At Stoddard’s we’re about the shooter, not the shooting. That means taking into account the important customer needs that are otherwise neglected in the industry today. From our unique variety of training and education programs to our unmatched interest in your personal health and safety, we aim to provide a comprehensive, state of the art firearms experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Movie buffs may gather that our name comes from the classic western The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. In the film, James Stewart plays Ransom Stoddard—a man who brings the values of lawfulness, civility, and education to the untamed frontier town of Shinbone. At Stoddard’s, we aim to bring these same ideals to the shooting industry:
Lawfulness
- We’re proud to provide state and local police with full-scale, state of the art training capabilities.
Civility
- Ours is a firearm community, and we’ll welcome you to it. Our friendly staff of experienced industry professionals looks forward to making you feel at home on the range.
Education
- Whether you’re a first-time novice or a seasoned marksman, we’ll offer an array of classes and certification programs to help you meet your goals. What’s more, our unique “lecture series” will provide edification on a broad range of gun-related topics.
