REXBURG – For Curtis Eves, there’s a lot of peace in firing a gun.
He’s loved recreational shooting since he was a kid and he and his wife, Laura, are part-owners of the newly expanded Madison Armory and indoor shooting range at 870 North 2nd East in Rexburg, which opened two weeks ago.
In a conversation with EastIdahoNews.com, Curtis describes shooting as an “art that you can master” and he enjoys that process in his personal life.
“There’s a fun aspect but I think there’s some good skills that can be learned as well,” Curtis says. “I find a lot of peace shooting, too. Good therapy. I live for it! I love it. It’s one of my favorite things to do.”
He got his start working at The Gun Shop in Idaho Falls before opening Madison Armory retail store across the street from its current location four years ago.
They quickly outgrew the space, which prompted the move to a much larger building.
“We also felt there was a need for a range in Rexburg,” Curtis explains.
The store sells all the popular brands, including custom-built guns from Lewiston-based Seekins Precision.
The Armory’s selection of handguns are a big draw for law enforcement. Curtis says officers with the Rexburg Police Department, Madison County Sheriff’s Office and Fremont County Sheriff’s Office are frequent customers and they often utilize the shooting range to hone their skills.
It’s also open to members of the community with paid admission. EastIdahoNews.com gave the gun range a shot (pun intended), which you can watch in the video above.
