About
Meet Raymond Etsebeth
First Step Firearm Training was built around one idea: that becoming a safe, competent firearm owner shouldn't be intimidating. Based in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town, Raymond teaches beginners self-confidence in becoming safe and accurate shooters and firearm owners — one-on-one, at your own pace.
Whether it's your very first time holding a firearm or you need business-purpose competency for work, Raymond keeps training practical, patient and personal.
