Article 039 – Jeff Cooper helped advance the firearms industry and make us all safer. Now it’s time to honor his legacy by moving past it.
Welcome to Building Shooters. Our mission is to help fundamentally re-structure training across the firearms and tactical training industry. This is not a political, current events, firearms, or shooting site. While we may discuss these subjects within the context of training and training design, this space is dedicated to producing original, in-depth content for an audience of highly-skilled, professional instructors.
