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.

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!

For someone who has NEVER held a gun before yet alone seen one in person -- this was very beginner friendly. I like that the class was small so we each got a chance to do role play for different scenarios. Bill was such a great instructor I passed on my first try during the shooting portion! I felt very safe being under Bill's watch and guidance. I will be back to continue practicing my shooting.

I'm listing it as 5 stars, but I don't really have anything to compare it against to say if this is…read moreany better than any similar places, but I don't think there are any similar places nearby. IWLA is a great place for outdoor activities. You have to be a member or a guest of a member, but I have totally gotten my money's worth out of the membership. Here at the Loudoun Chapter, they have a rifle and pistol range, a skeet range, a static archery range, a dynamic archery range, and a stocked lake for fishing. All the ranges are outdoor ranges. The Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC) on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from 1 to 4 p.m. is excellent. Dan Davis is a great teacher. They rotate topics - archery, rifle, pistol, and shotgun. They provide all the firearms, the ammunition, the clays (for the shotgun class), and instruct the kids on safety and range rules and walk them through a course of fire on the range. Kids that shoot well enough can earn an NRA Marksmanship award. NRA certified classes cost less if you are an IWLA member.

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.
