Overall a good facility with friendly staff (the RSOs were great the few times I came in the last 2 weeks), but when they changed their hours to winter on Oct 1st we were not told when we came in on the 2nd 45 mins before the lanes closed, so we paid $80 to shoot 3 mags. You have to wait until on the hour or half past to put your targets out - and there were no offers of even a partial refund after we only got to shoot for 10 minutes even after mentioning this to staff. The RSOs were also surprised they didn't tell us when we paid. It could have been a mistake because they wanted to go home, so if they offer to correct the situation I'd probably be fine with it. Otherwise I don't think I'll be coming back and glad I didn't get the membership yet.

First time at Blue trail. Great selection of firearms as well as accessories. $40 to shoot all day is great compared to other local indoor ranges. Lots of lanes for handgun and rifle. Smooth process for everything. I will most definitely be back!

My first time there was a great experience. We only shot outdoors, but the indoor range looks nice. Great prices, friendly staff. RSOs are by the book, and they do not play games. Recommend getting reservations early if you plan to go on the weekend... it gets busy at the outdoor range.

Overall a really interesting range with LOTS of options for shooting different weapons. Very large place. Staff was very welcoming, polite and helpful. My only 2 concessions: 1. Very pricey! We rented 2 pistol lanes for the day four people. But they charge per person, so cost runs up fast! Understand the need to cover for maintenance and whatnot and that it is reserved for the day, but maybe group or half day offers to bring price down? 2. The target stops and stands were in rough shape for the pistol range. We ended up trying to wedge splinters of wood on the ground keeping them in place. It worked OK, but probably because there wasn't much wind that day. Given the price, it seemed should be a bit better maintained. These are 2 very minor concessions. Overall, it was a great and most importantly, SAFE experience! Range safeties were present, the overhead structure kept the sun off of us and we had a great time! Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good outdoor range!
