About Our Indoor Range


Frontier_Firearms_Range_1.jpg

Frontier Firearms is the only range in East Tennessee to offer ATS - Active Target Shooting©.  With the push of a button you send your target running, rushing, and turning forcing you to make split second decisions - shoot or don't shoot!

For more information on our range visit our new website:  www.FrontierFirearms.US

Two Complete Indoor Ranges:  Our indoor shooting facility is divided in to two separate shooting ranges, each 25-yards long. Both bays have five spacious shooting bays - four 48" wide shooting positions and one 5ft for handicap or instruction. Each range is fully equipped with the Mancom Touch Plus™ Target Systems - fully automated, computer controlled, 360 degree turning targets. This system offers a unique "shoot / don't shoot" training environment that cannot be duplicated with non-turning, slow moving targets creeping back and forth on strings or cables.

What do the FBI Training Academy, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Frontier Firearms Family Shooting Center have in common?  They all have the Touch Plus™ ATS - Active Target Shooting system.

What do other premier the 5 Star Rated shooting ranges like the Scottsdale Gun Club share in common with Frontier Firearms - a commitment to excellence and the
Touch Plus™ ATS - Active Target Shooting system.

Why did these premier shooting ranges and world class firearms training centers choose
Touch Plus™ ATS - Active Target Shooting system by Mancom?  Because the Mancom system is the most reliable and innovative live-firearms training solution in the world making them the preferred vendor to numerous law enforcement agencies and private ranges across North America, Europe and Asia including the FBI and RCMP.

At Frontier each of of our shooting lanes has sound dampening technology to reduce dB levels, a user-friendly touch screen control panel, a target system that rotates 360º for enhanced practice scenarios, programmable target movement, and numerous pre-programmed regimens with random travel and random edging.

Isn't it good to know that there are still some ranges like the Scottsdale Gun Club and Frontier Firearms that go the extra mile help you develop real-world shooting skills.

That's why at Frontier we say, 
Train for the real world.© Train at Frontier Firearms.

"When you aim for perfection, you discover it's a moving target."  ~ George Fisher

The indisputable truth about target shooting:

Statistics and common sense show us that most real life confrontations with handguns occur at close distances and are over very quickly. The time available to successfully hit the adversary is determined by the actions of the adversary, not by how much time the shooter feels he or she needs to execute the shot.

Most conventional firearms instruction with handguns has focused on what is called  "Precision Shooting". In Precision Shooting, the target, the shooter, and the weapon are stabilized before the shooting cycle even begins. The shooting cycle incorporates a very controlled press motion of the trigger while the sights of the weapon remain aligned. Shooters trained in this method historically have not fared well in actual gun battles.

To train for success under real life time conditions, one must train against a high speed moving target system with programs that replicate the minimal amount of time a shooter will have to successfully neutralize an adversary. 

With the ATS - Active Target Shooting system students learn to successfully engage and hit moving targets that are only exposed for a second or two.  This type of shooting skill is called Reactive Shooting.

Unlike conventional indoor ranges, at Frontier Firearms the shooter must react to moving targets and successfully shoot it in the limited time the target is exposed. Like in a real life battle, sometimes the targets require multiple hits before going down. ATS training reinforces critical skills that cannot be developed shooting stationary targets.  

No other facility in Tennessee can compete with Frontier Firearms in offering Reactive Shooting. That is why special military and police units all over the world train on the same target system installed for you to enjoy at Frontier Firearms.


Bullet Traps

Our bullet traps use the best available technology for bullet capture and containment. Utilizing granulate rubber material to stop incoming rounds, the bullet impacts the soft media and is captured predominately intact, minimizing airborne lead dust and averting back splatter and ricochet. This provides a cleaner and safer environment for shooting ranges, and maximizes bullet recovery and recycling processes.
