Guns and Grace

Guns and Grace operates across multiple North Dakota locations—Killdeer (home base), Dickinson, Belfield Sportsman's Club, Zap Sportsman's Club, and Watford City—offering instruction that starts with one premise: every student, regardless of experience, begins with the Introduction to Handguns course covering safety and fundamentals.

Alanna Tomjack founded Guns and Grace and leads all ladies-only instruction. Her husband Troy, an NRA instructor and ND CWL Test Administrator, handles guys' individual and small group lessons plus ND LEOSA shooting qualifications. Dina Klein serves as an additional certified instructor. The business grew from Alanna running an annual ladies event at a local range that filled with a waiting list—she expanded to reach more women across North Dakota and South Dakota with flexible scheduling.

Conquer fear with understanding and the power of grace on the firing line. — Alanna

The business explicitly focuses on helping women overcome fear of firearms—women who've been afraid for 50 years often leave the range loving larger calibers after training. Every lesson emphasizes building confidence, not empowerment rhetoric. The foundation is always safe, proper technique learned through dry fire before live fire.

They partner with local ranges (Belfield, Zap, Dickinson) and actively attend gun shows across North Dakota and South Dakota selling training systems and gear. The ministry component—addressing spiritual fears alongside practical marksmanship—differentiates Guns and Grace from standard range instruction.
