Friendly and helpful service Greate place
First time shooter, Had a lot of fun and felt comfortable while participating in the activity. Staff was knowledgeable and made clear proper range etiquette and how to operate the firearms safety. I will be back!
Both staff workers at the front were extremely rude and sarcastic. So unprofessional I left. I would not come back here ever again.
I enjoyed this experience.
09/16 been there with a friend who just got his permit and was a first timer here! Man! This is the worse place ever. I have been to a fews shooting ranges including ones in Jersey and PA . But this place is something else. Rude instructors inside or whatever you call them ,Terminators😅This place is a joke. They definitely should fire those instructors inside ex law enforcement or whatever. Doesn't know how to respect ya as a person.Thinks only they know about firearms and everybody else is just stupid there Complained to their manager Manny. He did listen to me and took my feedback. Never here again tho
Very helpful and knowledgeable
Extremely rude and unprofessional service from the front desk attendant, Manny. On my first visit, he was rude and completely unhelpful. The second time, he actually turned me away because he said he was cold and didn’t want to be downstairs—his words, not mine. On my third visit, he was even worse: extremely rude, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. After giving this place multiple chances and being treated this way repeatedly, I will personally never go back. Customer service should never make someone feel unwelcome or like they are an inconvenience simply for showing up.
I had a really good time shooting here and if you're looking to try our rifles or shotguns here, the trip to Pioneer is worth it. I rented out a Mossberg 500 and got some really good pointers on how to handle and fire the thing. (Recoil on this thing is a beast--even with push-pull.) Great, knowledgeable peeps all around and I'll definitely be back for another round!
I had a fun experience here and learned a lot from Mohan. He was a great instructor.
My instructor Moran took his time with me and lead me every step of the way. He was amazing
