Chris Drake, CEO and sniper weapon systems program manager, has a personal motivation to support the military or law enforcement sniper. Drake an active NY Police Officer was assigned to the rescue efforts at World Trade Center Tower 1 on 9/11 during the terrorist attack in New York City. Since then Drake has made it a point to give the US Military and LE teams the best affordable precision rifle system available. Having personally served at ground zero, Drake feels every precision rifle that sends a bullet down range at a bad guy ensures the safety of a member of the armed services.

Drake was also a major contender in cooperation with ATK during the US SOCOM PSR Solicitation in 2008-2010 as the supplier of the PGM Long Range Precision rifle. Drake also supplied the RPA Quadlock competition action and rifle components equipment to the US Marine Corps Precision Weapons Section at Quantico which they used while shooting world class matches.
