When we started Peacemaker, LLC we set out to fill a much-needed void by creating an outdoor shooting range and training facility not offered anywhere else in the region.
While I have been remiss about posting much on social media, we have been working up to 18 hours a day and 7 days a week on countless, large projects. We have a lot of exciting announcements forthcoming over the next several months as we roll-out our master plan.
Today we passed an exciting mile marker towards accomplishing one of our first goals:
After months of delays from the incredibly wet winter and juggling the construction of our new training facility, as well as our incredibly intense workload, we have completed the rough grading of the berms of our new shooting range @ Mission Farm in Iron Station. We are very excited to have reached this mile marker. There is still a lot of work to do but the remaining phases will be completed much more quickly. The rough grading of the berms is by far the most time-intensive phase.
This will be the nicest outdoor shooting range and training facility in the region. Here are some of the highlights.
- 95’ wide X 175’ long bay floor with 18’ tall berms on 3-1/2 sides that will allow for plenty of elbow room while on the firing line and the ability to set up courses of fire for moving and shooting in a manner that will allow for engaging multiple targets at multiple angles.
- Football field synthetic turf with cushion in-fill for the first 75’ and irrigated Bermuda grass for the remaining 100’.
- Irrigated Bermuda grass berms.
- A top-of-the-line professional grade, competition spec plate rack.
- An array of steel silhouette and reactive steel targets.
- Integrated loud speakers and lights for audio and visual commands.
- shelter with picnic tables, electrical service, circulation fans, lights, and hand washing station.
- ability to incorporate a course of fire with barricades and obstacles (including vehicles).
- fun shooting events.
- Interactive force-on-force events with role playing to prepare participants for real life, interactive scenarios.
- introductory, basic skills, advanced skills, dynamic, low-light, no-light, and night vision courses.
- capacity to run pistols, rifles, shotguns, and all three (3 gun).
