Live Fire Demo - 60mm mortar

Post by Invictus »

I'm looking for a privately owned range that would have an impact area capable of testing 60mm (HE) mortar rounds. This would be a product demonstration. The locales I'm looking for are the following:

Fort Bragg
Quantico, VA
Tampa, FL

I am trying to stay off post if possible. If you know of any places near this locations, please respond here or shoot me a PM.

Thanks

Good luck finding something off post. At a minimum, I would start talking to local sheriff departments to see if they have demo ranges in the area.

There are actually several different options for conducting this off post around Benning, including the company I work for. It's the other locations I'm less familiar with. Tiger Swan has already said they can only do inert. Avon Park has been recommended for FL, which I'll look into. I have no knowledge of ranges in/around Quantico.

I can just about promise there is nothing in the Tampa area. You would have to hit Lakeland at a minimum. Even then... I know that Legion Near Benning has a demo range hit up CSM Noland but again, way out of the area for you. I had a buddy that was trying to put together a mil/Leo training range in Polk co area but he had problems with permitting and everything else. I will call around the Tampa area and see if I can turn anything up.
