Hello and thank you for visiting our website. Precision Arms of Indiana is a small Indiana-based corporation who has taken the love of freedom and the enjoyment of firearms and turned it into a business. Our founder, Jeff Ott, has been shooting and hunting since childhood. Raised in Indiana farm country, he has known and studied firearms and shooting techniques all his life. Military knowledge of firearms abounds in his family and from them he learned much about military small arms and their use. Under the careful supervision of his brother-in-law, a military arms instructor, he learned to shoot and care for rifles, pistols and shotguns at a very early age.

After earning a B.S and M.A., Jeff taught school and continued with firearms as his hobby. In the mid-70s, he learned of the new Gunsite shooting school run by Colonel Jeff Cooper near Prescott, AZ. By attending, he gained new insights into what carrying a handgun really meant in the real world. He obtained his first Indiana Unlimited Personal Protection Permit in 1976 and has been carrying handguns since that time. Always wanting to become proficient and better educated, he studied with Massad Ayoob, John Farnum and Clint Smith. Jeff has since become charter life-member #30 of the International Defensive Pistol Association. He is a Benefactor member of the National Rifle Association. He is an NRA-certified Training Counselor and firearms instructor in all disciplines. He is a member of the Garand Collector's Association. He has 10 years of servics as a reserve deputy sheriff. He holds the rank of Master Shooter in pistol and rifle and has reached perfect 300 scores in police qualification courses.
He is a certified Glock, Smith&Wesson and AR15/M16 armorer. He is a member of the NFA Owners of America and gives lectures on automatic arms and their use. He competes in sub-machine gun competitions around the country. He is a regular competitor at Camp Perry in the Civilian Marksmanship Program's mathces held in August of each year shooting M1 Garands and 1903 rifles. He holds a Master's degree in adult training and education. He is an accomplished author and has written over 200 articles in his lifetime. He has been actively involved in firearms training for over 25 years.
