Meet Your Instructor
Christopher Lore, Founder & Instructor
Christopher founded Boolits Builders in 2021 with a passion for firearms safety and education, sparked by a life-changing moment with his wife during Christmas 2020. Her encouragement and shared love for firearms inspired him to turn his passion into a business, and she remains his biggest supporter in empowering students. Christopher offers a wide range of courses, including NRA certifications, AVERT training, and personalized instruction, ensuring every student gains the confidence and skills to handle firearms safely
Our Journey
Boolits Builders was born from a pivotal moment in 2020, when Christopher Lore gifted his wife a pistol for Christmas. Her first range session sparked a shared passion for firearms safety, leading to the founding of Boolit’s Builders in 2021 in Winchester, Virginia. Starting with a focus on ammunition reloading, Christopher quickly adapted to demand, expanding into beginner firearm safety, women-only courses, NRA certifications, AVERT training, and more. Today, Boolit’s Builders stands as a beacon of responsible firearm education, empowering students at every level.
