Meet our Instructors:
Randy Arrowood is our Staff Instructor for competition specializing in USPSA and Steel Challenge.
A Georgia native, born and raised in the metro Atlanta area with some kind of gun in hand from an early age. His first competitions involved beer cans from the back porch. From there, he learned the safe manipulation of various firearms and enjoyed hunting and plinking with friends and family.

After some basic instruction on fundamentals from some of the local gurus, he got serious about training and studying shooting sports. Through independent study, frequent competition and training with many top shooters, Randy has developed an ability to break down the required skills to compete at a high level and help others to develop.
