About Brian J Plowman, Owner/Instructor

Brian's education in the proper use and responsibilities associated with firearms began at the age of 8, under the tutelage of his father. As a young adult, Brian served his country as an Airman in the U.S. Air Force, where he rose through the ranks in the field of Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) and is a combat veteran. After the military, Brian's civilian life culminated in the founding of North Texas Shooting Complex. As are most start-ups, NTS was Brian's "side hustle". Business began to grow in 2019. In 2022, Brian moved to East Texas. Slow to make client contacts in a new region of Texas, Brian patiently persevered.
