Get More Out of Your Gun Time
Our mission is simple: help people get more out of their gun time.
Gun time, or the time spent with our firearms, should be quality time; an opportunity for learning, engagement, and, ultimately, loads of fun.
Making the most of your gun time means learning some basic information about safety, developing a few skills, and getting your hands on the right gear.
Our aim is to provide all three in an unbiased, unintimidating way.
