Brady Blackner is the Owner of Uinta Precision Tactical LLC. Brady looked at the firearms industry and saw a need for more education and training. This need was clear as more and more attention is being placed on the firearms place in society. The need for individuals to be educated, competent, and confident shooters has never been greater.
