A well run facility that has something for everyone. I just stopped by to sight in my new Ar9 SBR…read moreand was impressed by the size of the place. Staff was friendly and left you alone once you got checked in. A steel plate on my lane came down and within 5 mins, someone pulled up to replace it. So points for being on top of things. Lots of lanes to shoot handgun/rifle and they had some lanes reserved for mag dumps and rapid fire. Kinda wish I had a giggle switch, but it would have been a short visit as I only had 300 rounds. I will be back the next time I'm in the area.

As a loyal member for the past 2 years, I will seriously think twice before renewing my membership…read morenext year. In fact, two of my friends have already decided not to renew theirs. There is an older gentleman in management who seems completely unhappy and shows zero hospitality or appreciation toward loyal members. The overall staff seems to have changed a lot recently too, and honestly, I can understand why they wouldn't want to stay in that kind of work environment. Even with a membership, the club has become overcrowded, oversaturated, and disorganized. It's clear this stems from management not valuing the loyal members who invest in the facility. I will be looking for another club--even if it's a bit further away--that can offer a much better experience and atmosphere. Disappointing.

On Target Sports - My daughter after some great tips from Jonathan on the range

My Ruger LCP II .22 caliber pistol really messed up and jammed badly. I got help from Jonathan, a…read morerange supervisor, who saw my ammo and suggested it wasn't right. I learned that .22 Long is not the same as .22 Long Rifle. Less grains and slightly shorter. Those bullets were jamming my gun. Looking forward to shooting with right bullets.

OTS is serviceable, but there are better experiences to be had at other ranges…read more The range itself, * The target system is very nice and modern, as is the ventilation. * Being able to staple targets is a plus. * The sound concussion is wild, .223/5.56 sounds as loud as .308s I've stood next to at other indoor ranges. Of all the places I've shot, I absolutely have to double up on hearing protection here. They really should invest in putting up sound deadening foam on the walls. As for the staff, * Some are friendly and genuinely good people, then a few are straight up standoffish. * Atmosphere in general can be somewhat unwelcoming. * The RSO's are inconsistent, one guy was perfectly fine with me practicing emergency reloads then the next time I came I was told I'm not allowed too by someone else. * You need to be a paying member just to qualify for practicing draws from concealment. I understand walking someone through safe drawing practices before giving the green light. However, other ranges will allow you to do this and work with you on safe technique, free of charge. * Way too excessive on ammunition check, once I brought in factory new sealed boxes of Fiocchi 5.56 55gr m193 ball and 9mm 115gr fmj they opened and ran a magnet through all of them. Final thoughts, This happens to be the closest indoor range to me, but I'd rather drive farther at the cost of my convenience in exchange for a better experience.

I dealt with Daniel. He took the time to answer all my questions I asked for a quote on a pistol he…read morebeat the best quote by $40 and some by 300 without knowing my lowest quote. I highly recommend the shop they seem very reasonable on gun Smith charges I couldn't be happier.

This was a 5 hour sales pitch. He taught us nothing about how to load or unload a weapon, but we…read moreknow all about the book he's writing and his career accomplishments. Dude went over very few laws, very few helpful things, but did tell us to KEEP THE GUN SAFETY OFF. We learned that any concealed position other than hip is useless, according to him. We learned that his guns are right above wholesale prices. You start with a speech about why you should buy from him. I'd say 80% of the actual class is him pushing his tactical master classes, and then you end with a speech about buying those and how "worth it" they are. If they're anything like this class, I can assure you, they are not worth it. He tries to convince you they are by telling you gun ranges are a complete and total waste of time. All the 5 star reviews look great... until you realize he bribed us to do them. You get store credit for leaving a 5 star review. (A significant amount of store credit). I did not take that opportunity because 1) I knew I wasn't going back there and 2) I wanted to leave an honest review. They do have a good warranty on their guns, (provided they actually honor it, but I don't, and won't, know). The short of it is I left that class knowing nothing. I am so grateful for a gun runners class I took 6 years ago. I learned so much more there than I did here. If this were the only weapons class I took, I would have absolutely NO business concealing a firearm. Somebody is going to get hurt.

Wow! Coming here made me fell like I was a kiddo again! But my how the gun industry has grown since…read moremy earlier years! It was fun to come into a highly reputable firearms outfit and learn about what I had missed for a large number of years. Pretty much everyone knows the big names, like Glock, S&W, Sig Sauer, Colt, etc. But there are a ton of new kids on the block that really catch the eye and look very tempting to want to own. Well, for a day, I wanted to look at something new and see how this world of firearms appears today. I have to say, Gun Gallery appears to have everything right and what you need if you desire to purchase arms and a place for target practice. As a store visitor, I was highly grateful for the time the GG Rep took to assist me with my questions and allowing me to hold a few pieces. This was much appreciated and certainly inclined me to desire to visit the store again in the future if I wish to purchase a firearm here. In the meantime, I can say they have a large array of pistols to choose from. I had to revert to my love of 007 movies and see they had a Walther PPK (what James Bond made famous). Oh my! They did! It felt good to hold for one a moment of time in my life! On another note: there are rifles here as well, along with AR-15s. Most of the rifles are in a different area near the target practice area. This is an impressive full service gun shop. They assist you with registration during your purchases and offer both personal and classroom training that enthusiasts can choose from. It also has a training class that will lead to a permit to carry as well. They do offer weapons for testing to help customers choose the best pistols or rifles for themselves. It would be difficult to hear of anyone leaving here unhappy. The Gun Gallery crew is really all about their customers and offering their best efforts toward them. Recommend: VERY HIGH

The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to assist anytime we needed help, which made us feel comfortable and safe the entire time. It was a great way to celebrate, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you're looking for a solid range with great customer service.
