Yee Lum Mak
Ad Astra Firearms Training
Hi! I'm a university teacher with over 10 years of experience in the education field and a proud Lawrence resident. I'm passionate about providing welcoming,
down-to-earth firearms instruction that meets people where they are, especially
for folks who may not always see themselves represented in the firearms world.
As an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor and certified Kansas Concealed Carry Handgun Instructor, I offer classes for beginners, private lessons, and concealed carry classes. My current favorite things to shoot are a Ruger 22 Charger and a Sig Sauer P365.
