We are now offering the same great experience, but will travel to you!

VST 2.0 is here!
The World is not getting any less dangerous, in fact it is only getting more so! No one who has experienced a deadly-force encounter ever said, "I wish I had less training or practice." The time to get the training is before you ever need to put it to use. Since we never know when that day might be, don't wait, schedule your training today!

Our Philosophy
STG seeks to provide range simulation and training services that are customized for each client’s need, experience, and budget. We believe that practice and training should be available to all and that our services can help fill this need. We have something to offer for everyone and every skill level, and if there is something specific that you would like, but don’t see offered, ask and we will do our best to create it for you.

Why choose the STG Virtual Shooting Range?
Some of the benefits of this type of practice are significant cost savings since there are no bullets fired, safety for new shooters to gain familiarity with firearms, and the ability to safely conduct training which is traditionally considered too dangerous for live-fire ranges.

Customer reviews

“Absolutely great experience. This is great for any and everyone. They have a kids corner where your children can sit along the side and play and color while adults have fun OR you can easily include the children in the activities. There is a combination of real guns (NO ammunition) and aerosol (Green gas, CO2) guns with lasers “bullets” where anyone from advanced to beginner can optimize their firearm form and technique without the cost of live ammunition. Also, the sound can be adjusted for anyone suffering PTSD or conditions that limit visits to live ranges. This was fun and very well put together. I would recommend this to any and everyone. Great” - TJ“So much fun. Matt is friendly and informative.” - Nikki P.“Really great place to learn and practice the fundamentals of shooting without spending insane amounts of money on ammo. Matt, the owner, is very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Great times will be had by all!” - Kevin BC."This was fun and informative. It gives a nice experience to someone who may be a little intimidated or a fun experience for someone who is experienced and can get their true accuracy on things." - Amy K.“I have been to at least two of their events. Very informative and enjoyable. The owner shares his knowledge in a way that even the least experienced individual can relate to. I give this business my highest rating.” - Deb B.“I attended a private party after attending a full class somewhere else. I not only got a great refresher but also learned more! It was nice to go at our pace and Matt was willing to answer any question I had. We had a lot of fun while going over skills which made it easier to learn. For instance I learned I’m better left handed which never would have been discovered if using live expensive rounds. Gave me a chance to try it in a controlled but yet realistic atmosphere while being guided on proper control. I definitely plan to attend again!” - Karen N."This is a great time with a great instructor. We were out of town and tried something new this was one of the best new experiences we've ever experienced. We definitely do it again before back in the area."- ChristineHad a great experience target shooting. Made the whole experience fun but also showed us the safety of holding, and shooting. Five stars." - Amber D.

Active killer events cannot merely focus on a single party (victims, responders, perpetrators) and be considered “complete.” We believe that all aspects need to be reviewed and understood for the greatest impact and best outcome possible.Our training for active killer goes over the events and actions from the perspective of all the parties involved, this way there can be a higher level of understanding how the situation will likely unfold.
We offer training for responders (Police & Security), as well as drills and training for organizations (Churches, Businesses, Schools). These are offered as classes, live on-site drills, or a combination of both.
