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 in the north-east tip of WV that adjoins VA, MD and PA. 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 Range’. It is a basic site in the woods; for those wishing to stay overnight camping is available. We are developing basic cabin accommodation. It is the full camping post-SHTF experience! For this wishing to stay outside of the site we will provide a list of local hotels/motels, but don’t expect the Ritz!

Training is tailored to your requirements and not driven by ego. 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’ 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. 

Bring your own firearms, equipment and ammunition. Bring what ammunition you are prepared to use and we will work within those limits. Simulated training is also available using AR15/M4 replica air-soft rifles. These are designed to add realism to dry training and also aid safety with transition to live firing tactical movement training. It will also save money on ammunition. We are not running air-soft ‘games’ but will use these as a tool incorporated into training, under controlled conditions. An example would be the use of air-soft while practicing ‘break contact drills’, before moving on to live firing.

You could come and train with air-soft alone, without using live firearms and ammunition, if you so wish. We would concentrate on drills and small unit tactical movement, among other things. Ideally, once competence is achieved with the air-soft drills, you will move on to live-firing movement.

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.

Prior to attending a training course you will be required to complete a basic background check. Max Velocity Tactical does not offer training for any individuals or groups that intend to utilize such training for civil disorder or criminal activity. The focus is purely on self-defense for individuals and protection of their families and friends. Max Velocity strongly upholds and defends the Constitution and Bill of Rights and as such the rule of Constitutional Law in the United States of America.

You will also certify that you are physically fit enough to participate in the training. This will include walking over rough ground, adopting various fire positions, limited running while carrying a firearm, and similar tactically related physical activity. If you do have physical limitations, training can be designed to accommodate your needs.
