2019 is Shootrite’s 25th anniversary. It’s been an incredible journey. Now, it’s time for a change. I’m scaling down on teaching. Classes will be smaller, with attention to developing the defensive skills of serious students. Instruction will be during nicer times of the year. A reduced schedule allows me to devote more time to knife and revolver work. These “hobbies” have created quite a demand. (Keep an eye out for an article on my knives coming out in Guns magazine next year.). I’ll continue writing, and have a couple of new books in the works.
There will be a new range, classroom and a larger shop, with an FFL to handle firearms transactions. The website is getting a much-needed upgrade and will have an online store, where you can find Shootrite “Essentials” - the gear we use and recommend, plus information on knife and revolver work.
This is a great leap forward, one we know will benefit the Shootrite family. A few things to keep in mind: Training dates will be limited. The 2020 schedule will be out soon, but we’re booking private dates now. Check with me on any questions you may have.
One of the great things about this job is the people we meet and the friends made. Keep an eye out for future emails, and our Facebook page for details on the improvements coming.
