The range setup includes prone firing positions with mats, granite shooting benches with sandbags and rests, paper target frames at 100 and 200 yards, steel deer silhouettes at 200-460 yards, and electric moving targets that traverse at 179, 200, and 250 yards.

They offer professional rifle, pistol, carbine, and shotgun classes with different focus areas:

• •Long-range precision courses (~$300-$500): 2-hour morning instruction followed by full-day practice out to 700+ yards. Shooters leave with recorded zeros for future reference. Standard rifle classes run $300 per person (max 4 shooters), with surcharges for magnum calibers ($400) and large bore rifles ($500).
• •Beginner classes: Heavy emphasis on comfort, familiarization, and safe handling for new shooters, including women and kids
• •Reloading classes: Available by arrangement

"No feel good, fluff & gimmicks, spray & pray stuff." The facility focuses on actual skill development out to distance, not shortcuts.

Long-range precision courses require just one box (20 rounds) of ammunition. Shooters need a level and medium-heavy barrel rifle for best results. The approach prioritizes solid fundamentals that shooters can apply immediately and repeatedly.
