My Ruger LCP II .22 caliber pistol really messed up and jammed badly. I got help from Jonathan, a range supervisor, who saw my ammo and suggested it wasn't right. I learned that .22 Long is not the same as .22 Long Rifle. Less grains and slightly shorter. Those bullets were jamming my gun. Looking forward to shooting with right bullets. read more

OTS is serviceable, but there are better experiences to be had at other ranges. The range itself, * The target system is very nice and modern, as is the ventilation. * Being able to staple targets is a plus. * The sound concussion is wild, .223/5.56 sounds as loud as .308s I've stood next to at other indoor ranges. Of all the places I've shot, I absolutely have to double up on hearing protection here. They really should invest in putting up sound deadening foam on the walls. As for the staff, * Some are friendly and genuinely good people, then a few are straight up standoffish. * Atmosphere in general can be somewhat unwelcoming. * The RSO's are inconsistent, one guy was perfectly fine with me practicing emergency reloads then the next time I came I was told I'm not allowed too by someone else. * You need to be a paying member just to qualify for practicing draws from concealment. I understand walking someone through safe drawing practices before giving the green light. However, other ranges will allow you to do this and work with you on safe technique, free of charge. * Way too excessive on ammunition check, once I brought in factory new sealed boxes of Fiocchi 5.56 55gr m193 ball and 9mm 115gr fmj they opened and ran a magnet through all of them. Final thoughts, This happens to be the closest indoor range to me, but I'd rather drive farther at the cost of my convenience in exchange for a better experience. read more

On Target Sports - Unloaded rifle and handgun in its holster on the shooting lane table at OTS. - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

The first time I came here I was a brand new shooter, they helped me sight in my rifle and taught me some skills. Excellent range, great ventilation and they listen when you request a stall near a wall because you are shooting something anxious... great staff great atmosphere. read more

I've gone here for the shooting range several times now and it has been a great experience. The staff are friendly and professional. They do a good job in making sure everyone is following safety procedures while at the gun range. To use a lane at the range is about $20 and you can bring your own ammo or purchase it at the store. I also went to the beginner's gun course that this store offers for $99. It was a good introduction to handguns and goes over the basics on how to fire a gun. They also offer concealed carry classes as well as others. read more

Ladies Night is a total steal! The guys were super helpful. I was nervous because Im new to hand guns and just not learning how to shoot.

great indoor range with a great staff, I have been shooting there a few times now alone and with others and have always had a great time. wait time has not been an issue and the staff have always been helpful, on and off range. going to do a membership here. read more

On Target Sports - My daughter after some great tips from Jonathan on the range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

This is a store that carries a very big selection of firearms (and accessories), offers lessons, has a women's shooting club, and an indoor shooting range. What I like about it: 1- The range officer is always present and never leaves anyone on the shooting line alone. Safety is the highest priority and it shows. I've had to ask for help before and have never been made to feel less than or dumb for not being comfortable doing something (in this case it was clearing an ammunition double feed). The range has up to date technology and is clean and well maintained. 2- The staff in the retail area are very knowledgable. They won't tell you what to buy but if you describe the characteristics of what you're looking for, they can help you narrow down some options. They encourage you to hold and handle as many as you'd like and I e never felt rushed. 3- There's a pretty large selections of firearms available for rent. The ability to try a firearm out really helps when making a costly investment. You can also rent the safety equipment and purchase range ammunition and targets. 4- The price for both daily range use and/or membership is reasonable. They have a nice discount for military members. If you go for a membership you can bring two guests for free per year. My personal wish list: 1- One-on-one training/classes with instructors for those who would like to work on skills beyond the basic firearm safety/concealed carry class that is offered. Other topics (like marksmanship, home defense, etc) would be great too. 2- Would love to see a female behind the retail desk and/or on the range. (Sorry if they have one and I just haven't spotted her yet!) The gentlemen are great, but sometimes a lady just wants another female perspective when talking about firearms as they pertain to women. 3- That's pretty much it. I'll update the list as new come to me. read more

Preface: I've been shooting my entire life. I want to be fair in this review. The staff was pleasant and accommodating when I was there. Their pricing is a bit more pricey than other equally reputable ranges. There isn't a lot of room in the shooting area, which leads me to the next few unfortunate observations: 1. Individual lane booths are not installed but would cut down on the amplified noise coming off the reflective walls and floor. 2. Lanes are narrow and so the other shooters are far too close to each other. 3. Employees stand behind the shooters making sure they're following the rules, which can feel extremely unnerving and unsettling when you're trying to relax, concentrate and have a good range day. If this is going to be your first time EVER at a range, I do NOT recommend going here. It's okay if you're used to indoor ranges, already. I've since acquired a range membership elsewhere, so I personally won't be returning. read more

