September Open Range Practice
2023-09-17 09:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago)
F5 Open Range Practice Days are just that - Open practice days in a controlled environment.

We will have USPSA/PCSL style stages set up in our bays you can practice on plus we have 30+ targets on long range between 50-450yards you can shoot off any number of shooting props here at the facility. There is no instruction as part of this range day, its just range access to a training center that is all set up for you to shoot. Our staff does all set up, provides range officers to make sure things are safe and we do all tear down and clean up so you can simply come practice and go home when you are done. While you are here you will be able to rotate through both shooting bays and long range to practice. Bring as many guns as you want to shoot while you are here.

F5 is a private range - You will get the address for our facility after you are approved to attend. We are in Pine City MN 55063.

Due to the significant amount of cancellations in the past at the last minute we are no longer doing refunds after registration. Its simply not fair to the range and other shooters for people to register and hold one of the limited slots only to cancel at the last minute and we cant fill that slot with short notice.

REGISTRATION MUST BE DONE VIA PRACTISCORE:

Competition 2 Gun Training
2023-10-14 08:00 - 16:30
Practical 2 Gun is going to be a terrific TRAINING event for anyone who wants to become more proficient with their AR (or similar carbine) and pistol. This is not a match...

We will shoot rifles from 1 yard to 450 yards, shoot pistols from 1 yard to 50 yards and push hard on speed, accuracy, movement, position building and gun transitions. You can train with full kit, competition gear or anywhere in between. We want you to get the most out of this training so plan to run the gear you want to get more proficient with.

We will have 3 segments of training with 3 instructors at this event.
Pistol heavy bay
Rifle heavy long range area
2 gun training area where both will be used equally
All attendees will work through all 3 areas throughout the course of the day
approximate round count - 300 rifle (100 long range) and 300 pistol - bring 500 of each just in case.
If you need ammo we have it available for sale. Just send a message after registering and we will get you squared away
Lunch is provided with your registration
Lodging is available onsite at our guest lodge on Friday night - lodging includes a private room with private bathroom and dinner

We are looking forward to training with you in October

This event is being announced with 1 month lead time before training. Once registered there are no cancellations/refunds. We have seen too many cancellations and refund requests the last week before training and with only 18 slots available that's not fair to those on waitlists or to the range with not enough time to fill these slots.

We keep these groups relatively small so you can get lots of practice in while you are here.

OPEN ENROLLMENT – SHOOT/MOVE/COMMUNICATE COURSE

This one-day intensive course helps civilians with fundamental proficiency in handguns and rifles take their tactical skills to the next level. Whether your goal is to protect yourself, your family, or your home from armed aggression, this training equips you with the tools to do so effectively.

The day is split into two focused sessions: the first half centers on rifles (AR/AK platforms), while the second half shifts to handguns. Along the way, you’ll practice essential techniques that build confidence and competence in dynamic scenarios.

This course welcomes law-abiding citizens without felony records. We conduct mandatory background checks, and refunds will not be issued to those with felony convictions.

Tactical gear, often called "kit," is optional but encouraged for those who want to train with their own setup. During the course, we will discuss gear selection and inspect your setup to ensure proper configuration.

Leading the instruction is Jake May, a seasoned professional with over 30 years in law enforcement and 25 years of experience on tactical teams across local, state, and federal levels. With more than 5,000 high-risk operations under his belt, May has spent his career refining the skills needed to succeed in the most challenging tactical situations.
