About

Our Vision:

JTAC Ranch was created with the goal of providing a facility where shooting enthusiasts and professionals can train effectively and have fun doing what they enjoy. Our goal in managing the facility is to strike a healthy balance between “having a good time” and “keeping things professional”. This is the primary drive behind our membership system vs public access. Membership gives us the opportunity to build a community in and around the range by vetting members, allowing for a more hands-off approach without compromising safety or quality. Every member can have the peace of mind knowing that the person next to them knows what they’re doing and shares their enthusiasm. Our RSOs are on hand not to be oppressive nitpickers, but to facilitate a fun and safe environment and lend help where they can.

  • JTAC is easily one of my favorite ranges in the country. The facilities are world class and built by shooters for shooters. The true difference at JTAC is the people. From the ownership, to the staff, to the members it is truly a community that understands the wants, needs, and motivations of the modern training and shooting lifestyle.

  • I just wanted to reach out and tell you a huge thank you for hosting Joe, Nick, and myself for the Winter Paradise Summit. I thought the facility was beautiful and extremely well maintained. I travel quite a bit and see a lot of ranges around the country, and yours was beautiful! Hope we can stay in contact and eventually make my way back down there for some training! If you need anything, or if there is anything I can ever help you with please let me know. Thanks again!

  • I appreciate the hospitality. The range was fantastic. You guys provided everything I needed to successfully put on a great class. Loved the length of the range and how steel was staged in multiple places to challenge students during the night vision class. Thank you again and I look forward to coming out in 2023.

  • You guys have an excellent facility that is obviously well maintained by men that “get it”. I could tell when I walked onto the property that you guys were shooters, because only shooters think of the things like what I saw. Real world barricades, steel-a-plenty, solid target stands, clean sticks, a range that is freestyle in nature and not just by the book of old days. The facility you guys have created is ripe for learning and innovation so long as the instructor has the imagination. I loved it. I’d be happy to come back. Thanks again.

Facility:

Located in Nichols, Florida just south of Highway 60, our facility provides a broad range of opportunities for tactical and precision shooters to train and hone their skills.

Our 2000-yard precision range is the longest in the state, featuring known and unknown distance targets, elevated shooting positions and opportunities for unconventional firing positions. This setup is complemented by our 500-yard range which enables rifle zeroing and training for most hunting applications. Proceeding from long range to medium range, we have two twin 100-yard by 45-yard square bays for both static and movement-based carbine and rifle training. These bays will support a plethora of movement drills, including barrier and vehicle work.  All our ranges will feature covered and uncovered shooting positions to suit various types of training. Our non-range facilities include an obstacle course, gym building and plenty of shade trees to stay out of the heat.
