So that was satisfying. They provided the instructions on everything and discussed safety in detail. In my opinion the staff were totally professional ans made sure safety was a priority. I didn't feel unsafe at all while qualifying here at this range. I would recommend this place for outdoor range shooting.

As a…read moreresult, we bought $350 in ammo for two rental guns we do not own for this one session as I live elsewhere. issues- Lots of unmet expectations and a huge lack of customer service. - NO free gun rentals - NO unlimited range time. My range where I am a member treat their members far better with unlimited range time even on weekends. This range wanted us out after 1 hour despite being a member and all the ammo we bought from them. - the rental gun did not cycle very well. It kept jamming. All they told us is they would fix it before re-renting it. Wasted lots of our time fixing uncycled rounds in a bad rental gun. NO FUN! - appealed to manager. He was far more interested in telling us we were wrong and explaining what their policies were with NO concern for us. NO grace on range time. NO refunds on ammo. We sure felt abused. - tried to appeal to owner. The manager said he would not help us as he does not work weekends. No help. None. They happily took our money with NO concern for customer service at any time. BUYER BEWARE!!

There are a lot of rules like but that's because they emphasize a lot on safety. The range rules are always on the website and the ranges themselves. People in the range are pretty friendly where they will give you clamps or staples if you forget to bring some and let you try out their rifles. If you want to shoot steel with pistols or mine and shoot it takes extra certifications to allow you to do that. If the roles are too much then you might be better off going elsewhere cause there are more restrictions here.
