Just flew into Portland and of course the first place I go to start my day before the gym is here…read more This place is always a great experience due to the staff and the overall vibe. 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.

I just took the PST 101 this past weekend with David and I highly recommend the class! I went in…read morewith my first firearm, having absolutely no experience, and learned so much! The combination of lecture teaching and hands-on teaching in the range made for a very productive class! It was definitely worth the cost! I cannot wait to go back to train more and take 101A!

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.

Straight up the best. I've trained with Adam, Jeremy, and Chris. All are super professional and…read morehighly skilled teachers. They refined my handgun grip to far more proficient than I could ever do on my own. They walked me through my first Bill Drill, target transitions, and shooting with movement that I have ever done, with no ego. They have the skills to back up what they are talking about, and the experience. I cannot stress enough if you carry, if you have a home defense firearm. Get Training!!!! For your sake and everyone around you. Plus, it's just plain old fun! Prices are the best bang for buck out of any range I've been in. I've noted in a review the range isn't airconditioned, that's not accurate, it is, in-fact bring a hoody it can get a tad chilly. I also got my CHL here Utah and Oregon, they were great about following up when Utah delayed due to back log. I'm noting that the negative reviews happened before Adam took charge as general manager. For all those that haven't been back since, I suggest trying it again. I can't tell you how happy I've been with the experience.

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!!!

Tons of helpful tips on technique, things to watch out for, and practical application of the lessons being taught. 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.
