Blackbeard and all employees are awesome. We've been going for the last year or so and really look forward to every visit. The range is modern and very clean. Touch screen controls. The range officers are always helpful too if needed. The sales floor is well stocked, very helpful guys behind the counter who are incredibly knowledgeable. We special ordered and got our items quick! We also took our LTC class here at BB with Tap Smith and learned so much while thoroughly enjoying the entire class. He kept our attention, used real life scenarios to make things stick and knew what he was talking about. Everything was organized from start to finish of getting our LTC. Highly recommend coming here for all needs. We came here first with the intention of going to other ranges until we found one we loved. Well, we loved it here from Day 1 and never had to go elsewhere! read more

Blackbeard Armory and Range - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Sherman, Texas

Got stiffed for a 10 visit $100 range pass right before they sold, seems like you wouldn't sell those if the future was in question.

Wow! I just had a phenomenal experience at Blackbeards. I have very introductory level knowledge of guns, and my past experiences in gun stores (even ones in Sherman) have left me feeling uneasy and often undermined especially as a woman. Sharing only because this is the first gun store I have been ever where I would come without my husband. I felt respected, heard, encouraged and excited at the thought of being able to really get comfortable around firearms. I spent a good amount of time talking to Shelby and her father the owner Tap. In truth, I won't be going to another gun place after the wonderful experience I just had. In every way, they go above and beyond. It's family owned so they care about literally every detail (and so do I which makes for a great match!). They aren't in a rush which is refreshing. They answered all my embarrassing questions and every single person working there knows their stuff!! I spent over 3 hours shooting in the range, walking around, learning and growing in knowledge about guns with no pressure or intimidation. In so many words, I just wanted to share, I highly recommend this place from range cleanliness & setup to gun and accessory selection & customer service. Kind, ethical and trustworthy - I will spend my money nowhere else and you shouldn't either! read more

I had an interesting experience using them as an FFL Or to ship a firearm too from an internet purchase. I had never done this before so I called and asked if they will contact me when it arrives. They said they will NOT contact me but when the shipper delivers it I will get a text and come down after I receive that. I received the delivery notice and headed out half excited about the purchase since what I bought was hard to get. I walk in and I'm told that I will be contacted when ready since it wasn't checked in yet. I said I called trying to avoid the confusion and was told you WOULD NOT CONTACT ME WHEN READY. After saying that the owner had to play big bulldog in front of his employees and of course danced around not saying that. So pissed off me said a little swear while walking out the door and I said I'll come back tomorrow. This guy chased me out the door and said he was going to send the gun back where it came from. I requested he don't do that and played big asshole wanting me to apologize in front of his camera and employees making me feel foolish... I had plans on spending a lot of money there that day using the shooting facility and ammo, etc. I planned on signing up for the offered courses. I went back an hour later after they text me and everyone was so sweet and kind. That's for the 2 stars instead of one. I'll never return. There is another one a mile away. read more

I visited Blackbeard over the weekend to practice on the range. I figured that I needed only an hour to reacquaint myself with a few things. While the range experience was great, what came after was simply stellar. Tap was super patient and extremely knowledgeable. He could have charged a fee for all that he did to help us. I left far more knowledgeable than I arrived. To make matters even better, I was able to purchase a safety device for a family member who loved the idea of not wielding a weapon. I would strongly encourage anyone in need of expert advice, a knowledgeable and friendly staff to stop by. You will not only be glad that you did, but you will return again and again. Thanks team. I look forward to seeing you next time. read more

Not impressed in many ways! Felt rushed and uncomfortable the whole time! Will not be returning. Maybe they cater more to males.

Wife and I have been going here for a few years now. The staff has always been friendly and knowledgeable, Tap is great to deal with, and their selection is good. read more

This is a fantastic gun store! Tons of inventory to choose from even though they opened up in the middle of COVID when everything was allocated. Tap is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable people you can possibly deal with in the area period! If you're lucky enough to come in when Les is there he's also a salt of the earth individual. I've bought eight firearms from them since they opened and also traded a few. I have done business with the other two major gun stores in the area and this is the place I shop at now. read more

If you're in the market for guns or ammunition this should be your only stop. All of the staff and the owner are incredibly friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. We will not purchase firearms anywhere else. Can't wait to use the new range as well. read more

Fantastic range and staff. Hard to find a place this friendly AND reasonable. I've been to several ranges in the DFW area and this is my favorite. I also had a firearm transferred to them and they called the day it arrived. I would highly recommend this location even if it's a bit of a drive because it's worth it. read more

Bought a trigger from them installed it didn't function properly because the bolt catch release was too short to fully disengage. Wouldn't work with me at all except wanting to have a gunsmith take my gun and shave down part of it to "make it work". Will not be back and very pushy "salesman". Have bought at least a box of bullets everytime I go there trying to be a good customer but apparently that doesn't mean anything! read more

Decent gun selection. However, here is the thing, if you buy frequent guns throughout a year's time You will find they are a bit high on their prices. Also, I find it personally offensive it you sell me a gun and 6 months later I want to sell the gun on consignment and you won't let me. Well, why would I do business with a place like that? The staff are friendly but Tap is kind of a jerk. He can be abrasive and tend to talk down to people. read more

Huge selection of items in stock. Prices are as good as you'll find anywhere. The thing that stands out is the friendliness of the folks who work there. Usually gun shops seem to be stocked with self-appointed experts and know-it-all curmudgeons who don't have time to talk with mere mortals like you and I. Blackbeard is different - extra friendly folks who seemed to enjoy interacting with their customers. I'll be back and I'll recommend Blackbeard to friends and family! read more

This is my favorite place to go for any of my firearm needs. I am big on customer service and feeling like I am getting a fair deal with any business. Tap and his team far exceeds any expectations that I have for a business. Tap and his team have really helped my wife feel more comfortable with her guns and now she is wanting to get her concealed carry. If you are looking for a place to make you feel at home this is the place! read more

I am not a hunter or someone who knows a lot about long guns, but always enjoyed shooting. After finally deciding to pull the trigger and buy my first long gun, I want to support a business I knew and trusted. Living out of state I didn't know what to expect. I messaged Tap and he made some recommendations and I made my purchase. The team worked well with my FFL and I got my long gun quickly. The team at Blackbeard made what I thought would be a difficult transaction seem like a walk in the park. They know what they're doing and offer a great service. Regardless of how you do business with them, rest easy knowing they'll take care of you! read more
