Amazing training for short and long range targets. Learn ballistics, MOA and Mils and proper gun safety

Just completed the LE SWAT Advanced Sniper course. Outstanding, well organized, excellent lecture material, and an amazing range facility to support all class objectives. One of the best courses in class I've attended, in over 20 years. The plan and course of instruction was well thought out, and organized to empower the student population, to achieve all course requirements. Extremely, demanding and difficult with challenges throughout the course. Highly recommend, the lodging was also top notch and was provided as part of the course tuition. Money well spent and an excellent value read more

Taking the mountain precision course at Max Ordinate Academy has been one of my best shooting experiences. This training facility is second to none! We practiced and critiqued building many alternate supported positions while engaging targets at long distances in windy conditions from morning til sundown. My brain is still processing everything we learned. The small class size and Tyler's and instruction made for a fantastic learning environment. I'm definitely looking forward to going back. read more

I took the second class in the precision rifle series this past weekend. My brain is still downloading and processing the brilliant and valuable training I was taught at the Max Ordinate Class located at their Apple Valley Facility. What an experience!! The training at this school is second to none and I can't wait to practice all of the skills I have learned. I'm really looking forward to my next class with Tyler and Paul at the school. The range itself is just something you have to experience as a precision shooter. Its like going to the raddest shooting gallery of all time. read more

Best experience. Legitimate place Tyler is a great teacher and I will be going back for follow up classes.

I recently took the Gunfighter Evolution class with Max Ordinate Academy (MOA) and was very glad I did so. The class was very progressive in the techniques they teach. The principles taught are very applicable to a gunfighter and make sense. The fact that these principles make sense are big factors in how I understand things. I can never grasp a concept until I know the "why I should do it that way" and Ryan/Tyler were very willing to help me understand. I gained a massive amount of knowledge from this class that will change the way I shoot from this point forward. One of the things I really liked about the class is the knowledgeable staff. ALL of the staff is VERY willing to answer questions at any time, explain techniques, and be there for any thing one might need in this training. The range was a bit far from home. Which means it was a good place to train. Nothing in or near the city would allow for such training. The terrain and placement of cover lent itself well to the training and was a beautiful spot of California to deal with. I highly recommend this company and their staff. In fact I can not wait until I can return for another class, and I know I am not alone in this feeling as there were students in my class that were return students. People paying the hard earned to come back and train with the same company says a lot about the quality MOA represents. read more

Had an amazing time at the facility. Learned so much more than I thought I knew. Highly recommend his class.

If you are considering taking a precision rifle course, take one at MOA. I cannot speak highly enough about Tyler and the staff at MOA. They are masters of their craft and the information does not vary from instructor to instructor like in other courses I have taken. They are extremely knowledgeable and detailed in the teaching/classroom time. I feel like I left with a great deal of information I had no idea about prior to taking the class. By far the best part of the class was the facility.The range it self is a shooters paradise, you will not find another range as well kept, beautiful, and especially not one that has the distances available. Any course you take at MOA is more than worth the money. I can't wait to take another class here. read more

I recently took the Gunfighter Evolution I class and it was brilliant! I am an experienced shooter and a lot of the information relayed in this class is new material. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the teachers and the level of knowledge and experience they bring to the table. Both Ryan and Tyler are very approachable and willing to answer any questions any student might have. An addition to the classes they also can do cerakote coatings which give you an almost unlimited amount of creativity when building or decorating your firearms. I highly recommend Max Ordinate Academy to everybody! read more

My business partner and I took the Sniper I class as we had recently migrated form 3-gun to long range shooting. Despite learning stuff on the interweb and from others at the range, our skills were lacking. Long range shooting is very technical relative to other weapon disciplines. Our MOA instructor Tyler, a former Marine sniper instructor, team leader, and trainer of the vast majority of SoCal Swat teams from San Diego to LA, was amazing! Not only did we have a really fun weekend, but our knowledge and skills grew exponentially. By course-end, we were consistently hitting steel at ranges of 200 yds to 1200 yds in 1-2 shots...an exponential improvement in our skills and understanding of how to make this result happen. Course topics included everything from scope theory and proper use, terminal ballistics, using ballistic calculators, judging wind, proper form, ammunition, and learning how a spotter and shooter can work as a team. The vast majority of our time was spent applying the relatively short classroom work on the gun. I've taken many training's over the years on every type of weapon, and this was by far the most comprehensive and effective training I've experienced. HIGHLY recommended. I'll be going back for the Sniper II class next, and maybe even the Helicopter Sniping course, just for fun! I'm a huge fan of this company. The results speak for themselves! read more

Just spent this last weekend with Tyler and Ryan taking their Sniper I course. They are two extremely professional and great guys and they explain everything extremely well. They had us working hard but having fun while doing it. Engaging targets up to 1000 yards away is an amazing feeling. I was able to hit a target at 800 in one shot through their instruction. I look forward to taking more classes from them and working with them on improving my hardware. Thank you MOA read more

I placed a time-sensitive order from their web store at the beginning of June. When the items hadn't arrived by the end of the month I attempted contact with the business. No live person answered the phone and the messages went unanswered. Much to my surprise, the items arrived 2 months after the order was placed. There were spiderwebs inside the packaging and it seems that the box had been sitting for awhile. I can't speak to the quality of their training but customer service / support from the store is severely lacking. **shipping confirmation was received about 7 weeks after the order was placed** read more

I took the Rifle I Tactical Training Course and was completely impressed. It was a very full 2-day course taking place on the Sewet Gun Range, a choice location where Federal gun laws apply. Ryan was the lead instructor and started us off with a ton of useful info that was made approachable by his ability to ask questions and get us talking. I figured out quickly that "basic" doesn't necessarily mean beginner: basic meant setting up the proper foundations for using your rifle effectively in combat situations. He and Tyler (#2 instructor both former infantry Marines) covered everything from choosing the right accessories for your rifle, to battle mindset to finding the best cover, all with a great balance of humor and seriousness. We were out there from 8:30-6:30 the first day and got in about 5 hours of shooting. They showed me the best stance for combat, explained why, and led me through adjusting the basic stance for kneeling and prone while coaching me on manipulating the rifle through transitions. Everyone had a good laugh watching me try to shoot weak side while lying down taking cover behind the wheel of a truck; apparently, I'm blind in my left eye and prone to strangling myself on slings. What made the experience fun was the attitude of the instructors and students. Everyone was supportive and was willing to laugh at themselves. As a civilian female who picked up shooting just 2 yrs ago, I was serious about learning while intent on having some fun. This MOA class had a vibe that just felt right. This was the most fun I ever had sweating, rolling in dirt and getting out of the office. It's probably the best deal in town. One warning: If you are not used to being around Marines, be sure you are comfortable with a certain amount of cussing and whatnot. Ryan and Tyler are the real deal. read more
