Just an FYI to all you about the new Boondocks Firearms Training Academy that is opening up in April in Raymond MS. This is going to be a top notch training academy like Gunsite and Front Sight. I will be a lead instructor out there and they will offer Basic Handgun classes and intermediate and advanced defensive pistol, force on force and sim training, carbine and shotgun training. This a ground up build on 320 acres to include a coverage range, new classroom, and pro shop.

The prices on the classes will be a little more than your run of the mill training course that is offered in the pasture of someone's back pasture.. The prices will run from $175 for a 1 day course to $600 for a 3 day course. But there isn't another training facility like this that I know of in all of the South East US. Similar classes at Gunsite and Front sight would cost you over $1000.00

Yall check it out and let me know if you have any questions..

They are using the NRA Basic Pistol curriculum for the Enhanced carry course and as a prerequisite to the Defensive Pistol course. They will be using a version of our legal section for their enhanced carry class and based on conversations with the rangemaster/training coordinator I believe anyone that has completed one of my classes would be able to go directly into the Defensive Pistol 1 course. This is a 2 day 400 round course. It should be a blast!!! I will be getting up to speed on the DP 1 course next month.

Just curious, is a fella named Robert Bailey involved with this in any way?

The guy that owns Saltdog llc is also looking at opening up a 1500 yd range in rankin co.

That should be pretty cool for the folks interested in long range or distance training.

quick question...
the address listed on the site shows up as the hwy 18 and midway road intersection.
i know that there are 2 plots of land in that area of that size but one i am pretty sure is not the spot and a second of about 300 + acres.
so where Exactly is this place going to be ?
Because if its where i think it is it will be awesome as long as they dont fire south thru the woods...... cause my house is the next property :)
very interested to see , i know my "NEW " neighbors back there shoot most every weekend.

This place is about 1/2 - 3/4 mile from the Midway/hwy 18 intersection back toward Raymond. Before you get to the powerline crossing.

Got in a little group therapy this weekend while getting up to speed on the Defensive Pistol 1 Curriculum.. 2 days and 500 rounds of pure fun!!! No matter how much you know about firearms and shooting there is always more to learn. This Training Academy is going to be awesome with pneumatic computer controlled targets and all the works.. This is my bad guy target from day 2. Safe to say he had a pretty bad day with about 200 round to the chest!!!!
