JT, and John work the weekends. They are knowledgable and fun gentlemen. The place probably has the best selection of guns and accessories around Buford and Flowery Branch. I've never met the owner but whoever they are isn't interested in any wheeling or dealing. Overall the fact that I am about to post this and then head there for some accessories says enough. BTW - they have some sweet guns. read more

Went axe throwing for the first time at Dead Center Axe Throwing (located at the gun range) and it was more fun than expected. The staff were super nice and welcoming. The axe throwing was interactive with a bunch of different games you could play. They had Tic Tac Toe, Memory match games, Zombie and duck hunting games, and a few others. The price was cost effective and they also had some options on Groupon which is honored in store. Definitely enjoyed and would go back. Parking was easy, kids are welcome, definitely a date night option. read more

I went to Dead Center on Aug 2nd for a basic handgun class. It was the BEST class I've ever had! Tá was my instructor and she was AMAZING!! We had so much fun!! She was thorough, patient, extremely knowledgeable and personal. She took her time in her instruction and taught me everything I needed to move forward in my desire to become a wise gun owner. I was extremely nervous but her presence and encouragement was instrumental in helping me finish the class successfully. I would HIGHLY recommend Dead Center for classes and practice and make sure you book Tá, especially if you're a woman. read more

The people here are awesome! Super friendly and happy to answer any questions you might have. The range is great for new shooters as it shows you exactly how far out your target is down range. Great place with great people! read more

This place is my go to Gun shop. Staff are super cool and very friendly. They will take their time helping you when looking to buy stuff. Inventory is top notch. They have cheap stuff for the poors and baller stuff for the more dedicated. Lots of used products at fair prices as well. I'm all about saving some money. read more

We had a great time...I wish I remembered the man's name that came in and gave instruction on how to shoot, stance and everything. Very helpful, we will be back!! read more

Dead Center Indoor Gun Range - Glock - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Small range (compared to others I've visited in Atlanta) but not a bad range at all. The service was surprisingly good. A young lady welcomed me upon arrival which usually isn't my experience going to ranges. Most time the folks are not welcoming at all and it's not unusual to be ignored. They're located in downtown Lawrenceville so I had a bit of a challenge getting a parking space. But that may have been due to me going on a Friday. Their shooting bays are typical shooting bays. They were clean and appeared well-maintained. It was only twelve bucks to shoot so it's a good value. I may get a membership after I've gotten another visit or two in just to check things out a bit more. The last range I was a member of closed down and I have since moved to Lawrenceville, so this will likely be my go-to range. read more

Great place/good people and a lot of good inventory on firearms parts and optics! Nice range also!

Would like to leave ZERO stars Please. I bought my husband a membership as a Fathers Day gift, and our first time in, NO- ONE, even though we told two people it was our first time in, bothered to mention- Not to put holes in their cardboard target - "in certain places" until AFTER our experience. Then, wanted to charge my Veteran husband $50. I explained no one went over Anything with us, I asked for a manager and was told their was no one I can speak with and then she said "You Have to Pay"! She did reduce the fee from $50 to $11. The reason; She said, because the bullet "might" bounce off and put holes in their ceiling or something to that effect. I'm like what, I thought, that's why you practice. So we were charged for a "what if" scenario. "If", you hit the target here... you could.... damage our building. We didn't, and we weren't aware prior by the employees working there. In their restroom, literally, a sign states, if you have a good experience please leave a review, if not, please speak with management. That really didn't work for me. I don't usually spend my time reviewing places, but at the price of their memberships, you would think when you tell (not one, but two different people) that it's your first time in, that they would take the time to explain some basic rules, or do's and do not's of your new found unfamiliar environment. Especially if there is anything you may be charged for in addition. This should have been clear as initially, I was asking quite a few questions already. I'm sorry to say, Not a good first time experience!!! read more

I always have had great service at this location!. Need more stores like this. Once again thanks guys

Great location great staff knowledgeable, and the safety precautions is all a great amenities to this business. Inexpensive and great service. I cannot get enough this place. read more

Team is super friendly and extremelyknowledgeable!!! Spent about 3+hours here! Greatest time a range ever for me!! read more

Was a great experience! They had several options in stock of various pistols I was looking for. Ended up getting a great deal on a new Walther PDP Compact which I had been looking for and no one had! They even let me on the range afterwards to try it out at no cost! Staff was great and friendly! Definitely looking forward to next time! read more

Dead Center Indoor Gun Range - Walther PDP - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Buford, Georgia

the range is okay but be careful on what you buy from there. I spent $1000 on a gun for it to not even shoot. it constantly jamming and they won't do anything about it. glad to know I cant rely on a place to be helpful read more

