Meet the Coach

"Over 30 years of Experience"

Welcome to Red Dirt Shooting Sports (RDSS)! Meet Coach Gary Parks, the founder and driving force behind our organization. With over 30 years of experience in coaching and teaching youth in shooting sports and outdoor activities, Coach Parks is deeply passionate about empowering the next generation of conservationists and sports enthusiasts.

Coach Parks’ journey into the world of archery began with a simple request from his granddaughter to try archery with their local 4H shooting sports program. Since then, he has been dedicated to providing young athletes with unique opportunities to learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment. With a background in hunting and conservation, Coach Parks is committed to instilling a love for the outdoors and a sense of responsibility towards wildlife and habitat preservation in Oklahoma’s youth.
