Jake, their all-star gunsmith, installed an Apex trigger in my new M&P. I could not be happier with the work and customer service!

One of the best ranges in Georgia. Owner and employees there are super nice and knowledgeable. They have multiple ranges for pistols, rifles, bolt action, and long range (600 yards max). Two ranges to zero your weapons as well. Steel plates everywhere, which is super nice. Been here twice and will keep coming back!

This range is great. The people who work there are nice and professional. I enjoy coming there any chance I get. I didn’t realize they also have classes to enhance your experience and make you a better shooter. I would highly recommend checking it out and take a class.

Do not go here if you are a beginner. They will approach you for following the rules and being a bad shot-like a beginner would be. He treated me like I was stupid and had no people skill whatsoever. The staff member was condescending and I left feeling very embarrassed. The was there to learn how to shoot with my boyfriend and learn gun safety. Instead, I left embarrassed.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience at Olympia Bend Shooting Range was absolutely terrible. The staff member I interacted with was extremely rude and condescending. He treated me like I was ignorant for not knowing about a new law — a law that wasn’t posted anywhere on their website, waiver, or at the range itself. Instead of taking the time to explain respectfully, he chose to belittle me and make me feel unwelcome. A shooting range should be a place where safety and respect come first, but instead I left feeling embarrassed and disrespected. Clear communication is a basic expectation for any business, especially when it comes to legal requirements. If you expect customers to follow new rules, then make sure they are posted and accessible, not just an excuse to talk down to paying guests. I will not be returning, and I do not recommend this range to anyone looking for a positive and professional shooting experience.
