    This is one of the most well-known shops in Norfolk well in the area in general I've always loved coming here and feel very welcome even as a female by myself the employees make me feel welcome and are knowledgeable they definitely know their products I like the variety of targets that you can choose from and how adjustable the range distance is the individual booths are a little close and sometimes the shells can pop over but overall it's a very clean and lovely experience

    Nice range with good selection of gun rentals and safety gear, ammo and targets. Range Marshall will help you if needed

    When I asked for help, the customer service was nonexistent, and the shop had a very limited gun inventory. I've seen pawn shops with more.

    Really nice range and staff. I didn't look around the store too much but it seems well organized…read moreand well stocked. There wasn't a wait time or anything to get a lane (3:00pm on a Monday) but not being a member did mean waiting like 10-15 min to be see while I waited for members to get checked into the range first which was expected so no big deal. The staff were great too. My dumbass went to not only the wrong lane, but also the wrong range and they were chill about it. They just had me and the guy who had reserved the lane I went to swap lanes. It costs a more than most ranges near me (for a non member), but the range is really nice, so worth the cost difference in my opinion

    I cannot recommend this place enough!…read more I came in with a history of gun violence & this visit was to overcome my fear of guns. The check in process was very easy to navigate and the team members were very helpful. Jake helped me get set up at the desk & he assured me that the safety person in the range would be helpful too. It's clear that safety is a top priority here. They require you to wear hearing & eye protection before you enter the range room! I entered the range room & was initially shaken & tearful so I stepped out, wiped my tears & then entered again. John helped me slowly ease up to the bay & walked me through all the safety basics of the gun. He helped me grip it correctly and get a feel of it before the mag was even loaded. He imitated what the kick would feel like. Once I was comfortable with just holding it, he showed me how to load the bullets. I was shaken & nervous between each step but he was calm, reassuring, & patient with me. I eventually loaded the mag & did one shot. From there, my confidence built. Overall, I would recommend this gun range to any & everyone. As a woman who came here alone to face my fears, I feel accomplished & empowered. Huge shoutout to John for his patience, kindness & cute smile. To anyone out there debating:DO IT, even if you do it scared & with tears in your eyes!

    Well I had chosen them to do a transfer for me last week, mostly because they had a low fee for…read moretransfers but once I got to the bussiness it had a nice family owned atmosphere, small place where you would be treated right. Well they call me today and say my transfer is in and I could pick it up before 6. Cool I thought. Well, before I go any further let me say I was having a collectable 1955 cosmoline wrapped rifle transferred. So I get there and fill out the paper work for the check, while they running it, they say have a look at the rifle. Well when I look in the shipping box at the rifle, I see that all the cosmoline wrapping has been removed... So I ask them whats up with the cosmoline being taken off completely and they say they had to take it all off to check the serial number... so this rifle that has survived 59 years wrapped and has gone thru at least 3 transfers before (import, buyer, pawn shop, and now me) suddenly had to be stripped of its cosmoline shell. I was pretty well upset about this and after a 5 minute discussion where they basically said there was nothing they could do, I took receipt of my naked rifle and a plastic grocery bag full of cosmoline wrappings and left. I felt really taken advantage of. So I get home and after looking in the box closer I see that the bayonet and cleaning kit are not in the box. So I have to call them back to look for them and now I have to go back and get them ... So after talking to the owner for a addotional 20 minutes on the phone I was told there is nothing they can do and it is MY fault for not being specific about handling instructions after they received the transfer... So i pick up the parts and only words i say is where is the tag also, i am quiet and reserved as to not escalate things. So now I'm screwed, and my collectable rifle is now worth a third less and is no longer in the more desirable collectable condition. So beware, they seem to not be concerned with having customer service, I say two thumbs down for them. If it was a honest mistake just say so and make it right as possible but they choose to blame me. Looks like I am going to have to find another FFL for transfers in the future. Beware! Shop with them at your own risk!

The owner himself told me he had lost a cerakoting guy but that it would be about a month for him to do it. He went on to describe how he'd use clay in the fluting to accomplish this. Great I told him I don't really care about the two barrels, but I want the bolt back for hunting season. A month would've been October 15. I called to check on this in early November and was told there's nothing listed beside my name. But that it should almost be done. Today nine weeks later after I originally dropped it off I went into the shop to see how things were going. The owner proceeded to tell me that he really only likes to do simple stuff, but that he could call somebody to see if they'd be interested in doing this. Are you freaking kidding me? It would've taken two minutes to give me a phone call to tell me that you didn't want to do this anymore. Instead, I've gotta find out halfway through gun season that the project isn't even started? Wow just wow.
