Training environments matter. For law enforcement and military teams, the right setup can mean the difference between readiness and vulnerability. That’s where the Mobile Modular Shoot House (MMSH) from Kontek Industries comes in. Built for flexibility, safety, and realism, it’s redefining how agencies prepare for today’s most complex threats.

Security operators require not only good training techniques but also the proper equipment to prepare for various combat scenarios. There are plenty of tools that will enhance your range training and some are more impactful than others. We’re here to highlight what you should look for when deciding on what to bring with you to the range. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, these tools can both sharpen your skills as well as your decision making.
Range barricades will enhance your tactical training exercises significantly. They provide more realistic conditions much like what you would face in a situation where you must quickly take cover and fire a weapon. The effectiveness of range barricades depends heavily on how they are utilized in training. The key to training with barricades is to acknowledge all mistakes on the range rather than in the field where the consequences are much more costly. The position of your body in conjunction with the position of your weapon and points of contact are the most important factors to look over when using a barricade.

Close Quarters Combat or Close Quarters Battle training involves the preparation of tactical teams for situations where a physical fight with firearms between multiple individuals at a particularly short range may occur. Shoot houses help enhance both the performance of tactical teams and the efficiency of their missions as they are configured to resemble residential, industrial, and commercial areas. Throughout training, ballistic shields can be implemented for various scenarios. Raids, high-risk search warrants, and active shooter situations can be practiced with ballistic shields using both offensive and defensive tactics. There are fundamental CQB principles alongside room clearing and target engagement that are among the most common practices for tactical teams when implementing a ballistic shield in a shoot house.
Shoot houses are proven to enhance both the performance of tactical teams and the efficiency of their missions. The purpose of a shoot house is to implement close quarters combat training with realistic scenarios while using a standard tactical kit or a simunitions converted kit. For many years, shoot houses have served as an enhancement to flat ranges because operators are given much more focus on other factors of the mission besides basic marksmanship.
A site security plan is necessary for organizations where criminal acts may occur. Whether it’s a pre-planned criminal act by an employee, a heated encounter between visitors, or a terrorist attack, site security ensures that people and equipment can stay safe until the dangers have been removed from the premises. These plans establish as many protocols as possible before an event happens. Its precautions not only take into account the structure of the facilities and the grounds, but also the individual likelihood of different threats befalling the site. From the least targeted to the most at-risk facilities, having a solid plan can help you keep everything under control even when your staff is in the midst of clear and present danger. We’ll look at how plans work and why site security classes can be the key to helping you implement them.
Law enforcement and security personnel have ongoing challenges and shoot house training can help them get through some big hurdles and prepare your team. Being able to train correctly to be ready for anything takes time and secure facilities that can mimic what could occur. This type of training should occur in a shoot house where realistic tactics and situations are able to be constructed for the most comparable experiences.
Many critical infrastructure industries are tasked with providing initial and ongoing tactical training to staff in certain roles. The most effective tactical training utilizes solutions that replicate real-life equipment and situations and teaches fundamentals like positioning and safety as well as advanced skills.
How can tactical training programs benefit civilians? For individuals who have never received tactical or military training, the skills gained can save lives.
Tactical training is usually associated with law enforcement or defense organizations, but this stereotype is really something that we need to rethink. Even the smallest buildings may be more at risk than you think. By definition, terrorists look for random places to target. When they evaluate a building, they're looking at how it will impact both the community and wider society alike. While it may seem like a nuclear facility would be the optimal target, they could just as easily go after a shopping mall to make a larger point about capitalism. If you want to keep your structure safe from potential threats, it's time to consider how additional training can be the key to safety.
