Came to XCAL on my birthday after hearing good things about this massive 95,000 sq ft sports…read morecenter, plus indoor gun range! Talk about a fun two-in-one combo! As a budding gun enthusiast and someone who's new to shooting (2 years in), I've been looking for places to get target practice in and to improve my skills. XCAL is the nicest gun range I've ever been to! The facility is only a couple years old, so everything is still shiny and new. I arrived here on a Tuesday late afternoon around 4ish and there was already a line. Seems like a popular place, so get here early if you want to avoid lines! While I was waiting, I checked out their retail area. The counter staff was very knowledgeable about all the guns I asked about and had helpful suggestions on other options that they though I would like. When my lane was ready, they called my name on the intercom. The staff who helped check me in was also super friendly and asked me how my day was. I told her it was my birthday! She threw in a free target with balloons on it! I asked to rent a PCC and full automatic glock with a couple boxes of ammo. They said the glock rental was on the house for my birthday! Sweet! Normally full automatic glock rentals are about $85. I ended up paying for the PCC rental, a couple boxes of ammo, plus eye and ear protection (about $109 in total. this included ear/eye protection for my wife who joined me in the range). The full automatic glock was incredibly fun to shoot! I felt like I was in a John Wick movie! I highly recommend trying it out. The range staff took all the helpful safety precautions on site, including for this particular gun. A range safety officer was required to be next to me to use the full auto, and loaded the magazine for me. For the PCC, I was able to load it myself. Best range experience I've ever had! The facilities were state of the art and all the staff were so helpful.

The facility was really nice and modern. The space was well lit and clean. Seating available while…read moreyou wait. They have a store to buy products. They have a classroom to watch the safety video, etc. Parking is available (seemed like a good amount of spots). There are a lot of people so plan to be there early if you want to get a lane. We eventually got to shoot, and the staff were nice. It was cool to see the lanes from a live screen vs through glass. They also grouped lanes by like clusters of 3 then door(s) to the next set of rows - I assume it helps sound compared to a whole open space. I think it's a decent price for what you're getting (service/facilities). We did have like 4 people share a lane since they didn't have more open so the amount of shooting time was limited per person. They had a chair or bench in the room so we could put our cases and equipment down.

Great experience at 340 Defense. From top to bottom. Great range, great staff, great RSOs, and even…read morethe other patrons were relaxed and friendly. Shout out to Robert the RSO for coming by and chatting, and giving me tips on how to zero my rifle. Didn't catch the name of the guy at the counter, but he was great too. Me and my wife went for the non-member, hourly rate. We probably spent about 3 hours there ($45/hour, per person), but he ended up only charging me for the time, and said my wife didn't have to pay "since she didn't shoot too much" (although she definitely did). Ranges were at 15 yards, 50 yards, 100 yards, and 300 yards (members only for the 300 range). Site had restrooms and water. Don't see how anyone could have a bad time here. RSOs were extremely chill and were always respectful (unlike RSOs at other ranges I've been to). Ranges were very cooperative, unlike anything I've seen at other places. Patrons are largely in control of going hot and cold, as long as every just gives the thumbs up, they're not timed or anything. Will definitely return, and probably look to become a member. They offer veteran discounts on membership too.

I'm listing it as 5 stars, but I don't really have anything to compare it against to say if this is…read moreany better than any similar places, but I don't think there are any similar places nearby. IWLA is a great place for outdoor activities. You have to be a member or a guest of a member, but I have totally gotten my money's worth out of the membership. Here at the Loudoun Chapter, they have a rifle and pistol range, a skeet range, a static archery range, a dynamic archery range, and a stocked lake for fishing. All the ranges are outdoor ranges. The Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC) on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from 1 to 4 p.m. is excellent. Dan Davis is a great teacher. They rotate topics - archery, rifle, pistol, and shotgun. They provide all the firearms, the ammunition, the clays (for the shotgun class), and instruct the kids on safety and range rules and walk them through a course of fire on the range. Kids that shoot well enough can earn an NRA Marksmanship award. NRA certified classes cost less if you are an IWLA member.

Trained with Scott and Frank, and had an absolute blast (pun intended)…read more Highlights and notes: - excellent pacing and smaller classes make it easy for people of all experience levels to have a good time. - instructors are very nice and helpful, providing constructive feedback on body position, trigger work, movement, staying relaxed, etc. - the range is not covered, so sunscreen is recommended, and you'll have to help clean up brass afterwards, so I'd suggest bringing gloves as well. - Water is provided, but pack extra drinks for hotter days. You'll be shooting outdoors for 6hrs straight with minimal breaks, so be sure to fuel up appropriately with a BYO lunch and snacks as needed. In summary: if you're looking to take your shooting skills to the next level, I highly recommend these guys - I had an excellent time and will definitely be back!

