    Where do I even start.... for starters this place is 10 out of 10 in customer service and making…read moreyou feel at home and part of the family! From the start of the whole experience the person who actually gave me the time of day and common courtesy unlike other establishments was Allie she was considerate and well informed about the specific gun I was inquiring about and even went out of her way to contact their distributor to get her hands on one. As soon as she got her hands on one she gave me a call and said I had first dibs basically and that I had a few days to reserve it before she called anyone else on the wait list which is more then anyone could ask for. Same day she called I went in to reserve the gun for purchase. Upon meeting her in person as well as Max it was a very pleasant and welcoming introduction/environment store is well kept gun displays are super clean and everything really uniform and presentable. As soon as I started to talk she knew who I was and went to grab the firearm. Her and Max were letting me get a feel for the gun(the break, slide release etc)then I started to ask about other guns and they immediately pointed me in the direction of other guns and one I might like better upon my request of their recommendation. This was my first gun purchase and wanted to make the right decision and with their knowledge and reasoning as to why I should choose this particular gun I was sold. Only thing keeping me from making a quicker decision was just the fact I really liked the look of my first choice but with enough time and comparison of both of them in my hands and testing out different things I ended up changing my mind to the 2nd choice. They immediately grabbed me a brand new one opened it for me and let me be the first to handle it which for me was just the icing on the cake for my first time Experience. Being there in that environment with such friendly people with the conversation and tips and recommendations I couldn't Recommend this shop more to anyone. I will 100% be back and tell anyone I know who is ready for a firearm purchase to come here because they deserve the business because they go out of their way to earn it. Thanks again Allie for all your help as well as max and thanks a ton to you guys for Lugging that big Barrett Sniper out of its hard case to let me hold it. Again just reaffirming to how awesome of a first experience it was and look forward to going back!

    Love this place & the staff. Allie is the best. She's very helpful & friendly as well. I think I…read morefound my go to "Toy" store.

That first call confirmed everything. No sales pressure, no rushed scripts--just patient, expert guidance delivered with sharp professionalism. Christen has that rare ability to make logistics feel effortless. Bill -- Day One Instructor Thirty-five years in martial arts and military service teaches you to spot the genuine article. Bill is the genuine article--a warrior-scholar who floods the room with knowledge yet never loses precision. He holds nothing back, yet trusts the process: stay attentive, and he'll illuminate every scenario you imagined asking about. In six decades, I've encountered exactly two people who wield supreme confidence alongside authentic passion and compassion. Bill became the third. Brandon -- Day Two Range Master Eight more hours. Zero diminishment. Brandon operates with relentless dedication--he simply refuses to let you fail. He demonstrates precisely how it's done, then teaches you to learn the right way: patient, methodical instruction for beginners; sophisticated evolution for those with prior firearms experience. The technical mastery is evident; the heart he invests is extraordinary. The Collective The vigilance here is palpable. Every instructor watches, every instructor cares--about your safety, your comprehension, your takeaway value. With ratios approaching one instructor per two shooters, errors never become habits. This team embodies elite capability without the ego. Closing Reflection I have taught for forty years. I assumed I understood what excellence looked like in an organization. FTA dismantled that assumption. Knowledge, pedagogical instinct, human compassion, and operational mastery--rarely do all four coexist under one roof. Whoever architected this operation understands something profound about human potential. My highest recommendation. -- Sam H.

    This is a great outdoor range for both new and experienced shooters…read more If you're looking to get a private shooting bay, it's definitely worth lining up before opening. It fills up quickly. If you're not in a rush, showing up after lunchtime can help you avoid the early wait, but keep in mind, on busy days you might miss out on getting a bay altogether. What really stands out is the staff. They're extremely helpful, friendly, and make the experience comfortable whether you're a beginner or more advanced. One thing to note, they don't offer rentals, so make sure to bring your own firearms. Overall, a solid spot with a great environment. Just plan your timing right and come prepared.

    Been coming here for around 2 years and the last couple experiences broke the camel's back for me…read more I did like this place. Never had an issue with the cashiers, sad to hear other people's experiences with them. The area is nice and spacious which is why I liked going here, you get your own bay and usually nobody bothers you. For 2 hours you'll pay 32 buck with cash and 37 with card. The wait can be brutal so get there early in the morning. There was a group of 4 of us this one time. The 2 older Range Officers, a middle aged Asian American guy and an old geezer probably in his 60s, they kept annoying us and tried multiple times flirting with our chick friend in the group. The chick friend told me she's goin' to stick next to me, so the Range Officers would stop interacting with her. Never had the Range Officers give my group this much attention. Long story short that broke the camel's back for me. I was at the 50 yard bay shooting a pistol with one hand, at a steel target provided by the range. Shot one handed here before with no issues. A younger Range Officer yelled at me and said what I was doing. I calmly replied back with no demeanor or with a rude attitude. I guess he didn't like me replying back to him when I answered his questions, then the middle aged Asian American Range Officer quickly comes up to talk to me. I replied calmly to him too, I apologized to deescalate the situation and he still kept being a fat d*ckhead. Then the old geezer Range Officer in his 60s who talks like he has sh*t stuck up his ass, I think he's the master of them, comes up to the bay and talks to me. He also didn't like it when I calmly replied back, it made him even more mad. If ya have a tough skin you'll be fine. The Range Officers are rude, except for one. Don't talk back to the Range Officers, they don't like it haha. Maybe you'll have a better experience here than I have. Won't be coming back here sadly.

    This is the second time taking this course and instruction…read more Same as the first time. Phenomenal training, friendly teaching and tons of great information. I've been shooting for the last 15 years. From the casual aspect, the super duper tactical aspect, and now just the conceal carry aspect. I also use to instruct my self part time back in the day. So my knowledge and view point of shooting is vast. And I still learned some new things from them. Good point of views and instruction from them that made me a better shooter. And more prepared for daily carry. Great groups of guys and girls teaching the classes. No filler, no bad info. No nonsense from guys who want to show people Hollywood moves that don't actually help. Very inviting to all types. Casual, older, younger. Tactical and new shooters. Men and women. Very well tailored and one of the better pistol courses I've taken. Highly recommend.

Easy online process to pay and register for a class. Get there early for seating, easy check in process. Don't park directly in front of the range or other businesses, park in the main open lot.

Don't look anywhere else, R2B all the way!
