Discrimination Against Disabled Shooters - Shameful Behavior at Shoot Straight Largo…read more As someone who uses a wheelchair, I've always appreciated businesses that treat me with the same respect and consideration as anyone else. Unfortunately, Shoot Straight in Largo, Florida, and especially manager Nolan, failed that test miserably. After over two hours of range time and more than 400 rounds fired, I was suddenly approached by a range employee accusing me of hitting the ceiling -- something I categorically did not do. I shoot clean, consistent patterns and keep to the lower half of a 12x18 target. My lane only extended to 7-8 yards, and despite that being a range equipment issue, nobody addressed it. Instead, I was handed a second target board and told that will help . First it's the ceiling, what's next the floor! They couldn't even keep their story straight on who saw me do this well it wasn't the guy who came to me. When I asked the staff member for specifics, he gave me a smirk and said, "Don't kill the messenger." I explained the lane issue, and he admitted "you're preaching to the choir," yet still placed the blame on me. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was introduced to Nolan, who showed zero professionalism or understanding. He claimed someone on "his wall team" saw the incident -- but couldn't say who, because that person was "on lunch." I told Nolan I've been shooting since I was 10, and this was unacceptable. His only response? "You don't have to yell," even though I never raised my voice. That's not management -- that's dismissive deflection. Even worse? There were three other shooters using chairs at the 7-10 yard line. None of them were harassed like I was. So what made me different? My wheelchair? If so, that's a direct violation of ADA standards -- treating a disabled individual unfairly in a public accommodation. I am a paying member, and yes, I will be back. And next time, I expect: * A working lane that meets accessibility standards * Equal treatment * A manager who knows how to handle customer concerns -- not dodge them Shoot Straight Largo: If you can't follow basic ADA compliance and respect disabled customers, then you need retraining -- or new leadership.

I found the gun department staffed with EXPERIENCED and attentive employees who participate in shooting activities like I enjoy and were able to offer a discount that made a good deal even better. I feel that if you exhibit the safety habits that make everyone on both sides of the counter feel comfortable and show employees that you would not be a danger to yourself or others you will find employees who are happy to serve and even train you depending on your experience level. Don't expect the same happy response from that employee if you show disrespect for gun safety or have nefarious ownership reasons because those employees protect my rights to legal ownership and the stores best interests which I rely on and keeps me coming back when ever the need dictates.

TL;DR Managment/ownership treats customers and employees terribly, would not spend money here…read more Repeat bad experiences, I'd rather buy online than go back in this store. As an avid adventurer of the western US, I tend to visit outdoor stores wherever I travel to see what their idea of adventure is there and take the chance to upgrade gear that's frustrating to use or worn out over time. I've visited Bill Jackson's on two separate occasions now, heading in each time with about $500 worth of gear in mind to shop for. The first time I came, I got great help from multiple associates and planned to purchase gear off of their advise, but witnessed a confrontation between management and an associate that I recall as mild but disruptive enough it made me leave the store without buying anything. I didn't come back for about 8 months. Now I'm back in town for a few weeks of work before heading on a 2,700 mile bikepacking journey and really needed to grab a few items I hoped they'd have in stock. Being interesting in all outdoor activities, I started talking with an associate about the ski shop they were building the last time I was here. He keyed in that I had ski knowledge from my time tuning skis and custom fitting ski boots out west and started talking to me about part time work as they expected to need some extra hands with ski knowledge and took me to show me their ski selection. To get there, we had to walk through an area that he explained was sectioned off for an upcoming sale, so not yet available, but the necessary route to the still-open ski shop. He made a pretty good case for their ski shop and my wheels were turning about coming to help them out in the fall. On our way back through the sale area, I asked a question about the items we were walking past and the associate was very clear that those items were not available for sale until the official sale start date, but took the opportunity to educate me about them(I knew very little about diving equipment but am curious to learn). I was quickly convinced that a decent snorkeling kit was necessary equipment to enjoy the area and decided I'd get a setup. Before he got a chance to redirect me to where the currently available snorkeling gear was(I could tell it was coming, this area was also tiny compared to the sale area), an angry manager/owner appeared ready to tear apart the kind and helpful associate that had just taught me what I needed to know to spend an extra couple hundred dollars on top of the items I was already planning. I hurriedly left the area while she continued to holler at me and once I passed the threshold of that room I heard her resume berating the associate in anger. I walked myself over to the full price scuba stuff and found another helpful associate, but I could not bring myself to buy anything from this store after that experience. It was not unreasonable for her to ask us to move along since we had stopped in a place we were meant to pass through, but she was incredibly rude to the associate for going above and beyond to take care of an enthusiastic customer. I won't spend money here, that manager is the most unkind person I've encountered since I've been in Tampa. In a town of incredibly kind people, there is no place for that. Very sad, I really wanted to like this store. The associates seem to be knowledgeable and passionate about the outdoors, but they don't deserve to be treated that way.

If it's your first time make sure you grab the provided ear and eye protection. Also, ask about getting a paper target. We were not well directed the first time and got scolded.

I thought it was a good deal, bought it but when I tried making an appointment on the website, it didn't seem all that clear that the "book appointment now" button was solely for the CWP. Gave the number on their site a call and in the answering message they basically said to book the CWP class via that button and it cleared all doubts. Fine with me, I booked the class on a Sunday for the following Saturday (today) with Lee. I put in ETT into my gps and I was concerned because I didn't see any signs or anything from Park Blvd when I was getting close to the destination - it's just in the back of the building so be mindful of that! The class was two hours as expected. I found Lee to be very engaging and he gave a lot of scenarios which I love - that's how I learn and retain information, so I felt like I was able to take away a lot from this class. I feel like I 100% know my rights when it comes to concealed carry. This class fulfills the requirement to apply for your CWP. This class will not teach you how to take apart your gun or give you hands on experience with a gun. This class is meant to make sure you don't get in trouble while carrying a gun - and that was met. Sure, as some other reviews mention, there are classes out there that are a little more extensive than this and cover more regarding gun use and familiarity, however for the price and frequency these classes are offered, I'd recommend taking this class ASAP, applying for your permit and then finding a nice course that can give you hands on experience with your gun - I have a sig so I'm trying to get into some of their academy classes, but those aren't local and are pretty expensive, so this served the purpose for now! Thanks for a great class Lee, I'll for sure be recommending to any others looking to get their CWP!
