Our Mission is to be the best gunshop for safe and exciting shooting sports, Guns, and Ammo in NV.

I’m Michael Christopherson, and my life’s mission is to positively impact my community and provide a secure future for my family. My journey in business has been diverse, from owning a construction company and an international WWII Jeep parts business to venturing into bullet manufacturing. Each endeavor has been driven by my desire to create something meaningful.

My path began with my parents, Mark and Janet, who built and owned their own business since I was a child. Like my Father, I joined the Navy Seabees, where I learned the values of hard work, dedication, and excellence. These lessons were instilled in me by my parents and further reinforced by the guidance of successful mentors along the way.

Throughout my entrepreneurial ventures, I’ve always strived for continuous improvement. Whether perfecting construction techniques, sourcing rare parts for vintage Jeeps, or ensuring the quality of my ammunition, I’m constantly pushing to be the best in my field.

However, my true passion lies in giving back to my community. I see my businesses not as a source of income but as a platform for creating opportunities for others. Providing good jobs and delivering exceptional customer experiences are central to my mission.

My dream of opening a small shop that embodies my values started at my kitchen counter and then took over my shop in the backyard. That is where business really expanded. With the help of Mike, AKA (Buzz), and many others, we created a place where people can find top-notch products, low prices, outstanding service, and a sense of belonging. It’s a legacy that I want my wife, Rachael, and our children to be proud of, and it’s a testament to the blessings I’ve received from God and the unwavering support of my loved ones.

Every day, I’m one step closer to realizing my vision, fueled by the belief that anything is possible with hard work, integrity, and a commitment to excellence. Join our team and support our community
