Love this place! Always clean and totally professional. The staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating.
Great place for shooters- great staff-
I have shot here a couple times here before and it was great. But this time the Guns were poorly maintained both an M1911 and Sig p365 jamming several times which as any gun guy knows is almost unheard of in the gun community. One of the Grips on the M1911 began falling off midway through even. But overall each experience was pretty good until now, but even still it's insanely expensive. To shoot 2 guns with 50 rounds each it was about 150 dollars which could have probably bought me a brand new pistol in some other states so unfourtunately I can't say I am coming back again though I'll admit it was fun while it lasted.
I've been shooting here for a few years now and cannot recommend it highly enough. Great team and I've brought friends and colleagues alike here to check it out. It's been particularly nice to have a great female professional / expert shooter, Cheryl, as a coach 💫
I wish I could have 2 reviews for this place--One for the CCW class and another for the clerks I dealt with. John is by-far the best Firearms instructor I've seen. If you get a CCW, go to his class, but if you want ammo or guns, go somewhere else. I asked a blonde woman who was at the register at the time if they sold Beretta shotguns, her hasty response was, "everything for sale is over there. No we don't" and cut off our interaction right there and turned away. I had to pay for ammo for my qual, and I asked if I could get some additional ammo, she said she wanted to do this one first, and that there was a long line. I looked at her like, excuse me? I'm a customer too. She explained it was a different transaction with a background check, and she couldn't do it, and the one who can is on the phone." The one on the phone wasn't much better. I asked him about a red dot for my gun, he said which one do you want? I said I don't know yet. He said, "You have to know which one you want before you can put it on..." wow, no kidding, talking to me as if I didn't know anything about guns. I was thinking more like, what is the process to get this done. I explained my Sig isn't optics ready. "He told me it has to be optics ready before you can figure out what red dot you want." He stood there silent after his condescending attitude, expecting me to leave. I continued to ask about buying a new optic ready slide, I'm thinking like, "Dude, what are my options?" little help here. Long story short, don't deal with the clerks, they don't have time for you. Interesting response, either you're lying or i am, and i would be wasting my time writing a review if it weren't true. Everyone knows how this works.
Had to do a transfer and shipping, Cody was incredibly helpful. It was quick, easy and I am confident everything will be taken care of properly.
This indoor a shooting center was my present for father's day from my son. How can I say anything wrong. It was great to hear my son yell out "the old man still has it".
Great range. Well maintained and ventilated. Very good service
Friendly staff, but unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing. I ordered magazines through this location and was given an expected pickup date. After waiting several weeks, I went back in and found out the order had never actually been placed. After failing to place the original order, I was then told I would need to bring in the firearm before they could place a new order and determine which magazine I needed. That was the last straw for me, since I had already provided exact model and caliber, which is enough to identify the correct magazine. I did receive my refund, but the lack of follow-through and the apparent lack of product knowledge was frustrating. This will likely be my first and last time using this location. In my experience, Iron Sights has provided a better overall experience and seemed more knowledgeable.
The best range in north county by far, friendliest staff, good selection of firearms and ammo. Clean and good ventilation. I'm pretty sure the negative reviews here are from divas. Only very slight complaint is the shooting booths are dim.. bench area and targets down range have good lighting. The contrast is enough to wash out *some* auto adjusting pistol red dots for example.
