ROGERS RANGE REACTIVE SHOOTING

The Mission Critical training ranch is west of Fort Hood / Killeen TX.  It is a privately owned and operated facility which is not open to the public. There are no day shooters, range passes or range members. The address will remain undisclosed until payment for your course is received. Directions to the ranch and the gate access code will be provided prior  to your arrival.

The course begins each day at 9:00 a.m.  We will take a quick lunch break on the range around noon.  Training wraps up between 3:00 and 4:00 daily. 

Rogers Range training is not an introductory or beginners handgun course.

Proficiency with the followings items are required PRIOR to attending a Rogers course:

• Drawing from the holster
• Speed and administrative reloads
• Shooting with two hands, strong hand only and support hand only
• The ability to shoot 30+ rounds per drill, repeatedly

Note: Mastery of one handed shooting is not a prerequisite. You simply need to have the ability to do so at a basic level. We will take it from there.

The course is intended to greatly improve upon the aforementioned fundamental gunfighting skillset.  If you do not yet possess these skills but would like to train toward the goal of shooting a Rogers course, please contact us at Aim True Group to schedule preparatory training work.

Approved projectile type:

Due to the close proximity of the steel plates to the shooter, only the following ammunition types are allowed on the Rogers Range:

• TMJ (total metal jacket) e.g. Speer Lawman TMJ
• Copper plated (aka TMJ) e.g. CCI Blazer
• Frangible
• Polymer coated e.g. Federal Syntech

The following projectiles are not allowed:

• FMJ (full metal jacket)
• HP (hollow point)

The exception being MIL / LEO only courses whereby the use of duty ammo is required.

Armor piercing and incendiary rounds are NOT allowed under any circumstances.

Ammo for sale at Mission Critical / Rogers Range:

Mission Critical sells 9mm 115 grain TMJ ammunition only.  Ammo must be purchased from MC prior to your course.

Daily Round Count:

500 to 600

A high capacity semi-automatic handgun with four magazines is required.  Due to high round counts per drill, single stack magazine fed pistols and revolvers are not allowed.

A magazine capacity of 14 or more is a good baseline.

A sturdy belt with a high quality outside the waistband (OWB) kydex holster and magazine carrier(s) for two spare mags is required.  Inside the waistband (IWB) holsters are allowed - but user beware.  The slide may become too hot to touch due to high round counts.  Re-holstering may burn your skin, even while the pistol sits inside the holster.

The following holsters are NOT allowed:

• Blackhawk Serpa
• Leather holsters of any kind
• Crossdraw holsters
• Shoulder holsters
• Open front race gun style holsters / magnetic holsters

Quality, ballistic rated eye protection is required to be worn at all times.

Electronic / amplified hearing protection is required.

The closest store or restaurant is more than 30 minutes from the ranch.  Be sure and arrive every morning with your lunch, snacks and drinks on hand. You will not have time to make a round trip into town and back during the lunch break.

Do NOT wear your favorite clothes and shoes to the Rogers Range.  You are likely to get paint speckles on your clothing and shoes while you are re-painting the steel plates between drills.

Dress Code:

• Seasonally appropriate clothing (check the weather prior to class)
• Long pants with belt loops (shorts are not allowed on the range at any time)
• Shirts - no low cut tops - hot brass down the shirt is a no-go
• Baseball cap (to keep hot brass from getting behind your glasses)
• Closed toe shoes (no flip-flops or sandals)
• No vulgar images or wording on clothing will be permitted
