Bald, Bearded, and Bold: A Conversation with Jason Salyards of GUNTRY WVIn a recent episode of Bald, Bearded, and Bold, listeners were treated to a powerful, grounded conversation with Jason Salyards, the Director of Training at GUNTRY WV. With a calm confidence shaped by military service, years of elite tactical instruction, and a deep love for community, Jason brings both humility and authority to the mic—qualities that have come to define his leadership in the world of firearms education. From his early days in the military to becoming one of the region’s most respected weapons instructors, Jason’s journey is about more than tactical know-how; it’s about service, family, and a relentless commitment to excellence.From Soldier to Teacher: The Journey Begins Jason Salyards’ story starts in the military, where he served with distinction and forged the foundation for the instructor he would later become. Like many veterans, his time in uniform wasn’t just about following orders or surviving deployments—it was about mastering skills, building discipline, and learning how to lead. During the podcast, Jason shared candid insights into the formative moments of his military experience—how structure, repetition, and mentorship shaped his perspective on training. It was in these demanding environments that he first discovered his love for teaching. “You can hand someone a weapon,” he says in the episode, “but the real magic is when you help them understand it—when they respect it, when they’re confident, and when they know how to use it safely.” That moment of realization—that training could be more than a requirement, that it could be a gift—was a turning point. Jason wasn’t just a soldier anymore. He was a teacher in the making.Training the Elite: Agencies, Law Enforcement & More After transitioning from the military, Jason found himself increasingly in demand. His calm demeanor, vast knowledge base, and real-world experience made him an ideal instructor for law enforcement officers, tactical teams, and government agencies across the country. But what sets Jason apart isn’t just his resume—it’s his approach. Whether he’s working with a rookie officer or a seasoned federal agent, Jason brings the same energy: clear communication, mutual respect, and a commitment to outcomes. “Training,” he explains in the podcast, “isn’t about proving how much you know. It’s about showing someone what they’re capable of—and then helping them believe it.” His work has earned him widespread recognition. Over the years, he has trained members of multiple agencies, from local police departments to federal units. His classes don’t just teach technical skills—they instill calm under pressure, ethical responsibility, and a deeper appreciation for what it means to carry a weapon.A New Chapter: GUNTRY WV in Wheeling Now, Jason is bringing that expertise to the Ohio Valley in a big way. As the head of training at GUNTRY WV, a state-of-the-art indoor shooting and training facility in Wheeling, West Virginia, he’s helping to build more than a business—he’s building a culture. GUNTRY WV isn’t your typical range. It’s an immersive, professional space designed to serve everyone from first-time shooters to advanced professionals. With classrooms, simulators, live-fire ranges, and community events, GUNTRY is redefining what a firearms training facility can be. For Jason, this is the culmination of everything he’s worked toward: a place where training is approachable, excellence is expected, and community comes first. “People walk in nervous, and they leave empowered,” he says. “That’s what we’re doing here—making people better. Not just with a gun, but in life.”Excellence for Everyone: From Beginners to Experts One of the most inspiring parts of the conversation was Jason’s passion for teaching everyone—not just seasoned shooters or professionals. Beginners, especially, hold a special place in his mission. “There’s nothing more rewarding than working with someone who’s never touched a firearm and watching them transform,” he reflects. “You see their confidence grow, their mindset shift. It’s powerful.” At GUNTRY WV, inclusivity is key. The staff is trained to meet people where they are—whether you’re a concealed carry permit applicant, a retired veteran looking to refine your skills, or a parent who just wants to learn gun safety for the home. This philosophy—rooted in patience, friendliness, and trust—isn’t an accident. It’s built into the DNA of the training culture Jason has helped to establish. “Excellence,” he reminds listeners, “isn’t about ego. It’s about consistency, humility, and doing the work.”Why Wheeling? A Family, a Community, a Calling When asked why he chose to put down roots in Wheeling, West Virginia, Jason’s answer is simple and heartfelt: family and community. “I fell in love with the Ohio ...
