Private 1000-Yard Range Opening May 19

This is to let all avid long-range shooters know there is a new 1000-yard range opening on May 19 in Lake City (Missaukee County), Michigan. It is called the Marksmanship Training Center (MTC), and its website is www.MarksmanshipTrainingCenter.com. Memberships are available, and details are on the website. They also have a Facebook page.

The rifle/handgun ranges include a 25-yard outdoor range with 20 stations for recreation, training, and competition. Coming soon will be 50- and 100-yard ranges. The 1000-yard range has 10 stations, and is a 1000-yard KD and 300-1000+ UKD range. Recreational shooting is membership based and is unsupervised. Events and instructional programs are open to the public which will have range safety officer supervision.

Terrain at the range is rugged and may be difficult for people with disabilities. Competitive events at MTC will be traditional, tactical and customized.

 

If you are a person who likes to shoot long distances, this is the only 1000-yard range in the Lower Peninsula open to the public for certain events! If you have questions, please contact MTC at info@MarksmanshipTrainingCenter.com.