Pretty much useless. Weren't even interested in helping me. Ended up at Bass Pro Shops for my purchase, I'd recommend buying from them instead . read more

I haven't had the pleasure of visiting this place as much as I would like, but for the times I have, it has been exceptional. They have range rangers who give you shooting guidance. They are very knowledgeable and help correct any shooting displacement they see. It is a very clean establishment. The business offers good rental and purchase options with reasonable prices. I can't wait to go back! read more

Gouge Customers? LOSE Customers! My minor child and I have shot here several times. When we both shoot, we both get charged; that's only right. I recently brought her to shoot and I was there only to train and supervise her. Upon checking in, they even asked how many people are shooting and I told them "one". I was surprised to see I was charged as a second shooter and asked why, if I either never fire a shot or I'm training someone to be a future customer, was I charged. Their reasoning is ridiculous. I was told that I am "using" their facilities, that I am taking up space in a lane, and that as a private range they can set the rules. OK. So I pay for their air and square footage of the same lane as the shooter, not in anyone else's way, all in order to train a future customer, never mind if I don't shoot a single round. So I pay for the arrogant attitude that it's their range and they can do what they want. (Warning! arrogance and weapons are a horrible combination). They gouge me for a measly $12 and thereby lose a current customer, lose a future customer, and earn scorn and ill will as a business and poor reviews on multiple internet forums. All for $12. I've shot for 40 years around the nation and have never seen such a policy. I've since learned that several ranges in this town apply the policy. Here's how to avoid it: St. Nicholas Guns & Range in Jacksonville does NOT gouge customers using such a ridiculous policy. Use your $12 to buy ammo and shoot there. Enjoy your $12 OTS. It's not the money; it's the principle. And the loss of thousands of dollars in future business and customers. read more

Let me just explain this first, I am not someone who leave review often or even bad review at that, but my first time experience at this gun range leave me so irritated and angry that I have to write a review. Please bear with me. I am new to Jacksonville area, so I have limited experience with gun range/store in the area but I am not a noobs when it comes to firearms and gun range rules/etiquette. I was planning to visit gun ranges around my home. Seeing them on the freeway and being the closet to my house, I choose to check out On Target Sport first. My first impression stepping in the store is that it's clean and organized. However, the good aspects end there. The moment I talk to the counter staffs, I already get the feeling that I am being judged and looked down on. If you know those gun store/range that constantly looks down on their customers especially the one that don't look, talk, or being a certain demographic, they will instantly become prejudice. I think this is one of them. Being a first timer looking to use their range, they asked me to fill out a waiver form which I understand. They asked me to show them my firearms (2 ARs) and ammo which I gladly did. Everything went smoothly until I showed them my pre-load magazines (they are in a separate compartment of my gun bag, NOT locked and loaded in the firearms). Then suddenly they treated me like I am the most wanted on FBI's list. Told me if I want to use the range, I will have to go out to the parking lot and unloaded all my magazines then come back in and load it at the firing bay. I explained to them that I don't have loose rounds and I brought many of magazines intending to shoot all of them. For me to unload and reload would take me a lot of time that I could use to shoot. I clearly let them know that would be very inconvenient/hassle for me. I asked them why they have that rule because this is the first time I heard of such rule at a range. Is it because of safety, I asked? Well, their response were "OH, so you don't want to shoot anymore today!". Not one explanation or accommodation, or alternative solution is offer by them. This left me speechless and irritated so much that I just went along and said I don't want to shoot anymore even thought I wanted to. So I went to my truck and cried (just kidding). I looked up google maps for the nearest gun range and went there instead (just 15 mins. down the road). I will leave a positive review on the other gun range if you want to read. Look up Basic Range and Gun for my 5 stars review there. Long story short, new gun range only asked me to not use steel case ammo and fill out waiver form. I shot all my pre-load mags there without any incident if that what you were wondering. My beef with On Target Sport is not about the rule, but the way they handle enforcing such rule. How could I know before visiting that they have such rule? Mind you, my demeanor when talking to them was of someone who is polite and soft spoken but know what I am doing when it comes to firearms, but I am still get treated like I am either a gun noobs or an irresponsible gun owner or a dangerous criminal. In which they can't take a chance at letting me shoot at their nice and clean range. You know what! On Target Sport, you just got yourself a one star review (I don't care if you have 4.6 stars; to me you are a 1 star) and lost a potential customer. You do know that you have many of competitors around you, right? read more

