Located off Balls Ford Road in Manassas, the brand new 65,000 square foot facility represents an investment of $14 million. It is expected to bring 50 new jobs to Prince William County and become a popular venue destination for sports enthusiasts, law enforcement agencies, businesses and tourists, alike.
“We’re extremely proud of our facility and delighted to open our doors for customers to enjoy,” Greg Wodack, Managing Partner of Elite Shooting Sports LLC, said. “Today was made possible by the monumental efforts and coordination of hundreds of people, which is thanks to the strong business community and pro-business environment that can be found in Prince William County.”
Built from the ground up, Elite Shooting Sports LLC provides clients 100 percent sealed substructures for proper air balancing, engineered safety features and the most advanced range equipment available.
The facility houses four separate ranges that operate independently: two 25-yard, 12 lane ranges; one 50-yard, 10 lane range; and one 100-yard, 8 lane range. Each lane is 4-foot on center and expanded to 5-foot on center on the 100-yard lanes, providing optimal space for instructor and shooter.
The open-space environment is climate adjusted to 71 degrees year round and also includes a full-time gunsmith on staff, five classrooms, two customer lounges, dojo, café and a 5,000-square foot space for additional retail.
