Some "lady goes behind the counter, I look up and say hello. I get a weak "hi". Nothing else. Not a " what can I help you with?, etc.... I won't be back. Ever. Plus, their firearms are more than most stores. Nope!!! Shop local? Not there!

They have a reputable gunsmith and it's the only place in Iowa I trust to work on my Guns. What I like the most is that no matter how busy or slow they are you get the hometown store feel to them. They have great prices on used guns and unlike most gun stores they won't pressure you into a purchase. I always leave satisfied.

I've used this gun shop for many years for my online purchases and never had any problems…read more Sometimes I would call to ask if I could pick up my firearm, and I was always treated with respect until two days ago. I received a notification that my order had arrived, so I called to ask if my firearm was ready. A very stubborn person answered and told me they would call me when my gun was ready for pickup. Ten minutes later, the same person called to say I could come and get my firearm. When I arrived, he told me that if I was going to keep calling to ask about my order, I should go somewhere else because I have to wait for them to call me, not the other way around. I've been using their FFL since 2021 and bought ammunition many times, but after this incident, I will not be going back to that store.

They are a nice gun store especially for the Des Moines area. They mainly have used long guns and…read morethey have a small selection of handguns. They have a fair amount of ammo ad accessories. They also do gun repairs and they do purchase guns. Staff is friendly and knowledgable. Be careful though some of their prices are high for the market. So check first before buying.

Great place to shoot your heart out!…read more Great facility located in the middle of the Clive/Urbandale area. Easy to find and not too far from highway. Came out during Father's Day weekend and found it to be quite busy. Reservations are needed to book a time and lane. Upon entering facility the shop is full of merchandise. Back of the shop are walls of guns and counter for consultation. Professional customer service, especially for first time customers. Safety video, waiver, and ID check are needed. Takes 10 min. The guys who manage are efficient. Cost for 1 lane, 2 people, 2 sets of protective gear, and 4 targets was around $42.xx It's BYOGA (bring your own gun + ammo) or rentals are available. Shooting range is behind checkout counter where it is very secure with ingress and egress of patrons. I noticed two ranges. Shooting range we entered is a good size. Surveillance monitors shooters to make sure rules are obeyed. There is room to maneuver in own lane but can be tight when all lanes are filled. Overall it was a great place to get an opportunity to shoot a gun. It was fun to come out with a couple of friends. We were able to get a lane close to each other. We met some people in between us as well. Other patrons were nice and mature. I look forward to coming back and getting more practice in shooting.
