Self-Defense & Competition Shooting Tips
Dave Zimmerman founded Target Barn back in 1982. What started as a hobby selling guns and accessories at local gun shows, turned into a flourishing business providing customers with top-quality cardboard targets and great deals on ammo.
Dave has had the opportunity to participate in many shooting sports, including shooting the NRA Bianchi Cup, the World Speed Shooting Championship, several USPSA and IDPA National Championship matches, an IDPA World Championship match, and has even traveled internationally for matches. Dave likes to use the knowledge he’s gained over the years from his time in the gun industry and experience shooting matches to help educate the next generation of shooters.
