These guys are great! I went in with my first firearm and never having shot one. They gave me a class on how to use it then showed me how and didn’t leave me alone until I felt confident enough to be on my own. Even then they kept and eye on me to make sure I was doing alright. Definitely the place to go.
Great experience! The staff was friendly, professional, and helpful, and the facility was clean and well-maintained. Everything was organized and easy to understand. I’d definitely recommend this range!
I love this range! I highly recommend
Edit #2: the reserved shoots are fun and so educational. The guys are pros and very helpful. Best in the business. Edit: the machine gun experience was phenomenal!! Great experience! Lots of rentals to choose from that work great. There's a VIP lounge for members as well as discounts. Rapid fire is allowed as well, unlike Range USA. The RSO's observe everyone without being overbearing. The staff knows their stuff and are extremely personable. They have a handwashing station right in the range. Lanes are spacious and well ventilated. I bought the membership right on the spot!
Excellent experience! Everyone that I encountered that works there was helpful and knowledgeable! 10/10 definitely recommend definitely will be going back!
Very nice people..Helpful in any of my needs. Clean and air was very well vented. Prices very reasonable.
Top notch range, awesome shooting classes and very educated and well-trained employees. If you respect the course of fire and practice proper firearm handling and etiquette, you will have no issues here. To the people leaving bad reviews because you feel you were treated rudely, quit taking it so personal. You were doing something wrong and the employees had to step in and do their job to keep you and everyone else safe at the range. Keep up the good work guys!
My wife and I had never held a gun in our lives, so we were both pretty nervous going in. But honestly, this turned out to be a great experience! For complete newbies like us, the training was excellent. Justin was our instructor, and he was extremely patient and easy to work with. What we appreciated most was how seriously he took safety, both for us and for everyone else at the range. He also came with us to the range after the training, helped us get everything set up, and stayed with us while we shot a few rounds. His guidance and encouragement really helped us feel more comfortable and confident. They also have a really good variety of guns to choose from. Another thing we really liked was the lounge room, which is very convenient if you have a baby or toddler with you and need a place to sit and relax. Overall, it was a great first experience, and we really enjoyed it. A big thanks to Justin for making the whole experience comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. Definitely recommend this place, especially if you're a first-timer!
Honestly, one of the if not the best Range I’ve ever went to, Employees are down to earth they know their stuff they keep you safe and as long as you follow the rules, you will have an absolute blast
Great place!!
