Spinner1Targets.com Handcrafted Airgun Targets: A Closer Look

I met Nic Olguin and his father Eddy when I was at a CASA Field Target shoot in Pasadena this January. I was partnered up with Eddy and I couldn’t help but notice the machine work he had done to his Artemis bull pup. We started talking about the different modifications we had done to our platforms. He is a machinist and his son Nic started a small, home‑based business dedicated to producing handcrafted airgun targets designed for shooters who want durability, creativity, and reliable performance. I really like the targets and Nic is really easy to deal with and enthusiastic about his product!
