Marcus Seirer opened The Rusty Trigger in Clay Center after six years running a shop in Longford alongside his full-time work. Word spread across Kansas—customers from Colby, Goodland, Wichita, and Kansas City made the drive—so he committed to a brick-and-mortar location at 429 Court Street.

• •Firearms & Ammunition - Full inventory of firearms and ammo stock

• •Suppressors - A core part of the business. Seirer has streamlined the application process significantly. Turnaround times have improved from 8-10 months to just a day to a week, thanks to better government processing and his experience navigating the system.

• •Indoor Archery Range - The standout feature. The range includes:
• •Interactive 3D hunting screen where you practice taking shots at deer, elk, and other game before the real hunt
• •Trail camera footage integration for realistic pre-hunt practice
• •Two entry-level bow rentals (hourly rates)
• •Bring-your-own-bow option

Seirer collects and restores older firearms. He loves the craftsmanship of vintage guns and enjoys cleaning them up to give them new life. That passion for classic firearms is where The Rusty Trigger gets its name.

Seirer notes hours are flexible if customers need something different.

He plans to expand the archery equipment selection and continue growing the business beyond basic retail into a community gathering spot for outdoor enthusiasts.
