Hands down the best place to go shooting - at any level. I am incredibly grateful to Wes for…read moreproviding what was an absolutely amazing shooting experience. Couldn't have imagined a better experience if I tried! I initially called to check availability and Wes was very friendly and answered all my preliminary questions. When I arrived, he took time to recommend a rental - the phoenix trinity 2011 (which was amazing to shoot) - and explained the reasoning behind that choice. All of his advice was spot on and he then took the time to explain grip, stance, safety, and answer the multitude of questions I had. He even took the time to let me practice with dummy rounds so I was comfortable reloading and knew how everything worked. At no point did anyone make me feel bad about being a beginner - despite there being other customers who clearly were much more advanced than me. The rentals are also very noticeably well maintained. Since this was my first time shooting at a range and I didn't feel comfortable being alone, he incredibly kindly contributed his time to come in to the lanes with me and make sure I was comfortable, doing everything right/safely, and answer further questions. I can't begin to express my gratitude for Wes spending so much of his time to make this experience once I thoroughly enjoyed. I learned so much and I can't wait to come back! I would go out of my way to come back to this place specifically - it's worth it. Thank you Wes and the team and Modern Warriors for providing a place people can learn and feel comfortable and happy at any level! A few notable things (there's so much more though, you really have to experience it for yourself): - incredibly kind and welcoming staff; - very wide range of well maintained rentals; - ear and eye protection - earplugs and a high tech pair of ear defenders that block out gunshot noise but still allow you to hear the person you're talking to); - immaculately clean place - like they thought of every detail; - Reasonably priced - and worth every penny!

To start, this is now Modern Warriors Franklin- What an amazing gun store/range! I'm a 1911/2011…read moreguy who competes frequently... and this store along with the Nashville location have the very best selection I have ever seen. Very rare, and high end pistols you just can't find anywhere else, incredible selection of rifles, suppressors, and gear; and the friendliest most professional staff with incredible customer service. Regarding the range, it's never too busy and very clean/professional. I'm all about voicing criticisms, but with MW; I simply don't have any. This is my go-to.

First the Ugly. This is a rustic range. There are no bells and whistles (well there is 1 but I…read morewill get to that). The buildings are made from sawmill lumber that give a great down to earth feel to the place. All of the customers that I have met there are nice and polite. The employees are very professional without being stuffy about it. The rifle range only goes out to 200 yards, which is far enough for just about all hunters as well as far enough out for a fair amount of just fun target shooting. The pistol lanes are semi-enclosed. By that I mean there is overhead cover as well as walls separating every 3 lanes. The furthest you can back up is about 20 yards which is plenty for pistols. There is a shoot house (probably the only real bell or whistle here). It can play generic music and noises as well as anything you have on your smart phone, or other digital device. They have go-pro's that you can use to record your adventure through the house. Since it sits down in a hollow spectators can watch from a birds eye view safely. There are also trap and archery areas that I have not used as of yet. All in all this is a very nice range to go to. As a side note for those with children just call them up and ask if your child can shoot. From my experience if there is a very young child on the line that isn't an issue provided there is at least one adult with them at all times who is not shooting (so two parents with 1 child is fine, provided only one parent is firing at any given time). I am not sure what the youngest age is so it is best to call them up. For thoes who like to watch watermelons, apples, oranges and the like get shot - there is an area here where that can be done safely. They do not allow any targets that cannot be easily removed to be shot - so no bottles, cans, T.V.'s and the like. I attended the Tennessee carry class (the class needed to get your concealed carry permit). I scheduled this about 3 days earlier and I was the only one in the class! So for all intents I had a 4 hour class one-on-one with the instructor. This was great partly because the class didn't have to have a certain number of people or get canceled (I am told they never cancel a class and they are able to teach it every day of the work week) and partly because I was able to ask more detailed questions without feeling like I am slowing down the others in the class.

Being from Long Island New York I can tell you there's no place up here as good as this place but…read morethat may not be saying much. In town for a week and went to shoot here. 10$ for the whole day. Woman at check in counter was polite. Since it's 10$ a day we took a lot of ammo with us and spent close to 5 hours there. Not just shooting but meeting and talking to some interesting people. Some who have never been outside of rural Tennessee so meeting an outsider from New York who shoots was something different for them. As far as the range there's rifle with points at 50,100 and 200 yards. 2 large pistol ranges, a shotgun pit, a shoot house, trap and I think archery as well. The place is large. So large that you'll drive from the office to the pistol range. I enjoyed it so much there I went a second time. So if you in middle Tennessee and looking for a place to shoot this is your place.

FYI I've only been there twice thus far…read more TLDR Good service, knowledgeable, not pushy. Went in after researching what I wanted. I only planned on getting a price, but they got me bro. The offer was too good. Maybe it was the friendly staff, maybe it was the K9 employee. (it MIGHT let you pet it). They were patient and knowledgeable. I can be a bit much and ask seemingly stupid questions. The background check took a bit (not their fault) and I only made 2 errors on my spelling which they helped me fix without issue. They snuck away and mounted the optic without me getting a chance to ask. I suspect they kissed it gently goodbye given the care I saw them take. A lovely older woman brought a firearm in to clean and an old BB gun that wasn't working. They couldn't fix it , but they did recognize the value of the BB gun based on its age and condition. I didn't have time to checkout their range on this visit, but I do plan on it.

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.

I've been waiting for nearly 2 years to go here since they were closed for renovations on the rifle…read moreranges. Not only were the rifle ranges renovated but the ENTIRE site was renovated! The renovations were built using quality materials (thick wood and steel) and are meant for long term use. Montgomery county outdid themselves with this project. Props to the team at MCSC for doing a fantastic job! The road leading to the range is freshly paved and very smooth. Some of the ranges I've been to have bumpy dirt roads to access the area. This place there's no need to worry about any of that. You could drive a mustang out there and not worry about it getting stuck or scratched. I talked with the folks in the office and they were very friendly and welcoming. Friday is the day to go if you want a more relaxed and quiet experience, since it's less busy that day. Saturday and Sundays are usually the more busier days, weather permitting. They do offer a lot in exchange for any volunteers that want to help out, free range time being one of them. I took some pictures on my phone and from a drone and you'll be able to see the scale of this place. No matter what kind of firearm you have, there's a place for you to have fun. The 400 yard rifle range will be open at the end of the month, as long as everything goes according to plan. All other ranges are open. For those of you that are wanting to shoot bows, I did notice an archery range. I didn't shoot at this visit, but I will be updating this review once I have the time to try out every exhibit. I did meet the manger of MCSC and she was very kind to me. I will be updating some of these pictures with ones taken directly overhead of each individual range.

This is an amazing facility. Everything from steel pistol range to long distance rifle range. I am…read morevery impressed. The staff is extremely nice and helpful as well! Worth the time and money to go.
