When you want to remain sharp and focused in the world of hand guns this shooting range is the best in the Portland-Metro area.

World class firearm safety course by Alex! My girls and I cannot recommend him highly enough. My…read morewife has held a weapon once in her life, and my daughter had only fired a few rifles 2 to 3 times with friends. I am former military, but terribly out of practice when it comes to weapons and took the opportunity to join my wife and daughter in a refresher course. The three of us took Firearms for Absolute Beginners with Alex and were incredibly pleased with the results. We spent four full hours combing through the basics. He walked us through how semi automatic pistols and revolvers work, showed us how bullets work, gave us a fantastic lesson on the different calibers and types, and we spent almost an hour, practicing loading and unloading weapons safely. My wife went from being a nervous wreck to being relaxed and comfortable around a handgun, and my daughters confidence grew tenfold. I picked up some terrific tips for proper stance and grip, which showed immediate results on the range. The following day I practiced with my 9mm and noticed a significant improve in my shot group. If you're new to handguns or just need a refresher course so that you can get comfortable with them again, I strongly recommend Jones firearm training. Alex was infinitely patient with our silly questions and helped foster a comfortable atmosphere where the entire family was able to learn.

Excellent facility | Excellent instructors (Jeremy)…read more My husband has been here a few times to use their shooting range, but this was my first time coming here to watch my husband use their simulators. I originally booked a 30-minute session for the Threat Alley simulator ($45). I didn't know what to book for my husband because he had never done anything like this before, but I wanted to get him involved in something since this place offers state-of-the-art training. I'm so glad I did. Jeremy was our instructor. He was formerly a member of a SWAT team, so he has plenty of experience. He offered excellent critique and guidance, walking my husband through the session step by step. He even gave us an extra 20 minutes and let us use the 300-degree Threat Arena - WOW! He provided my husband with excellent scenarios, even the ones intended for two people. I highly recommend Jeremy and hope we have the opportunity to work with him again next time. He's very knowledgeable, friendly, and an excellent instructor here. The simulator experience really makes you appreciate what military and law enforcement have to do. The Threat Alley simulator is a single-screen application that lets users practice practical threat scenarios, such as being robbed in a parking lot after work. It also presents other scenarios that prompt you to reconsider how you would handle the situation if it were to actually happen. Those scenarios, when the threat isn't directly interacting with you, can get tricky. For instance, how do you handle the threat if they have a hostage? The 300-degree Threat Arena is pretty impressive! It's best used with another person or two, but my husband did well for one person. Overall, I recommend these simulators for individuals seeking to train or simply enjoy themselves. Photos are allowed only in the simulators. Originally, I booked for $45 and ended up getting an extra 20 minutes and invaluable advice for the price of $55. So worth it! This place is popular and offers a variety of packages. Great staff. I'm so glad this place is here. We plan to be back!

I had a list of 4 I wanted to try and visited Safefire because they had them and also great reviews. As a lady searching for my first pistol I was nervous about what my experience would be. Immediately my nerves were calmed by their professionalism and kindness. Directions were clear and easy to follow. I was treated with the respect I brought to the experience. As I worked my way through the guns on my list the guys in the range checked in about what I thought. After firing a few he inquired what the purpose of my gun is and I explained it is home defense. Maybe concealed carry at some point. He suggested a gun not on my list and I gave it a try. I fell in love and ordered the gun! Excited to get it next week! I'll likely take a class here at some point. I can't recommend Safefire enough!!!

They did a wonderful job keeping us focused while also staying lighthearted to make the session fun and informative. We really appreciated that any and all questions were encouraged and answered thoroughly. We all enjoyed our lesson (group of 4) and highly recommend giving Active Program Solutions a try! Thanks again, guys!

I can not say enough positive things about the instruction and experience as a whole from Woody and…read moreJason. Woody and Jason were patient, calm, and so kind from beginning to end. Most impressive they created a serious, safe, and careful environment while maintaining a light, positive, and engaging experience. We were a group of 4 and all 4 of us had never handled a gun so we were as fresh as could be but Woody and Jason had us shooting, and handling the guns like pros by the end. Woody's confidence, and deep knowledge in his field is felt throughout the lesson and it allows even the most nervous and hesitant students (like myself) feel at ease. If you are considering a lesson in firearms I HIGHLY recommend Active Problem Solutions. I believe even an experienced gun owner could benefit from a few hours with Woody.
