    As a female (who knows nothing about guns) I am so glad I was recommended to try this place to…read morelearn about guns and gun safety in a non-threatening, cool, inclusive environment! Highly recommend checking this place out! Excellent classes (and women only classes!). I was so nervous the first time in the shooting bay but our awesome female instructor calmed the nerves and gave great pointers. I've now been to one class and one girls and guns event and in the shooting bays and I can't wait to go back and learn and practice more.

    Buyers remorse. This is a great range, but I had a really poor purchase experience there. I bought…read morea new gun there and later found that it was jamming about 5% of the time. I brought it back in, and the guy at the counter tested the gun and said I need to be using 147 grain ammo. He said the problem was that I was using 115 and 124 grain ammo before. The first sales person didn't say anything about that, and I actually had purchased a 1000 round case of 115 grain ammo. I think there's something wrong with the gun because I did an Internet search and it said this gun has no problem with 115 grain ammo. I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with the gun and I have to use a hotter ammo to solve the malfunction. The original sales rep said if I have any problem with it just to bring it in and made it sound like they would take care of me. But the second guy who is extremely well spoken had me half convinced I need to use (more expensive) hotter ammo. I'm certain there's something wrong with the gun and now I have to call the manufacturer and deal with them. Update 6/27/25 (two months later): Shortly after my Google review was published, James, one of the managers reaches out to me. He apologizes about the employee that said I needed hotter ammo - he shouldn't have said that. He encourages me to bring the gun in and they take a look at it. Several of them shoot it, it works fine, but it jammed once while I was shooting it with them. They blame it on my grip; my grip is not tight enough so the slide can't operate properly. I'm thinking that can't be right -- I've worked with an instructor, a former professional competition shooter, and he taught me a proper two-handed thumbs-forward grip. I've shot all the major brand handguns, including high-end race guns like Staccatos, and I have never had a problem with jams. I insist my grip, while not pro-grade like these guys, is not the problem. I tell them I want to return the gun. I'm offered a meager trade-in, good for another gun or store credit. I expected they'd stand behind the product, as an authorized reseller for Canik, that they'd take it up with Canik, but they 'stuck to their guns' that the gun was fine, and they could not improve upon their offer. I decline their offer and say I'll send it to Canik. At this point, as if I had some really original idea to do so, THEY offer to send to Canik. Canik, who has a location in the US, still took the better part of two months to send it back to me (it felt like it was being sent off to Europe or something). Canik replaced the slide spring. I get it back, test it, it works fine. But by this time, I've lost my taste for Canik and this whole experience, so I want to trade it in, and get a gun that I've owned before and trust, a Smith & Wesson. I asked my point of contact there, Tyler, what it would cost after the trade-in and adding a red dot. I never did get a reply. I emailed Tyler and James a couple times, called a couple times, can't reach anyone. Ghosted. I feel that the way this should have gone down was that as soon as I had a claim the gun (under warranty), was defective, and if they were not able to fix it, that they should have offered to send it to the factory for repair. Rather than inconvenience and embarrass me, with claims I needed different ammo, or had a bad grip, they should have stood behind what they sold, and offered to get it resolved via the manufacturer. I will probably continue to tell people that The Range West is a top-notch gun range, but I would not recommend purchasing a gun there, as they don't seem to want to stand behind what they sell.

We bought chairs for outdoor games which were very good prices and they last a long time. They have reasonable prices for all your sporting needs. Mouth guards, basketballs, cups, bikes, hoops, sports clothing and more. The staff is always helpful when we need and they greet you as you walk in. We came here to compare prices for a hoop which we saw better elsewhere but overall, not bad.

I got the shoes, opened the REAX and they are worn, dirty and stained. There is white paint or something similar on the bottoms, on the side and top, there is what looks like splattered Cola or coffee. The laces are dirty and the inside of the shoe has fuzz and dirt. I IMMEDIATELY called the Manchester store and "Wayne" answered in the shoe department. He was 10,000% extremely unhelpful, rude and very off putting with his attitude. He blamed it on the delivery service I used, my response was they dont work for Academy, they are a delivery company. He then says well what do you want me to do about it? So I hung up and called to talk to a manager. The manager "James" was worse than the first guy, so apparently I was going to get no where with him either. So here I am, stuck with worn, dirty Nikes that I paid 100$ for! NEVER WILL I RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY NOR WILL I EVER SPEND ONE MORE CENT WITH THEM.....​​

    COVID Review Occasion: It's a gun store...you do the math…read more Stopped in here today to pick up a few things. Specifically, after about 20 phone calls they were the only store that had 9M fmj range ammo in stock, albeit at a significantly higher price than usual. Supply & demand during covid... There were a few things on our list and they actually had them all in stock, which is rare for a gun store these days. A woman helped us who was very knowledgeable and helpful. Among other things, she was able to help me pick out a pair of range safety glasses that fit the pumpkin resting on my shoulders so that was exciting. Their prices were a bit above average, but they made me feel safe shopping there, had everything I needed, and provided excellent service. Those are three things I'm willing to pay somewhat of a premium for in this day and age. Their covid response game is on point - locked doors, strictly regulated capacity, wearing masks the right way, distancing, & hand sanitizer. The only potential nitpick is that the line isn't taped, but people were being respectful in line so not really a hangup for us. One last note - limit of 2 boxes of ammo per person per calibre per day, so bring all your non-gun-toting friends if they're willing. Maybe bribe them with food, because there are some awesome restaurants nearby... Would I recommend/revisit: You betcha!

The customer service is solid; professional and efficient. Don't worry about trying to ease your way out of procedures here they check and triple check systems, quote federal laws, government regulations and store policy faster than you say "Make My Day"! Whatever your artillery lacks; you can probably get here: earplugs, handguns, bowling ball pins, targets, blades, ammo, holsters...and so on. Protect ya neck, ~Christy
