About Cape Gun Works

Brendon and Toby had big dreams and an idea turned into a plan and a small spark ignited a small crowd-funding effort which snowballed into substantial community support enabling this life-time dream become a reality.

Noticing a lack of a publically accessible shooting range in southeastern Massachusetts, the pair began the brainstorming process which was put into motion in the Fall of 2012. With their combined business acumen and firearms passion they methodically researched ranges and stores throughout the US and developed a solid business plan with laser-focused financial and market forecasts.

The local lenders were given first right of refusal but were reticent on the firearms-themed business model. Bricklin and Leary’s pitch was that they were importing a validated business model into virgin territory, but the locals remained skittish. Through an industry contact they were put in touch with an SBA lender out of Wisconsin who had funded numerous ranges and merrily funded the project.

It didn’t happen overnight. In fact it took years of hard work and building up the venture in steps, the first being a small leased space on Barnstable Road in Hyannis. After getting established in late 2013 there, the business moved next door into a former bank building, then next door to that next to a hair salon.

The company’s fourth location is where they currently own and operate the business in 20,000 square feet of commercial space at 96 Airport Road Hyannis. Bricklin and Leary have been committed to operating the business to the highest standards possible with a focus on Passion, Integrity, and Excellence. They are committed to providing both citizens and law enforcement personnel with a high-quality place to be trained, equipped, and educated in a safe, clean, and professional environment.
