State of the art indoor shooting range

Brand New Facility January 2021

Rising from the ashes of the 2018 fire, all new ownership has worked together with industry leading experts from custom range equipment, architecture and design to world class facility ideal for anyone from the novice first timer to dedicated competition shooters.

Standard Public Range Bay

We offer a fully public standard range bay featuring 7 lanes with a 25 yard max range. All lanes feature brand new custom built Action Target runners, touch screen controls and an ample supply of target options. Rent by 30 minute increments or join the family with a membership as low at $29/mo.

+VIP Tactical Bay

Our team designed a fully separated 3 lane tactical shooting bay. Extra wide lanes with reinforced and core filled block walls built to accommodate competition shoots, group events and higher level personal and team tactical training. This bay allows down range, draw to shoot practice. A design experience exclusive in the area. Access for group event rental or personally with 1 of 3 options of exclusive +VIP Membership packages.

Also available for private training group, individual classes or private, discreet sales or custom firearm consultation.

Giving Back

In the fall of 2020, our co-founder Erik Mossberg was faced with a life changing event of lower leg amputation. A difficult decision driven due to increasingly painful and life threatening side effects of injuries suffered serving our country. While building this business and attending to his young family this event threw Erik's world upside down. With mounting unexpected bills adding to life's stresses many friends, family and organizations stepped up to help. None like Hometown Hero Outdoors. We at Best Defense have been passionate about their cause since day 1 and supported them in every way a young business can. To see them step up for one of our very own, we knew we had to give back. A PORTION OF ALL REVENUE from the use and rental of our +VIP Clubroom in 2021 will go back to Hometown Hero Outdoors. Click below to find out more about this incredible organization.
