    Nice range. Not gouging on ammo during shortage. Very helpful. The woman renting lanes was incredibly friendly and pleasant.

    Indoor range is nice. However, thou now must buy your ammo there. Also, the pro shop is now gone.

    Took my wife here to fire her first firearm. We are both 26 and I'm active duty, she's never shot a…read moregun before and her family was always against them. I started her on our home defense shotgun the same way my dad started me as a kid. She was scared to say the least but the line coach noticed and talked her through it. She didn't want to shoot more than one on the 12 gauge as I'm sure most people can understand why. The line coach was nice and paused our time so we could rent a Glock for her to try out since she was feeling better after getting a big scary gun outta the way. They took great care of us and the prices were very fair. Thanks so much to all the guys for making us feel like we were back home in Texas!!!

    I took the pistol permit class with Lorenzo (like another reviewer). He was absolutely…read moreoutstanding. We had a large class with a wide range of experience. Several of us were new to firearms and he presented the material clearly and thoroughly. His focus was on making sure we were comfortable, understood the material and could safely handle firearms. He encouraged and answered every question sincerely and patiently. It was an awesome experience. My wife took the class with ""Toby" and she felt the exact same way about him. In our time since the classes, we have met the owner, several members of the sales and range safety team. To a person, they are outstanding. They all engage quickly to help, answer questions and give advice. Many of them have a rich history in the field or military background. I have not encountered a business where from top to bottom the staff is so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The store had a great selection of supplies, ammo and forearms and has great prices. The range is clean well lit. Extremely highly recommended. Our experiences with Vantage Point has been so positive, i felt compelled to write a review.

He is extremely friendly, knowledgable, and efficient. PLUS, Mic is a USMC veteran, and I encourage people to patronize Veteran owned businesses.

Not only did he offer a private class for the 5 of us but at a great rate as well, scheduling and communication was very easy and straightforward. On the day of he greeted all of us and welcomed us in to get started, he was very personable and friendly yet knowledgeable and serious at the same time partaking in jokes and providing us with context and examples creating a relaxed yet no bs learning and training environment where he will be honest with you and critique things to be mindful of if necessary and provide you with any insight you may need. Our time preparing before the range and our time at the range was also very nice, it was informative, fun, and to the point. I really enjoyed his teaching style and methods, we all had a great time and met someone very knowledgeable. He also said we could reach out if we needed anything, 10/10 I would recommend booking or contacting for whatever you might need I'm sure he can help you out. Great price, great learning, great experience overall with a great guy to teach you and anyone else who wants to get started.
