About The Modern Sportsman

The Modern Sportsman is an indoor shooting range and gun store in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. Reviewers describe a large store with a big inventory, one calls the indoor range large, and several describe the range as clean and well maintained. One reviewer also mentions a good selection of ammo and accessories in the store, and others mention selling or trading in firearms there. One reviewer who visits with a toddler calls the store kid friendly.

The range has some technology that stands out in the reviews. One reviewer describes an automated target hanger with "preset and customizable distances" that moves the target by computer, which frees up the shooter's hands for reloads. The same reviewer would like longer, deeper benches for setting long guns on sandbags to zero them. Two other reviewers say the range is short on chairs and coat hooks.

Rentals come up several times. Three reviewers praise the rental selection, with one calling it extensive and another describing a good selection of rentals, so gun rentals in Coon Rapids, MN, come up repeatedly. Classes are mentioned too: one reviewer says there are lots of classes, another had a good experience with the classes, and a third describes a handgun class that spent a good amount of time on proper handgun handling and use, with practical case studies in the classroom.

In Coon Rapids, the store pairs an indoor range with rental firearms and classes.

Fantastic experience. The staff was knowledgeable and very nice. They explained everything and offered alternatives based on their own experiences which was great. I never felt pressured to get anything I didn’t want nor did I feel like they were trying to upsell me which is an automatic green flag in my book.

This class was different, and arguably much better than previous classes that I’ve taken over the last 20+ years. We spent a good amount of time with proper handgun handling and use. In the classroom, we covered several practical case studies rather than simply iterating over statutes and interpretation of what they allow. This is the real deal.

First time walking in, impressive store, tried to use range, unfortunately ran into horrible customer service, I did fill out the form incorrectly for that I was literally called a liar, talked over and when I asked to redo the form in came sarcasm, maybe a bad day being Monday but like the saying goes “how do you go bankrupt? , one customer at a time “ customer service needs to be addressed here imo and they lost two customers.
