"Accuracy is our number one priority and we don't make a suppressor we wouldn't take to competition or into the field, period."

Thunder Beast runs field-based rifle courses taught by Brian Whalen, an instructor with credentials spanning 10th Special Forces Group, Denver SWAT, and multiple international special operations units. His current and past students include:

• •Special Operations snipers and designated marksmen
• •PRS, NRL, and Cowboy Defender competitors
• •DEA and Iraqi Special Forces
• •Romanian, Senegalese, and Jordanian special operations units

Course Structure: Classes address shooting from three angles: 1. Physical fundamentals — rifle setup, shooting positions in austere conditions, moving beyond prone shooting 2. Data management — building repeatable zeros and accurate environmental correction systems 3. Environmental reading — mastering wind and condition adjustments through low student-to-instructor ratios and constant field challenges

Students observe, receive coaching, and reshoot to reinforce skills. Classes are designed to challenge all levels—from beginners to national competitors to military snipers.

Thunder Beast Arms is proudly owned and operated in Cheyenne by Shane Coppinger (manufacturing and R&D), Zak Smith (business operations), and Ray Sanchez (sales and customer service).
