Most of the reviews are from years ago and the place is under new ownership and management so…read moreplease disregard all those. If you are a person who wants a place to do more advanced practice in any shooting sports discipline this is the place to go. They have several rifle ranges from 50-1000 yards. They have a skeet and trap range and a 5 stand coming soon. They have pistol bays for individual and small group practice. A full membership gets you all of this and is a great value. No where else in the area offer this variety at such a great price and I go 1-2 times a week. The employees and RSOs are super friendly and helpful as well. If you want a place to go beyond standing on a line and static shooting this is the best around. They also have some competitions but another nearby range has a lot more especially in pistol disciplines. I would love to see some M1 Garand and military rifle competitions here. It's well set up for that.

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.

It's comforting seeing familiar faces and the diverse groups of shooters. I know maintenance will improve as the season progresses. There were some muddier areas in some of the bays unlike before. I was grateful to be a contributor to the charity cause and Shadow Hawk donated all the raised funds to the non profit. Staff here are friendly, conduct periodic welfare checks, provide bottle waters, and promote constant safety. Since this was a completion I'll refrain from posting the stages. Thank you to the entire Shadow Hawk Team.

I took the HQL course with my mom and sister and it was a great experience. Dave and Drew were…read moreawesome instructors. They kept the class entertained, all while given us valuable knowledge regarding safe gun handling. The 4hrs class plus the live fire section were perfect. At first I was a little overwhelmed with all the information we were getting. However by incorporating class participation, things began to stick. And yes I still remember the 3 rules of handgun safety: 1) always point the gun in a safe direction. 2)keep your hand off the trigger unless you are ready to shoot. 3)keep the gun unloaded, unless for home defense!!! Thanks Dave and Drew for making this a great learning experience for myself and my family. Now if I can just just a collection like the ones you guys have. Lol. But seriously, if you're thinking about MD HQL, then DS GUNWORKS is the best way.

I just took Paramount Tactical Solution's Defensive Handgun I & II this past weekend with my son…read moreand his friend. I have taken medical courses through Paramount in the past, which were great, so I came to these courses with very high expectations. Gary and his staff of experienced professional instructors met and exceeded my expectations in every way! They truly are phenomenal instructors who obviously have years of not only operational experience, but years of training experience. They are able to watch you shoot and find those very small things you aren't doing properly and show you how to fix those things. I've been shooting for years and have a military background. On a flat range I am a pretty good shooter. The amount I leveled up from this past weekend is truly remarkable. My son who attended with me is starting a police academy in the beginning of the year and had almost no experience going into the training at Paramount. The instructors took the time to give him the instruction to give him an awesome base upon which to build. They had him shooting very accurately and with confidence by the end of the weekend. I couldn't recommend Paramount Tactical Solutions enough to anyone who is looking to become a better shooter or learn medical. I will definitely be returning to Paramount Tactical Solutions for more training in the future!

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.

New to the area, I decided to try this facility out. The previous reviews were not very helpful, so…read moremy daughter and I went in not expecting much. Well to my great pleasure the staff at front desk was extremely inviting, explained everything explicitly well, the facilities are excellent well maintained and organized. The RSO was quite knowledgeable and helpful. We spent a couple hours and we were impressed! Purchased a family membership and will be regulars from now on. FYI the ownership recently changed and not sure how it was before but this group seems to have there ducks in a row! The training range is separate so there is no scheduling issues of the ranges if they are open you can shoot! I highly recommend this friendly, clean and well organized facility!

I had a weekend become available and found Iron Sights through the shootingclasses.com website. I sent an email to confirm availability and received a prompt response from Jake. He did a great job of communicating prior to and after the class via email and text message - even following up to ensure I received the email with my class certificates and the document I needed to submit to the State with my permit application. Jake covered the NRA materials for the class and weaved in his personal experiences from his time serving in the Marines as well as time spent working in armed security roles. He also has extensive experience in competitive shooting and is very knowledgeable on firearms and self defense. Jake did not just take me through the "motions" of class curriculum, but he also provided shooting tips that will definitely increase my accuracy at the shooting range.
