The Vision
Marksmanship Training Center was founded with the vision of creating a national level firearms training center which is also available to the local shooting community. MTC is owned and operated by several military veterans with many years of experience which can be passed onto you through our extensive classes and courses, custom competitive events, and facility reservation programs for competition teams, commercial training companies and professional Mil/LE training groups.
LEARN. PRACTICE. MASTER.
The mission of the Marksmanship Training Center is to bring an advanced level of precision firearms training to the shooting community for personal skill enhancement, competitive challenges and professional training. No matter you proficiency level, our ranges are designed to improve real world application of your firearm. While we intend to provide the most advanced shooting center complete with all the tools, knowledge and resources a professional needs for continuous practical application, we also intend to deliver a relaxed environment to learn and practice.

1000 yard UKD range
This may be the most difficult UKD range in America - But don’t be intimidated, after utilizing this range you will soon realize it’s practicality in real world scenarios from tactical operations to long range hunting. Even as a traditional style competitor you will have another tool in your tool box as a professional shooter.
Highlights
1000 yard KD range
Because you asked for it. We understand having a long range paper targets is a valuable asset to any serious shooter; either for training, competitions, or even personal ballistic load testing.

25 yard Pistol range
This range was a must have for the owners of MTC. We enjoy pistol shooting (almost) as much long range and understand the need to master multiple weapon systems. If you carry on the job, have a CCW, or have a pistol for home protection – it’s your responsibility to know and master your firearm(s).

Please Note: Check schedule before traveling as professional training and competitive events have priority over recreational shoots.
- New firing line pavilion with comfortable space and weather protection for each shooter as well as an enclosed bleacher section and 2nd story press box.
- Steel Targets for instant hit/miss feedback.
- Custom silhouette targets with center mass vital hit flag, for when even an outside “HIT” isn’t good enough.
- From one static shooting line shooters can develop solid scope data for ranges 300 to 1050 yards. Most professional UKD ranges are from 250 to 800. Smaller confirmation head targets are placed 200-300 yards.
- With our custom target placement system, targets will be relocated one a year – giving you a whole new range and range estimation practice every time you visit.
- 4 Big bore target bunkers located at 300y, 550y, 700y and 1050 yards capable of handling 333, 408 and 50MBG.
- UKD Cheat Cards – Our clients are able to download/print a prefilled range card prior to visiting the range. Take advantage of this training tool as personal verification against your range estimation.
- Astroturf - While at MTC you will be treated with artificial grass while in the prone because we don’t like sand in our high dollar firearms and optics either.
- Obstacles - We have added several alternative shooting platforms which will simulate real world barrier shooting positions.
- Weather Effects - Multiple NRA certified wind flags are flown down range. Mini weather stations will also be displayed for proper data book entries.
- Sun Direction – While most ranges are designed to shoot south to north, our range is setup just the opposite to add real world environmental difficulties on the shooter.
