Terrible Service. Purchased a Groupon for a date day. Arrived and was told they close at five and they were unable to accommodate our Groupon. Mind you they booked the appointment when I called. So, they knew how much time was required. Suggested, we could pay $50 and do something else.. And rebook Groupon for another day. Seems shady.. Didn't get the manager. Didn't care we just drove all the way across town and got as sitter. Told me the Groupon has no expiration. Incorrect.. It does. I won't be supporting a business that doesn't care about its customers. Buyer beware. read more

I have a great time here every time I go. The staff is super nice and professional. Very knowledgeable as well. Facility is very clean and tidy. They have free water and lead cleaning soap in the clean bathrooms. The range is great. Very safe , CCV, and controlled access. I have a membership hip now, so I can take in my own ammo, although theirs is only about 20-30% higher than cabelas down the road. Really not bad. I shoot Blazer 9mm and can find it for 9-11 for 50 rounds. I think they charge 12. They charge $10 inspection fee for members. Overall this place rocks for a fun place to shoot with a lot of nice professional guys to help you out anyway they can. read more

For $100, students deserve decent set of handouts. Vincent is an excellent instructor (Womens' Handgun Safety) but Kevin was only there to promote USCCA's $39 per month memberships, for a spiff he gets from signing up people. The course itself was decent 3-1/2 hours. Had to write throughout class, as no handouts were provided. Certificate should suffice for Conceal & Carry permit, Vincent said. Kevin tried to up sell once again, saying another course was required. read more

The store is very unethical. They claim to have bullets when you talk to them on the phone but claim that they have none if you bring your own. Even worse they'll charge you for inspecting your bullets when they have none to sell you. They're basically selling you your own bullets. The manager was so rude and refused to apologize. Good luck shooting here unless you bring your own bullets. Even then, insist on waiving the inspection fee. Will never come again! read more

The claim to fame for Threat Dynamics is their virtual shooting simulators where you fire modified guns with CO2 magazines at virtual ranges or interactive videos of bad guys taking people hostage or trying to kill you. This is no Wild-West first person shooter video game experience as you're encouraged to follow the proper rules of engagement and Oregon laws. You can do the scenarios in cooperative teams, which makes for a great experience for corporate team building and birthday parties. For the extra brave or the manliest of men (or women), they have shock belts for zapping you when you get "shot" by the sim. And those things hurt!! But they will give you a real adrenaline rush after the first time you fail. This place recently moved from their location in Tualatin. It looks like some map programs haven't been updated with the new address yet so make sure you're heading to Tualatin-Sherwood and not Tonka. The new location has more room and all the fun virtual shooting sims as before. It's great for training and introducing someone who's squeamish or inexperienced with firearms to get acclimated without the deafening loud bangs or danger. And when they're ready to graduate to real guns, they also have a new live-fire range. If you don't own a gun, they have firearms available to rent for the range. The only downside is that it's a bit on the expensive side and if you don't schedule an appointment in advance, finding a time slot for the sims can be difficult or impossible. Apart from that, the people here are friendly and very knowledgeable, and I highly recommend this place! read more

I'll preface this review by admitting that I have almost no interest in guns. I am not enamored by them, fascinated with them, or excited by the prospect of shooting one. My visit to Threat Dynamics was one of necessity and not one of desire to shoot 'em up. This review may be marginally biased accordingly. By all accounts I am not comfortable around guns and I don't like the sense of unease I get by standing in an enclosed room with armed complete strangers whose mental state is unknown to me. Every possible What-If runs through my head and the desire to walk out is intense. And this is where the instructor at TD needs to do a good job. He needs to put me at ease by explaining things so that the unknown becomes known and I can develop some degree of comfortableness. And he did. Phenomenally even. I had a private lesson that included basic handgun instruction including safety, handling, and marksmanship. It was about an hour in length, but the one-on-one approach meant it was tailored to my needs and that flexibility in the curriculum allowed for some solid instruction (and four well executed shots to a target). I hope I never have to shoot a gun at a living thing, but I feel significantly more confident that if I ever encounter an animal intent on making me their supper while hiking through the backwoods I will be able to defend myself with a weapon slightly more capable of defense than the can of bear spray that has heretofore been my sole protection. Sidenote: Bonus points to the instructor who took the time to explain a variety of bullets to me after the class. What you want in your weapon for home defense is not what you want in your weapon when hiking in the bear riddled back country of Alaska. This seems incredibly obvious, but to a novice like me, it wasn't; I appreciate that he knew enough to mention it and make recommendations. read more

Threat Dynamics - The results of a good lesson. - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Sherwood, Oregon

A thousand thanks to Threat Dynamics' fantastic instructors. So far, I've taken the Concealed Carry course from two instructors, and a private lesson with Cory. Both were first rate. The Concealed Cary instructors were both professional, knowledgeable and concise. A former teacher, I appreciated their thorough and interesting presentation. They did not waste a second. Now I can safely and legally carry in multiple western states. My private lesson with Cory was, well, unbelievable! First, we spent time in the classroom with my pistol. He taught me appropriate grip; aim; and slow, accurate firing technique. I practiced dry-firing with such detailed instruction that, once on the range, I fired very accurately. Next, the simulators. I wish every civilian had the chance to shoot in simulators, in order to know the danger, complexity and difficulty of split-second decision-making when criminals are shooting at you. I walked away with even greater respect for law enforcement folks. Thanks, again, Threat Dynamics. I can't wait to get back. read more

