Where world class experts come to train






D.O. Reichard


One of the premiere training facilities in the Midwest

Three ranges to 150 yards - NRA action poistol range - 50 yards handgun range
Smith & Wesson Armorer - 90 acres along the Tippecanoe River - FFL

Experts Say:

In “Advanced Police Firearms Training”, Detective Reichard taught the officers to limit unnecessary movement and urged the use of high quality, and properly designed leather. He taught the officer to draw quickly with the minimum of wasted movement and to fire rapidly at multiple targets. This emphasizes a point all too often overlooked: you cannot shoot fast enough to make up for a miss. Reichard told the officers to concentrate on getting a good grip the first time, to avoid the side step and the leg crouching or squatting that officers were once instructed to do. All this wastes valuable time.

Diverse target scenarios include:

Self-setting tactical rifle targets - multiple barricades - pepper popper range - rotators
NRA action pistol course - falling plate ranges with 3", 6" and 8" plates - duelling mouse gun plates

Experts Say:

"Dennis Reichard does a masterful action job on Smith & Wesson revolvers and gunsmithing work comes in from far and wide. He has convinced so many of his nationwide customers to buy S & Ws that he sells a lot of them, and perhaps for that reason he has all the latest and coolest models on hand--stuff you just can't get with a snap of the fingers in most other establishments. Sand Burr Gun Ranch has become the go-to place for all things S & W"

Snubby class
"Everybody carries it;
nobody trains with it"



Sand Burr's "snubby Course" is dedicated to the short, lightweight revolver that many people carry, but few train with. Learn practical, real-world experience from a wheel gun expert.

Founder & Chairman



There are those who have carried .44 Magnums strictly for the machismo of it. But most can’t handle the .44s legendarily potent recoil when put to the test. D. O. Reichard is not among them. He has won the Indian State Championships of NRA Action Shooting multiple times with his .44s. I recall shooting against D. O. Reichard in Bianchi Cup in the early ‘80s. Reichard was competing with a 6 ½ inch Model 29.
