Unfortunately, I am posting this based off events that took place AFTER my class. The class was…read morefine, very crammed but it was exactly what you would expect. I misplaced (now found) my certificate that Scott signed and asked for them to forward me the copy they had (they make you sign two copies and tell you to reach out if you ever need it). They were unable to locate my information. After several less than professional emails back and forth I was just done. I decided I'd post a review on Facebook to catch their attention that I really needed their help and now that they got my money they were not helping me. This is when their unprofessional attitude came out even more... They replied with snarky remark saying I didn't pass my shooting class and for public safety I would lose my gun like I did with my certificate. I was shocked and went on a mass hunt for my certificate and found it! I sent them a private message asking for an apology for lying and not just apologizing and helping me before I posted pictures proving they were lying. It became clear after about 15 more comments of "satisfied" groupon customers to cover up his prior comment that he would not be apologizing and I just needed to end the conversation. It is what it is, they are unhelpful and unprofessional but I feel I need to make others aware it's all good and gravy until your unhappy... Then they attack you and refuse to help! He has continued to delete his comments and rewrite different attacking comments! I recommend reading all reviews, I see others saying communication was very unprofessional and people were ignored too!

This is a multi year review…read more I've been going to KranzFTG for most of his classes (from beginner pistol all the way through to Advanced 1&2, Carbine, etc). Jeff and his instructors are incredibly professional, knowledgeable and experienced. Anyone who owns a gun and hasn't been to some training absolutely needs to take his classes. For beginners you can literally show up with a brand new gun still in the box and they'll walk you through everything in his Handgun 101 class. For experienced shooters, look at Advanced Handgun, and Carbine classes. I've shot at training courses in CA, NV and here in north TX and Kranz is among the best. Friendly, has great expertise to pass along and you're absolutely walking away more experienced and ready.

We will definitely be coming back next time we're in town and purchasing a membership!

I was very disappointed with my recent experience at Shoot Smart West Freeway…read more Since the range was remodeled, they have removed the flat shooting bench or countertop that used to be in each lane. That surface gave you a safe, convenient place to lay your firearm between loads while keeping it pointed downrange. The only surface available to us was a small Rubbermaid-style cart about three and a half feet tall. This made working with and sighting in long guns extremely awkward and nearly impossible. The range was also uncomfortably hot. An employee explained that the air conditioning was running on high, but the exhaust system that removes gun smoke and fumes also pulls the cooled air out almost as quickly as it enters. I understand the importance of proper ventilation, but the temperature made shooting very uncomfortable. The retail inventory was also ridiculously understocked. I was looking for tinted shooting glasses, magazines for several firearms, speed loaders, and a barrel-cooling fan so I could safely cool my rifle before returning it to its case. They had none of these items. When I asked about the lack of merchandise, an employee told me their inventory manager was not doing a very good job. On the positive side, all the employees were friendly and courteous. The gunsmith was especially helpful and was able to sight in the rifle I had been struggling with very quickly. Unfortunately, friendly employees and a capable gunsmith were not enough to overcome the poor range setup, excessive heat, and severely limited inventory. I will be trying a different shooting range the next time I go shooting.

Dually noted, at times they have to deal with people whom cant follow rules put in place for safety reasons. For this reason some arent utterly laid back: understandable right! Ive always found that the target backboards to be in good shape. The benches at 25 and 50 are good and sturdy. The 100 yard benches in my opinion wobble a bit, but are acceptable unless your neighbor is shooting a magnum caliber. I do wish they had a 200 yard range. I have found myself driving to decatur to shoot beyond 100. When its cold out they typically have a burn barrel with a fire going. *There are numerous Donald Trump signs on property, snowflakes beware. Get some wobble out of 100 yard benches, add a 200 yard lane, and my rating goes to 5 stars.

I am not sure if I can make a good grip on a pistol, but would like to see if it's even possible.

I have experience in overcoming severe traumatic brain injury, but it's not a bad situation for me or my family and friends.

It's a little parcel of land and I applaud the owners for providing an entrepreneurial service where they likely don't make a ton of money. I'm sure with some time and a little more income to expand / improve this will become even more popular. The class was held at a local restaurant/convenience store party room. It's handy, comfortable enough, the instructor has his act together and there is room for discussion, levity and conversation about self-defense, when to use force, when not to, when you can but should you etc... As it's attached to a convenience store, you've access to whatever you could possibly need and the bathrooms are clean!! (for you lady folk that may consider this). The range is a short 10 min drive and breaks up the middle of class and sets up nicely for a lunch break. As far as being "tea partiers" or whatnot, I take umbrage at that statement. Not a single person in our class (including the two ladies or instructor) gave off a "shoot first ask questions later vibe" or even anything political, aside from why we're all there to exercise our 2nd amendment rights. Shooing citizens away from firearms, safety, use of force and the very consistent message that deadly force is the last option makes me question the previous review and whether they actually attended this class or not. For the record, I'm a card carrying Libertarian and have zero to do with the "tea partiers". Epic fail bringing politics into firearm safety and carry / concealed instruction in the great state of Texas.

The class is in what looks like a Tuff shed filled with some really uncomfortable folding chairs. It's a bare-bones set up with apparently no heat and no A/C and only ONE toilet. The parking is across the highway so wear your running shoes to keep from getting mowed down to get into the building. The classes are quite large - ours was about 50 people. There are only 3 loaner guns so you should definitely bring your own. It had rained a couple of days before and the shooting range where we had to take our shooting test was a mud pit.