So found Loudoun Tactical through Facebook Ads in 2021 and was always interested in taking a class,…read morebut felt insecure as I never had any real training other than friends giving me tips and advice. My wife surprised me with a Red Dot pistol course as an early Christmas Present in November of 2021. Now, I looked them up, saw a sketch Reddit thread, but it was already paid for and gave them a shot. I approached the class as the newest shooter and definitely insecure about my ability. Every one looked experienced and based on early conversations, the other classmates had taken classes before with them. Our instructors was Andy, the founder and one of his principal instructors, Scott. They were intimidating but friendly. Started off with a classroom session learning about Red Dot optics on pistols and it was very informative. As we moved into the actual shooting portion, I was full of nerves and insecurity. Judging on the first drill, I was out of my league in terms of skill compared to the other students. But to my surprise, Scott and Andy were really encouraging and supportive. My insecurities began to fade away and I started to feel more confident in my ability. Lots of positive feedback and encouragement throughout the day. From when I started to when I ended the day, my shooting was night and day difference. Lots of positive feedback and criticism to help me improve. At the end of the day, I had such a blast and great time. So great that I signed up for a rifle 1 course and last weekend, the rifle and pistol 1 course. I have learned so much, had fun, and become a better shooter. Andy and his Cadre have been nothing but supportive, fun and informative. Im already planning to take more courses and improve my shooting more. They really make it fun and engaging and ensure you learn. They're extremely patient with students trying to learn and boost your ego with a lot of positive reinforcement. I have absolutely no regrets about any of my three experiences and have planned more courses in the future. If you're on the fence, do it. If you read the reddit review, ignore it! You will not be disappointed with your experience from beginning to end.

One can shoot from .5 yards to 25 yards and anywhere in between. The shop itself is very well stocked, with a focus on popular brands like Sig Sauer, Glock and Staccato to name a few. They also have an excellent selection of both pistols and rifles available to rent, including fully automatic rifles (always with close supervision by the staff). The staff itself is pretty constantly in flux, with people working to gain experience in firearms and then moving on to higher paying jobs. For quite a few young people it's a springboard to a job in law enforcement. The really cool part is how thats managed by the owners and their awesome senior staff at management positions in the store. New hires are always a certain type of person, management seeks candidates who have good people skills, are personable , knowledgeable about firearms and firearms safety, and are overall friendly hardworking folks. I've bought several pistols from them, and every transaction has been smooth and simple. The members are also widely diverse and friendly, it's not at all unusual to ask others if they'd care to shoot another member's new gun. People get along. It's kind of ironic though because you have a range full of very diverse people who are all shooting guns, and yet it's peaceful, everybody treats everyone else with respect. When I bought my first pistol there, I had no real idea what I was doing. Several staff members and a few members that I became friends with, essentially taught me how to shoot. I highly recommend this range. Did I mention that members shoot as often as they like and all rentals are free although you must pay for the ammo. This includes full auto firearms every Wednesday

I placed an online order through their portal but needed to cancel it before picking it up. Because…read moreI requested the cancellation prior to fulfillment, the merchandise never left their shop. Despite submitting the cancellation, I never received a confirmation email.

At this point, the business is holding my money for an order I never picked up and explicitly canceled. I am highly disappointed with the complete lack of customer service and communication. I will be forced to dispute this charge with my bank if management does not respond and issue my refund immediately.

My wife brought me to GUNTRY for my birthday, and it was an awesome experience from start to finish. We kicked things off with a simulation session, which was so cool. I am already planning to do it again. The shock pack that zaps you when you get hit is wild. It is a little crazy, but honestly really fun to try. We spent an hour at the range afterward. It is definitely loud and a bit tight, but it gets the job done. The staff was friendly, patient, and very helpful the whole time. The retail shop is huge too, with tons of firearms and accessories to browse. We ended the night at their cigar and whisky event, and that was a great time. The whisky was strong and plentiful, and dinner was delicious. It was all catered in house by the cafe. Pricing is pretty reasonable overall. Their lesson rates seem lower than a lot of other places I have seen, although I have not had a chance to take one yet. My only complaint is that I wish it were closer. I live in DC, so it is definitely a trek, but it was worth the drive.
