THE RANGE

Our range is designed for the unique demands of tactical firearms training. We have fifteen yards of shooting distance, width for nine students, the ability to simulate different lighting conditions, a rubber backstop and custom tactical target hangers making it safe to shoot up-close, and a state-of-the-art HEPA air filtration system.

Our shooting range offers exclusive shooting opportunities under the guidance of qualified instructors, available in both private and group settings. For safety and training purposes, shooting independently is not permitted.

WHAT IS A TACTICAL RANGE?

A tactical range is designed to allow for safe shooting at any distance along the designated firing direction and the freedom to place targets anywhere along the backstop. There are no fixed shooting lanes or target retrieval systems found in a typical range. This style of range is suited for tactical training - handguns in holsters and long guns with slings.

For introductory and beginner classes, a temporary surface is set up to give students a space to safely place a firearm down. For intermediate and advanced classes, holster draw certification is required. Students create their own firing line depending on the scenario.

THE DIFFERENCE

ITTA’s main focus is safety and education. Your time with us is geared toward learning and perfecting your shooting techniques. Membership at a typical shooting range only allows you to shoot from a designated firing line, within your stall, at a single static target without guidance.  Without an instructor, this kind of practice develops incorrect shooting habits and does not allow you to understand why you may be shooting inaccurately or missing your target. When you train with us, you will be led by a qualified instructor, guided through meaningful exercises and tactics, all while understanding the foundations of proper shooting. You can then advance to higher level techniques involving holster draw, shooting while moving, and so on.

Instructor led training also provides a high degree of control over gun type, caliber, and technique; which allows us to enforce the level of safety required in our range. All shooting done at ITTA is instructor led and class based. You cannot shoot alone at our facility. Unlike other ranges, ITTA provides ammunition for our classes along with firearms in the event you do not have the appropriate one already.

BACKSTOP

Our backstop contains over twenty-thousand pounds of rubber granules which creates a four to five foot thick bullet trap.  The rubber encapsulates the fired rounds keeping the bullets intact so there is no lead exposure.  With a rubber berm, you can shoot right at the 1-yard line without the danger of ricochet. During maintenance, we sift the rubber to separate the lead for recycling making our backstop friendly to the environment.

HEPA AIR SYSTEM

Health and safety for our clients is our number one priority at ITTA and it starts with our air system. Designed to circulate air cleaner than the fresh air outside, a 3-stage HEPA filter grabs all harmful particulates and recirculates 70% of the scrubbed air back into the system. The 30% exhausted air is also run through the HEPA filters to eliminate environmental lead pollution.  The massive air volume of the system creates a low speed wind tunnel within the range.  The entire air space of the range is circulated every 60 seconds.  All the gasses are constantly pulled away from the firing line allowing you to breathe clean air from any position within the range.
