Wild Ridge Tactical is a group of men and women that love America, the outdoors, and specifically the shooting sports.  We started out several years ago as a small shooting club in northern Michigan.  We have a modest outdoor range and we have several members that compete in open shooting competitions around the area.  Many of us have a niche in shooting that is our area of expertise and of greatest enjoyment.  Several of our members also participate in Paintball and Airsoft outings.  We have decided that together, thru this site we can offer our various services to you.  Following is a list of our members in charge of our various areas.

Firearm Weaponsmithing:  Andrew Keiser

      Andy is a lifelong gun enthusiast that is currently finishing a formal gunsmithing education.  He has modified many weapons over the years, mostly pistols for competition.  He has also been modifying shotguns for tactical purposes with a special interest in Breeching.

Paintball Markersmithing:  Jason Ellenberger

     Jason (Tiny) is former Air Force Security Police, and a gun and paintball fanatic.  He has built or modified more markers than we can count.  He specializes in markers that look more realistic or emulate a tactical firearm for training purposes.  He also dabbles in wicked automatic markers and is currently working on a vehicle mounted minigun marker.

Tactical Gear:  Shawn Ellenberger

     Shawn (Opie) is a madman.  What he lacks in experience, he makes up for in enthusiasm.  He has been playing paintball with Tiny (his older brother) since middle school.  Anytime he needed something he couldn't buy, he found someone to make it (usually Tiny).  After working all his life (so far) in retail, he is ready to offer some of those special items to you.  We hope this expands into a full service catalog.

Though these are the members in charge of this site, this is by no means the end our list.  We have many others that all help out to find, produce, or modify the equipment you need to maximize your shooting enjoyment.  Please remember one thing, This is not our job, it is our passion!  It is also our hobby and because we do it for fun, not to eat, we can offer you the best we have at a reasonable price.  We are not the flashiest place to get stuff, nor are we the fastest, but we only sell the stuff we use ourselves.  Lastly, the only things we take seriously are the Pledge of Allegiance, and Weapon Safety, so if something here looks like a joke, it probably is.  If you have an insight or an opinion to share, feel free to use the contact forms or email addresses where provided.  If we think others can benefit from your remarks, we may post them here.  If any part of this site offends you, too bad!  Hit the back button and go shop elsewhere.  We pride ourselves in the fact that we, like the very sport we love, are NOT politically correct.