Customer service great and that was just when I called. The place is nice with its indoor range and front store with its sales

Never tried the range out as my wife and I currently shoot elsewhere but from the reviews we may need to give it a shot one day, haha get it? I came in during the holidays to buy a gun that was on sale according to their website. They were slammed but that did not hinder my experience. I was helped by two people and had to make an online order as the particular gun was not in stock. Within a week I received a phone call and my gun was ready so it was a seamless purchase. They did not haggle me with buying any other unnecessary stuff, memberships, etc but I did browse as I was looking for a case and some accessories for my new toy. Their prices are about the same as other gun retailers in the area and just a tad bit more expensive than online but if it was up to me I'd buy local even if I'm just spending a little bit more. My gun tends to jam quite a bit - Not any fault to On Target but I figured I would just throw that out there for anyone making an impulse purchase like I did :) read more

On Target Sports - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

On target is by far one of the best gun rages and gun stores in the Jacksonville and Orange Park area. KASEY was amazing! She literally showed me how to clean and oil my firearms and she took her time and was completely patience with me. She didn't make me feel rushed and she made me feel comfortable! Andrew on the other hand is awesome too! He was extremely helpful as well. Everyone in there had great customer service, even though we worked mainly with Kasey & Andrew I would recommend anyone. The entire staff worked as a team and we witnessed how great they all correlated with each other. I went in there to get a crash course about my firearm and I left with upgrades. They took amazing care of us and this is the ONLY place we will go. You will NOT be disappointed with them! BY THE WAY; I am a woman! & THEY DID NOT TREAT ME DIFFERENT ! They educated me welcomed me and honestly reassured me, that the more I continue to handle and use my firearm the better I'd be . read more

Based on a recommendation and a pre-planned "guys day" at the range, I made my first visit to OTS about a week ago and I gotta say, coming here was a great call. I'm in my mid-late 50's and have been to plenty of different indoor/outdoor ranges and this one is right at the top! Excellent, professional, friendly staff. The facility is clean and updated with computerized target positioning. The range master was on scene the entire time and was more than willing to provide assistance/advice as required. As any firearm owner knows (or SHOULD know) safety on a range is paramount and these guys are all about it! My one "ding" is the parking outside.... there ain't much of it and it's kinda tight, but not so bad as to prevent me from stopping by in the future. read more

I'm an enthusiast, love "lead therapy" but I find in a lot of places the guys working there can be a little ... condescending. I've been to a couple places in Jacksonville & had so-so experiences. I stopped in On Target Sports, conveniently located just off 295 between Collins & Blanding and even though the place was buzzing with activity, someone immediately asked if they could help. Without going into details I needed assistance with a gun transaction which I wasn't that familiar with & they ( Mgr. Tom Pitti) were VERY helpful throughout the entire process. Also the facility is state of the art, clean, seemed to be effectively run & definitely had a good vibe. I'm going back there for sure for any & all my gun / shooting needs & highly recommend it others. read more

The facility is really nice but the customer service is awful. The guy at the counter was so rude to my family. Will definitely be going somewhere else. read more

Upon arrival I was immediately treated with respect as well as helping workers who were able to facilitate a smooth transition into the Range. The shop contains a nice selection of pistols & rifles that you can rent inexpensively moreover the ammo isn't highly priced either. Something that this gun range has that others don't Is a very contemporary lounge that allows you to sit down and watch through the glass windows without having to enter the range to see the action. Each lane comes equip with Hi-tech electronically based positioners which also allow for different modes to be selected to better your abilities with your firearm. I will always come to this range when I want to shoot. read more

Very clean and updated facility. Compared to other ranges in the city, this is slightly more expensive but the service provided made up for it. Clear instructions was given and multiple employees are side by side with you in the range to ensure safety and assist with questions. read more

Beautiful range, huge class rooms, FRIENDLIEST staff I've ever had the pleasure of working with at ANY gun store or range I've been to and they are all experts with the firearms they carry. Would highly recommend this range over any other options in Orange Park and Jacksonville area. read more

