I dropped off a rifle for a barrel swap estimated cost "not more than $200.00", after three months…read morethe gunsmith asked for the Bolt to complete "Headspace". One month later I was called to pickup the rifle, it was ready to go- $250.00 paid in full. Unfortunately 1st time out at the range, the rifle would not chamber a round. I returned the rifle and spoke with Travis. Next day Travis called and told me my rifle was ready- "$100.00 extra charge!!". When I questioned the extra charge, Travis and the Gunsmith (Father/Owner) became belligerent over the phone and hung up on me telling me "if I refused to pay the $100 then get my rifle and never return". Travis stated the problem was the barrel, not the swap. If that were the case, I felt THAT should have been identified during headspacing(?)- before I picked it up initially. I paid their extra $100 to avoid further conflict, I will NEVER return and would NOT recommend their service.

I visited this business on August 14, 2026 and was not satisfied with the customs and courtesies of…read morethe staff. I went to this business to purchase an item. There were not many customers in the store at the time and there was no staff on the floor to assist. I approached the cashier's line and patiently waited while the cashier checked out a customer. Upon completing the transaction with the customer the cashier calls me up to his station by saying "What's up, what do you want". I was surprised by how the cashier addressed me, normally a professional business summons a customer to a cash register by saying "how can I help you?" My experience got even worse after approaching the cashier to inquire about the product I was looking for. The cashier didn't bother to check if the store carried the item and flat out said "bro buy something else bigger because we probably don't carry something to fit something that small". If the cashier couldn't leave his cashier station instead of telling a customer what a business "probably" does carry, he could have called over another store associate to verify if the store carried the item. After dealing with the cashier I left shooter's world and was able to purchase what I was looking from another vendor. I will not be visiting this business again. I do not recommend based off of my experience.

If there were a gold medal for gun ranges, this place would be standing on the podium while the…read morenational anthem played and bald eagles circled overhead. From the moment you walk in, the customer service is on another level. The staff somehow manages to help you before you even realize you need help. Looking at a firearm for more than three seconds? Someone is already there with helpful info. Thinking about ammo? Boom--recommendations appear like they've read your mind. The selection of firearms is honestly beautiful. I'm talking about the kind of display that makes you stop and admire the craftsmanship for a minute before remembering why you walked in. Everything is well organized, well maintained, and clearly handled by people who genuinely respect the equipment and the sport. What really sets this range apart, though, is the staff. These are not just employees--they're trained professionals who clearly know their craft. They're attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being condescending, and they treat every customer with the same level of loyalty and respect. It doesn't matter who you are or how much experience you have--everyone is welcomed and helped the same way. And somehow they manage to do all of this while keeping the atmosphere friendly, relaxed, and even a little fun. It's rare to find a place that balances professionalism, safety, and great humor all at once, but this range pulls it off. If great service, knowledgeable staff, and a fantastic selection are what you're looking for, this place absolutely nails it. Honestly, the only real danger here is that you'll want to come back way more often than you planned.

I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant at first after reading some reviews about one of the workers, but after seeing him work, it's obvious he has real talent. He explained everything clearly, took his time, and was super cool throughout the whole process. The skill speaks for itself. They also had a large selection of gun parts, air guns, and other gear which was nice to see. For my first time coming in, I left completely satisfied.
