I cannot rant and rave enough about this place, if you have a pulse, you need to come here and do…read morethis experience - hands down this is worth its weight in gold. This is such great, practical, and valuable "shooting," safety, and response training that feels very much like real life scenarios with how immersive it is, that I genuinely feel like this should actually be implemented as something you're strongly encouraged to do if you're going to carry at all. I came here for my first time and purchased the Bill Drill. Don't cheap out, believe me it's worth it. I would not recommend doing anything lower than that because trust me you will WANT to be able to run through 5 experience rounds, probably more let's be honest and if so, you can add more). Initial first experience is a range session for safety / weapon handling training which is so fun and gets your feet wet / ready for what to expect handling the firearm moving forward. Whether or not it's your first time handling a weapon this is so valuable and IF you are new to it, this is amazing, there's no danger here and you're getting great training instruction. Additionally, you are made to treat this like a weapon of destruction even if it isn't real, because they want you to absolutely feel like it is, have that muscle memory that if you ever do have a real world situation where you have to recall this experience, you will know what to do and you're taking it seriously, always. There is not a big like real firearms of course, but there is sound and c02 so you are definitely still feeling the feedback of the recoil, and the simulators also give gunshot sounds. So cool. Immersive scenarios like: a home invasion where you're responding as a police officer, a mall scenario with active shooters, a street / diner scenario responding as a strapped civilian, and comp training where you're moving through an obstacle space and everything is a target. Every single scenario is so much fun. You have to keep your head on a swivel. You have to ask for weapons to be dropped, you're scanning for threats and protecting the innocent making sure you're getting the bad guys only. However - we ended up choosing to do the Comp Obstacle an second time because it's timed, you're truly testing out aim / accuracy, response, you're HUSTLING - like, actually after two times I was out of breath lol 10/10 all the way around. I will say - if you've done that before and you're back again or you're not sure if the scenarios are for you, I also highly HIGHLY recommend the Underground if you're just wanting to shoot targets and run about as tactfully as you can, whilst racing against the time. You definitely challenge yourself and it's still very immersive! That's now my favorite! Bar & Grill for food - don't skip it, full bar, seltzers, beers on tap, it's all here. The food is so good I think I'll be craving these wings again and again, we got sweet teriyaki, thank me later! The Buffalo Chicken Wrap & Patriot Burger, bartender friendliness and service, all of it five stars. The Whiskey Sliders ?! omg that dill aioli is INCREDIBLE! I feel like those are the go-to if you don't want wings, just sayin! Last but certainly not least, the way veterans are honored here will bring tears to your eyes. It did ours. There are mindful and thoughtful PTSD trigger warnings upon initiation of entry, there is a Wall of Honor that has a projection of photos that people can upload of loved ones who have served - there's a QR code and you can add yours (it takes up to 48hrs to show) but it's on there forever. Veterans get green colored dog tags instead of the black ones. Every third Tuesday there is a Veteran meet up. These are just things I've noticed, I'm sure it all goes so much deeper than these things. That bit though is very special. Love this place! Just wanted to also shout out by name some of our favorite people we've been in contact with throughout the last month i've been going because yes of course I became a member (lowest tier, $60 a month and you can go M-thursday) Charlene at check in is the most friendly and helpful, you're bound to be besties with her when you meet it's just a thing. Also - the Range training / instructors Seth, Alex, and Buck - so freaking cool. Everyone is so easy to talk to, so informative and knowledgeable, they really help encourage you and also educate you on things throughout your visit, increasing your confidence and definitely making the whole thing just a really great experience!

I love going to the range, shooting, and learning tactics. It was easy to find with a huge parking lot out front. The check-in process was smooth because we completed forms in advance. We were given dog tags that track our experience. We waited for a few minutes for 2 others that joined our group that we didn't know. We walked through metal detectors, given gear, and informed on safety parameters. The experience we had was 3 different things. We started in the range where we were given different challenges to complete. I was a pretty good shot! Our next experience was responding to a domestic violence call as a police officer. That was intense! My boyfriend and I were able to do that scenario together. The third was a timed course that each of us do individually. There were lots going on, places to look for targets, and some fast pace moves! I was proud that I atleast did not come in last place. They offer monthly memberships. We dined at the sports bar in the front. I got to say the drinks were ice cold and the food was very good! I would definitely come back here!

