About Dee Page
I am the oldest of 3 girls. I was the one outside with my Dad most of the time. I enjoyed getting under cars and working on them. Ok, well maybe I was just liked smearing grease and grime on myself. My family did almost everything together except for hunting. I was never allowed to go hunting with the guys and once I was older I understood why – it takes proper training! However, I did shoot with both my mom and dad, and I remember the first time being when I was about 6 years old. We never wore hearing protection back then, but today I never go without it while shooting.
As I grew up and started a family, there wasn’t much time for shooting. After raising my family, I finally got back to guns and started by getting my conceal carry license with my husband, Andy. He encouraged me to find a handgun I would like and be able to use. I did that but I just didn’t feel like I knew enough to feel comfortable carrying it around with me. After some time I found an all-women shooting chapter site on the internet, but there was nothing in my area. So, after looking into all of the information, I decided to start a chapter. Wow, what a rush! I never thought there would be so many ladies eager to learn.
I took my NRA Instructors Certification class and have been moving forward ever since, obtaining several certifications as shown below. I have been holding classes for over three years now.
My husband, Andy, and I own PAGE FIREARMS TRAINING, LLC, and teach Oklahoma Self Defense Act classes as well as NRA courses. We teach anyone ages 12 and up and enjoy meeting and hearing so many stories of why our students want to learn to handle and carry a firearm. Our youth shooting group started in the Fall of 2014. I am the Armed Lady Chapter Leader for both the Muskogee, OK, and the Green Country, OK, chapters as well as the Region 5 Leader for Armed Lady, supporting the state leaders in my region.
About Andy
I was born in Calif. I had two uncles that took the time to teach me to hunt and shoot. They were a big part of my growing up time in Muskogee, Oklahoma. My family was close and we did a lot of things outside from panning for gold to fishing and hinting. I was the typical big brother and was very protective of my “little sister”. Dee and I enjoy working with new shooters and training our teenage grandkids to shoot in a safe environment. Let us help you too.
Let us help you overcome your fear of firearms. Let us help you feel more comfortable with protecting your family. Let us help you shop for the right gun for you.
Page Shooting Team
Dee has taken her ladies shooting group to a new level. After much consideration and discussion with the ladies, they have decided to do their own shooting group. She and the others attending their monthly meetings always have a great time! Come on out the 1st Sunday of each month at 2pm for some fun. You don’t need a gun to join us.
Ladies meet at Bub’s Survival Boutique 108 E. Monroe (behind Payless Shoes)

Our Certifications And Training Options
Page Firearms Training has educational programs for firearm safety and personal protection. Most of our clients are first time shooters with no prior experience with firearms. Other clients have taken and received their Concealed Firearm License but are seeking more training to shoot a handgun.
We teach:
fundamentals
ammunition
misfires
jams
how to protect innocent bystanders (including family members)
Our classes are structured to help you gain valuable information in a safe environment that one day may save your life or the life of a loved one. Since we realize the new shooter may be intimidated, we have built our classes in a non-intimidating way to address this. Our classes even exceed the NRA requirements.
At Page Firearms Training, LLC, all of our instructors and trainers are NRA Certified Range Safety Officers. And Dee Page is a NRA Chief Range Safety Officer.
We offer a casual and safe shooting environment, whether on a public range, private range, or with our state of the art indoor laser simulator system.
We are not a military training facility. We teach and instruct you the same way we would teach and instruct our own friends and family.
We can travel to any location in the U.S. to conduct classes and training sessions. (Class prices shown on this site do not include travel expenses.)
