An inspiring figure in the firearms industry, Candy is known for founding Gun Powder Gals - a women's only shooting group in Fayetteville, NC.

For 14 years, she dedicated herself to training over 600 women in firearm handling and safety. Particularly adept at guiding women with minimal knowledge of firearms, Candy has enabled countless individuals to gain confidence and skill in handling firearms.

Though she moved 1.5 hours away from the group she founded in 2020, her legacy in training lives on. While she has been gradually winding down her firearms business and her website is no longer operational, she continues to train on a need basis.

Hunter Elliott

A seasoned firearms instructor and videographer, Hunter has made a name for himself through his popular firearms review channel, RangeHot.com.

With over ten years of experience, Hunter has skillfully participated in reviews, demonstrating shooting techniques and providing lucid explanations.

Holding a federal firearms license (FFL) for nearly eight years, Hunter's expertise extends to dealing in NFA items such as short-barreled rifles, shotguns, silencers, and pre-86 select fire machine guns, backed by a Special Occupancy Tax (SOT) that he's held for almost 7-8 years.

His contributions to the firearms community, combined with his extensive experience and dedication, have made him a trusted authority in the field.
