We had such a great experience with Mr. Shaun! He is a wonderful trainer who took the time to teach us everything step by step. He made us feel very comfortable, safe, and confident throughout the entire training. We had a great time and learned a lot!

I used to stop here somewhat regularly and after returning to the area I noticed the flock cameras, which mgmt seems to refuse to acknowledge the way flock is used in relation to gun ownership. It is not the same as your security cameras that you own and control the data for Eric, you have no control, and local enforcement and government have no control, of where this data goes and who can access it. If you want to sell out second amendment supporters, at least have the testicular fortitude to do it with your chest out instead of backstepping the issue.

Just moved to the area and being in the gun industry at the top of the priority list obviously had to check out the local gun shops. Nice little shop, range looks to be very clean, for the size of the shop they really do have a good selection of different guns, gear, and accessories, and as for the two staff members I spoke to they were very knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. But unfortunately I did see what appeared to be a flock camera…. Even though I can attest to being a law abiding citizen I as many other in my industry; are not a fan. Having an extensive background in many different gun businesses I know that the owner can either choose to opt in or not to opt into that particular camera companies interconnected data sharing network…. So I guess my concern is if they opted in or if they did not. Hard to believe you would have that kind of camera system and not opt in. Won’t be using the range or shopping here after I saw that but had to share my review by the experiences I had.

Been a handful of times in the past five years. Range is nice, store selection is nice, they always have some holsters on sale and ammo at the range. I’ve had two visits with some unsafe handling in the bays. One notably, the shooter was taking firearms out of the bay and loading out of the bay. Rangemaster came over the intercom after the first incident to give them warning, behavior continued. Rangemaster again gave warning. Behavior continued, so I left early. An earlier visit, I had an incident when checking in with Rangemaster. I had my mic’d ears on before going into range, Rangemaster grilled me for it. I could hear him fine, customer before me had same model ears on and carried conversation with RM for minutes with no issues.

I do not want to shop here with flock cameras surveillance on me. It’s that simple. CCTV is for security. Flock cameras are for government overwatch. It’s that simple.

Weird they updated to flock cameras. Regular cameras are fine. Why do you want to be linked into the network where 40% of users are domestic abusers. Not safe. Not cool.

Not really thrilled about the Flock cameras recording lawful gun owners coming and going. That and the fact that the owner doesn’t see that as a problem is extra concerning. “Don’t tread on me” used to actually mean something. Guess the only part of the Constitution that matters is the 2nd Amendment . Of course with gun owners being catalogued as they enter and leave the store, even the 2nd Amendment is under attack.
