Becklin Holdings Expands Defense Innovation with Oregon Ranch

In a significant move for the defense and outdoor industries, Becklin Holdings has proudly announced the acquisition of the historic Nail Spring Ranch, a sprawling 2,000-acre property nestled in the picturesque Langell Valley of Oregon. This landmark acquisition not only represents a strategic investment but also reinforces Becklin’s commitment to enhancing innovation and training capabilities in the crucial defense sector.

President of ECS Composites and Chairman of Becklin Holdings, Sterling Becklin, expressed his enthusiasm about the Ranch, stating: "Nail Spring Ranch is more than just acreage—it's a unique and promising opportunity. This acquisition reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing excellence in the defense and outdoor industries." The ranch is located just a convenient 45 minutes east of Klamath Falls, Oregon, providing easy accessibility while being rooted deeply in the history and natural beauty of the Klamath Basin.

A Hub for Innovation and Training

The newly acquired ranch is poised to act as a pivotal hub for various activities, including product testing, content creation, and client engagement. Its expansive facilities make it an ideal venue for field testing and live demonstrations that showcase advanced products in real-world scenarios. Becklin Holdings envisions the property as a space where innovative ideas are brought to life through practical applications and hands-on experiences.

In addition to offering a rustic yet modern environment for innovations, the property features premium accommodations that can house up to 24 guests, along with a private hangar and airstrip, and a wellness facility that promises an elevated experience for visiting clients and partners. This setting allows for extended stays and immersive events, making it a robust venue for specialized training programs.

Collaboration with Modern Day Sniper

Another noteworthy aspect of this acquisition is the partnership with Modern Day Sniper (MDS), a leading shooting instruction company which will leverage the ranch for training programs. Under the guidance of founder Caylen Wojcik, a former Marine Corps Scout Sniper, MDS offers Precision Rifle Shooting courses that cater not only to law enforcement agencies but also to firearms enthusiasts and competitors worldwide. Caylen has extensive experience, having conducted over 80,000 in-person training hours and 10,000 training days. He emphasized the ranch’s uniqueness by stating, "The ranch provides an environment unlike any other for our training programs. Its ranges, facilities, and accommodations allow us to provide the highest level of instruction in the most outstanding of environments."

Strengthening a Commitment to Growth

For Becklin Holdings, this acquisition is more than a real estate investment; it represents a commitment to growth and innovation within the company’s operational framework. The expansive ranch will facilitate practical product testing and foster strong customer connections through engaging experiences in a secure and controlled environment.

The synergy between the ranch’s historical significance and modern infrastructure reflects Becklin's dedication to reliability, while simultaneously casting a vision for future advancements. The diverse, multi-use potential of Nail Spring Ranch ensures it will serve as a cornerstone of ECS’s enduring legacy and leadership in the defense industry.
