Meadow Ridge Outdoors is owned and operated by Kerry and Lori Pruitt. When dreaming up the concept for this one-of-a-kind retail and shooting sports facility, their mission was multi-fold. First, they wanted a museum-like space to share animals from around the world with everyone. From that idea grew thoughts of shooting ranges, educational classes, the ability to host special functions and, of course, the store itself. Their dream began to take shape when Meadow Ridge Outdoors opened its doors in 2016 and today, it is still ever-growing. As Lori likes to say, "We are a work in progress!"

Kerry and Lori have two daughters, Caroline, who earned the Safari Club International and Cabela's 2010 Young Hunter of the Year award is now a pilot, wife and mother.  Kimberly, who's traveled the world on many successful hunts as a skilled marksman, serves as the general manager of Meadow Ridge Outdoors and is our resident silencer expert. She and Lori are also Texas License to Carry instructors. Education, in fact, is Lori's greatest passion. She regularly offers archery instruction and one-on-one handgun classes.
