Gulf Coast Training Center

THE FACILITY

Ridgeline Gulf Coast Training Center operates one of the largest and most comprehensive shooting facilities in the Southeast—a secluded 239-acre range complex designed for serious shooting disciplines. Members have access to multiple range configurations including four 50-yard 270-degree bays, three 25-yard 270-degree bays, and three 100-yard zero bays.

For precision and long-range shooters, the facility maintains seven “known distance” ranges spanning 450-830 yards and one “unknown distance” range extending to 1,100 yards—providing the real-world environments competitive shooters and hunters need to develop their craft.

PROFESSIONAL-GRADE EQUIPMENT & SUPPORT

GCTC maintains over 300 steel targets throughout the complex, along with advanced moving target systems that bring dynamic realism to training scenarios. The facility features varied terrain including rock formations, elevated positions, barricades, and natural obstacles—creating the kind of challenging shooting environments that separate good shooters from great ones.

Members benefit from our professional full-time staff and experienced instructors who maintain the facility to the highest standards. Our on-site pro shop, powered by Altus Shooting Solutions, provides members with access to precision rifle components, ammunition, and gear from industry-leading manufacturers.

TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

Beyond range access, members have opportunities to participate in multiple training courses and events throughout the year—from precision rifle fundamentals to advanced long-range shooting techniques. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills or push your capabilities to the next level, GCTC provides the instruction and facilities to get you there.
