Max Velocity Tactical has traditionally offered large group instruction in small unit tactics, and has done so for the 13 years we have been in operation. As part of that instruction we have also been very good at teaching the basics of rifle and handgun skills – because you have to get your gun back […]

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) is something anyone who wishes to be prepared and able to operate as a valuable team member in a tactical environment must have, and there is no better place to get it than at MVT.
