Lead Instructor, Owner
Larry Brown
My interest in firearms began at a young age with a BB rifle, setting up targets and running around the backyard. I became a member of NAAGA and the Bass Reeves Gun Club in 2017. In 2020, I earned my USCCA Certified Instructor credentials, followed by becoming a USCCA Training Counselor in 2022. I was also part of NAAGA’s first class of Certified Instructors in 2021, and as of 2024, I proudly serve as a NAAGA Training Counselor.
My passion lies in training and educating the community on firearm safety and proper handling. I focus on both pistol and AR rifle platforms, helping students build knowledge and begin their journey toward proficiency.
