Odessa Area Outdoor Gun Range & Paintball

Owner has a terrible attitude and is disrespectful. He also flagged my group with a gun a couple of times. This was around a month or two ago. Just left a different range where I got treated well so it made me want to leave this review

Good place for training and fun

Paintball field regular here, field needs more players! Gun rentals are pretty sick, field is a big apocalypse junkyard and they do have air and ammo (good luck finding it anywhere local) I would just wear good shoes and bring water

Horrible customer service! The staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It’s simply not worth your time or money. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else where you’ll actually be treated with respect and can enjoy your experience.

The person working at the gate was HORRIBLE, and based on the responses I’ve seen to other negative reviews, it appears that whoever manages this business's page may share the same disrespectful attitude toward customers. When we arrived, the guy running the front told us we would have to wait 30 minutes before he could give us a safety briefing. During that entire time, he sat in his car scrolling on his phone. When he finally came out, he explained that he didn't want to give the safety briefing to only our group because he would have to repeat it for other customers. Instead, he said he waits until a larger group arrives. Honestly, that was one of the laziest and most unprofessional explanations I have ever heard. We were paying customers who had already arrived and were simply expected to sit around and wait because he didn't want to do his job more than once. The safety briefing itself was also terrible. I have visited this place about three times before, and this employee managed to make this visit by far the worst experience I've had here. During the briefing, he went on a rant about how "Odessa people are trash and don't care" and how Americans are "crybabies." I'm sorry, but why would you insult the very people who are paying to support your business? Customers should not have to sit through an employee's personal rant or be insulted while trying to enjoy an experience they paid for. The attitude, the unnecessary wait, the unprofessional behavior, and the disrespect toward customers completely ruined the experience. I will not be coming back. From now on, I would rather make the trip to Midland Indoor Range than spend another dollar here. A business can survive bad equipment, long waits, and even mistakes. What is much harder to overcome is an employee or management team that treats paying customers with disrespect and then responds defensively when people speak up about their experiences. If the owner actually cares about this business, they should seriously reconsider who they have representing it and how customers are being treated. Dont believe me? His whole speech is on my Ticktock. It is ridiculous. No... your response proves how much you care about your customers.

Recommend super chill guy explaining and training 10/10

Amazing experience, had a blast! Great costumer service as well. Ammo, targets, rentals he has it all if needed.

This was a nice range when it opened. However, we went out there recently. The pace was overgrown with weeds. About halph the target boards were missing. The safety bell is missing in several areas. And we were kicked out for not stopping shooting when the bell rang. However, where we were, the 300 yard range. There was NO BELL even there !!!!! Will NOT be going back !!!!

This is a great place to go if you want to try new guns or just enjoy your own. There is a lot of complaints on how dirty it is. My take on all this is simple, there is a lot of people that mistreat this place by leaving trash everywhere and messing up the range by destroying the posts made to hold targets or just shooting random stuff out there. It’s a one man crew help the guy out clean after yourself and communicate with him if you see anything wrong, and follow the damn rules it’s that simple. He’s a great guy as-long as you’re not rude with him or just barrel through the gates without paying, if you don’t follow the rules and timer schedule when the bells are down he’ll give you a warning the first time he understands no one is perfect, but when you go on to argue with him is extremely childish. I’ve seen it all and I only go there 2-3 times a month I’ve seen a lot of bs he has to deal with . He can’t sit on the range to babysit everyone there, if he did that there would be a lot more complaints on having to wait at the closed gate. And again with all the complaints on overgrow weeds, he’s one man show most of the time, if it’s such a bad thing, then clean a spot out for yourself. I recommend going there and if you see anyone being stupid either tell that person something or tell the guy in the front.

I have been to this place 3 or 4 times, and almost every time I’ve visited, I’ve seen one employee treat customers in a very disrespectful manner. Today it happened to us. He was yelling at the people next to us, and then at us as well. I don’t know what his problem is or if he hates his job, but management should seriously talk to him about whether he really wants to keep working there, why he seems to hate his job, or if he simply needs another employee to help him. I’m not sure, but that’s my recommendation. The few times I’ve been there, I’ve always seen the same behavior, and today I noticed that the other customers felt the same way. On top of that, the shooting range is in very poor condition. The grass and weeds are so overgrown that you can barely see the targets.
