    Great quiet spot and friendly. Spotless ladies room. Family friendly. Unpretentious, nothing fancy, relaxed environment with awesome rates. Plenty of parking. Stay as long as you like no one rushes you. Ladies free day on Thursdays. Classes on Wednesday and Saturday.

    A great place to practice your handgun skills. The gun shop has plenty to choose from if you are in the market.

    During a recent visit to Sarasota, God's waiting room, I decided it was the perfect time to rent a pistol and introduce my 11-year old to the joy of target shooting. This is something I can't do in New York City because firearms are a privilege only for the police. And felons. Until this point in time, my son's experience with recoil was limited to video games and a BB rifle - which is to say he had no experience with it. I opted for the Ruger .22 to gently introduce him to the concept. No need to freak him out with the bowel-liquefying concussion from a .45. We found Tim to be very helpful. He was great at easing my son's borderline-neurotic fears about going deaf from the noise. Tim had him try on ear protection until he found something he liked, and we added some foam earplugs to boot. At Tim's suggestion I loaded only one round into the magazine at a time for the first several shots. We eventually worked up to a full clip. In short order we found ourselves needing another box of ammo. And another. And another. The boy was hooked. I have to say, it turns out the boy's a pretty good shot at 20 feet. We'll be prepared in the event we're ever attacked by paper silhouettes.

    Mom is shooting.

    On October 20th I was privileged to participate in Mr. Mariucci's Pistol Barriers / Cover &…read moreConcealment Course. Through a series of skill building exercises we were introduced to the concept of alternating the targeting eye from right to left as the line of sight changed from one source of cover to another. This allowed for less exposure and a better use of cover while moving from one point to the next. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in defensive shooting. On November 17th I was able to attend Mr. Mariucci's Pistol Contact / Retention Fighting Course. This was the first time I was able to use my everyday carry pistol and IWB holster. This allowed me to identify a fault in my gun manipulation from drawing with one hand and shooting then transitioning to a two handed grip and continuing to fire. I have been able to address this problem thanks to this class. We were then taught a weapon retention technique that is simple to remember yet effective in allowing the time and space required to fire on an assailant while protecting your face and head from blows. I would recommend this course to all who concealed carry.

    The couples course was very enlightening for both of us. We developed more skill, of course. But,…read moremore importantly we discovered what we need to do next to train to improve our chances of survival in an armed conflict. We also were humbled to learn how hard it is to discern between threats and "non-threats". The class really drove home the immense responsibility inherent in choosing to carry. I highly recommend it. I will be taking more classes as the opportunities arise. In addition, the emphasis on fundamentals has given me a clear direction on what to do next.

    Not just another shooting range -- this place truly stands out!…read more I came in to refresh my shooting skills after some time away, and it turned into such an amazing experience. My husband and I started our day at their coffee shop espresso bar -- the cappuccinos are perfectly on target! It's such a clean, comfortable space to relax while shopping for a new firearm or waiting for a class. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. They offer so much more than a typical range -- concealed carry classes, G-license recertification, private one-hour training sessions, self-defense, judo, and a massive simulator with realistic tactical scenarios. They even host birthday parties and have an impressive tactical maze -- all in Building One! And those are just a few of the many classes they offer -- there's something for every skill level and interest. Building Two is where our family of six enjoys time together on the range. We always feel completely safe knowing there are highly trained experts with many qualifications monitoring and guiding everyone to ensure all safety rules are followed. The lanes are clean and well-maintained, and there's even a comfortable lounge with a TV for breaks between rounds. Every detail here shows how much they care about safety, professionalism, and creating a great experience for everyone. I bring my most precious family members here, and I always feel confident we're in capable hands. This has become one of our favorite family places -- we can't wait to come back!

    Great experience on the simulator! Mike was a great instructor! The whole facility was top notch,…read morehighly recommended!

I don't wear crazy pro-gun t-shirts and I don't belong to the NRA, but I do believe in protecting my family. To do that I need to be safe and proficient and that's where practice and gun ranges like these fine folks come in. This is an outdoor range which is significant in states with temperatures like Florida. In January and February, it's a great place to shoot. In the afternoons in July and August, not so much. That's why indoor ranges with AC are so popular here. The other issue is pistols or long guns and this place handles both. Lots of folks' love that! They are currently open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to the public. Other than temperature and open hours there is a lot to like here. They are priced right; around $15 for a day pass. Annual memberships are available which give you access every day of the week. The facilities are nice, and they often make improvements. The staff are friendly and proficient and incredibly safety conscious as they should be. They are family friendly as long as strict range safety is practiced. If you need to get some practice in without taking out a second mortgage, they would be a fine choice.
