It was my husband and I's first time here. We have been to plenty of ranges, and we haven't had a very receptive or present staff at many ranges. I have to say, it's a great facility. The range safety officers are polite and pleasant. They were friendly, on point, and ready to assist and help guide anyone and everyone. I can't stress how much I appreciate a relaxed (where it counts), aware, and friendly staff to take care of me and anyone else. Prices are reasonable, a large variety of gun and ammunition selections, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Safety glasses are a must. If you don't have any, you can purchase some for $3-this shooting range is also kid-friendly. We'll definitely be returning. If you are on the fence about finding a good spot to train, have fun, or learn your firearm, I can tell you that this is THE Place To Shoot.

The staff were amazing and put safety as the number one priority! Great selection of ammo and the range control folks were extremely knowledgeable and professional.

How good is A Place To Shoot? So good that I drive 2 hours to shoot here. As for a ranges go this place is amazing. A flat fee of $11 and you can shoot all day. Add $2 if you do handguns with the rifles (it's for the handgun target). I came here twice in 2 weeks and I must say both times I was very impressed. The 1st time I shot both rifles and handguns and the 2nd time shotgun and handguns. Both times I was really impressed. So much so I decided to purchase a little compact Taurus handgun which a smaller newer version than a model I already own.. They have a lot of lanes and I really feel like I'm in my own zone when I'm there. Yes they have range masters walking around but they don't hover over you in an annoying way like at some ranges. They just lay back in the cut and observe and answer any questions you may have if you need help. They also have ammo in stock which is impressive now a days since even Walmart has bare ammo shelves. This is the type of place you can either shoot quickly or relax the day away in your own world and take your sweet time. I definitely don't rush and tend to stay a while and shoot a lot of rounds when I come. I also always feel better after I go. There is something very relaxing after the addreline dump you get from shooting things.. everything seems very calm and serine afterward. Kinf of like meditation eith gun powder. I Highly recommend A Place To Shoot and ohhh yes I will be back. Thanks guys for making this place feel like home.

Great place to practice your skeet shooting and hand gun as well as your rifle range. We have been here many times and we always have a great time. Thanks for everything see u soon.

This review is geared more to first time shooters as I'm a first time shooter like literally, first time EVER. First, shooting a gun is nothing like the movies. I suggest you come to the range with someone who has experience shooting a gun, but the staff is also very helpful. This range is outdoors and it's loud everywhere, the kind of loud you feel inside your body, especially when you yourself are shooting. This place is also a store where you can purchase guns, ammo, and other supplies. They also let you rent guns but there are some requirements for that such as you need a buddy to rent a pistol. It cost about $11 for the day to shoot at the range and there is no down town. They also give you a target. They don't have any ammo requirements either. They do ask you to wear safety glasses at the range which you can buy ahead of time. I also recommend getting ear muffs because of how loud it is. When you get to the lane they have a manual line to adjust your target if you want it near or far. I thought the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Overall I had a great first experience here and will go back to get more comfortable at shooting.

Awesome range, they stay out of your business and let you get your rounds in. Also they always have ammo somehow which is surprising.

Here's why I ordered the SOLGW Frogskin…read more I wanted a solid 5.56 rifle I can actually train with and rely on, not just something to sit in the closet. I've had good experiences with SOLGW gear, so when they dropped the Frogskin edition, it grabbed my attention right away. Same SOLGW quality, just with a unique finish that actually looks good instead of being over the top. I'm actually driving from Austin down to San Antonio just to pick it up in person and check out the shop, because this is a rifle I plan on making my main one. The look is a bonus, but the main reason I bought it is the reputation: properly built, reliable, and meant to be shot. These are just my early thoughts based on the specs and what I know about SOLGW. Once I get it, zero it, and put some rounds through it, I'll come back and update this with how it shoots and holds up.

