Building a Better Firearm Experience
Excellent service is accentuated by excellent design. From concept to execution, we plan to bring a one of a kind firearms experience to Southern Oregon.
Black Flag Armory is going to lead the firearm industry in an innovative approach to customer service. By focusing on education and training above sales, we will overcome the negative stereotypes associated with the firearm industry and normalize responsible firearm ownership in the country, regardless of political and social climate. By educating everyone we work with, we will shift the conversation from one of demonizing firearms to a conversation about personal responsibility and education.
Our first big step in attaining this vision is to bring the first public indoor shooting range to Medford Oregon. We will be satisfying a demand in the market while bringing a unique experience to firearm enthusiasts and newcomers alike to learn, to train, and to experience what responsible firearm ownership and use can be.
Education is at the heart of everything we do. From the way we interect with customers during retail sales, to formal and classes.
We will provide specialized, advanced topical training to both the civilian and law enforcement markets as well as make our training range available to law enforcement and outside instructors.
The retail side of BFA will continue to grow. Expanding our inventory and offerings while curating the best selection of firearms and accessories in Oregon.
Our lanes will be open to the public daily for general use, rentals, and all manner of shooting activities.
Taking our service and experience to the next level, we will offer a limited VIP membership with a huge varierty of perks.
Cerakote, laser engraving, custom firearms and more. We will continue to expand our ability to build one of a kind firearms and purpose-driven guns.
Try before you buy, shoot your dream gun, or even try out modern machine guns as we offer a full line of rental firearms.
Membership saves our customers money and provides stable, predictable revenue for the store. With multiple memberships and varied perks, we will develop membership packages for everyone.
We believe that education and training are essential to responsible firearm ownership. That’s why we will offer training options for all levels of shooters. Empowering Oregonians means educating firearm owners on the safe, responsible, and effective use of their firearms. From purchase to proficiency, we are there for you.
The training range will offer a wide variety of scenarios and setups for everything from basic handgun safety to law enforcement tactics.
The ability to test out multiple firearms before making a purchase, or just for fun, is completely new to Southern Oregon.
The range will support Simunition training, which offers a safe way to engage in high-stress, realistic training.
The range will give a permanent home to our full line of courses and curriculum. An essential part of our mission.
The range will allow us to support local law enforcement with a consistent, controlled range and classroom for training.
For those wanting to shoot consistently and experience some of the additional perks and services we have to offer, several tiers of memberships will be offered.
Access to the lounge, unlimited guest passes, special pricing, firearm cleanings, exclusive merchandise, and the newest guns & gear.
Members will enjoy access to special VIP only events. From skill builders and range days to community hunts and holiday parties.
Private lessons, tuition paid VIP only courses, advanced training tools, and more await members.

In the first 6 years of operation, revenue for the shop has grown 28X in revenue and 10X in physical size. Our conservative projections for the range predict a healthy, growing business with great margins for operations and continued growth. We have accomplished this with strong customer service and a creative approach to the firearms industry.
We are looking for investors & mentors to help us make that next step. We are open to all options for the purchase of a property and construction. As well as financing the range systems, inventory, and operation needs.
Our ideal situation would be to make one or more deals with individuals or a small group of individuals to provide the capital &/or the services needed to secure a loan with People’s Bank that would finance the project in exchange for passive ownership with repayment and the option to buy out the investors.
