About Alabama Firearms Academy
Alabama Firearms Academy is an indoor shooting range in Boaz, AL, that pairs a pistol and rifle range with a retail store, classes and an on-site restaurant. Reviewers describe a clean, modern building where shooting goes ahead rain or shine, and one visitor called it "the Apple store of shooting ranges." Newcomers come up often in the reviews: visitors from England and Canada who had never fired a gun say the staff showed them how to use the guns, and one of them adds that they were never rushed.
On the range side, one reviewer describes 25-yard bays, and another describes a camera system that lets shooters mark their impact points without bringing the target back. Handguns and rifles are both shot here. One parent brought a son in to get a rifle sighted in, another visitor went along to let a spouse shoot a new pistol, and one reviewer found the range officers very helpful.
Gun rentals in Boaz, AL come up often in the reviews and run from pistols up to full-auto machine guns, and one visitor describes a great selection for anyone who wants to try a firearm without buying. Classes include a ladies' beginner class, a carbine course and a disaster preparedness workshop, and one visitor describes a three-hour session by appointment that restored their confidence handling their own gun.
The store sells ammunition and shooting supplies. Groups use the Boaz building for gatherings too, from a class reunion to a professional meeting with lunch and range time.

I'm very grateful to have AFA here locally, I've been a member for over 2 years and have no intentions of ever ending it. I don't have a single complaint or negative thing to say about them, I'm just thankful to have them locally, and hope they have many decades of success!
Stopped in one day to see about having a gun delivered to them that I wanted to purchase. While there they showed me around the facility. I could tell they were proud of the facility and they should be proud. They asked me to come and shoot when I came to pick up my gun and I did. Afterwards, I set up a membership, which isn't that much! I like that I can go shoot no matter the weather, it is always nice inside. The facility is the best indoor range I have ever been to and I have been to several. The staff is friendly and willing to help you with anything you want to do. Like filling out paperwork for a new silencer or converting an AR pistol to a Short Barreled Rifle. They also have guns you can rent from pistols to machine guns. And if your a member any friend or family member can come and shoot free of charge as long as a member is with them. There is also a restaurant on site. The complete operation is top notch! Go once and you will be going back if you enjoy shooting like I do!
Excellent staff and prices. If you want to enjoy the second amendment, come here.
I had a very disappointing experience at Alabama Firearm Academy. The atmosphere in both the store and the range was uncomfortable from the moment I arrived. One of the employees behaved in a way that made several customers visibly uncomfortable. A shooting range should be a place where everyone feels safe and respected, but that was not the experience we had. What concerned me the most was the lack of proper instruction for new shooters. Firearms require safe handling, and employees should ensure that beginners understand the basic rules and operation of the firearm before allowing them onto the range. We did not receive the guidance or safety briefing that we expected, which created a potentially hazardous situation. Without proper instruction, someone could unintentionally injure themselves or others. I hope management takes these concerns seriously by improving employee professionalism, treating all customers with respect, and making firearm safety instruction a top priority.
Communication is not the best I got miss informed about age and requirements so I took my business somewhere else(:
My son and i were holiday from Birmingham England and had never fired a gun before wow what a experience this was the staff were very helpful and friendly and showed us how to use the guns and never rushed us once we are still grinning from ear to ear Many thanks to you all James and Andy
Love this place. This is hands down one of the BEST ranges I've been too. It's clean well laid out and state of the art range controls. I will gladly drive an hour passing other ranges to train here.
We’re travelling across the USA from England and stopped by Alabama firearms academy to rent some firearms for the afternoon. Place is absolutely fantastic, great staff really looked after us, helpful at all times unlike other ranges we have visited. Prices are decent and selection of firearms is a joy including full autos if you wanna have some fun and waste some money real fast ahaha. Cheers guys hopefully we can come back one day!
Great after the sale Customer Service. I have been in the firearms business for 50 years and would rate AFA as top notch business and I will be buying from again.
This is a very nice place. That we were looking forward to renting and shooting some fully automatic guns. I called three time to reserve to lane and rent 3 guns. Every time I called I was assured that it was taken care and would be no issues and one of the calls was two days prior to going. This was a Christmas gift to 6 of my family members. When we arrived I ask the gentleman working about renting the guns and he says we can’t rent any because of a training class. So I had to call everyone and tell them not to come that what they had told me 3 times on the phone was not true. Not very professional I will not be back.
