training in a variety of other topics, and have won awards for communication and training.
I pride myself on patience and clarity when training anybody on a subject that is new to them

I prefer to start with email and/or telephone discussion to assess your needs and establish a training plan that works for you. Then, you are free to schedule classes with the confidence that you are getting the best training for your goals.
Kids, adults, soldiers and veterans. I've worked with people of all ages, and from all walks of life.
I have helped people overcome their fear of firearms. I have helped shooters and veterans with disabilities to overcome physical issues.
I pride myself on patiently communicating at a level appropriate to my audience, no matter who that is.
Think "coach" or "mentor". Interview each by phone or in person. If your personalities don't fit, try another. If they do match, you're more likely to learn a lot and establish a relationship. Anybody can teach you to point a gun at a target. You should select someone you can trust to help you grow as a shooter; someone who will mentor safe technique that builds as you develop comfort and competence.
I had a student who was terrified of guns. She was in her late fifties and had physical problems that made walking and standing for long periods difficult.
After several trips to a local range, we gradually worked her up to shooting a gun.
Eventually, she overcame her base fear. Now she owns a gun and goes the to range at least every other month. She is working on becoming a quicker and more accurate.
I love when she texts me the picture of a target she's proud of!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do you eventually want to do with firearms? Do you want to hunt? Have you thought about competition? Do you just want to feel safer? Can you accomplish your goal without a gun? If so, can your instructor still help you reach that goal?
I offer home defense options that do not require guns…

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.
