ARE YOU UP FOR A CHALLENGE?​

THINK YOU CAN SHOOT IN THE WIND?​

PROVE IT! SHOOT THE 'SNAKE!​

We can't guarantee the winds will be challenging, but the odds are in our favor. If you want to challenge your skills come to the Rattlesnake Mountain Shooting Facility (RMSF) High Power Range in Benton City, Washington and put them to the test.

PUT YOUR SKILLS TO THE TEST!​

Ah, yes. Rattlesnake. Home of the (in)famous 'Rattlesnake Clean'.

Where the honey-buckets are strapped down to cement pads to keep them from blowing over - or away.

Where that clicking noise you hear is the sound of gravel blowing down the line.

Where there are strategically placed rocks for every firing point to weight down your shooting mat when you get up after a string so it doesn't launch over the berm.

Actually one of my favorite places to shoot (when I can)... because all the sub-quarter-MOA groups in the world won't save you from the WIND
