My husband and I had a couples session with Lou today. Lou is an exceptional instructor, not only…read morevery well versed in firearms and safety, but with the utmost patience for two individuals who had never fired guns before. Of course, he needed much more patience with me, but he never once made me feel like I just wasn't getting it (vision and depth problem). My husband, on the other hand, did great! Lou explained everything in terms we were able to understand as new gun owners. We both took away a LOT from today's session. A most enjoyable experience, and we highly recommend Lou as an instructor.

I completed my annual LEOSA qualification this morning and had to write a review. I've been using…read moreTactical Safety Institute/Bracken Guns for my annual recertification for the last five years and I can't say enough about this organization. First, unlike a lot of other businesses, they offer LEOSA along with other certifications numerous times during the month/year. This makes getting certification/recertification a breeze. I've been in law enforcement for over 38 years as were most of the gentleman I fired with today. They made the process super easy from check-in to range time making the recertification effortless. I've been to other business who treated me like it was the first day on the range. The range officer treated us all with respect and professionalism. I highly recommend Tactical Safety Institute/Bracken Guns for your certification needs. Oh, and don't forget they also carry a variety of firearms, ammo and supplies. Supporting your local business!

If I could give a review with negative 5 stars, I would…read more I tried to purchase a rifle there, and was treated HORRIBLY. Eventually, I did discuss it with the owner, Rex, who assured me that I would be treated better. He even put me in direct contact with a manager there to deal with... so I gave it a second chance and purchased the rifle. As a 'thank you' and a 'sorry you were treated that way', they gave me and my friend (who also bought a rifle) some give cards for range time. Each card was supposed to have two trips. When I went in and tried to use my card, they rang up the range etc, and then kept the card. So I tried to explain that it was for two range visits and explained to the manager what happened previously. He even remembered what happened, and acknowledged that I was given the extras, but doubled down and said "no, you're only getting one trip to range time" and basically dared me to report to Rex. So I tried. I notified Rex via text message that I was again treated terribly,. He was away on vacation and told me that he would address it when he got back. I never heard from him. The other reviews are right. It is a nice place and clean ranges.... BUT... the customer service can be the worst you've ever seen, and the prices are high. Now I can see paying higher prices for a nice place with excellent customer service... but customer service can be as important as the product you buy... and if you're getting service as bad as this place gives... then you're paying way too high a price. I've seen Rex respond to reviews, and in those responses he states that he wishes they would reach out to mgmnt first before posting bad reviews.... but what about when you reach out to the owner (Rex) directly and he doesn't respond? Well, then, the review is warranted. I tried to give it a second chance, but when you're treated badly... and then the second chance is just as bad or worse... what then?

Everyone is so friendly, professional, welcoming, I felt comfortable.. and there have been a few ranges we have checked out here in San Antonio are I didn't feel was the right place for me. Prices are great! $15 for person. My son got a free day because of his work. It's a simple process.. scan a barcode answer some questions. They have guns you can rent, they do training classes, safety classes and even fingerprinting for your Conceal Carry. Great supplies, hats, shirts, ammo, all kinds of gun parts, ammo boxes, etc. you can rent lanes or bays. They also have an area for bows. At the front of the property there is a cool little pond with a covered area and picnic tables. Perfect for if you want to take the family but not everyone wants to go to the range they can just sit and have a picnic!! It was a cool day overall.. the area where range is thankfully is covered with big fans to help with the heat. What really made me respect this place is that every lane has a picture of a serviceman/ woman that has passed - their picture and story. Memorial for each... that shows enormous amount of respect ! They definitely gained a new customer!

My machine has kept for a month and a half and still would be there if I hadn't picked it up. I went to pick it up a couple of weeks ago and was told they couldn't open it and sent it out to her specialist which I never agreed to . He was special alright especially horrible. When I picked up my machine it was in worst condition than it was when I took it there. The owner charged me $89 and couldn't tell me exactly what was done to my machine and wouldn't give me a receipt. She was talking in circles and giving me the runaround about what was done . Her behavior was odd and suspicious. I just got out of there because I got a bad vibe. When I got home and looked at my machine it was left open and I couldn't get it to close. It also had strange scratches on the foot petal. If you have a nice machine do not take it there they will ruin your machine
