Passion. Experience. Diligence.

Devin’s journey into firearms began for self-defense reasons. In 2012 an event in NYC took place that woke her up to the need to protect herself. At first it was MMA & self-defense classes. Then it moved to Defensive Pistol Classes and the list went on. As the training continued a love for shooting was developed and after a few years of shooting she was introduced to the competitive shooting world.

The competitive shooting brought a whole new level of training that had yet to be tried and after the first match, well I’m sure you can imagine where it went. During these years of training, a love for interacting with new firearms owners or those people just new to the gun community developed. That interaction of educating new shooters and helping them build a solid shooting foundation grew and expanded to where we are at today; a firearms training business that looks to equip students with the tools they need to safely shoot & train with their handgun.
