The Ben Franklin Range in Armstrong County, PA, is a 1,100-acre full-spectrum training facility featuring 24/7 flat ranges, ELR steel targets at distances of up to 2,500 yards, and a CQB shoot house designed for serious long-range and tactical shooters.
Ben Franklin Range is a purpose-built, all-access shooting complex located in Templeton, Pennsylvania. Spanning 1,100 rugged acres, it offers a broad spectrum of environments tailored for shooters who train hard and shoot long. From turf-lined 100-yard bays to ELR stages reaching out to 2,500 yards, the range supports everything from PRS-style precision to force-on-force CQB scenarios.
