Boolits Builders
Your Trusted Firearms Training Source

Boolits Builders LLC was founded in 2021 by Christopher Lore in Winchester, Virginia, but its roots trace back to a personal turning point during Christmas of 2020. At the time, Christopher was working for the U.S. Postal Service—a job that, according to his wife, left him miserable. That year, he bought her a pistol for Christmas. Although she had grown up around firearms, she had never formally learned how to manipulate one. After a successful and confidence-building range session together, she looked at him and said, “You should get a job doing something with firearms.” Christopher jokingly replied, “Why don’t we open a business?” She said “okay,” and the rest is history. To this day, he credits her as the reason Boolits Builders exists—and says with a smile, “It’s all her fault,” while thanking her every single day.

​

The business began with a niche focus: teaching people how to reload ammunition, both shotgun shells and metallic cartridges. But it quickly became clear that there wasn’t strong demand for reloading education. So, Christopher pivoted—expanding the business to include beginner firearm safety training, private live-fire instruction, women-only courses, and advanced certifications like NRA Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, and Personal Protection in the Home, as well as AVERT active shooter response training.

​

Christopher is proud to say that although he does not come from a law enforcement or military background, he built Boolits Builders LLC on a foundation of professionalism, integrity, and a deep passion for helping others become safe, confident, and capable firearm owners.
