First time here since it changed hands and I enjoyed it. Was going to GT but it's gotten too busy…read moreand some of the employees talk down to you. Glad to have another place to keep up on practice.

Freedom Outdoors is a welcome replacement for the old Colonial Shooting Academy in a great many…read moreways, and frankly we are lucky to get a new range option in a region without many of them. To avoid going through this review like I have a chip on my shoulder, I'll say it straight: I did not like Colonial at all, and Freedom Outdoors does everything so much better. Excellent staff who aren't rude or combative for no reason, reasonable range rules, and clean shooting bays without weird columns in the middle make this place an ideal destination. The biggest change is the staff, particularly the RSOs: they are cool and focused on making sure everything is safe but also without micromanaging every shooter. The one I interacted with during my range time was friendly and answered my questions without issue. The counter staff were quite busy but still processed me quickly. The shooting bays are quite nice, with a nice polished wood area to lay your guns while not in use and to do reloading, though they also have a few chairs behind the bays for that too. They use the standard electronic "fly in, fly out" target system where you can bring it in to attach paper targets and then send it to a distance of your choice. I was surprised the place wasn't busier for a Saturday, though that made my life easier since I wanted a somewhat calmer spot to test my new gun. I did not rent any of their guns this time though they appeared to have a good number of them. I didn't spend much time in their store, though they have a decent selection of firearms and accessories, with an ammo section in a separate room that I did shop from. One thing I noticed is that most of their firearm offerings are more common ones, as compared to the huge revolver collection that was here with Colonial. My one gripe is the cost of a lane: $30 for an hour for one person (or even their $50 for 2 people) is a lot of money. Their only competitor in the area is Green Top, which is $25 for an hour for one person and $40 for two. Essentially there are a few things worth paying the extra money for if you choose to come here: proximity to where you live (Green Top is a bit of a drive north), a calmer shooting experience (assuming it stays the way it is now), the chance of getting to shoot for a little longer than an hour if they aren't busy, and the fact that they are cool with you shooting full-auto/binary. For example, if I wanted to teach someone how to shoot, rent a full-auto or shoot my binary, or planned to shoot a LOT of ammo, I would choose Freedom. If I just wanted to get some basic shooting in with a friend who already knew how to shoot, I might go with Green Top purely because it's cheaper. Ultimately, it's up to you whether it's worth the drive to save $10. Super glad to have Freedom Outdoors in our backyard and will definitely return again soon! ---- Overall: 4.5 stars Pros: - Excellent range staff, top-notch RSOs. - Range rules are fair and non-restrictive. - Nicely-redone bays make for a pleasant (dare I say upscale?) experience. - Good selection of rentals, equipment, etc. - Same excellent parking lot as their predecessors. Cons: - $50 is a lot for an hour's entertainment, but in the circumstances I've outlined above, it's well worth it.

The thought that people still spend their money here makes me want to scream. On EVERY occasion…read morewhen I've come in here, there's this douchey man who is overweight and balding (bald?) who just stares you down and is rude as shit. I'm talking from 2012/2013 to as recent as last year. No exception, whether I've come in by myself or with my boyfriend, he just stares you down and won't even address you. The most recent time (about this time last year) I came in for work purposes, and to place an order for custom badges....to the tune of 5k. This douche (not to sound redundant but it's a fitting word) did the SAME thing then. I'd say it's just me perhaps, but come to find out others have had a similar experience, so I'm noping the hell out of this place. Unfortunately, I think this place is only still in business because they have local contracts. It certainly isn't their customer service! If you're looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, personable shopping experience - drive a little further and check out Town Police on the corner of hull and courthouse. That's who gets my business now and who I send people to!

New to the area. Ordered a rifle online and used SPE as my FFL. When I got there I paid $75 (more…read morethan double what others charge) for the FFL fee. They're overpriced on almost every item I saw there, including ammunition and magazines. Would recommend you go elsewhere - this "family owned business" is price gouging.
