HISTORY
The principals have been in the industry since 2001 when they were vendors traveling to gun shows. They opened the first retail store in 2010. In early 2016 they purchased and moved into the current facility: 18,000 square feet, with a retail store, state-of-the-art, completely automated 12-lane shooting range, training rooms, game room, storage, and a shipping and receiving department with a large overhead door.
SELECTION SECOND TO NONE
Attracts shooters and gun enthusiasts from all over the world. The store’s walls and glass cases are stocked with $2.2 to $2.4 million worth of handguns, shotguns, rifles, and accessories such as silencers, scopes, et al in many calibers, designs, and brands. Many premium firearms manufacturers have recognized the store for being among the top in brand sales in the nation: Glock Perfection Dealer, SIG Master Dealer, Kimber Master Dealer, And classified as Premium Direct Sales for Black Rain, Stag, Wilson Combat et al.
The owners' Golden Rule formula for success has been: first and foremost, treat everyone as you would like to be treated. Second, engage and encourage customers, so that personal attention and respect is second nature. Great prices and a huge selection bring folks to shop and shoot here, sometimes from great distances. In fact, a map on the wall (of the foyer of the range) indicates the hometowns of patrons from all over the world, and several regular customers are known to travel several hours, passing by their local ranges.
