We are very excited to announce that American Defense MFG, LLC will be supporting DSS and our programs in 2018!

American Defense MFG, LLC. was founded with an idea and hard work. What developed was their QD Auto Lock System. We are proud to say that all American Defense MFG, LLC products are 100 percent designed and built in the U.S.A. All of their products are designed by shooters with one goal, Customer Satisfaction.  ADM  produces high quality carbines (Universal Improved Carbine Mod 2, pictured right), rifle components, and a wide variety of mounts for all the top optics brands in the market.

American Defense MFG, LLC is providing Dynamic Shooting Sports, LLC with access to one of their UIC Mod 2 AR-15 Carbines for use at our range.  This carbine will be available for shooters to demo after any of our competitions.  New shooters will be able to use the ADM carbine at our matches when competing for the first time.  We will also utilize the UIC Mod 2 in our training sessions, it will be used for bonus stages at matches, and Team DSS members will have access to it for major matches when the firearm is not being used at the range.

For additional information please visit their Website or Facebook page.  If you are interested in testing or purchasing the ADM UIC Mod 2, please complete a Contact form.  A member of Dynamic Shooting Sports, LLC will respond and make the necessary arrangements for a demo or put you in contact with American Defense MFG, LLC  to purchase the carbine directly.

"Gunfighter Targets came out of our combination of our passion for shooting sports and wanting to create new and exciting targets along with costs that allow the average shooter to get great high quality practice targets for a reasonable cost.  Leading to a feeling of being able to feel confident stepping on the range with the pros.

All targets backed with a it breaks we replace it guarantee." - www.gunfightertargets.com

DSS has been testing their targets throughout the 2017 season in the 3 Gun Nation, USPSA and steel matches held at our range.  We have been so impressed with their performance that we have asked Gunfighter Targets to be our title sponsor for the North East Ohio 3-Gun Head-to-Head Shoot-Off.  We will be utilizing over 60 of their targets in our inaugural match and will be ordering even more to utilize in our competitions for 2018 season.

We initially looked to their Reactive Steel targets as a replacement for knock down steel and shotgun clays.  Compared to the knock down steel, we found the Gunfighter Targets easier to put up and much easier to reset (we weren't chasing steel all over the bays).  When we looked at the cost of using shotgun clays, the 6"x6" reactive targets offered a similar performance and paid for themselves after only 8 matches using our average match participation.  They also offer Match Directors a significant discount compared to always offering paper targets.

Gallant Bullets is a manufacturer of Polymer Coated Cast Bullets and High Precision Swaged Bullets.  They are based in Utah and are veteran owned and operated.  The are committed to the pursuit of excellence in their craft, to remaining loyal to their customers, and to serve those in need.

Their new line of Polymer Coated Cast Bullets was introduced in 2017 with great success.  We have had the chance to test out some of their bullets and Team DSS will be shooting them in 2018.  Please feel free to ask Scott Beebe or one of the other members of the Team for a demo of their products.

Head over to their website for more information about their bullets and other specialty products.  First time buyers can use the the code "DSS-5%" for a savings on their first purchase.  You can also follow them on Facebook.  We will also keep you aware of any sales or additional discount

DSS is extremely pleased to be working again with Criterion Barrels Inc. for the 2019 season!  Criterion has made a lot of positive changes to their business culture in 2018, including an updated logo and brand new website. These changes are providing us better contact with their leadership and better access for their products to the end user. Criterion Barrels Inc will also be the title sponsor for our 2-Gun Series in 2019.

Fortunately, we have several of the Criterion barrels available for demonstration at DSS: both American Defense MFG range rifles are configured with Criterion barrels and several Team DSS members compete with them as well. Please ask Scott, Erica or Nathan for additional information about Criterion Barrels or complete one of our Contact forms.

About Criterion Barrels, Inc

Criterion Barrels, Inc. was founded in 1999 as a division of Krieger Barrels, Inc. in response to demands of rifle builders and firearms manufacturers for quality match grade barrels at a lower cost. Our company is now completely independent from Krieger Barrels, featuring a separate facility, personnel, and ownership.

Criterion rifle barrels are match grade. Our 30+ years of experience and shared history with Krieger have given us a true understanding of what match grade means. Uniformity of the bore dimension, groove dimension, and twist, and the finish produced by hand lapping are essential for the ultimate accuracy of the barrel. With our expertise we are able to control these factors and deliver an unbelievably accurate match grade barrel at a reasonable price.

We are very excited to have some hometown support for 2019: Rubber City Armory. RCA is located on Kenmore Blvd in Akron, Ohio and managed by Jeff Larson. Jeff is also a Season Pass holder at DSS.

Being active shooters themselves, RCA saw the need for a better surface treatment than what was being offered on AR-15’s and other firearm parts. This translated into making their own bolt carrier groups with their premium surface treatment which catapulted them ahead of other manufacturers. This has also led RCA to further innovations in lightweight designs that make use of the latest technology and surface treatments available.

Rubber City Armory has developed a revolutionary treatment eliminating the need for excessive oil or grease on firearm components . Their rigorous BlackNitride+℠ process results in high-performance parts that have increased wear-resistance, fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, lubricity and cosmetic appeal.

Rubber City Armory is also an avid supporter of our local law enforcement agencies and practical shooting sports around the country. For more information about their bolt carrier groups, products and processes, please contact RCA or you can talk with Jeff or one of our Team DSS members when you are at the range.

DSS is honored to have Invictus Practical back on board  for the 2019 season.  Kevin Pratt and his company have been long-time supporters of the practical shooting sports, sponsoring major 3 -gun matches and top professional shooters all accross the US for many years.  Their lineup of shotshell caddies is the benchmark for the 3-gun community.

The Invictus Practical AARM/S line of shotshell caddies was designed from the ground-up to be the best performing, most versatile, and highest-quality competition kit available at any price.  Their quad load family of shotshell caddies feature an innovative, purpose-designed shell clip which nests shells so close that their rims touch - yet retains each shell independently - and utilizing a one-of-a-kind 1/8" vertical offset between adjacent shell rows that keeps the "bottom" shells down and out of your way until you're ready for them (when grabbing two-at-a-time, Load-Two style), the Quad-Load line of shotshell caddies is perfect for the shooter who values flexibility, adjustability, and wants to Quad-Load AND / OR Load-Two - all in one kit.  The caddies are compatible with Bladetech (Tek-Lok and TMMS) and Safarliand (ELS, QLS and MLS) belt attachment devices.

Many of the Team DSS member also utilize the DeTurk Vest Chest Rig System.  Developed and produced in conjunction with one of today's top shooters - Dean DeTurk.  This chest-mounted shotshell platform combines the lightweight stability and flexibility of Dean's Kydex backer plate with the proven performance of Invictus Practical Quad Clips, 6ix Clips or 8ight Clips (your choice) to create the perfect platform to Quad-Load or Load-Two from the chest.

Not to be overlooked, the Invictus Practical Holster Hangar is a great way to create some space between your belt and handgun.  This creates a better position for optimizing the speed of your draw stroke.  Again, many of the Team DSS member utilize this enhancement.

Keven has been kind enough to create a rebate program for our shooters.  Please Contact us before placing an order and we will assist you with your order to ensure that you receive your 10% rebate.
