About Gunfighter Ranch

The ranch came first.

Our home

Gunfighter Ranch is our family home—not just a name on the workshop.

Located in Gonzales County, Texas, the ranch is rooted in family, hard work, and community. We came here looking for a simpler, more meaningful way to raise our family away from the hustle and bustle of big-city life.

Life here includes the goats, Buddy and Gracie, Karen the cat, and the family members who share the feeding, building, fixing, and everyday work. The animals are part of the daily routine and a constant reminder that responsibility is not an abstract idea.

The name started with the ranch. The engraving business came later.

Life here

The family and animals behind the name.

This is the everyday side of Gunfighter Ranch—the porch, the pasture, the animals, and the people caring for them.

The workshop grew out of the same values.

Founded by a Marine Corps veteran and inspired by the spirit of the American West, the engraving side of Gunfighter Ranch began as a small family business making custom hats, patches, gifts, and one-off pieces.

We are no longer running a full-time online store, but we still take select custom requests when the idea, material, timing, and story are the right fit. Every accepted project begins with a direct conversation.
