"If you no shoot fast… maybe you stay home, make spring roll for husband." - Johnny Winn
I like anime hero, but instead of save princess, I save money. When I shoot, I very serious, like Bruce Lee with gun. When I talk… my accent thicker than my ex-wife makeup after she find my side chick.
My setup? Easy. DWX, SRO optic, Kore belt. This belt so strong, it hold up my pant, my trauma, AND my secret Tinder date. My holster so fast, by the time girl blink, I already reject her. Back in Vietnam, I shoot mango from tree to impress pretty girl. She marry my cousin. Now I shoot paper target, less heartbreak, more points.
I reload magazine faster than my wife reload my credit card bill… and she try VERY hard. My soooo big wish is Tactical Playground HQ training range with all you can eat buffet, free karaoke, and massage parlor for recovery. You finish stage, eat crab leg, sing Celine Dion, then get back on line. I roll with TPGHQ like eggroll. They real Asian family. Not Fast & Furious family. If you mess up, they yell at you, call you dumb in front of everyone, then still make you eat another plate before you go home.
Follow me on everything.
You want to learn? Follow. You want to laugh? Follow. You want marry rich Asian man with good belt? Follow twice.
"Target locked! Tactical Playground Transformation... Activate!"
-Paige Chan
Ohayo!! ✨ It’s Paige-Chan~! Your cheerful newbie shooter who loves anime, kawaii things, and pew-pew adventures~ 💖
My first time holding a gun felt just like the first episode of my own anime. I had my episode 1 clumsy anime moment and tripped. But Sensei Johnny Winn appeared like a wise mentor in my story, holding out his hand and saying, “You no worry, Sensei make you anime hero!.” I knew he could see the sparkles in my eyes when I hit my first target and thats when I knew.. this was my destiny.
A fun fact about me is that I’ve seen over 500 animes! I’m not called Paige-Chan for nothing, so if you talk to me about anime, we’ll instantly become besto friendos! At night, I dream of being surrounded by my crew and our nakama together on a hill at sunset, like the final scene of a season finale, all sharing the same dream of learning, growing, and having fun. Tactical Playground HQ is my kazoku. My guild, my team, and my family, adventuring together season after season!

Just be ready for a mix of sparkles, speed reloads, and kawaii chaos! Hehe 💕
"You can’t get so hung up on where you’d rather be that you forget how to make the most of where you are." – Arthur, Passengers (2016)
If I had to describe myself, I'd say corny. Simple as that. :^)
My go-to gun or gear setup is my trusty Canik Mete SF. It’s never failed me. I keep it simple with a Krydex battle belt, two pistol mag pouches, and one AR mag pouch. Enough to get the job done.
I first shot firearms in 2016 with my brother, who had been been a law enforcement officer for 2 years. Over time, I trained with stunt professionals who were former LEOs and military, focusing on firearms handling and weapons manipulation for film. In 2020, I bought my first pistol, the M&P 2.0, and that’s when the real journey began. Now, I’m proudly a Canik shooter, looooooool.
Fun fact about me is that I’m a filmmaker and an actor at heart. :^). I dream of building a community that supports and challenges each other, whether in competition or personal defense, while maintaining a culture of safety, respect, and skill. A place that not only produces better, more proficient shooters, but better people who inspire the next generation to uphold high standards and push them even further.
I roll with Tactical Playground HQ because there’s nothing better than shooting the breeze with your friends. No egos, just mutual support, self-improvement, and collective growth at full throttle.

“Memento Mori.” - Mr. Rasengun
I carry myself seriously, but with a touch of anime flair.
My go-to setup is a Glock 19 and a Sugar Weasel chambered in .300 Blackout. My story began when I first met Johnny Winn, and that's when my training arc started. Now, I roll with Tactical Playground HQ because I respect the members. They're serious about training and improving.
One fun fact about me is that I once spent Christmas in Cuba.
A dream of mine is to earn a Gundie Award.

"The Legs feed the Wolves." - Ashton Hammond
I would describe myself as a down to earth adventurer. When I shoot, my go to gun is the Black Scorpion, Race City Defense, simple!!
I first got into shooting when I was watching YouTube and seen Lucas Botkin shooting and thought it was the coolest thing ever! I wanted to try it out, but I didn’t know where or how. I then found a local on Instagram post a stage run, and I was hooked after a quick DM.
A fun fact about me is that I have been on Disney Channel, and a future wish or dream of mine is having a training facility one day!
To me, Tactical Playground HQ is the best people with interest of sharing a story to better the community.

" Don’t try, just do.” - Deshaun Jenkins
I’m serious while shooting. But when I’m not pulling the trigger I’m super goofy, playful, and chill at the same time. My go to Gun is the CZ Shadow 2 all done up by Cajun Gunworks. It’s such a versatile gun and it also looks soooooooo good!
I first got into shooting back in 2018 when I wanted to start carrying and I started working in Security/Law Enforcement. I wanted to actually be capable if I ever had to use my firearm. But in 2021 is when I started my competition arc and I leveled up IMMEDIATELY!
A fun fact about me is I can draw very very well. Many people aren’t aware of that fact because I don’t draw as much anymore. But I used to draw anime all the time. A future dream as it pertains to shooting is to have my own range that I can go to whenever I want and do whatever I want.
I roll with tactical playground because they are just amazing people. They’re super fun; they love anime and food just like me as well. Also they want to learn.
