March comes in like a lamb at Gunsite. Sunny and 55 degrees this afternoon for the Shotgun 260 and Seasoned Citizen 250 classes. This is some of the best time of the year as it starts our very cool but warms to the 50’s and 60’s. (Usually!) Classes are at a near record pace at Gunsite for 2021. Those that postponed training a year ago when the Covid 19 issues began are back at it along with our fair share of the 7M plus new gun owners getting training. If you are one of the new owners, come see us at Gunsite (or at one of our off-site locations) and get proper training before you … [Read more...]
Gunsite’s February Newsletter
Spring is not far! Coming from the Midwest when February usually meant very cold temperatures, snowy and cloudy days, it is a great pleasure to be in the high desert of northern Arizona. While we have snow (Ask the attendants of the “Artic Carbine 223 Class” a couple of weeks ago), it usually melts a day or so later and we are back to impossibly blue skies and marshmallow clouds and temperatures in the 50’s. So, why aren’t you at Gunsite taking a class? As with summer, do not fear the weather. If it does get inclement, it becomes more of an adventure and greater memory. Classes at … [Read more...]
Gunsite Christmas Newsletter
Christmas greetings to our Gunsite Family around the World. “On Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Christ with prayer, feasting, and great merriment.

It is present when men of any creed bring love and understanding to the hearts of their fellow man. The feeling is seen in the wondrous faces of children and in the hopeful eyes of the aged. It overflows the hearts of … [Read more...]
September Newsletter
"We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." ~Benjamin Franklin September has arrived in the high desert of the Gunsite Ranch. The classes are back to pre-pandemic numbers. Some classes have increased, possibly because of the pandemic and the on-going violence in some of the Republic. “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” — Isaiah 9:2 So many have now “seen the light” and recognize they are responsible for their own safety and security. The government … [Read more...]
Gunsite August Newsletter
The Dog Days of Summer July has been a hot one and Gunsite finished July like a firecracker! Turmoil continues across the Republic. Gun sales (if you can find them and ammunition) are at record levels. Have you made this an opportunity to help your family, friends, and neighbors? More and more liberals are recognizing that they just might appreciate the Second Amendment after all. Do not let this be a divisive moment with these folks. Help train them, especially with the Four (4) Safety Rules. (Steer them to Gunsite!) Let this be an opportunity to help them continue to support or … [Read more...]
