I grew up around guns and had a basic knowledge of gun safety, usage, and handling. When I moved…read morefrom Maryland six years ago I thought about getting a concealed carry permit for two reasons: 1- Just because (Maryland is almost impossible) and 2- To get formal instruction on proper handling of a gun. My wife mentioned she had a friend who was a certified firearms instructor so we both signed up. I cannot describe how right Joanne was for both my wife and me. She handled my wife, who had never fired a gun, with great sensitivity while helping her with her beginner questions and fears. Her clear and concise instructions, particularly on ALL and ANY safety matters, are wonderful as well as her handling elementary questions without making one (me) feel like a dunce. Her four basic safety rules should be required memorization and the practice of all who handle a gun. I cannot recommend Joanne more highly for anyone and everyone who either wants simply formal instructions or is seeking a Concealed Carry Permit, Her professionalism and demeanor are totally first-class.

If you are in or around Orlando, maybe on vacation, or even a business trip, take a couple of hours…read moreand skip the Parks, pass on 9 holes, get to Decision Tactical. Bring Friends and family. This is not fancy Laser tag. This is the "Holodeck". This is an immersive, 3 dimensional, 360 degree, adrenaline pumping, training range, without using live ammunition. If you have never held a gun in your life, you will come out understanding them and their use. You will learn some practical skills that could save your life and the lives of loved ones around you. This is not boring classroom stuff. This is fun, engaging, immersive, and very educational. I don't care what skill level you have with pistols, CQB, room clearing, house clearing, IPSC, IDPA, Three-Gun, ...whatever, you will be challenged and learn something new. Our guide Ryan (Cowboy) was amazing. He kept it fun, moving and light, with just enough coaching to help you learn without feeling like you failed something. He was very energetic and engaging, although he should probably switch to decaf after lunch. The restaurant/bar was clean and inviting. There is a play area for littler ones. It is the whole package! I am in Orlando a couple times a year, and this will be one of my regular stops. I recommend making a reservation and buying tickets there once you decide what experiences you want to leave with.

Everything is safe and explained well. We enjoyed the situation rooms, the range, the safety techniques and especially the comp course and the Underground cages! What a great place to have a party. They have a private area with billiards, cornhole, darts, lots of seating and they have a great restaurant and bar. They have happy hour! Food and drink specials. See pics. Parking is free and plentiful. They have water fountains throughout. Bathrooms are super clean. Lockers are free for use and have lock and key mechanism. You can use Groupon or Viator for a deal. They have memberships! Some memberships include CCA. They have veteran perks like events etc. I really love this place. It's a fun thing to do and it's safe for everyone. They're co2 loaded cartridges but they're real guns. So anyone can come and learn. The professionals can come and train, too. You can set it up like a competition or just for gun handling experience. It's all up to you. I will be back when the new rooms open!

OK, I rarely do reviews and I don't like people that do negative reviews just for the hell of it,…read morebut I feel I have to speak up. I am a resident of DeLand and have used Steel Fox (SF) firearms before to purchase ammunition and as my local FFL. Every time I go in to the store, there is a negative feeling. I don't know how to explain it. I feel as if all eyes are on me and I am not welcome. Now, let me clarify, I do get this feeling at other firearms stores, so maybe it's just their MO, but it is amplified at SF. I usually let this go, and just do my business since they are close by and usually have the ammunition that I need. Unfortunately a little over a week ago I was prepared to purchase, not come in and kick the tires, purchase a Glock 43 for my wife. I called them, they had one in stock, I said "please throw my name on it and I will be right over". The girl said well, we can't put a name unless you put a credit card down on it. Unfortunately I was in the back 40 of my property and didn't have my wallet on me, but figured that it would be fine. I can't say that this is all their fault. You know the ending of the story....I drove to SF to purchase the firearm, and they sold it. Yes, I know 2020 is a weird year and firearms are going like hotcakes, but in all honesty she knew I was a serious customer and if she had any thoughts on it selling immediately she should have told me "no, sir you should really get your credit card and put it on as these are going fast". That was not said to me, I assumed it would be there and it wasn't. I get that part of it. 2020 is a strange year and nothing is in stock, and if it is,.... it's not in stock long. That does not take away the fact that the customer service at SF is lackluster at best. I feel they are extremely rude and not the least bit helpful when clientele walk in. People are always just standing around and staring aimlessly at the wall. It's an uncomfortable experience. The dog is the best part of my visit since she loves to come and lean up against your leg and get love. If it wasn't for the dog, the experience would be 100% dark and uncomfortable.

