About Wake County Firearms Education & Training Center

Wake County Firearms Education & Training Center is an indoor shooting range in Apex, NC that pairs range time with firearms classes. Reviewers describe shooting pistols and rifles indoors, with one noting targets at 25 to 100 yards, and a routine that begins with a safety briefing before anyone goes onto the range. Reviewers say lanes are reserved online.

Classes are a large part of what reviewers write about. They name a Basic Rifle class, Basic Pistol and Basic Handgun classes, and an Intermediate Pistol class, with one reviewer describing a two-hour intermediate session limited to 4 students. Another says their pistol class covered basic safety, handgun handling, recognizing malfunctions and stance practice, and ended with live fire, and a reviewer who took the Intermediate Pistol Class describes practicing at 3, 5, and 7 yards, emergency extraction and single-hand shooting. Another reviewer describes classroom instruction followed by hands-on shooting practice in the Basic Handgun course. Anyone looking for firearms classes in Apex can read in those reviews what the center teaches.

On the range side, reviewers say shooters bring their own firearm, ammunition, targets and eye and ear protection. Range safety officers are present during sessions, and reviews of the staff are split: most are positive, but a number describe rude or unprofessional treatment.

Wake County Firearms Education & Training Center is an indoor range in Apex, NC where reviewers report taking pistol and rifle classes and shooting handguns and rifles.

Great place to shoot indoors… and FREE! It is very cold in winter and very hot in summer. However, there are heaters of the shooting benches that warm just the shooter. The staff are great and facilities are always clean!

Jack helped me sight-in my rifle today. He was polite and gave me some great pointers as a new shooter.

I would recommend anyone interested in learning more about firearms to consider the classes at the training center. While the classes are free they give valuable insight on the safe and proper use of firearms.

第一次带我孩子一起去,体验非常棒!无论是视频培训的先生还是安全员都很有耐心,做为公共服务机构,考虑到所有人的安全,我觉得工作人员做了非常棒的工作,事先看到一些人的负面评价,我不太理解为什么,只能说我自己的感受这是我去过的几个不同的室内外靶场里最棒的一个!

Look, it's a free range. You get what you get. No target retrieval system, so you just set your target up and you stick at one distance until they call a cold range. When I went, it only happened at the start and then a half hour in. Make sure you're on time for the safety brief, or you won't get your range card. Other than that, it's a free range with bays at various distances. Staff is professional. What's to complain about for $0?
