About Peacemaker National Training Center
Peacemaker National Training Center is an outdoor shooting range and competition complex that reviewers describe as scenic and made up of several separate ranges. It sits in Gerrardstown, WV, and one reviewer advises first-time visitors to ask for a tour of all the ranges, since the property is larger than many people realise. Reviewers describe competitors driving two hours or more to shoot here, and one reviewer says they and many others travel from 400 miles away for the monthly 2-gun match.
One reviewer describes a public range called Independence with targets from 25 yards to 300 yards and concrete shooting benches, paper out to 100 yards and steel from 200 to 300, including a pistol range. According to the same reviewer, membership adds the Liberty bays, the Starlight range with steel out to 500 yards and the Homeplace range for trap and skeet, and the property also has a dedicated .22LR range and Frontier, a 1000 yard range with steel targets at various distances. Another reviewer lists static rifle and pistol ranges, deep bays with berms on three sides and a long-distance range running from 300 to 1000 yards and beyond.
Competition is a recurring theme in the reviews. Several reviewers shoot the monthly 2-gun match, with reviewers reporting rifle targets out to about 400 or 500 yards, and others mention USPSA, PRS, night vision matches and a pistol caliber super steel shoot. One reviewer describes the .22LR range as a dedicated space for training and practice, and another says they wish the .22 matches would return. Some reviewers say the schedule of matches has been uneven over the years.
Instruction is part of the picture as well. One reviewer completed a level 1 long range shooting course, and another took a Carbine 1 course. For rifle and pistol shooting, trap and skeet, long range work and classes in Gerrardstown, West Virginia, Peacemaker combines a public range, membership ranges and a competition calendar on a single property.

Very friendly and helpful people at this range. It's a great experience every visit. Don't hesitate to join. Also they have a discount for veterans.
Inter-con (californian company) bought them and apperantly cant maintain the roads nearly tore apart the bottom of a vehicle going up to indipendence range. review may improve if the roads do. (roads fixed, review adjusted to match its pretty good
Went to the Liberty base for the first time. Everyone was polite, friendly and supportive. It was my first time at an outdoor range, and I'm a left handed shooter and there was an amazing man named Dave, he told me to call him "Dirty" He was an expert left handed shooter and he taught me and gave me some amazing tips and I tried them right away and hit the bulls eye on the targets we bought. He was super accommodating, made sure I was safe and having a great time. Can't recommend this place more.
Excellent facility, ranges are wonderfully set up for literally anything you could wish to do. Be it from zeroing a rifle, dynamic shooting or doing some competition training, this is a great place for it. For those people in Northern VA, yes, this is unfortunately the closest place where you can do the shooting you wish you could do outside of having a friend with a huge property.
I have been going to PNTC for the last few years to do 2-gun and steel matches and it’s always been an amazing time! One of the few ranges with longer ranges for 2-gun, and lots of variety!
From a guy who hates shooting ranges, this place is awesome. I don’t need to be specific, they got what you need and the safety officers are cool.
I have been going to Peacemaker for over three months and a member now for two months. The staff and the members are all amazing people. I just completed the level 1 long range shooting course over the weekend and with the help of David and Ward I was able to engage my first 1000+ yard target and score multiple hits. Cameron in the main office had organized amazing events and will help you discover the potential of this incredible range. If you are looking for a range that has everything, you will find it here at Peacemaker. Skeet and trap, long range shooting, pistol and rifle steel target ranges, private shooting bays. The public range “independence” has targets from 25 yards to 300 yards with concrete shooting benches. 25-100 is paper targets and the 200 to 300 are steel. This includes a pistol range. Membership gets you access to the liberty bays, Starlight range- steel out to 500 yards, Homeplace range for trap and skeet. They have two small range with targets set in the woods, haven’t tried but really looking forward to it, a dedicated .22lr range with steel, and Frontier the 1000 yard range with steel targets at various distances and locations in between. I have been around a lot of ranges across the country and Peacemaker is definitely my favorite. My wife and I felt at home with the staff and members. Everyone is friendly, respectful, and safe. That is why I purchased a membership on my second trip. The range is about an hour away from me but it is definitely worth the drive to be able to shoot in such a beautiful and serene place. If you are thinking of making a trip out I promise you won’t be disappointed!!! You have nothing to lose but the regret of wasted time before you gave Peacemaker a try.
I hate giving this place a bad review. They need to get organized and keep the calendar events posted and up to date. They used to do a lot more competitions.
I recently shot a two gun match that was wonderful. Great use of steel to keep reset easy. One of the only two gun match where I have had engagement to about 400 yards after a jungle run. Everything about the match ran smoothly and everyone was very friendly. I definitely plan on shooting more of the matches in the series.
My first time at the Peacemaker Range was an excellent experience. The lady at the front desk was super friendly and made us feel welcome. The gentleman that explained us the rules at Site #2, was respectful and made sure we knew the most important rules even if we already did. Thank you all.
