88 Tactical

Gabe Schreffler is absolutely amazing! He's assisted us in our last couple visits and it's been great each time. He's incredibly friendly, professional, polite, and knowledgeable.

This is one of the finest examples of what the industry is calling a GUNTRY CLUB, a country club for the firearms enthusiast. Our family has enjoyed 88 Tactical for day one. Martial arts classes. Unarmed self-defense. Training classes for firearms; ranges; classes for rifles, pistols, medical trauma care; outdoor survival and more. They have a fitness facility on site that is growing. The Founders' Club is a great restaurant and bar that has been expanded and even better than before. They are in the middle of an expansion and multi-location growth to other cities. Every few months ths the place I started in 3 years ago changes for the bigger and better. Yes, there are some growing pains. The owners and staff are responsive and do take honest criticism seriously and make changes. Most of my photos are of the food in the Founder's Club, but they have so much more. Great place.

Every time I go there, there is a new unpleasant surprise. Third time's a charm they say. Well, this was the third time, and probably gonna be the last. Was thinking to attend their suppressor event last Sat-Sun. Called upfront to find out if I can try them suppressors on my own firearm. Was said YES. Came in. Guess what? No I can't. I can rent one though, they said. I was like, OK. Let me rent one out to try, since I drove there for 20 minutes. NOPE again. I'm supposed to have an adaptor on my rifle, that fits their rental suppressors! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? 1/2x28 - this is the only adaptor I'm supposed to have! Then they say I can BUY an adaptor from them. OMG! You need to have them with your suppressors and install them with rentals, if you choose a path of adapted suppressors, not direct-threaded. Wasted time again. Unprofessional again, third time in a row. Unnecessarily complicated procedures. I'm out of words to describe it. I never used this place as my range (again, overcomplicated, cumbersome, overpriced) but I tried giving them a chance as an event/training facility. They failed that too.

Prices are a little high. But if the facilities justify it, not an issue. I’m considering membership, but wanted to just “try before I buy.” Came in to shoot some paper at the indoor range. I’m an NRA RSO and have quite a bit of experience with firearms and ranges. The target carrier distance was controlled with a toggle switch and there were no other features except closer or farther…which is fine. But the facilities don’t justify the price. There is also a range rule that states you have to bring your bag to your gun not visa versa. In my case, so to speak, my bag had five guns, mags, and ammo in it and I was bringing that back and forth to the shooting station and balancing it on the table top while trying to switch guns. Negligent discharges on the range are something prevent…I get it. But I could think of a few other ways. Range had one other shooter on it and we got the lane right next to him. Not sure why. None of these things are a big deal. It was overall a 4 star experience. I guess I just wanted more. Might come back for a second try.

Team building event in style!

Gavin Rogers is a heck of salesman in Barrie articulate along with very knowledgeable about the facility and membership offers 10 out of 10 would recommend

I came to 88 tactical to learn how to shoot and discovered this is so much more than a range. This establishment is very much like a family. Whether you become a member or are just visiting for the day. From the moment I walked in I was treated with kindness and dignity. I was taken seriously even though I’m just a girl. David is very nice, knowledgeable and professional. I have taken several classes and have had my children take classes and I love that they teach based on everyone’s learning level to help teach knowledge, defense, safety and confidence. And then there’s the delicious food coming out of the kitchen upstairs, the chef is amazing! I highly recommend visiting if you haven’t, it really is a gem, somewhere really special.

It was very nice the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Went with a buddy of mine to go shooting and had a great time. Had a few malfunctions on my end but all in all great place. I also saw the raffle for the Daniel Defense AR15/M4 and couldn't pass up the opportunity to enter. Great place and stay, will potentially sign up for membership in the future

Excellent instruction by Josh!
