I signed my family up for an instructional shoot with John & Jamie Lee. Not only was it great family time together, it was an experience my wife, son and I will cherish forever! We look forward to working with them again every quarter!

As a new gun owner, I didn’t quite know what to expect from the basic pistol course. But John and Jamie Lee made it easy. They were patient and gave clear instructions...but most of all, they gave me confidence. What a great team! Highly recommended.

Very glad I got hooked up with Stay Alert’s CCW course. Jamie Lee and John’s training courses are exactly as advertised - non-intimidating, professional, & in a comfortable setting. The option to rent & shoot other firearms was an excellent surprise. The two made an excellent pair, complementing each other throughout the day. I look forward to taking Defensive Pistol and the other courses they have to offer!

I've owned my own gun for years, but embarassed to say, I never shot it. John & Jamie Lee spent as much time with me as needed to teach me how my gun works and how to use it the right way. I will be going back for my CCW training next!

After time on the range with Jamie and John, our family drove home with the biggest smiles and we couldn't stop talking about the amazing experience. In addition to safety and terminology, we learned numerous tactics and techniques for situational defense. We will continue to train with Jamie and John and we highly recommend them. It's an awesome way to spend the day honing your skills and bonding with friends and family!

I had a great outdoor training experience with Jamie Lee and John Babun AKA “Stay Alert”. They both have immense knowledge regarding firearms safety AND the patience of saints. I learned to be safe and comfortable with shooting different caliber of weapons. They create an atmosphere of safety and comfort… I felt so comfortable, this just helped pump up my enthusiasm and desire to learn. I enjoyed their teaching style and I am ready for more… bring on the next course!

I took the NRA CCW course with John and Jamie. All I can say is wow! John and Jamie are a great team and really bring a lot to the table working together. My class was a small class of only three and this allowed a tremendous amount of personal attention to help me really understand the proper methods when it comes to carrying concealed. I will absolutely be going back for the Defensive Pistol class next!
