Don B here - updating this website has been slow because this first year after Stephen's death has been VERY difficult.
.
No parent should endure or witness their child's suicide. I suffered both, along with my wife (his mother).
Neither of us will ever be the same or as happy as we were with Him living here knowing he would continue our work.
Cherish your loved ones, get involved if their suffering, recognized those abusing them, and act to fight them off.
I failed to act soon enough to save him, but I won't fail to spread the truth about those abusers.
As his sister said the day after his death - "They F*****d with the wrong Family"
Watch for Stephen's records (his facts from his hands) coming soon.

CURRENT NEWS - 12/20/24.
REMEMBER - NO Armor Piercing Ammo is allowed anywhere on the Property. NO green tip, NO tungsten core, NO steel pin, etc. etc. etc.
If your caught breaking this rule your guns will be impounded and you will pay in full for all damages before your guns are returned.
The WHITE berm in the West Valley is NOT a backstop. It's a Safety Wall to BLOCK the OLD Driveway and BLOCK the OLD 300 yard lane.
DO NOT fire at that WHITE berm in the West Valley, or you will be removed from the Property and BANNED - PERMANENTLY!!!
..
Long Distance Range (LDR) is 99% complete & operational at 300, 400, and 500 yards.
The road is constructed to 500 yards, more gravel is needed. The last hundred yards can be muddy. All three Berms (300,400,500) are complete.
The 500 & 300 yard Swinging Steel Plates are installed (400 yard plate is still leaning on the berm). The shooting bench has 1 seated & 2 prone positions.
A structure is installed over the bench. The dual safety flag system is installed. Contact us to schedule your LDR qualification test.
.
22 Precision Range (22PR) is a specialized competition and practice area cleared and built across the LDR. That is the reason for the two flag system.
It has ten competition lanes plus a sight-in area. 22PR participants shoot swinging metal targets from 30 to 200 yards that range from 1/4 inch to 8 inch.
They also shoot from challenging positions over or through a variety of obstacles (ladders, drain pipes, tank traps, roof tops, tires, blocks ,chairs, etc.)
22 Long Rifle Rimfire is the ONLY ammo allowed on this specialized facility. A Monthly Match is held every 4th Saturday with signup starting at 8:30 am.
The Match is open to members & non-members of nearly any age (the youngest shooter was 5, pulling the trigger for Dad). The Match entry fee is $20.
To use the 22PR between Matches you must be a ProTEQ Platinum Member. WHY have a two flag System requiring both flags be RAISED before shooting?
The Long Range Shooter(s) MUST drive down onto the Long Range to prepare their targets plus check to insure NO ONE is on the 22PR, plus...
The Rimfire Shooters must stop by the LDR Bench to insure no shooters are there or will setup there. The shooter must raise the flag at both locations.
Fail to follow the flag rules and you will be Escorted OFF the Property!!!

It allows Pistol, Rifle, and Shotgun capability within it's enclosure, offering steel and/or paper targets.
7 - AR-500 targets plates are permanently installed in the MPR. Barricades and other assets are stored inside the area at it's Southeast corner.
The MPR offers wide flexibility in setup and training, but REQUIRES you put away, and clean up EVERY VISIT. Failing that rule terminates your membership!!!
We have installed a gate and covered the MPR floor with rock. Leave your vehicle OUTSIDE the MPR. .
