I used this location as the receiving dealer for a federal firearm transfer. I did not complete it…read moreand I will not be back. The staff were dismissive from the start. Reading the other reviews here, that appears to be routine rather than an off day. But that is not why I am writing this. I filled out a form containing my Social Security number, date of birth, and home address. It was left sitting out on an open counter, unattended. From across the store I saw another customer standing over it with his phone out, camera pointed down at my form. I walked over and took it back myself. No employee noticed any of it -- not the form sitting there, and not the stranger leaning over it. I don't know whether he photographed my information. Neither does this store, and that is exactly the problem. If I hadn't looked up when I did, everything needed to open credit in my name could have walked out the door and no one here would have known it happened. Worth noting: ATF states that the Social Security number on a 4473 is optional. This store collected mine anyway and then failed to secure it. Protecting a Social Security number isn't customer service. It's the baseline obligation a business takes on the moment it asks for one. I was willing to walk away and leave it there. Because this location has shown no willingness to address the situation at all, I have filed a complaint with the Virginia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Section and I am consulting an attorney about legal action. If you do business here, keep your own paperwork in your hands. Do not assume anyone behind the counter is watching it.

The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and professional. The handgun ranges are modern, with…read moreautomated target systems controlled by the shooter. Sound damping, positive air flow, and reminders about safety factors such as washing hands to remove heavy metal contamination are all in plac-. The safety standards on the range are excellent, being cautious, and enforced in a prompt, helpful manner rather than the all-to-common screaming at you like a drill instructor. The reservation system has reduced wait times. The sale area is small but merchandise has been selected more to satisfy range needs rather than duplicating the main store which is within a few miles. The staff (range, sales, administration-membership) all seem to be open to suggestions for improvement. And another strong point - I have never encountered an effort at a hard sell for merchandise, membership, or any other offering.

Customer service is rated at a 2 star. No Green top representative is never at the counter.read more

I really enjoyed the shooting lessons I took with Venture Ridge. I hadn't shot a handgun before,…read moreand I was initially worried that the gun might go off and hurt someone. The instructor was very safety conscious, and his instruction made me feel more comfortable around the gun. He was super encouraging and patient--and he made the class fun. I had a great time and I learned a lot! I was shooting in small groupings from around 15 feet by the end of my first session. I strongly recommend these lessons to anyone interested in learning to shoot safely (and shoot well).

Courtney made sure all the materials were thoroughly reviewed, and did not cut corners. she taught the class all that's needed in your time as a Security Officer. I really enjoyed her class and is considering taking her PI class with her. I will highly recommend this particular instructor to anyone that needs or want a DCJS license. She was strict and by the book, but made the class go by because she was so funny. If you are thinking of getting your license go to CCJA with Instructor Courtney Leiker. Thank you Indira
