We'll definitely be recommending to others!

I've recently rekindled the 2nd Amendment hobby from my younger days and this range has been…read moreamazing. I grew up handling firearms in Texas and Oklahoma and the ranges there are frankly somewhat lacking in many regards. RSOs are far and few between, safety is taken somewhat lightly, and in in general a lot of the ones I've been to aren't very well run, from membership process to ammo sales to rentals, etc. In Oklahoma specifically, I once witnessed someone discharge a .50 caliber magnum into the ceiling by mistake in the port next to me by someone who decided that starting their firearm journey with the largest revolver they could rent was a good idea. Ummmm.... Gun for Hire to me has been somewhat of a shock in how well it operates, and how nice and knowledgeable everyone is. This place is run like a Rolex factory. I became a member after the first visit. I've now brought both family friends and members to this place at least half a dozen times and every time our experience has been extremely positive. From the registration process, to the rental process to the RSOs giving tips and advice to newbies everything has been spotless so far. Rental ( non-member range ) practically has RSO for every port, and member range typically has around 2 RSOs (due to a more knowledgeable clientele). Chief RSO is a distinguished gentleman whose stories are as awesome as his mustache. Gun for Hire shop is staffed by very knowledgeable people and they sold me my first dream gun (John Browning's classic in Lord's Caliber) and I really appreciated their advice on everything from magazine selection to maintenance tools, to future purchases. If they don't have something in the shop they will write the item description on the super-cute "prescription pad" for you to be able to look them up elsewhere. Special shout out to the Gunsmith Mike who is super chill, and has helped me get my 1911 running like clockwork post-break-in period. He provided me with a ton of maintenance tips which saved me a lot of effort and time (and prevented me from doing an "idiot scratch"). Lastly, I'll address some of the extremely negative reviews that I've seen here for this place. You come to a place where you are handed a murder machine that you can fit comfortably in your hand. Follow the 4 rules or else FAFO. Yes I have definitely seen RSOs raising their voice to people doing stupid things in the rental area. That IS THEIR JOB. If you are handed a destructive device and don't follow the rules to the T don't be offended when you hear "Cease fire!". Watch a 10 minute video on youtube on gun safety and no one will have a single issue with you, I promise. This place is as inclusive as it gets.

The staff inside at the front desk was super kind, they even charged my phone for me. They have free stickers on the wall at the entrance/exit! Once we got our waivers taken care of, we went downstairs to get our guns of choice and equipment. The team was very knowledgeable and gave us great reccomendations for first timers. Marthin checked us out at the counter and had great customer service skills. We chose the AR-15 and a 9mm. It's was $313 for 4 people including the 2 guns, ammo and eyes and ear rental equipment. Not a bad price to split for ~1.5 hours. When we got inside of the range, the staff took their time to show each one of us the correct way to load, unload, pick up/put down the gun, turn the safety on/off and how to position our hands with each gun. They stayed close by for any questions an to watch our form and they so nice and helpful. Literally everyone and that helped make the experience so good for us. I took home the zombie poster after we demolished it!

We shot a few of his guns along with his new purchase a Finnish Seka 30.6 which he was very proud of. It packed quite a kick. While setting up another weapon Dominick the Club President came over and we chatted briefly. All very friendly. We shot at 100 yards today. Last time it was at 50 yards. My shots were pretty good according to my buddy. He explained that our groupings were consistent and he showed me how to adjust the sights and windage. It was a lot of fun spending some time doing something that I do not normally do - I am a golfer, and learning some new stuff. I do admit writing this my shoulder is a bit sore. Will return when invited again. Mark.

One minute you're young, single, enjoying life…read more The very next... you're old. With twins (?!) and each year you're trying to find something new and unique for them to experience for their birthday(s). This year I surprised them with... rootin' tootin' (trap/skeet) shootin'. (About a mile before reaching our destination I slipped up and ruined the surprise - which they won't let me live down now!) After driving through scenic and beautiful parts of Jersey (autumn, the colors all around were absolutely stunning) we arrived. It's a mountain. And when you hear those guns going off - it's jarring (for city folk, like ourselves). Yeah - "Thunder Mountain" - is more than a fitting name for this biz. Seven of us (only six are shooting), three generations, and with our most incredible guide/instructor - we were blasting away in no time. We had a clay-zy good time. (Hey, that's the best "dad pun" I could whip up, gimme a break!) Youngest twin was the marksman of the day - 19 of 25. My father-in-law was the least successful - 2 of 25. (The Mrs. and the older twin all did much better than me as well... which definitely dinged my ego, for sure.) It's cash-only. The couple behind the counter at the 'lodge' were very friendly, engaging and no-nonsense. Our guide/instructor really helped to make our afternoon even better/smoother. He was constantly giving us pointers and encouragement and he deserves a raise for putting up with my father-in-law's insistence on refusing to ever yell "pull" (I'm still not sure if it was an honest mistake or him just looking to bust chops) but pretty much any other word that started with a "P". You're given a gun, earplugs and ammo (25 shots in total), rotating after 5 shots/attempts. This was a perfect amount to keep it fresh and interesting and fun. Teens are never impressed, especially if it involves their parents. But the entire ride to Kinchley's (you'll work up an appetite, lemme tell ya) and then home... they could NOT stop talking about how much fun they'd just had and can't wait to come back. (That definitely helped that fragile ego of mine!) PS: the following day I was sore and a bit bruised on my shoulder where the butt of the shotgun rested.
