Max Velocity Tactical has a 100 acre training site in West Virginia. The site is in the Blue Ridge Mountains in WV, across the State Line from Winchester VA. It is not far from Romney WV. Those attending classes will get site maps and joining instructions. 

The site has excellent terrain for tactical drills and movement and offers natural live firing areas, in particular 'Ricochet Ridge' field firing area. The live firing areas have been enhanced with the addition of electronic 'pop-up' targetry for greater tactical realism.

Training is tailored to your requirements. You will be listened to and your standard assessed, allowing us to offer thoughts and tailored training packages to best suit your progression. 'Crawl, Walk, Run' progression will be applied as necessary. Training is not about humiliating the trainee, but building them up and progressing. You don't need to be 'high speed' to show up for training; it is designed to take people with varying level of experience and bring them up to a higher tactical standard. Rest and revision will be built in as appropriate. 

Max Velocity Tactical is not about offering simple square range shooting, although the basics will be covered as required, moving onto combat shooting and use of fire positions. You will come and train with us to garner the benefits of tactical movement and field firing. You will be trained in real tactics that have been proven in combat.
