I don't understand any of the negative reviews. I'm guessing they all went on the weekend when they…read moreare very busy, and just got annoyed for having to wait while other customers were being attended to... I've been going to this range since the month they opened their doors, and I happily keep going back! This is the epitome of what a "clean range" should be. It has the best HEPA filters in the ranges and it never smells of powder. The employees are all so very nice and helpful, usually with a does of comedic relief. Shooting there is like going to a friend's home to shoot. They make all their customers feel welcomed, rather than some ranges (on Rt 30?) where everyone seems to have an attitude of being better than you and that you're inconveniencing them at their place of work. NOT HERE - YOU ARE ALWAYS MADE TO FEEL WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED AS A CUSTOMER! ALWAYS! While I've been shooting for over 50 years, I recently took a private lesson from Mark Longo to break a bad habit of (like many!) anticipating the shot and shooting low-left. WHAT AN AMAZING INSTRUCTOR! Mark was able to zero in on several bad habits I had developed over the years, and taught me how to correct them as well as practicing drills to continue to fix and internalize them at home. I was always a "decent" shot, but in only one lesson I absolutely improved. I will be joining their club as Mark Longo got me excited to shoot again, because of the progress I immediately noticed. I just want to continue to get better, and I've found no other range that comes close to helping me achieve this. This range rocks! "Uncle Steve" Bloome

My father and I were members for over 40 years. The club worked in partnership with the part district promoting gun, safety, and introducing residents to the sport.

A brief explanation on how I came to Top Shot Academy when I decided to take the CCL class…read more I began this journey by looking in Google maps for a CCL instructor/class that was near where I lived. I found one eight blocks from me. Problem: they closed their business and told no one. Next, I looked again for a close proximity instructor/class. Found one who was an "attorney" (that's what I was told). Made the date for the class, we agreed that I would take the Metra out to his location and he would pick me. Got on the train in the city and went out to his Metra stop. He was a no-show - got stood up. SOOOO, having finally learning my lesson, I looked on Yelp for a reputable 5-star rating CCL instructor. Top Shot Academy and instructor Chip Eberhart. Taking Chip's class was unbelievably thorough and so complete with regard to every detail, well, I'll say I plan to never loose touch with this remarkable guy and Top Shot Academy ! His experience and continuing ongoing firearm education (including and great wit and sense of humor - can I say that ?) makes him a paragon of his profession ! Alan

I had an outstanding experience at GAT Guns and can't say enough good things about Kris, Chris, and…read morethe entire sales team. From start to finish, the experience was professional, welcoming, and genuinely customer-focused. I came in very excited to purchase a SIG Sauer P226 X-Carry Legion, and the experience absolutely lived up to that excitement. I also had a lot of questions--not only about the P226 X-Carry Legion itself, which I'm in love with, but also about several other firearms I was considering. Kris and Chris were both incredibly knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to walk through differences, answer questions in detail, and provide honest, thoughtful insight. What really stood out was how attentive and unrushed the entire experience felt. I never felt pressured or pushed toward a decision. Instead, I felt comfortable, well informed, and confident throughout the process, which made the purchase even more enjoyable. This wasn't my first experience with GAT Guns either. I've purchased items from them in the past unrelated to firearms, and those experiences were just as positive. In addition, several of my family members purchased gifts for me from GAT Guns for Christmas 2025, and they all had great experiences as well, which says a lot about the consistency of the team and the way they treat customers. GAT Guns is clearly a well-run, professional operation with a knowledgeable staff that takes pride in doing things the right way. Between my own experiences and those of my family, they've earned my trust and my repeat business. I highly recommend GAT Guns to anyone looking for a top-tier buying experience.

I had taken a few years off from shooting. But I got the itch again and shook off the dust at another range. Recently decided to start shopping for another firearm. I stopped by Maxon's as they had the 3 handguns in stock that I've been considering. While I did not purchase anything, Luis was extremely helpful, and knew his stuff. He was super friendly and patient with me as well. I really appreciated his relaxed, friendly attitude. Something you don't find too often in this scene. Their prices are a little high, but I think the employees make it worth it. I'll be back to use their range, and post an update if there are any issues. Minus 1 star for the price of their CC qualification target. $3. Ouch. The other range I go to in East Dundee sells them for ¢75.
