Ok first will preface this place is a little out of the way…read more.. So last year we came to F.O.P for the first time, they have a public pistol and riffle range that anyone can shoot after they sign the waiver and pay 20 bucks..... so we did that last year.... the family membership is 225.00 per year for your family to shoot the member only ranges... we had waited almost a year to come back because it is a bit out of the way and we have been busy. We took our neighbors this time and actually went on the members only portions of the range... the steel target range was fun and everything hing worked well... then we went to the riffle range to fire off a hundred or so 5.56 rounds thru the AR... folks in this range are more serious about their firearms as the folks that were here were competition shooters and gun builders. Still great group of folks... I will say we need to use our membership more often and will renew for sure. As there are limited amount of memberships sold to prevent over crowding... All in all come out and have some fun, they also rent guns, sell ammo and drinks, t shirts and other gun related stuff... Keep up the good work F.O.P!!

If you're looking for a range in Alabama, I'd recommend going somewhere else. They still require a…read moreCCW permit to join, even though Alabama went full constitutional carry back in 2023. The state law clearly says no permit is needed to carry concealed anymore, but this place is sticking to the old requirement just to be extra gate keepey about 2A. It's their private property, so they can set their own rules I understand that. But the part that really stands out is how they deny ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE members if they don't have a CCW. Let get real these are the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect and defend the Constitution, including the Second Amendment. And yet they're being told they need a government issued permission slip just to shoot at this range BWAHAHAHA. That feels completely backwards and disrespectful to those who serve. Most folks aren't going to go through the extra steps classes, fees, paperwork, fingerprints, photos, and waiting periods when the state already says you're good to go without any of it. If you want a background check just run every member though any of the 1000 background check sites. It ends up just being straight gatekeeping, limiting access to only those who already got the government's approval. CCW permits have ALWAYS been unconstitutional because the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms without needing government permission slips it's a fundamental right, not a privilege granted by the state. Big miss for this range It's disappointing to see a place that's supposed to be pro-gun still doing this in 2026 Alabama, especially when it affects active duty members who just want to go enjoy their rights. If you're looking for a no-hassle spot with better vibes, try the Talladega range, Sentinals, or Hoover Tactical if you need a rifle range and if you are lucky just shoot at a friend's place if you know anyone with land no CCW anti 2a Drama. This one gets a 0/10 from me. Save your time and go elsewhere.

I'm not reviewing the range, just their Cerakote service. I took a little J-frame revolver. First,…read morethey said 4 to six weeks and it was more like 8. I had to call to get an update about it, and they had it done about another week later. The Cerakote came out ok but it looks like they applied it over the serial numbers then ground it back. The serial by the cylinder is completely unreadable. The serial number on the butt of the revolver still readable but now I have to remove the grips in order to see it, where before the serial was visible when you opened the cylinder. I didn't take the gun back because I have to way to prove it wasn't like that before. I don't know about the rest of their services but I can't recommend the Cerakote service.

We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at Sentinel Firearms and had a great time! They allowed us to…read moreshoot his rifle there, which was a lot of fun. It's a smaller range with about 3-4 stalls, so you might have to wait your turn, but we didn't wait too long. Keep in mind that you need to purchase rifle ammo from them--outside ammo isn't allowed for rifles. It cost $60 for both of us to shoot, which included unlimited time and a box of 556 ammo. Overall, it was a great experience, and we'd definitely consider going back! Plus the restroom was clean!!

You may never need competition-level performance—but it’s reassuring to know your abilities far exceed those of the average threat you might face. Firearms are just one part of the personal protection puzzle—and ideally, one you’ll never need. I also teach mindset and situational awareness, verbal boundary-setting, managing interactions with strangers, and strategies for recognizing and avoiding potential problems before they escalate. But if avoidance fails, I’ll show you how to prevail in close, chaotic encounters where “just go to the gun” isn’t the right answer. We also explore tools beyond firearms, including non-lethal options like pepper spray and, when appropriate, alternative force tools such as edged weapons.

Truly an amazing experience…read more Jim Patterson took the time to educate us on the history of each of the many machine guns that they have available on display and to shoot. It was both educational and much fun. They may have the largest selection of machine guns available to fire. His right hand Wade was a great instructor in how to use a hand gun. A wonderful experience and definitely worth the time and modest investment if you're within 60 miles of Lake Martin, Alabama.