Love the airport TSA experience? If so, you should feel right at home at On Target Sports! The place is neat & clean. But budget at least 15 minutes to read & sign five pages of small-print waivers & disclaimers. You didn't pack a long gun in your pistol bag? Sorry, but you're still required to sign the centerfire rifle page. Prefer preloading your magazines to minimize range time? You'll get additional reloading practice after they empty every one of your magazines & inspect for steel-cased rounds. Oh, did you place your range bag on their counter? They'll need to search you bag(s), too! In fairness, we were NOT frisked nor required to pass through a metal detector. But the staff appears to be looking for any & every excuse to throw you out of there. Enjoy! read more

It is an excellent firing range with clean facility and friendly staff. They even rent out automatic weapons and the ammunition for it as well. I got the fire a fully automatic suppressed MP5 sub machine gun. It was awesome! read more

Went today to purchase another firearm. They were very knowledgeable and nice. All I did was tell them that I wanted one and they said that they would put my name on the next one that came in. And they did and called me immediately. Without having me pay for it ahead of time. I cannot articulate how awesome their customer service is. There is someone always within arms distance to help you or answer any questions. And they do it extremely friendly and non judging. I can't say enough good things about On Target! read more

I've lived in Jacksonville for about 25 years now. I've shot at nearly every range in the city. At one point I was shooting twice a week for several years during my lunch hour. Since the first day I shot at OTS, I haven't used a single other indoor range. The facilities are top notch. It's cool in the summer. It's warm in the winter. The fees are very reasonable. The store has a good selection of some of the finest quality firearms for sale, and a decent selection of weapons for rent at, also, very reasonable prices. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable about their products, and professional. Unlike other ranges, their range officers are present, watchful and helpful at all times. I never feel it's unsafe to shoot there...something I can't say about all the other indoor ranges in town. Their training department is top notch as well. The Training Director, Scott Whigham, is a wealth of knowledge about self defense training techniques, to Florida and Federal gun law, to everything you want/need to know about most common (and even not so common) firearms and their accessories. My goto resource for gear, training and firearms locally. I highly recommend you try out this store for you next purchase and the range for you next training day. read more

I wanted to take some time to really get the full round trip experience before I wrote this review. I'm new to the world of pistol ownership so keep in mind that is the perspective I'll be writing from. Right from my first time waking in the staff made a great first impression - everyone was easily approachable and even though they were busy each staff member who walked by greeted me and asked if they could help with anything but weren't pushy or annoying. I made my purchase and let the fellow who checked me out know I was new to this. Without a moment's hesitation he walked me through disassembly and maintenance of the firearm. Afterwards he encouraged me to stop by and speak to anyone on staff if I have trouble or mechanical issues. Great experience overall. Later on I stopped by to use the range. After researching prices for memberships and what each range nearby had to offer, OTS was clearly head and shoulders above the rest. Still more friendly interactions with the staff. Safety is taken seriously but I wouldn't have it any other way. The staff member in the range greeted me warmly on entrance and walked me through the operation of the machinery and all of the safety rules. The range is understandably busy on the weekends, but if you live close enough to visit on a weeknight there is a significant chance you'll have no wait at all. Even if you can only make it during the weekend, should you choose to purchase a membership you'll be put in the "fast pass" line for a shorter wait. Basically this place is awesome. I feel like I made the right choice going with OTS. read more

First time shooting here. Excellent customer service. All the guys up front were awesome, especially Taylor. He took the time to really assist with our gun needs and offered options.

I attended the Ladies Basics Firearms class here. Staff: absolutely amazing! I am brand new to this and I felt super comfortable as soon as I walked in the door. Not only are they kind, but also professional and knowledgeable. Facility: awesome! It is clean, safe, has the classroom separate, a really nice lounge to relax/watch the range and there is so much to shop for (it was really cool). Class: they provided everything needed to feel comfortable and gain the basic knowledge around firearm handling, laws and practice - it was a lot for a very reasonable price Location: it is secluded, so just make sure you google map it, they put a bunch of signs so it was good but just be prepared that it's not in a shopping center (obviously that wouldn't work lol); no issue with parking I found a new hobby as a result of this welcoming, professional and friendly place! read more

Giving this store a 4, would've definitely been a 5 if customer service would've been better by 1 person there, Anthony. Everyone else was very helpful and actually seemed to like their job. But Anthony just seemed very annoyed when we asked to purchase a handgun, not a smile, didn't seem to want to help. Will definitely be back, but in hopes to not have to deal with grumpus. read more

Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Always feel safe. Able to ask questions and assistance at any time. Pleased with helpfulness of staff.
