Ricochet Range

It was my first time there and they were very welcoming. They made sure we were well taken care of and answered all the questions we had, they also offered us tips nice place will go back

2nd time here so I’ll start with the first experience 5 stars for the gunsmith with the beard He got my pistol optics mounted properly and got a very good on paper zero. Was not expensive at all for the price of the work and ammo I was very happy with the experience. 3 stars for my range visit I completely understand and respect safety rules they are there for a reason. But to manually pull my target back to the bench to pull me out of the lane and tell me not to draw from my carry holster to put my pistol on the bench a few minutes before I started to fire due to safety concerns about to the range floor being made of concrete and something bad potentially happening. Like I said I understand safety rules. But absolutely no range I have ever gone to has ever said anything about removing a pistol from a carry holster and placing it on the bench. I was wearing a military moral shirt and I wear it shooting for a reason I know what I’m doing I’m very well experienced with firearms and I know how to handle them safely. And I’m often asked for help from other shooters at different ranges because of the shirt and I’m always willing to help another shooter learn or help with issues with their firearm itself. I’ve never had a negative experience or interaction with a RSO at any range I’ve been to. Pulling me from the lane was unnecessary and the rule about removing from the holster safely at the bench is unnecessary. To bring my target in while I was about to fire at it was in my opinion unsafe and disrespectful. I have zero hard feelings for it I just wanted to express that I feel that the interaction was unnecessary and posed safety concern for me while I was about to engage my target. The second experience I had was with the female RSO that took over after the male RSO interaction I had The female RSO was rude to my guest that I had brought with me. The interaction between them started after I tried to tell him he has to take the case to the firearm to put it away but she quickly took over the conversation which I completely understand because of the ranges rules. He exited the range to have a cigarette then returned. He took off his earmuffs outside of the range. But was still wearing earplugs when he reentered the range. The female RSO then yelled at him that he had to have ear protection on which he did. She did apologize for it. He then went into his range bag to find his earplug case (I am wearing walker earmuffs with the built in mic I can hear everything clearly as if I wasn’t wearing them) He said where is my earplug case while he was looking for it. The RSO then got hostile towards him stating if he had something to say do not mumble it at me, if you have something to say it to my face. He then got irritated and responded with I said where is my earplug case loudly. I didn’t hear after that because someone fired and my ears muffled the sound so I didn’t catch the end of the conversation. He exited the range. She got on her radio idk what she said I wasn’t paying attention I was packing up to leave and I was trying to focus on doing so safely. I said to her have a good day as I was leaving and got no response which was rude I had no part in their interaction and did not appreciate the lack of a response. I will not let this experience affect my decision to return unless the owner responds negatively the this review. I may consider the extra drive time to PSA worth it as I was not pleased with the range lighting and found it difficult to get a good sight picture with my iron sights on 2 of my firearms.

Thanks for great instruction.

Enjoyed my CWP class i definitely recommend it 👌🏾☺️

Erik is absolutely amazing. He’s very knowledgeable and thorough in giving instructions. He kept the class engaged and answered all the questions that we had. I feel very confident in the instruction and information that he gave us today. Look forward to coming here again very soon.

Rob was great. Learned a lot, made it fun and had the coolest beard 🤣

Rob "had a lovely beard" per his words, lol. Great, funny and very down to earth with teaching. Highly recommend🙂

Very informative. Enjoyed the class.

Absolutely phenomenal! The instructors were clear and concise. The CWP course was moderately challenging and beneficial. I would highly recommend Ricochet Range's CWP course
