I've only been to one other range, so I don't have much to compare Talon to. That said, I'm happy with my annual membership which allows me to bring one other person for free each visit. I just have a pistol, so the only bays I've been to are 1-5. They are right in front of the office where you sign in and out. You can walk from the parking lot to the bay or you can drive there. The shooting bays are more or less private and surrounded on all sides by berms. If the measuring app on my phone is to be believed, bays 1-5 offer up to 50 ft distance depending on where you stand. There is a camera watching each bay, so make sure you follow range rules. As for the rest of the facilities, I was never offered a tour or orientation, so i couldn't say. If you are thinking of coming here, there is a waiver and safety quiz you have to fill out. You can do it in their office, but it's easier imho to do it on their website before you arrive. You can rent their equipment or bring your own. read more

Way pricey for 2 for an hour or so. No place to put our paper targets. However few with outdoor setting. read more

THE SCENE I know little to nothing about guns and shooting ranges... except for the old Duck Hunt game on Atari (which I used to be fairly good at). I'd only been shooting once decades ago, and it was indoor. So while visiting my son during his very impromptu wedding weekend, all the guys thought it would be a good idea to go shoot some rounds as sort of a Bachelor Party celebration. What is more American Male than that, eh? Truthfully, I'm not really into it, but my youngest two boys were super stoked. So I said "SURE! Why not!" My son is ex-military and was thrilled at the opportunity to be the first to train his younger siblings. They in turn were out-of-their-mind excited to learn. So much so in fact that I think we might make this a regular monthly thing. After all, considering all that is going on in the world today, it didn't seem like a bad idea to get them trained to defend themselves. More on that later. ~ THE EXPERIENCE My son first took us to a place called Kevin's to buy several rounds of ammo. He said it was much cheaper than buying @ Talon. Next we arrived @ Talon's main office, watched a 10 minute safety video, took a test based on the video and signed waivers. There are two times in life I've been uncomfortable signing waivers. One was when I went sky diving and the other here. Basically, you are giving up any legal rights to pursue them in the event you are injured or killed. Next we drove to the actual shooting field, where we go inside another building to pick-up our gear, pay for all participants and pick our range. Some have metal targets while others use paper targets. There were no metal target ranges available, but my son requested to be notified IF one became available while we were shooting on a paper range. It did, so we were lucky the younger boys had a chance to practice on both! We shot using both 30mm & 45mm pistols. I did one round of each while my sons did about 5 rounds using each. While they did surprisingly good on the paper targets, they were practically Clint Eastwood on the metal targets. It was easy to physically see their excitement. All I had to say was "WOW son" and each of them would burst into a grin wider than Cheshire Cat! The youngest could not stop smiling the entire visit and eagerly showed his friends back home the video I took of him killing it on the range! NOTES: Be sure to use ear protectors to keep from damaging your hearing. It was waaaay louder than I expected. ~ FINAL THOUGHTS When I asked my sons why they wanted to go to the shooting range, I was expecting the normal male answer. "It would be fun" or something along the lines of "for the thrills". What I did not expect was this: "Dad, we are scared. With all that is going on, we just want to feel safe and learn how to defend ourselves." As far as shots go, that struck me dead in my heart. 2020 / 51 read more

This is my second year as a member. As a whole, the range is very well maintained and a great place to shoot. The pro shop and main office is clean and well sticked and the folks working there are very helpful. I have not been into classroom A yet, but the clubhouse and restrooms are clean, tidy and inviting. I really enjoy the ranges, as each "lane" is semi-private with the sand berms on three sides. There is also a car port in each one, with a picnic table, trash can, fan and a rifle rack. Today was my first time at the .22 rimfire interactive range. There were four sets of steel spinning targets that we had fin shooting at as a family. Again, the lane is private, so once you assign it to yourself in the pro shop, no one else will join you there. Archers have a 3D target range and they also have skeet and sporting clays - which I have yet to try. Whether going for a day or buying a membership, the range is a safe, friendly place to enjoy shooting sports. read more

We handed over our licenses, signed a release, watched a 10 minute waiver & 5 minutes rules video, & took a written test before we were allowed in the range. We were set up with tape, targets, ammo with protective eye and ear gear. Well run, organized, clean friendly outdoor range. We had a private shooting range surrounded by high wide berns, a fan, picnic table for as long as we wanted. read more

I went one time and will never go back. The guy at the counter was a complete jerk. The prices are outrageous!!!

Great place for all your range needs. Helpful and attentive service. They are everything you want in a gun range. They are strong on safety. Not pushy or know it all's. read more

On my third year as a member and enjoy the facilities. Employees are nice and you don't feel rushed to hurry up and finish shooting. Most thought out construction of a range that I have ever seen. I feel safe there as you are not on an open line doing your pistol shooting with people standing near you shooting. The skeet ranges are nice also. The rifle ranges are sufficiently large to have room for all the shooters. Especially like the rule saying don't give unsolicited advice as it eliminates the "experts" from trying to "correct or improve" your marksmanship on the rifle range. read more

Just finished the concealed carry course and had a great time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating toward inexperienced shooters. The concealed carry course here is above and beyond what you would usually expect. We also had ample shooting time with a wide array of handguns. I personally tried out about 15 different guns until I was sure on the model I want to buy to protect myself with. read more

Talon is the best range I have ever been to in my life. They have a massive facility. They have individual bays to shoot on where there is NO time limit or sharing with strangers. You pull up to the bay and shoot until you are done. They have a 200 yard rifle range that even has a steel plate to shoot. They also have a bay just for .22 ammo. They have two steel bays that have steel plates, steel silhouettes, steel tree and more. Incredible! Their skeet and trap range has a tone of stations where you can practice any kind of shotgun shooting. I honestly don't want to move away from Tallahassee because of this awesome range. It is home away from home for me. Talon is owned by law enforcement and has the best classes a range can offer. They also have steel and USPSA matches monthly. They host GSSF matches once a year. There are so many reasons to love this place. Go see what it's all about. read more

Hello. I'm annual gold member. I like many things about the range but I have a complaint about maintenance. I don't think any of the fans work. Many Target frames are falling apart. Your steel targets are worn out and should be replaced with better quality. Several of the steels have broken hinges, bolts missing or bolt frozen so can't be adjusted. Or steel hinges so stiff or unbalanced you can't flip them even with a clean hit w a 357 magnum. Your archery area needs significant maintenance and all of the archery targets are rotten and shredded and years past when they should have been replaced. Figured I'd tell you my concerns directly but your published email address doesn't work. read more

Killer place :) They know their stuff....they require a safety video and an exam which is incredibly important to us! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and this range is worth a "shot." read more

Talon is the best, even in the rain! But when you finally get your gun, ya just have to go to the range! read more

Talon Training Group - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Midway, Florida

The pistol ranges are awesome u have ur own private area, but my only complaint is that the 100 yrd range the tables are to low they barely come up to my belt line, and it makes it feel like ur in the prone position while shooting from a bar stool which for a tall person like me is very uncomfortable the tables need to come up another couple of inches or the bar stools need to be a little shorter but other then that it's a great place to shoot ,so since I'm now into shooting bolt action rifles and the tables are so uncomfortable I'm going to give it 3 stars unfortunately but if it wasn't for that I would definitely give it 5 stars !! read more
