About ShotStop Founders

ShotStop was founded by Jim Tyner, Terry Bilbey and Gary Bombalicki

​

We all have extensive business experience and other businesses that provide our living. ShotStop was founded out of necessity to keep Redlands Shooting Park open but quickly grew into a vital provider of our special ballistic fabric used to construct shot containment curtains. We all have a passion for the clay target sports and are proud that ShotStop has been used to keep clubs open for the continued enjoyment of thousands of current shooters and maintaining their clubs as a legacy for shooters to come.
