Key People

Jerry Stiller: President

Jerry’s working background is in mechanical engineering with a major defense company for the past 22 years.  In that time he has specialized in prototype to production designs of night vision equipment for aircraft and ground vehicles, gimbals and other stabilized platforms and missile seekers. Very tight tolerances, intense structural analysis and testing, machine shop liaison and high performance finishes are the norm.  Jerry does all of the computer design and structural analysis for all of the products.  In his free time, Jerry likes to shoot, fish and build/ride custom Harley choppers when time permits.  Jerry has a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and is a Registered Professional Engineer in Texas.

Curtis Helton: Master Machinist

Curtis’s working background is in the machine shop with a major defense company for the past 23 years.  In that time he has specialized in running CNC lathes, machine centers and very high precision jig bores.  Curtis has built the toughest and tightest tolerance parts that the engineers could design.   Infrared optical assemblies, gimbal parts and other tough problems are just another day for this tool and die maker.  Curtis decides the best way to run the parts for best quality and minimal setups.  He also helps in the conceptualization process on many of the designs.  In his free time Curtis likes to hunt, shoot, fish and run his small farm. Curtis has a Bachelor’s degree in Business.

Unsung Heroes:

There are about a dozen of the nation's top shooters that help test products and give advice. I would especially like to thank Jerry Hensler.  Jerry has been there from the start to help us and make our product line better.  The drop port idea was his and is the most innovative way of ejection available today.  Speedy Gonzales, Ron Hoehn, Don Powell, Lowell Frei and Cecil Tucker among others for their help in the prototypes.  Now defunct, Shooters News magazine Boyd Allen is always there with ideas and help when needed. When I have a question or idea, I always bounce it off of these guys, because they usually know if it will work or how to fix it.
