ASC is underway on a project to build a modular 15,000 square foot Live-Fire Ballistic Shoot House. This is designed to support four 40’x60’ individual training areas, creating unique and separate floor plans to maximize training opportunities. Our current plans call for a residential, office, commercial, and wide open floor plan. An overhead catwalk will provide instructors with a birds eye view of all training activities. This is a multi-year project with expected completion in 2024 or 2025.

ASC is building an elevated shooting platform on our 600 yard range. Below is a mockup on what the end result will look like.
