Self Identified Competition
Our competitors range from small shops to the Peacekeeper Training facility. None so far have the vision to have what we are proposing all under on roof. With all rages being outdoors within 45 minutes drive. The closest faculty similar to ours is XCAL and London County VA but is over an hours drive from our desired location. However, they will be small compared to our range distances and do not have the core educational system that we are building. Our advantage is that we want to focus on EVERYONE in the community and not just the extreme gun enthusiast. We believe that the "negative stigma" surrounding the industry can be reduced through education, inclusion, fellowship and a friendly environment.
