I found this place by accident. This is an indoor VR range with REAL handguns and rifles. They…read morecan also convert most personal weapons to use their system. The premise here is to use modules that fit into real weapons giving you real feedback without real ammo. 100% safe. When you pull the trigger a laser fires from the module, and CO2 cycles the weapon. Nice! NO CLEANING after a day at the range. One can also see one's performance level and diagnose issues in aim, reaction, etc. They have tons of scenarios from plain target shooting at different distances to self-defense scenarios to a full-out ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE (MY FAVORITE). The facility is very nice! It is temperature controlled, light controlled, and the screens are bright and crisp to display the "targets". You can shoot individually or in teams. The staff and owner (Ted) are very professional and friendly. You can just "go-wild" hunting zombies or bad guys, or get assistance from the staff on becoming a better shooter. There is a good restaurant co-located for snacks and such. For hot or rainy days, this IS the place to be. It's very popular, so make sure you call Ted or one of his crew before you go as their resources are limited. This is the closest you can come to military / police style training in million-dollar simulators, and other than 360* action, very little deviation. This is far less expensive than hundreds of rounds of ammo, cleaning costs, driving to a range, etc. Does it sound like this customer is addicted? I am!

I took my two sons here today and they had a ball and I really enjoyed it. The owner was really…read morenice and took time with them. I think this would be a awesome place to take a group of boys to have some fun learning how actually shoot a gun without going through allot of Ammo. I definitely will be taking my sins back here and it's a great place to target practice without using live ammo.

At the end we trained in multiple site acquisition and fast but steady firing cadence. This includes review of trigger and grip fundamentals. I still highly recommend the company and their course.

TLDR: you will NOT regret your experience here…read more I doubt I will ever have a better experience with a gun dealer and firearms trainer. I've always been uncomfortable walking into gun stores or shooting ranges, and that was 100% not the case here. The nicest, most knowledgeable, thorough and accommodating folks I have ever encountered. My husband and I are in the market for a hunting rifle and a handgun, and we're a little lost on where to start and what to get and have a pretty tight budget. I searched guns on Apple Maps, and bam, Grey Wolf comes up 10 minutes from home. I check out their website and am amazed to find a 'Try Before You Buy' class where for $25 you can shoot five of their guns with five rounds in each. They had same day openings (on a Saturday) and you can book online on their website. They take Apple Pay in person too, not something you see in most small, home run businesses. We were able to pick five rifles and five handguns, and let me tell you, they have an EXTENSIVE collection to pick from, from antique WWII to the latest and greatest. We had an absolute blast learning about all the different weapons and figuring out what would work best for both of us. The range isn't huge, but for gun safety and training courses or testing out specific weapons, it was more than adequate. My husband had so much fun he wants to go back to try some of their other pieces. We'll definitely be buying the guns we decide upon from them; not just because we enjoy supporting local, small (and veteran owned) businesses, but because Dawn and Jeff were so amazing to learn from and interact with. Also good to note, they never schedule more than one group at a time, so it will just be you and yours learning, practicing, etc. (other than their larger conceal carry courses.)

I can't say enough about Wes Reese and the North Carolina Concealed Carry certification course…read moreoffered through Reese Firearms. Being both a veteran and someone that had previously gone through concealed carry certification in another state, you can imagine how excited I was NOT to sit through more fairly basic-level training. I couldn't have been more wrong. Wes is one of the most knowledgeable individuals you will ever meet when it comes to firearms and the relevant NC laws. Additionally, he makes some otherwise dry material interesting and funny, and is very engaging with the class. The videos Wes used to supplement the material were mostly funny, but were very relevant to the subject matter and the humor just made the material all the more memorable. Pizza lunch was delivered by Pizza Hut at 11:15 and Wes just kept rolling through the material while we ate. Shortly after lunch, a guest speaker from US Defense Shield spoke to the class about carrying legal protection in the event you ever find yourself in a self-defense situation, firearm or not, and how you plan to defend yourself criminally and civilly after the fact (because you will have to regardless of what happened, and how). Once again, very thought provoking, and not something most folks consider. The classroom portion is located in Kernersville and the range is in Thomasville, approximately 25-30 minutes away with light traffic. I didn't realize this until I received the confirmation e-mail after I registered, but it wasn't a big deal for me. If that matters to you, don't forget to plan ahead. Range qualification was quick and efficient and the class was dismissed from the range while anyone that wanted to stick around to shoot Wes's arsenal was welcomed. Either way, you leave the range that day with your certificate in hand, ready to join the world as the next concealed carriers (as soon as your local Sheriff approves your application). If you live in or anywhere remotely near the Triad Area, and are considering concealed carry training, there's just no better option than Wes Reese and Reese Firearms.

Great instructor for gun safety/NC concealed carry! Wes goes above and beyond when teaching. He…read moreuses real life examples and props. It is easy to schedule online. You can tell he has a passion for gun safety and education and does an amazing job! Would highly recommend! Thank you Wes!

This is no-frills full training experience that will get you in shape (and the fitness combat…read moreclasses do a GREAT job of that) with SUPER knowledgeable staff. Already a 5 star experience! But Jeremy's kindness and patience and dedication to his craft is what made me need to review. Given the Delta variant surge, and the ability for vaccinated people to be carriers...I'm not in the best position to participate given my baby niece's immunocompromised status (who, as an infant, isn't vaccinated), and Jeremy worked with me to find a solution that helps me make sure my niece is safe and looked after, but making sure I knew the door stayed open for my own training. God bless TDT and their staff, and their members who go out of their way to motivate and encourage. If you need a gym routine that shakes up the old and in an exciting way, get on the mat and have some fun!!!! I personally can't wait to go back .

These guys run a great class The concentration is on pragmatic self defense in everyday…read moresituations. For adults, this is what you need. The first 15 mins or so of the class is fitness. Getting the blood pumping. The rest is technique. You will learn a lot of great stuff to use should you have to. Takes a while to get used to especially if you've never done it before, but you leave each class feeling exhilarated and more confident. Classes are offered 4x a week but you can set your own schedule so there is plenty of flexibility. Give it a shot
