How to Choose Between a Target Range and a Tactical Range
Start by defining your training objectives.

Target Range:
If your goal is to perfect precision, improve your accuracy, or get comfortable with a new firearm, a target range is the right choice. Mission94 offers a state-of-the-art indoor training area that provides a controlled and safe environment to practice your shooting skills. Whether you’re focusing on stationary or moving targets, our range offers various setups designed to hone your marksmanship. Our expert instructors can also guide you through drills that improve control and accuracy. At Mission94, our focus on safety and range maintenance ensures a top-tier training environment.

Tactical Range:
If you’re looking for real-world training scenarios that go beyond static target practice, our tactical range at Mission94 is designed to immerse you in dynamic drills. This simulates real-life situations where you can practice rapid decision-making, situational awareness, and response time. Whether you’re practicing movement, using cover, or engaging in defensive drills, our tactical training is built to challenge and refine your ability to perform under pressure. At Mission94, we don’t just focus on shooting accuracy but on providing real-world application and self-defense techniques with expert instruction.

  • Follow all safety guidelines and commands from our experienced range officers.
