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.
The ribbon is cut, and now it’s time to reveal what we’ve been building… VAELON.
- A first glimpse at the prototype
- This is just the start.
- Updates are coming soon!
Tell us what you think of Vaelon.
What a week. Being able to share our mission and beliefs with our new community, shake hands, and make new friends has truly set the tone for the next year. Stay tuned; this is only the beginning.
One final thank you to everyone who took the time to come out and see our new home.
This is what we do here.
We chase success, build teams that become families, and strive to make American manufacturing something to be respected again.
Thank you again to everyone who came out to support us yesterday!
Introducing Marty, the Lead Gunsmith at Watchtower Defense, an Army combat veteran whose experience, craftsmanship, and commitment to excellence shape every firearm manufactured at our facility.
In this interview, Marty shares his journey, his perspective on gunsmithing, and what it takes to pursue a higher standard of quality in the firearms industry. From lessons learned through military service to the attention to detail required at the bench, Marty gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the mindset and craftsmanship that go into his work.
New guns doesn`t necessarily mean more innovation.
Vaelon was built with a different question in mind:
What could we do differently?
The answer seemed simple: bring more control, to our systems, QC processes, every aspect of the design, and ultimately to the shooter.
The firearm depicted is a prototype model; The Vaelon is still in development but will be hitting dealers soon. Stay tuned.
Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the men and women who ran toward danger to protect others.
Remember them. Honor them. Never forget.
Did you think we were done with just two new models? We`re just getting started.
The firearms depicted are prototype models; they are still in development but will be hitting dealers soon.