I have had formal training previously for my NY Guard license so I was familiar with what could be expected. I can easily state that the training I received from CFI was excellent! It was a no nonsense hands on series of lectures, videos and handouts with a series of written tests ending with testing at the range. To their credit, one of my classmates failed the range test so it was evident that the company takes the training very seriously. The icing on the cake came when I began receiving calls and emails from Security Guard agencies who obtained my name from CFI (they have a signup sheet where I gave them permission to market me). The cost of the classes are very reasonable for the amount of hours required and I will be paid back within a few days of work with the agencies they gave my name to!

This range is private range (NRA Membership Required) and offers annual memberships at a very reasonable price. 11 pistol bays, 100, 200, 300 yard Rifle Range, and a separate 1500 yd. Rifle Range. They are plans to add some 5 additional pistol bays in 2013. Every weekend has some kind of competition shooting event, with dedicated pistol bays reserved just for members to use while the matches are going on. Great idea! USPSA, IDPA, ICORE, Defensive Carbine Rifle, 22 caliber Fun Match, Steel Challenge and 3 Gun as well as private training for guys like me that need instructional classes. Great place to just go with the kids, and very friendly members and staff make this a must see in Central Florida. Highly recommended!!

The instructor is unprofessional, dragged a 4 hr class to over 5hrs, and starts the class by saying…read more"I'm going to push buttons to see if you have the temperament of someone who should have a CCW". Then he proceeds to share bigoted views about Black Americans and other people of color, anti LGBTQ statements, and sexist remarks, and reminds the class frequently that if anyone gets upset by what he says, he won't give them their certificate. I sat through a 5+ hr class of hate speech and couldn't do anything about it without losing the money I paid. The 30 mins we covered CCW laws felt rushed and I didn't feel comfortable asking questions and risk getting an answer that was based in racism. He also spent a lot of time disparaging George Floyd and Trayvon Martin while empathizing with police who are facing charges in the case of George Floyd, and sharing a personal theory of how he believes that both Floyd and Martin caused their own deaths. It was incredibly distasteful and traumatic.

At the conclusion of the class, the instructor, Charles Powers offered to take us to the gun range at a future date for $105.93. We accepted and paid in the classroom via credit card. Mr. Powers neglected to provide a receipt. We were originally scheduled to attend the gun range on August 25th; however, Mr. Powers never confirmed or advised us regarding the gun range's location. We then rescheduled with Mr. Powers for November 10th. Mr. Powers again never confirmed or advised us regarding the gun range's location. One week later, Mr. Powers finally advised that he had to cancel our appointment due to family obligations. He reached out to reschedule on November 18th; however, Mr. Powers was unresponsive. On November 24th, we requested a refund, as it had become apparent that the gun range expedition would not occur. Despite numerous assurance via telephone that we would be refunded the full amount of our purchase and repeated follow-ups on January 13th and January 29th, Mr. Powers still has not issued a refund. Today, for the first time, Mr. Powers has indicated that although he was "in process of refunding" us, he is now taking the position that the purchase is non-refundable, despite failing to communicate this at the time of purchase or at any time since. I would strongly recommend avoiding this business, which in my experience is extremely unprofessional and unreliable.

I came out with my wife for a private shooting instruction, and tried various handguns. There is a membership that is under $400 to start for the year, there are public days here too, and those are days when there is a crowd and you may have to wait a while to shoot. You bring your own gun, ammunition, and targets so you're using your own product. There are some rules that you must obey, or you'll be asked to leave. Bring some earplugs and eyegear whether it's your everyday glasses or some eye protection, as you don't want to suffer temporary deafness or get anything in your eyes. Fun fact, due to the range being rural, you will see some wildlife, whether on the path to the range, or on the range itself. No you can't shoot the wildlife!
