The Marksman

I was in town and this range came highly recommended, so I gave them a call for more information. The woman I spoke with was courteous, thorough, and answered all my questions. When I arrived, I was welcomed by genuinely kind staff and had no trouble getting a lane to practice. Afterward, an employee even took the time to check my sights at my request. Overall, a great experience—I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend giving them a try!

Went on 8-21-25. Everyone was nice and helpful. Ventilation was good and cool. Hand cranking my target is better than making the range cold and waiting to walk out and change it. I don't know what the problem is with some or what they pay for electric. I will return.

I just completed the course I had such a great experience there . I recommend every one come out and support the markman team you will get quality training you will learn a lot more from the trainer and he and they arei so professional about their training trust me you want be falling asleep in the classroom it's like you can't wait to come back for more to be feed with knowledge round 123 try them out I will tell all my friends co workers or anyone I come in contact with love you guys keep doing the great job that God placed you on earth to help the people who really needs the training the wisdom you provides and the help I thank you so much no one does it like markman

Kind and very knowledgeable. Gunsmith in house is solid! Mega does great work. Sherry & Steve are great also. Always willing to help. Highly.

Went here for a gun lesson with my wife. Eric is our instructor. He was very knowledgeable about gun education and safety. He was very patient in teaching us especially that both of us are novices when it comes to gun handling as well as firing it. He went above and beyond in helping us gain confidence as well as be proficient and be a responsible gun owners. Also to add, I heard that some gun range instructors can be pushy to get you more training lessons in order for them to profit from you. Marksman does none of that. They are all professionals and I highly recommend them for your gun lesson needs or for your gun purchases in the future. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Some of the staff were friendly and helpful, but the ladies there seemed to be mad at the world. Range fee was expensive and the actual range lanes were dated. The target carrier had to be manually sent out as the electronic option down (on all lanes). They tried to sell me 200 rounds of cheap 556 ammo for $300! Ended up shooting what I had with me and ran out of there. Even the pawn shop on Mercury is better than the Marksman!

disrespectful Rude attitude did not like them

Friendly and helpful staff. A little warm in the range.

"I recently completed three security classes at The Marksman in Newport News, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The instructors were exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and engaging, making complex material easy to understand. The course content was thorough, well-structured, and highly relevant to real-world scenarios. The facility itself was clean, well-equipped, and provided a comfortable learning environment. I left each class feeling confident and well-prepared. I highly recommend The Marksman to anyone seeking top-notch security training. Five stars all the way!"
