History of Rattlesnake Ridge

In 2000 upon retiring from the US Army Special Forces I built and ran a large outdoor range complex located on 1000 acre just South of Ft Campbell Ky near Indian Mound Tn. Trained thousands of civilians as well and Army and Airforce personnel in Rifle, Pistol, CQB, State CCW and general self-defense. This physical facility was very successful but closed due to land lease issue in 2020. We now conduct training independently of a fixed facility with smaller ranges in TN and MS.