*** 500th Review! ***…read more Depending on who you believe from the online universe, the Avatar Course from Star's Edge International is either the most miraculous self-help breakthrough of our time, or an opaque Scientology-inspired pyramid scheme cult. After attending their "ReSurfacing" weekend course at the request - okay, insistence - of a friend who is an Avatar "Master,"* my impression was much closer to the former than the latter. I thought it was a brilliantly designed - and harmless - combination of meditative visualizations, Zen Buddhism, free will philosophy and cognitive behavior therapy, delivered in a supportive group setting with a very low student-faculty ratio. It also required enduring the occasional dose of 1960s hippie talk. The ReSurfacing course teaches by asking students questions: good questions and lots of them, numbering in the hundreds. Questions about students' lives, experiences, opinions, and beliefs. It's incredibly eye- (and mind-) opening. The course materials could have just told me "you can't predict more than 30% of what will make you happy, the beliefs trusted people have instilled in you are often more accurate than the things you've chosen to believe yourself, and you must follow your passions," but it was a heck of a lot more persuasive to have me answer and discuss tons of questions that led to these conclusions. (Dale Carnegie fans: this teaching method is similar to Carnegie's idea of asking the other person questions and getting them to say "yes, yes." ) Though probably half of the Avatar course materials are confidential, the ReSurfacing workbook that we used is not: you can buy it on Amazon for under $15. Somewhat curiously, the "play by play" list of course activities for the weekend was confidential, and I was asked to return it at the end of the course. It was nothing more than a list of what order we did the exercises in and when we interspersed them with videos of Harry Palmer talks and readings from Palmer's other books. Anyway, none of the material struck me as particularly scary (the videos are mostly on YouTube), and it all had the tone of a particularly good talk radio host or preacher. The biggest takeaway was that we largely function through our beliefs and identities, but that we have more control over our thoughts and beliefs - and thus actions - than we might think. It sounds fluffy but when you are made to lay it out in detail about your own life it's very powerful. --- End of basic review. You can probably stop reading here --- Now, if you're interested enough to be reading this far, let me share my research and experience regarding anti-Avatar material on the internet: - Founder Harry Palmer is said to have run a Scientology mission for 15 years. In his book, Living Deliberately, he actually poo-poos Scientology quite a bit. I'd be surprised if Avatar shared Scientology's anti-meds views; organizers told students to continue taking meds (but not street drugs or alcohol) in the course, and asked if students were seeing therapists - so they could get the professional's permission. Having said that, I couldn't help but cringe when Living Deliberately put psychotherapy and Dianetics in the same bucket (page 96 if you're curious). - Palmer also supposedly used to call himself an educational psychologist, and claimed he had studied a different major in college than he actually did. The Avatar materials don't say this anymore after dispute with a disaffected former Avatar trainer. - I've been told that Avatar is run as a multilevel marketing operation, where existing Masters recruit new students and make money when people agree to take the courses, whose material is partly "secret." I wish it were run more like Kaplan, a for-profit business of test prep courses with only copyright protection to help them with their secrets. But none of the Masters I met at the course seemed to be doing this for the money. - The price curve is indeed weird: Part I: ReSurfacing (the only part I took), 2 days, $300. Part II, 4-5 more days, $500. Part III: 2 more days, $1500. - Some of the Avatar bashing might be based on quite simple misunderstanding. One of the anti-Avatar sites: (see all linked pages from here: http://jeta.home.xs4all.nl/avatar/avatar-too-many-spirits.html) argues that Avatar is offering exorcisms of dead spirits called entities. But these "entities" are probably what mainstream best-selling author and psychiatrist Daniel Amen calls "automatic negative thoughts." Amen is not a Scientologist or Avatar. - And yes, Avatar is based in FL but incorporated in DE. Pretty standard for US businesses avoiding taxes. * An Avatar Master is someone who's completed their first two full courses.
