Marksmanship Training Center
The Marksmanship Training Center is a collaboration of 6 former military veterans (USMC MSG, USMC FAST Co Designated Marksman, US Army Special Forces Sniper, and USMC Scout Snipers) with recent operational experience in the private sector as members of ERT and PSS teams under contract with DoS Diplomatic Security Services. We represent a wide array of age, training and operational experience and have a specific vision for what will make a superior long range training facility.
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
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. For best range support - reserve your T Time in advance.

Highlights
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).

- With our custom target placement system, targets will be relocated several times per month – giving you a whole new range and range estimation practice every time you visit.
- 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 - Coming soon! We will be adding 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.
