Start Training With Mark

While we teach all over the west coast and Almost all over the USA we do have a home range located just outside of Woodland CA.

The Conformation Range

We have backers at 50-100 yards to confirm zeros and gather data. We also have steel targets of various size out to 300 yards.

The Field Range

This range simulates field like conditions. You can shoot perched high atop a hill into a valley or from the valley floor at targets on top of the hills. This range has targets out from 250 yards to 1050 yards. Targets will primarily be 2-3 MOA in size and the majority of targets on this range are animal silhouettes.

The ELR
(Extended Long Range)

Sat atop the highest hill on the property this is our flagship range. Targets at this firing line are all 2 MOA or smaller. This range is designed to push your abilities as a shooter. There are no “give me” targets on this range. We designed this range specifically to make you analyze the terrain, read the wind, and make a precise and accurate shot. Targets start at 300 yards and are placed out to 1750 yards currently.

Sorry this range is not open to the general public at anytime. Please do not contact us to see if you can use the range on your own. This range is exclusively for WCLR and our events. We would love to have you out so please book a spot in one of our classes, a lesson, or come to one of our matches that will be held at the range.
