This isn’t just another shooting range — it’s a mission to raise protectors and leaders.
Founded and led by former Special Forces, Beans & Bullets delivers combat-proven training anchored in faith, family, and freedom.

We don’t train for entertainment — we train to live ready.

Where Warriors Train Off the Grid.
Held on private property near San Antonio, Florida, 35 minutes north of Tampa Bay, this exclusive outdoor range offers an off-the-grid setting for authentic tactical training. You train with warriors, not weekend hobbyists. You pray before you shoot. You lead with conviction. That’s what makes Outdoor Shooting Range Tampa experiences like Beans & Bullets stand apart: a rare blend of precision, purpose, and patriotism.
From husbands to wives, sons to daughters—this is where families grow stronger together.
Faith, Family & Fellowship at the Range
Each Beans & Bullets event begins with prayer, grounding the day in gratitude for freedom and safety. Families are welcome—parents, grandparents, and children often attend—but the instruction comes from Special Forces veterans who uphold the highest standards of readiness and respect. Between drills, participants share stories, scripture, and moments of mentorship. It’s a day that strengthens not just your aim, but your faith and fellowship.
Led by warriors, fueled by faith, bound by brotherhood—this is more than training; it’s purpose in action.
What Makes Beans & Bullets Unique
Veteran Leadership: Led by former Green Berets and elite trainers, every drill builds precision, awareness, and confidence, directly enhancing your shooting accuracy and tactical readiness. You’re learning from warriors who’ve lived it.
Mission Driven Purpose: A portion of proceeds supports military and law enforcement veteran ministries, extending hope and brotherhood beyond the range.
Private Tactical Venue: Nestled in Florida’s scenic outskirts, this secure, veteran-led range allows you to train with focus and freedom. No lines. No crowds. Just clarity and conviction.
Patriotic Flavor & Fellowship: Between tactical sessions, the air fills with the scent of smoked brisket and fire-grilled ribs prepared by veteran-owned caterers. Every event features a new culinary twist, but the heart remains the same—breaking bread, building bonds, and giving thanks for freedom.
All Skill Levels Welcome: Whether you’re a first-time shooter or a seasoned protector, you’ll find mentorship, motivation, and meaning. Every participant trains at their own pace, with safety and respect leading every drill.
Every drill builds discipline. Every meal builds community. Every prayer builds legacy.
Your Day on the Range
Every round fired honors the American spirit. Every story shared strengthens the brotherhood. Every prayer reminds us why we train—to protect, to provide, and to preserve freedom.

Yes. Private debt is part of the alternative investment industry, alongside private equity and real estate. However, unlike speculative alternatives, it is rooted in tangible collateral and disciplined underwriting.
For Rick, this means reliability during semi-retirement. For Jessica, it provides confidence that her wealth is stewarded responsibly. Both see private debt alternative investment as a way to maintain independence, clarity, and legacy.
Real questions, honest answers—because trust and safety come before every trigger pull.
