Who is Range Control

Weekly shooting articles.

Range Control is a fundamental approach to how we train with firearms. We incorporate the basics with an outcome based training format. We build confidence from the ground up.

I recently medically retired from the Army after 14 years. During my time I was a Sniper, Sniper Instructor and a Drill Sergeant. My time in the military has given me a very fundamental approach to training.

Once I had separated and started visiting my local ranges, I noticed two major problems: The individuals were being instructed on what to do, but not why. The other problem that I noticed was a major lack of the emphasis of the four basic marksmanship fundamentals.

As I was seeing this problem, I began to ask myself why everyone is ok with mediocre training. Why would someone deliver a product that no one understands?

I sat down with the intent of fixing these issues. The first problem that I ran across is the availability of “training videos” on the internet. The problem here was once again, no why or how to apply outside of the range.

I got together with some military buddies and we developed training courses structured around the basics, with advanced application, later that year we founded Range Control Training.

As part of our fundamental and practical application of our training, we deliver to the individual, the ability to apply military marksmanship to your everyday life.

Our training can be applied to big game hunting, home defense, understanding of your surroundings, and how to positively impact your communities’.

Our training covers: Basic marksmanship fundamentals, pistol and rifle. Advanced marksmanship fundamental, pistol and rifle. Target identification and application as a big game hunter. Home defense and use of force. Range cards and how they can improve your first round impact on your next hunt.

The key to success is built around our Ethos. Integrity, confidence and human spirit. These values are interchangeable within our model; however, you cannot have one without the other.

Integrity has a long standing place value within any business model or ethos. Integrity is the ability to, taking this straight out of the army values, do the right thing, even when no one is looking. What does that mean? That you must have the moral courage to set the standard for everyone to follow.

Confidence is the key to success. We ensure that the individual can see how confidence in their ability can change the outcome of any situation. More than self-preservation, confidence leads to other people looking to you for help in any situation.

The indomitable human spirit is the last point in our ethos. Why is it important to understand the human spirit? The human spirit is what has driven this country to success. It’s that ability to keep pushing even when the odds are stacked against you. The human spirit has ensured the survival of our way of life.

We will be publishing a series of articles that will facilitate our training methods. These short articles will cover some of the training that we offer. Be sure to like us on Facebook and Instagram. Facebook.com/Rangecontrolllc, Instagram: Range Operator.
