WELCOME TO ACTION GUNNER
WE’RE ON A MISSION
Competition plays a pivotal role in fostering excellence, discipline, and camaraderie among shooters of all levels. Competitive shooting is not just about aiming for accuracy or speed; it’s a journey towards personal growth, mastery of skill, and building incredible friendships.
This journey started for me many years ago, and Action Gunner was born as a culmination of efforts to continue to introduce, promote & encourage the individual competitor and shooting sports as a whole.
Whether you’re just trying to figure out how to get into competition shooting or looking to hone your skills, it is my hope that this website and the articles within will be a beneficial resource to you.