I REALLY wanted to like this company. They are in Texas, huge 2A supporters and seem to put out a…read moredecent product (per online reviews). Unfortunately, orders I've placed directly through them for "In stock" items either never ship or are extremely delayed. I've placed orders direct three times. One of those was for an "in stock" lower that took close to a month to arrive at my local FFL (from San Antonio to Austin). I won't even begin on the poor quality of the finish on the lower. Oh, and don't write a negative review for anything on their site because they won't post it...FYI. Twice, I've cancelled other orders after almost a month of emailing and asking for an order status and 3 plus days go by before I'll get someone who tells me "order is ready, just waiting on shims, so you'll have it next week" and someone else who replies "we are doing our best to keep up with orders" but no status. How about some communication to the customer to say an item is missing from an "In stock" order or just email or call to say "sorry for the delay"...anything. But instead, no communication or attempts and after almost a month on my most recent order, so I cancelled and I will not return to SOLGW for anything. If customer service is this way just to get an item, imagine how poorly things will go if you have an actual issue or a return, etc. Really wish things had gone differently, but a hard pass on poor customer service so I'll stick with another brand.

Powderhorn is a wonderful and helpful location to learn and see many choices of guns…read more I was there recently ( Nov. 2015) and received expert help in choosing a small personal handgun for concealed carry. I am a woman and my contact at Powderhorn was patient with me and explained the stores "90 day LAYAWAY" which is 20percent down and then 3 months to pay. They had what I wanted to buy and I would recommend them to anyone serious about legal gun carry.

Minor work sometimes can be done while you wait and more elaborate stuff may take overnight. The other great thing is they have LAY-AWAY, I used it before, for a shotgun I wanted, but didn't really care to have it right away. It worked out great, I made a few payments here and there, then bam, I was at the shooting range. The prices are pretty good, but what makes them special, is that they offer guns that you won't find at Academy or most commercial gun stores, i.e. AK-47, AK- pistol, SKS style shotguns, etc... So, if you are looking for stuff that you can find at Academy, you'd save a few more dollars for those types of guns at Acadmey since they buy in bulk, but if you can't afford to buy the gun outright then go to Powder Horn and put it on lay away or start saving.

BLUF: Whether you're looking for accessories or guns, they have it and treat you right…read more My go-to gun store in San Antonio. Matt's operation--passion, integrity, customer service, and pricing put it levels above the rest......the way my dad ran his operation for 50-years. They haven't jacked prices up during the entire COVID pandemic. As a result, their ammo sells out fast. In March 2021, they had 200 rounds of 9mm for $70/box. Why? They are good people who stick to their ethos of treating the customer right. When buying a suppressor, Thomas spent time with me showing me various options for my purpose. After selecting the suppresor and attachements, I paid for the items, digitally filed necessary paper work, took digital fingerprints, uploaded my photo and was out the door in 35 minutes. Their Silencer Co. kiosk and helpful assistance made this possible. Their pricing on the Sightmark Wraith is only $10 more than the cheapest price you will find on Amazon or Ebay. Another example of their business ethos on honest price markup and treating the customer right. Want to sell a gun? No one can match their consignment % fee. Purchase on line and transfer to them--I know of no lower transfer fee. Good selection of pistols from the decades old steel frame Star 9mm (in original box) to the latest GLOCKs, they have it.

Couldn't have asked for more professionalism from a gun store staff!

To be fair, the shop did make multiple attempts to call me to come pick up the firearm, and I take responsibility for not getting there sooner. It simply wasn't a priority at the time. What I did not realize was that after 60 days, they can sell the firearm if it has not been picked up. They do disclose this policy on their website, so I want to be clear about that. However, because I purchased the firearm elsewhere and only had it shipped to this shop, I never had a reason to visit their website or review their terms and conditions. My biggest disappointment is that during the multiple attempts they made to contact me, no one ever communicated something as simple as, "If you don't pick up your firearm by this date, it will be sold." Had I known that, I obviously would have made picking it up a priority. So they did sell my rifle. So while I acknowledge that they attempted to reach me and that the policy is posted online, I think a much better customer experience would be to clearly communicate the 60-day deadline directly before selling someone's firearm. Just something to be aware of if you're having a firearm transferred here: make sure you understand their pickup policy and don't assume they'll specifically warn you before the deadline.
