Firearms & Tactical Training in Southern Utah
Professional firearms and tactical skills training on a private 400-acre range near St. George and Cedar City. Pistol to precision rifle, NRA certifications to your Utah CFP — small classes, certified instructors, terrain that fights back.
// Our approach
Train the way it actually happens.
A square range with a paper target teaches you to stand still. We don’t. On 400 acres of natural terrain you’ll train prone, off barricades, around vehicles, in shoot houses and from an elevated tower — because that’s where skill actually gets tested.
Every course starts at zero and scales to advanced, with class sizes small enough that individual coaching is the default. You leave with numbers you can measure, not just a certificate.
// What we teach
Train across the disciplines.
Every course is taught by NRA-certified instructors and Chief Range Safety Officers drawn from military, law enforcement, and serious civilian shooters. Most courses are open to ages 12 and up.
