We welcome you to our range and we suggest that you come to watch, shoot with us and become a member of the gang.  By visiting you will gain a better understanding of what we do, the guns and gear we wear and the fun we have!

We urge you to try some of our guns and gear to ensure that when you start buying your own, you will buy guns and gear that you know you will be able to use. 

The cowboy way is to help our fellow compadres and are lenient about clothing when you first start. 

Hope to see you soon.
