Dwight Bridges, Instructor

Dwight is an NRA Certified Range Safety Officer (RSO) at Texas Legends. His father started teaching him firearm safety in elementary school with his first Daisy BB gun. Soon after he graduated to his dad’s Winchester model 74 .22 caliber rifle. In the 9th grade, he began sharing this skill with others when he started helping run rifle ranges at summer camp.

Over the years he has taught hundreds of people to shoot safely and helped many of them improve their skill levels. He also continues to practice improving his own firearm skills and add new ones. His latest new skill being an interest in long range shooting.

With over three decades of experience teaching leadership skills in a wilderness environment as a hobby, it was a natural move to pursue this in retirement. So, after retiring from a rewarding telecommunications career in 2016, he began a venture teaching outdoor living and survival skills.

 When not at the range, Dwight and his wife enjoy travelling, hiking, fine cuisine, spending time with friends, and taking their two dogs on regular walks.

Nancy Brobston, Marketing / Merchandise Administrative Specialist

Voted most likely to succeed in the 2nd grade by her stuffed animals, Nancy can testify she has fulfilled this expectation from youth. Her life has been wonderfully blessed beyond her imagination!

She's been with us at Texas Legends since our opening in March 2020. With a background in costume and fashion design and minors in marketing and art, many have asked, "How did you get a job at a gun range?" Her response? "Well, God has a sense of humor!"

She believed if she could earn her masters in business management to aid her sanity while raising teenagers, then she could learn about firearms. Being curious with an adventurous spirit, she has been open to learning new ways of thinking and personal protection.

Confident firearms are a great equalizer, she delights in zealously encouraging others to boldly face their fears of firearms as she has. Face Everything And Rise! We are worth protecting! Our families are worth protecting!

As a Military Brat, Nancy has great appreciation for her American heritage, freedom, and deep gratitude with respect for those who've served in the military, law enforcement, and first responders.

Nancy is playful, loves critters, exploring new experiences, nature and the great outdoors. She loves people which shows in everything she does. She brings with her a joy and sunshine and is the "heart of the range". She openly and honestly shares her experiences with firearms - both good and bad - going above and beyond to make people feel welcome.