Very convenient shooting range right in near Buford Highway / Buford drive. Their pricing for the targets are really reasonable at $1 each, and the staff is quite nice. I asked for some advice and they gave it, as well as some additional pointers for me (some of my shooting meant that i had recoil, so to practice, i was informed to put a blank on top of the gun, pull the trigger and make sure the shell doesn't fall off. this will help me with the recoil.) The pricing for the lanes were a little more expensive than other gun ranges in the area (but not as expensive as Georgia Gun @ the mall of Georgia, but more expensive than Trigger time). It looks like they combine the rifle area with the hand gun area, as I was shooting my 9 mm, and a few rows down from me was a guy with his AR shooting off mega rounds. I like how clean and well run the facility is though. The management was nice and knowledgeable. read more

My favorite place to shoot and talk guns with the staff. I have purchased a firearm from them as well. They have a knowledgeable staff who are helpful. read more

Been go there since day one.. As with any biz you're gonna go through staff changes/issues. That said, my overall experience with the management and service has been great. This place is pretty close to my house so I feel a connection, given it's near my 'hood. While their $35. transfer is higher that some of their comps, I'm more than glad to pay it. Really enjoying the axe throwing addition. read more

Apparently 40 minutes isn't enough time to do any business at Dead Center. That's how much time before closing I arrived, just to ask some questions and look at a couple guns. I introduced myself as a first time gun buyer. The man behind the counter seemed peeved that I was there; told me I should get there earlier "for us to be able to help you". He was dismissive and borderline rude; Informed me in no uncertain terms I wouldn't be getting any training there, they're too busy. They got that right- I won't be going back. read more

Although I use another range in Flowery Branch, went down to check out some AR15s and pistols since they have a quite large selection. Really good prices on some tactical rifles and do run sales on bulk ammo. This is a shooting range and a gun store so full service all you need for your home protection, hunting needs. My buddy picked up a nice 1911 my first visit ( ex-marine) and is quite pleased with the deal he got and many options on pistols and rifles at the $500 price point which you need to jump on now ( 2016) before it jacks up for the demand. Lots of deals on Glocks. Will be shopping here to compare to online, Trigger Time or my other fav- Clydes Armory in Athens...Time to buy people. Get trained, get a permit, practice and always think safety. read more

Their are four indoor gun ranges in my surrounding area, I became a member at Dead center indoor gun range because its conveniently located on Buford highway in Buford Georgia and for the lowest prices on guns and ammunition. The staff their are also exceptional and very knowledgeable in firearms and fundamental training. I took a private class with SRO Ta' Pettiford who is a awesome instructor in the fundamental use of firearms, after that class I saw an overwhelming improvement in my shooting skills by starting with the basic fundamental of shooting the class was well worth the $75 I paid because I came away with a lot more than what I expected as well as results. read more

The worst option I went last week and it took me awhile to cool down. I will never go again 1) they change rules as they go. They told me over the phone that there were lanes available. I get there and told nope sorry. It is an hour and a half before we close but "too bad you called ahead, you ain't shooting today" (exact words of the lady behind the counter.) 2) all the one star and two star reviews aren't lying: customer service is atrocious. Lots of other options, Go elsewhere. read more

These guys are great. They are very helpful and close to where I live. The other ranges are closer to Lawrenceville and traffic is congested. Their ammo is reasonable priced and available in this COVID season where ammo is hard to find and high priced. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful when I have questions. The also offer handgun classes and "Know the Law" classes; which are important to know your rights and obligations if you do have to fire your gun. They also have used firearms as well as new rifles and new pistols. They also rent pistols if you want to try one out before purchasing. Great folks and very professional. I highly recommend them. read more

Dead Center Indoor Gun Range - Ten rounds at 7 yards. - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Marks the only guy there worth a shit, he's super friendly and very informative and he's usually there when I decide to pop in. Well the other day he wasn't, there's a guy he's got those eyes yanno, real shit employee, doesn't help at all and tries to sell you on more expensive guns out of your comfort level read more

What a great bunch of people. Everyone knows the products they sell and give very good advice. I walked in the door a customer, left feeling like a friend. I enrolled in the range membership and I can go shoot without reaching in my pocket every time. They have an Axe Range too. Great place to have fun. Definitely stop in and say hi. read more

