Always super helpful and friendly people working here. Clean range and reasonable prices. I came in before they built the shooting range. I had purchased my firearm elsewhere but the other place wasn't able provide any info regarding take down and cleaning. My husband purchased a firearm here and Patrick took the time to explain my firearm to me. Because of this, I'm a lifer!

I completed an excellent training series with Patrick Russ. I enjoyed it because Patrick blended in real-world anecdotes, video clips, and artifacts to enhance the course material to make it relatable and memorable. I believe I'm well prepared as a result of taking this course. Patrick emphasized many times throughout the course about how important it is to keep training and practicing. I plan to do that with him and his colleagues at NCSC which is a top-notch facility.

Very nice clean establishment. Guns for rent to shoot at their range (must use their ammo in their rental guns). Rifles, pistols, AR's, cleaning supplies, holsters, ammo, even bulk deals. Their pricing on 115 grain, FMJ, 9mm was reasonable for a full case of 1000 rounds; even beating pricing in my neck of the woods (SF Bay Area) by $10.
