The same NRA trained instructor handled both classes and made some of the "boring" parts less so. What really stood out for me was qualifying on the range the last day. The instructor was all business. No grab ass, no excuses. Safety first. If you don't cut it, you don't make it. That being said, the instructor goes above and beyond to help you make up any short comings. Well worth the money and time.

I tried tirelessly to use all of my tools to get the dang thing out to no avail. I was scrambling to find a gunsmith on this side of town and these guys popped up on my search. I did an overnight drop-off and got it back in mint condition. Best of all, it was on-the-house for active-duty military. Can't thank them enough for the help!

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.

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.

Long story short, my boyfriend moved to Maryland for work and I just started living by myself for…read morethe first time. My parents were both very worried about me living alone, so I thought a class like this would put their minds at ease as well as my own. Well the class was even better than I thought! Not only did we learn how to be more cautious of our surroundings, but Martin also taught us some moves that even little 5'2" me could use to take somebody down. After the class, I felt empowered! I feel like now I am better prepared and more aware of what is going on around me. I am an avid Yelper and I completely support and agree with everything this company is teaching. I urge everyone to take this class!

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.

Not sure why Yelp says this business is closed, but it's not true!…read more My fiance and I attended this class last night and thought it was great!! My fiance is former military and police and he even learned a few things in the class. Roger was an amazing instructor and made it easy to learn and be confident in firing a gun. Half the class was lecture and the other half was practicing with simulator guns. I would highly recommend his class if you are interested in getting your conceal and carry.

This company has turned predatory…read more I recommended this company to a friend, as I previously took a very good class there. My opinion has changed. Yes it is during the coronavirus. Yes things are right. But they essentially provided an online course with the cost of 100$ and a separate affadavit required to get the necessary licensing, and told my friend to go elsewhere to have someone else sign the form. No instructor in their right mind is going to sign a form on someone else's training. This is a money gouging play, and the details are not well provided, and it should not be allowed to stand.

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.
