About

Veteran owned. Federally licensed. Local.

We are a small shop on County Highway 45 in Earlton, and we have been teaching people to handle firearms safely for years.

Who we are

A code of ethics, and a fair price

We are veteran owned and operated, patriotic, and have strong beliefs in our Nation, the Second Amendment, our community, and the American family. We maintain a code of ethics in our personal lives and in the management of our store that places a premium on providing our customers with the highest quality service and products at a reasonable and fair cost.

That is the whole idea, and it has not changed. We are not a big-box counter. When you call, you get someone who knows the answer, and when you take a class here you get corrected on the line by an instructor who has been doing this a long time.

Most of the people who walk in are not experienced shooters. They are somebody who decided they want a pistol permit and found out New York wants 16 hours of classroom instruction and 2 hours of live fire before they can even apply. We teach both halves, and we will tell you honestly what the process looks like from here.

Highest quality service at a reasonable and fair cost.

What we do

More than the classroom

Training is what most people find us for, but the shop has been a full firearms business the whole time.

Training

Basic through advanced pistol, plus rifle and marksmanship. Private group courses on location for six or more.

Sales

Pistols, shotguns, rifles, and ammunition. If we do not have it on the shelf, ask and we will tell you what we can get.

Accessories

Tactical gear, gun parts, and attachments.

Gunsmithing

Repairs and work on your existing firearms, done in house.

Manufacturing

We hold an 07 FFL and an SOT, so builds and NFA work are handled here rather than sent out.

Transfers

We are an FFL, so we can receive a transfer for you. Call first so we know it is coming.
