Tactical Range

HHA's Tactical Range is a specialized shooting facility designed to support practical firearms training and organized shooting activities.



Unlike traditional stationary-target ranges, the Tactical Range provides an environment for structured training involving approved rifles, handguns, and shotguns. The facility supports the development of safe firearm handling, practical marksmanship, and skills used in authorized training exercises.


Facility Features

The Tactical Range accommodates paper targets and approved steel targets, along with designated barricade and doorway structures for applicable training activities.

These features allow for a broader range of organized exercises than conventional benchrest shooting facilities.


Facility Highlights

  • Specialized practical shooting facility
  • Approved rifle, handgun, and shotgun activities
  • Paper and authorized steel-target shooting
  • Barricade and doorway training features
  • Support for structured training and organized activities


Access & Authorization

Due to the specialized nature of this facility, access requires additional authorization. Members must demonstrate safe firearm handling and familiarity with range-specific operations before receiving approval to use the range.


Use is subject to applicable club regulations, approved activities, and facility-specific restrictions.


Members interested in using the Tactical Range should contact the club for current authorization requirements and additional information.

GENERAL RANGE REQUIREMENTS

  • Individual member qualification is required before use/access to the tactical range is allowed. Members qualified to use the tactical range are not allowed to have guests shoot. 
  • This is a Cold range, meaning no loaded firearms are allowed until the shooter is at the firing line ready to engage targets. Empty Chamber Indicators (ECI) are required at all times, ECI's will be removed just prior to loading and firing firearms.
  • Shooters are required to keep all firearm muzzles pointed in a down direction when loaded. 
  • Members can practice transitioning between firearms to engage targets. Rifles that are slung will NOT be loaded. Staged rifles can be loaded.
  • Multiple steel targets are provided and set up on range. Members are allowed to bring cardboard IPSC type targets and use target stands at range. Target placement is a critical aspect of the tactical range and will be one topic covered during qualification. But, generally speaking targets will be placed downrange at berm/backstop.