Really wanted to like this place because it is close to where we live BUT customer service is so important to us that we will be driving past this place to somewhere that rewards both it's male and female customers a little more equally. I was treated fine on my initial solo visit - came back later with my wife and she was largely ignored. I've heard gun shops were notorious for treating women condescendingly but hadn't experienced it until I went here with my wife. The counter attendant actually left us to go help someone else in the middle of her asking questions! I know what you're thinking and no, they were not busy and no, "please excuse me while I see if this other person needs help" did not seem to be considered. He literally just walked off. Unfortunately for them, we were shopping for her, so, no, cannot recommend - which is a shame because the gun range looked promising and its very close to us. read more

I'm pretty spoiled living close to several ranges. Today was my first time shooting here. Clean facility. Friendly staff/range officer. Very reasonable prices. Most importantly, no wait! Walked in and was shooting within minutes. I will definitely be back. read more

Staff was overbearing and cost was overpriced. Do not recommend if you prefer to be disrespected by staff.

So when I get the guy behind the counter tells me that every hole that is shot over a black line I will get a charged $1. I thought he was joking as he was laughing and smiling when he told us. When we checked out I was charged $6. Seriously? I thought he was trying to be funny. I been to different ranges and have never encountered such a policy. I spoke with a manager Jim and he said it was because anything over the black line can damage the ceiling. If that is truly a concern then you have a problem with the design of your facility. That's not my problem. $6 wasn't the issue, the issue was the ridiculous policy and they are serious. They want their money! So over this policy guess I won't be returning. Trigger Time in Flowery Branch is great, Range Guns and Safe's, is also a great facility without this policy. Lost my range business and any future purchases. read more

We love this gun range. They have specials for different days, so it's very affordable. They are always very helpful too.

Dead Center has a great indoor gun range. It's great because you don't have to have much interaction with the staff. My past two trips to Dead Center, the customer service was less than stellar. I needed to have a sight replaced on a pistol. I e-mailed the pro shop with the model of the gun and what I needed to have done. I asked if they could preform this and if so could I get an estimate on the cost. I got a response saying yes they could do it and it would be 20 to 35 dollars. When I got to the store I was told they could not do it. Wasted trip. Wasted Time. As mentioned, The range is nice and relatively affordable, but the staff leave something to be desired. If you just want to fire off some rounds yeah go for it. If you are in the market for a fire arm or ammo or supplies or to have a some simple work done keep driving. read more

Very nice place, big, well lit, nice staff. Lots of ranges for shooting. Nicest gun range around! read more

I will not go to any other range. When visiting the parents (home from college) I always stop by and spend some quality time on the range. Knowledgeable staff (most are Glock guys) who really know their stuff. Bought my first (and soon second) handguns here. As previously mentioned, clean and well lit range with good air circulation. Thanks guys. read more

My dad and I took the Basic Handgun Safety and Marksmanship Course with Terrance about a month ago. It is expensive but it was a fun and informative. We only had 5 people in our class which made it more personal. We now have made an effort to shoot there on Thursdays for their free gun rentals. Their staff has been a huge help in our process of choosing the right gun for each of us. We just adore Ta' and look forward to talking with her and Terrance everytime we go! I owe them so much for all their time, advice, generosity and especially their patience with me. read more

This is probably a fine place to shoot if you know your way around a gun range and if you're familiar with shooting. If you are a newbie however, go elsewhere. My husband brought me to Dead Center yesterday and we quickly discovered the blonde female that works there is not interested in helping anyone learn. She was very disconnected with us and had a rather "stuck-up" attitude. Sadly, she missed a great opportunity to share her love of guns and shooting with someone new (and to one day sell both my husband and I guns). I am happy to drive to the other side of town to their very friendly and helpful competitor. read more

Wide selection, friendly knowledgeable staff, by far one of the best ranges around! Will definitely be back for my next firearm!

Bought a .45 here thought the customer service was great. Explained what I was after and they explained why my logic was flawed in perfectly reasonable terms which resulted in me spending less but buying the right things instead of wasting my money. I walked away within my budget and extremely happy after shooting it. I would absolutely send a new shooter their direction without worrying. They were also extremely well priced very comparable to major online retailers in my case $40 cheaper than buds. Great crew here. read more

Was pleasantly surprised with the service here. Have bought a few things here with good results , but checked with them on doing a fairly complex NFA transfer and they walked me through it as if they were my neighbor. It requires multiple tax stamps, and multiple questions on my part, but they spent 20 minutes with me going over all the details and options. This was for a transfer that nets them a relatively small return, but really helped me. Just got the feeling they like what they do and want to help. Great service! read more

Bought a great conceal weapon. Worked with Charles. He was very helpful. Asked a lot of question and made sure we narrowed it down from 7 to 5 to 4 to 2 and finally I made that final decision. The Ruger. Thanks read more

Clean, state of the art, and friendly. Great for the family!
