About Us
Rainbow Shooting range had its beginnings in the mid-1960s when Captain Louis E. Duncan (USMC, Ret) realized his customers from the gun shop needed a safe, family-friendly place to shoot.
Louis E. Duncan hails from Baltimore, MD. As a Maryland National Guard Rifle Team member, Lou shot in the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, in 1935. He subsequently joined the U.S. Marine Corps. As a Member of the U.S. 4th Marines, he was one of the famous China Marines and later became a Japanese POW when the Philippine Islands of Corregidor fell early in World War II.
Upon his return home after the war, he met and subsequently married another Marine, Sgt. Clara Kuchar. Shortly after the wedding, Gy. Sgt. Duncan reported for duty at Quantico, just in time for the Eastern Division Matches in May 1946. Firing a weapon for the first time since 1942 and the M1 for the first time in his life, the Gunny won a silver medal in the rifle finals and a bronze in the pistol finals.
The Marine Corps brought the growing family of five to Southern California in December 1950. During the Korean War, Gunny was promoted to Lieutenant. Upon retiring from the USMC in 1957, mustang Captain Duncan devoted all of his time to building Duncan’s Gunworks, Inc. while Clara was busy with their five children.
When the Captain passed away in 1995, Clara kept Rainbow Range operational. Today two of their children, Tom and Debby, carry on the legacy of L.E. Duncan’s Rainbow Shooting Club.
