Ridgeline Defense is a New Hampshire-based training company with an additional Florida facility, delivering tactical and precision rifle instruction through open-enrollment courses and MIL/LE programs.
Ridgeline Defense runs purpose-built live-fire training facilities at White Mountains Training Center in Dalton, New Hampshire, and Gulf Coast Training Center in Baker, Florida. Founded in 2019, it teaches high-performance shooting for combative applications through open-enrollment classes and contract training for law enforcement and military units. Its precision rifle program uses a systematic, progressive approach that builds marksmanship, manipulations, and rifle employment from fundamentals into advanced field use.
The core precision track includes Precision Rifle, Advanced Precision Rifle, and Mountain Rifleman. Advanced Precision Rifle centers on wind reading and alternate positions, with a stated goal of 2 MOA or smaller groups from positions. Mountain Rifleman uses a mountain wind course near Mt. Washington with static and remotely operated steel from 400 to 1200 meters, plus field positions built around barricades, vehicles, platforms, tripods, and natural terrain. In Florida, GCTC adds seven known-distance precision lanes from 450 to 830 yards and an unknown-distance range past 1,100 yards, along with 270-degree bays, moving targets, HEKTR robots, a three-story shoot house, an urban combat village, convoy trail, and lodging for 40 personnel.
