Ryan Bartsch

I grew up on a farm in rural Saskatchewan where if it hopped, flew or ran I hunted it. As a avid hunter I found 3 gun and competition shooting as a way to keep my trigger skills sharp. Constantly challenged and learning how to do things faster, and more accurately. Shortly out of high school, I became a Journeyman Welder then Journeyman Ironworker. Working with my hands is in my blood you could say. I am also a gunsmith in my small shop Nuke ‘M Gunworks where my Real Avid tools are used almost daily.
