The guns are secured in glass cabinets that are a little hard to see due to the wood frames around all edges. You look down directly or sideways. I found a used gun that was a very nice price, marked about 1/2 of new. Once done the price was even lower and discount covered the sales tax too. License check is fair and all the employees, including Craig, were perfect. Great buying experience and wish we were local to use the range.

We know your sense of comfort and convenience are the keys to successfully learning gun safety, so we follow three simple guidelines. First, we come to your home. This allows you to start training where you learn best and where you need it most. Second, we start with the basics and no experience is necessary. Third, we don't want to change who you are and we are not trying to push gun ownership. Though we love gun ownership, we really just want you to feel safe and secure, and to know gun safety. You don't need to own a gun to know how to safely handle one. We can teach you gun safety skills without ever firing a shot.

What started off as a good experience ended up badly due to really poor service. I certainly would…read morenot recommend this company! Took my concealed carry class and was really happy with the instructor and the overall experience. Applied for my license with the state the very next day and waited a month and a half only to receive a letter from them that the certificate I submitted was not adequate. I figured since this is what sort of thing this company does all the time they would know what certificate is needed. Apparently not! I called and requested the correct one be sent to me and Megan acted very put out. I asked if the new certificate could be emailed to me since I only needed a copy for the state and she said no it would have to be sent via post office. Sooo I got the new one and my name was spelled wrong. Of course the state will not accept this as it did not match my ID and application form. So I called again and left a voicemail for Megan asking for a new certificate. She left me a message back that she would send it but that she filled out the last certificate based on what I told her. As if I somehow don't know how to spell my own name and didn't provide her the correct spelling. And of course no apology for the second error either. Hopefully the third times the charm and the new certificate will actually be correct. But what awful service!

We were a group of 4, made up of 2 people with previous experience in firearms and 2 novices. Andy was amazing, he was so thorough and treated all of us the same! He assessed everyone's knowledge and comfort and answered all the questions we had with details, examples and always explained the why's. I had never owned a gun or fire one. I learned how to load, unload, clear 4 different types of malfunctions, but most importantly I learned so much about my gun. I didn't know what to expect during the classroom training, Andy made the 3 hours fly by. In the shooting range, Andy was there with us the entire time. He helped us be confident with our performance and corrected us when it was needed. We are definitely going to go back to visit Andy for additional range training. If you are a new gun owner, do yourself a favor and hire Andy. Thank you Andy for your patience and knowledge sharing. I definitely feel like a much more responsible gun owner and handler.
