Richard Wyman - Founder
USCCA Certified Instructor/Training Counselor
NRA Certified Instructor Pistol, Rifle, Personal Protection in the home, RTBAV.
Chief Range Safety Officer
Kansas CCHL Instructor-Missouri CCW Instructor
As a teenager I learned to hunt upland birds and waterfowl hunting which I still enjoy today. I was introduced to Skeet shooting later in life and fell in love with the sport and became a competitive shooter taking a couple of state championships.
January 28, 1998 marked a change in my direction. I was checking into a hotel in Orlando around midnight and was held up at gun point. Being angry at myself for being careless, I resolved not be a victim again. I began to study many self-defense disciplines.
I received my KS CCHL license and instructor ratings from the NRA and the USCCA. I discovered I loved teaching others what I had to learn the hard way. I now have several ratings plus the USCCA Training Counselor rating. I look forward to passing along the life saving tools I've learned.

NRA Range Safety Officer (RSO)
KS CCHL Instructor
Everyone has their story.
In 2007 I applied for my Concealed Carry Handgun License because of a stalker that was harassing my family. Not too long after that my wife obtained her CCHL License also. Even though Kansas is a Constitutional Carry State we both felt that the CCHL License is an appropriate choice especially concerning Kansas Law and understanding it’s application.
In 2010 a game changer occurred. My friend and coworker of 30+ years was brutally murdered while restoring service to a cell communication site. He died for a few dollars and some change. The assailant evidently didn’t care that he would have given him the money if he had the chance but, he never got the chance.
I became bitter and angry. I wanted revenge, but I couldn’t reconcile it with my faith so that just added to my frustration.
Enter Richard Wyman CEO of First Shot Ks. He helped me channel my anger into a positive direction by recommending that I become a Range Safety Officer and later a CCHL Instructor. I found that working with new shooters was fun, interesting, and very rewarding. Training people on the safe use and handling of firearms & conflict avoidance is great therapy!
At First Shot Ks we don’t take an “in your face” approach BUT we do take safety VERY seriously.
We are looking forward to meeting you.
Stay safe
