I genuinely do not understand some of the negative reviews here about the range being "too hot" or…read morethe staff being rude. That has been the complete opposite of our experience. First, a huge shoutout to the range officers. They made it possible for me to safely teach my 11-year-old son how to shoot in a controlled, professional environment. Safety was clearly the priority, but they also created an atmosphere that was welcoming and supportive instead of intimidating. As a dad trying to introduce his son to shooting the right way, that mattered a lot. I also want to specifically recognize John, who helped me, my wife, and my son become members. The guy was incredible. He gave us an unbelievable amount of time and attention, answered every question we had, and was genuinely kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. Never rushed us, never upsold us, just focused on helping us make good decisions. He even threw in a rental "on the house" because he knew we were in the market to buy that day, which let us get hands-on experience before making a decision. That level of customer service is rare. Another huge shoutout to Joe, who was AWESOME on the phone before we even came in. I asked a ridiculous number of questions (seriously, a lot), and he answered every one without ever sounding annoyed or rushed. Just incredibly helpful and professional. And lastly, Ryan absolutely crushed it helping with our trade. He gave us a very fair price on our trade-in and worked with us to get an even better deal on the two Glocks we ended up buying. Honest, straightforward, and easy to work with. All around, this place has earned an A+ from our family. Are they a little pricier than some other shops? Sure. But customer service, professionalism, a solid range experience, and nine locations don't happen by accident. There's a reason they've been successful. Highly recommend.

On October 20th I was privileged to participate in Mr. Mariucci's Pistol Barriers / Cover &…read moreConcealment Course. Through a series of skill building exercises we were introduced to the concept of alternating the targeting eye from right to left as the line of sight changed from one source of cover to another. This allowed for less exposure and a better use of cover while moving from one point to the next. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in defensive shooting. On November 17th I was able to attend Mr. Mariucci's Pistol Contact / Retention Fighting Course. This was the first time I was able to use my everyday carry pistol and IWB holster. This allowed me to identify a fault in my gun manipulation from drawing with one hand and shooting then transitioning to a two handed grip and continuing to fire. I have been able to address this problem thanks to this class. We were then taught a weapon retention technique that is simple to remember yet effective in allowing the time and space required to fire on an assailant while protecting your face and head from blows. I would recommend this course to all who concealed carry.

We also were humbled to learn how hard it is to discern between threats and "non-threats". The class really drove home the immense responsibility inherent in choosing to carry. I highly recommend it. I will be taking more classes as the opportunities arise. In addition, the emphasis on fundamentals has given me a clear direction on what to do next.

Not just another shooting range -- this place truly stands out!…read more I came in to refresh my shooting skills after some time away, and it turned into such an amazing experience. My husband and I started our day at their coffee shop espresso bar -- the cappuccinos are perfectly on target! It's such a clean, comfortable space to relax while shopping for a new firearm or waiting for a class. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. They offer so much more than a typical range -- concealed carry classes, G-license recertification, private one-hour training sessions, self-defense, judo, and a massive simulator with realistic tactical scenarios. They even host birthday parties and have an impressive tactical maze -- all in Building One! And those are just a few of the many classes they offer -- there's something for every skill level and interest. Building Two is where our family of six enjoys time together on the range. We always feel completely safe knowing there are highly trained experts with many qualifications monitoring and guiding everyone to ensure all safety rules are followed. The lanes are clean and well-maintained, and there's even a comfortable lounge with a TV for breaks between rounds. Every detail here shows how much they care about safety, professionalism, and creating a great experience for everyone. I bring my most precious family members here, and I always feel confident we're in capable hands. This has become one of our favorite family places -- we can't wait to come back!
