Cam has been a lifelong gun enthusiast. Growing up in Arizona, this self-described “desert rat” spent many hours of enjoyment hunting and plinking in the Sonoran Desert. Raising his family on 20 wooded acres in Northeastern Washington, he created his own shooting range and taught his 5 kids to shoot.

Always interested in learning more about his passion, Cam has studied gun-related publications for decades, building a wide-ranging store of knowledge.

His years as a steel fabricator and mechanic, combined with his fascination with firearms, made transitioning into gunsmithing a sure fit. He went from an active hobbyist to a certified gunsmith in 2005 and is Center Target Sports’ in-house gunsmith. Cam’s natural gift of “making something out of nothing” lends itself well to fabricating impossible-to-find parts and pieces.

Paul is a retired instrumentation engineer. His extensive design and field testing of weapons and their delivery systems, brings a real sensitivity to safety. After retiring, he finally had time for personal pursuits of civilian weapons. Our "science guy" says, always start with the basics. So, from military weapons he started one hobby of black powder muskets, rifles, pistols, and golf ball shooting cannons. That hobby was shared at Boy Scout Jamborees educating our youth.

He volunteers teaching 4th graders math and science. He is very proud of their new passion for science and their ability to compute the kinetic energy of a 18-wheeler vs. a mini van (reason for seat belts), and a 9-mm vs. a golf ball. "His" 4th graders love his CTS shirt.
