Video on the new Vantage is coming soon. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we couldn’t be more thankful for this incredible opportunity to create new firearms this year.
These are the prototype models, but the Vantage final form is extremely close to this. What you see is essentially what you can expect!
Share your thoughts in the comments, we love what you have to say. Thank you.
This Veterans Day, we’re proud to recognize and thank the veterans who are part of our team. The morale around the shop wouldn’t be the same without them bringing the experience, perspective, and lessons they learned serving alongside their fellow men and women defending our great country.
We’re grateful to work alongside individuals who continue to demonstrate dedication, commitment, and teamwork in everything they put out.
To all the veterans on our team and beyond, thank you for your service! 🇺🇸

Build the foundation.
Curtis shares the experiences and influences that helped shape his journey, from his time serving in the Army to the firearms and the inspiration he found in his grandfather’s guns.
From our new facility to our manufacturing processes and commitment to quality, Curtis talks about what it means to build a strong foundation from the ground up—and why the people behind the products matter just as much as the products themselves.
Get to know Curtis, hear his story, and take a look inside the team working to define the next chapter of Watchtower Defense.
