Marty Puckett grew up as a hunter with a love of firearms and a desire to shoot long distance.  With an MBA in Business Management, it seemed a natural fit that he was the Manager of an IT Help Desk for a Food Service Company, but after nearly 18 years in this field, his career would soon change.  While doing load development for a friend, he shot his first competition – an F Class match with a borrowed rifle.  Marty tied for First Place in that match and soon was invited to be a partner in a custom rifle company.  Over the next few years, he and his partners took that business from a local shop to a company that shipped rifles all over the US. During this time, he was able to learn a lot about the firearms industry and custom load development.  The time came for him and one of his partners to sell their shares and start Delta Precision Shooting – a firearms training company that focused on Precision Rifle classes.  His customer service background proved to be an asset when conducting the weekend classes.  Through his partners, the next logical move was handgun training where he has completed the Glock Armorer and Glock Operator classes, Rock River Arms Certified Armorer, Certified USCCA Instructor, and Certified McRees Precision Dealer where he builds precision rifles.  With a passion for helping others meet their goals, and a strong desire to keep learning, this is now a full time career.  From Special Forces and Military Police to the average hunter, he loves putting his talents and skills to work for you.
