My Biography
TerryAnn Bowen, co-owner of Manchester Firing Line Indoor Shooting Range, Training Facility and Gun shop, has a fascinating journey that led her to the world of firearms. Growing up in a self-described anti-gun community, TerryAnn never expected to be involved with firearms. However, life took an unexpected turn when she met a U.S. Marine.
Now, alongside her husband Jake, a Marine Veteran, TerryAnn is a fixture at the state-of-the-art Brown Avenue facility. TerryAnn is a certified instructor for both the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) and the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Additionally, she founded the Iron Rose Women's Shooting Club, providing a supportive and non-intimidating environment for women interested in firearms. Her expertise and passion make her an invaluable resource for anyone looking to learn about responsible firearm use and self-defense.
As a mother of six, TerryAnn provides hands-on expert guidance to new shooters, personally selecting and training the professional staff to understand the unique needs of those stepping onto the range for the first time. TerryAnn's dedication to firearm safety and education has not gone unnoticed. Manchester Firing Line has been named the Faces of Firearm Safety and Education for multiple years.
