Pushing the limits of performance shooting and documenting the journey along the way.
Brennan and Justin connected through Instagram in 2019, living across the country from each other. Over the years they had long discussions about all things shooting. In 2021, Brennan moved to Wisconsin and they were able to start training and shooting matches together. Social media content was an organic result of hanging out together, and in March of 2023, the idea to start a YouTube channel was born.
Our goal at Gateway Defense is to set the standard for what performance shooting can be. Both of us got into guns and shooting for defensive reasons: feeling the need to have the equipment and skills necessary to protect ourselves and our loved ones. As we progressed, we both eventually realized the best way to practice was with competitive shooting. We hope to document what we are doing to become better defenders, competitors, and shooters, and provide helpful insight into what we are learning.
