To a beginner or intermediate, firearms are often complex and intimidating. Let me simplify them for you, while grounded in safety, to build your confidence and have fun.

About Me
Beginner Guns is a one man show in Austin, Texas. I’m the owner, Marcus, in the picture above. I’m a USCCA Certified Instructor for Concealed Carry & Home Defense and have been shooting guns since age 5. Before becoming certified I trained many first timers on shotgun clay pigeons and pistol shooting, all for the love of the game. I figured the next logical step was an LLC and name that sums up my specialty, educating beginners.
my three step approach
Step One - The Basics
We stay on this step as long as needed to learn safety and mechanics so you feel comfortable with a handgun. Typically 2-4 sessions. We start with real unloaded guns and fake plastic bullets, then proceed at the right pace for you from there.
Through every step I provide everything: guns, ammunition, safety glasses and ear protection. All you bring is a good attitude and wear the appropriate clothes.
Step Two - Do It Yourself Day
With safety established, it’s time to let you ride your first bike, but still with some training wheels on.
In this step, I hand you over a firearm in its original case as we walk in, then you run the whole range day on your own as if it was just you there by yourself. Don’t worry though, I’ll quietly be in the background should you need any help.
Step Three - tacticool
Now it’s time for really fun stuff. Whether you want a pistol for home defense just the range, shooting in a tactical bay is by far the most enjoyable experience getting to fire from dynamic positions with a lot more target variety.
Want to get your John Wick/Ballerina on? No problem, I have plenty of holsters and magazines.
Bonus Step - The Beginner Buyer Expreience
When you’re ready to buy a gun, I’ll accompany you to a gun store to do so. We will look at different brands, ammunition to get, and any other gear you may need. For example a gun light, which is highly recommended for home defense, or a personal safe if there’s children in the house.
