I started  Advanced Performance Shooting with our STI/SV grip reductions and paint and only as a hobby.  Once our friends and fellow shooters started seeing the grips it really took off.  For several years we travelled to every major shooting event we could get to and the business just kept growing.  We introduced Rudy Project eyewear to the shooting community and that really took off.   We started the instructional side of the business in an effort to provide low cost high quality firearms instruction and have virtually stopped all of our retail sales in an effort to keep up with the grips and the training.  After I retired from the Army I worked contract jobs first teaching marksmanship on a virtual reality system and then in Afghanistan training US forces everything from basic and advanced shooting skills to indirect and close air support fire systems.