***Completely Impressed**** I've been to the prev location for classes and enjoyed the instructors BUT the new location is by far a HUGE compliment to the same staff and instructors! ! Being a female and just getting into the shooting atmosphere, the staff and especially "Josh" extremely helpful both over phone and in person! Truly appreciate your commitment! All the staff goes above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable. . Our son wanted to go shooting for the first time for his 14th bday, so we did. . Everything turned out perfect and better than expected! And If this is your first time, recommend the one on one instructor! Will definitely be worth your $$. Women's restroom is very well equipment for woman and looks good! Great job welcoming us:) All in all, hands down to the best out there! We as a family are looking forward to our return soon. . read more

This is a great place to learn how to use a firearm effectively and safely. I have worked with all of the staff members at TD and they have been awesome. Shooting a pistol is not easy, requires focus and discipline and an investment of time, faith and money. It's worth it though, especially if you get to work with a group of guys like this. Patient, professional, nonjudgmental. And pretty amazing shots too. Don't get me started. Thank goodness for this place. read more

This place is Awesome! My Fiancé and I went here for our anniversary. We got a groupon for the virtual shooting range/situations, and a live fire session. The virtual range was really cool, they had us use modified Glock 17's and practiced on the range, the instructor gave lots of good tips and information on the guns and how to handle them. Also when we got to the virtual situation simulation, which was like a very realistic video game, the instructor helped us understand how to handle complex scenarios which was very cool and an eye opening experience. When we got to the live fire portion, the employees have a very good explanation of the firearms we chose to take to the range, tops and even a crash course in gun safety. Overall it was a blast going to Threat Dynamics, it was not only fun but a very informative and eye opening experience about firearms and safety. I can't wait to return in the future to take some of their gun safety and marksmanship classes. GO TO THREAT DYNAMICS, you won't be disappointed ;) read more

Attentive & courteous staff; well-lit range. When I first walked in, all the staff was already talking to customers, but they still acknowledged my existence. Took a private lesson w/ Colin; great instructor w/ precise & clear instructions. The firing range was clean & well-lit. I had a great time shooting there. This was the only range I've been to, so can't compare it to the other ones, but I'll definitely return & recommend it. read more

Invited a friend to come down from Washington and do some simulator shooting. He had a blast. Dave and I are both retired military and using the simulator Cory pointed out our bad habits and our shooting improved immensely. I think Dave might start coming down more often and become a member. Thanks Cory for a great session. read more

In my opinion, Threat Dynamics (TD) is the best place in the Portland metro area for firearms training and services. TD has an excellent live fire range and a ton of other amazing services. The friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful customer service is also outstanding. Detailed list of services below... 1. On their indoor live fire range, they allow you to use handguns, rifles and even shotguns up to a range of 25 yards. 2. TD also has fantastic computer assisted real-life scenario simulators ("Threat Arena" and "Threat Alley"). These are kind of like virtual reality except you're actually able to move around in a physical space and you encounter a wide variety of realistic life and death situations using a real Glock 19 pistol (well, it's an Glock 19 airgun, but feels almost like firing a gun with live bullets - just a bit less recoil and not nearly as loud). You even have the option to wear an electric shock belt that simulates the feeling of getting shot if you make a mistake. This is as close to the real thing as you can get without actually going into an actual combat or true-life self defense situation. Volk was my instructor and he did an amazing job at improving my shooting and tactical skills. I think this is the best handgun self defense training I've ever experienced. I can't recommend it highly enough. 3. TD also offers a wide variety of other excellent training. I personally did my concealed handgun permit training (CHL licence) at TD with Kevin Cooley as my instructor. He was great. Their certification training will take you through all of the steps to get a concealed carry permit from the state of Oregon (as well as an option to also get permits from Utah and Arizona without having to take an extra course - but there is an extra charge for each additional state). If you get all 3 state permits, you'll be covered to legally carry concealed in something like 40 of the 50 states). 4. You can even rent a fully automatic machine gun. It's a bit pricey, but the only place in the Portland metro area that I know of where you can scratch this particular Rambo itch. 5. As another convenience, TD provides Fingerprinting services. This makes it faster and easier to get your CHL completed. Also, I needed to get fingerprinted for a work-related security need. TD was one of the few places in town providing this service during COVID. They were a life saver. On top of all this, the service at TD is outstanding. Nicolas and Cindy are super friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and professional. It's always a pleasure to go to TD because of them. read more

My first time ever shooting at the gun range it was very wonderful I recommend new or old shooters to go here my first time going they hooked me up to paperwork only took 10 minutes of the nice guy who read it to me because of my disability afterwards he showed me around and then I asked for 40 rounds he gave me a 10 rounds for free The guy was very nice all the people there are very very nice and I recommend whoever wants to shoot any firearm they will take it I was trying to look for a place that takes A.R. 15's and this is the place to take thank you so much for having my first shooting range the best read more

We were already familiar with Threat Dynamics, but when we walked in for the first time to buy a gift certificate for our dad, we were blown away at how awesome the guys were. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and super helpful. We bought dad's certificate and offered to take our 18 year old son for his birthday gift. We're also looking forward to coming back ourselves. I'll update my review after we've gone through. Oh and we loved the many options available for sale in the lobby, and we were pleased to be offered the opportunity to watch a 2 minute video. It really sold us on wanting to come back on our own. read more

This is quite possibly the best pistol range I've ever been to. The staff are insanely friendly and helpful. One guy was from my home in San Diego! Being from Commiefornia/Kaliforniastan/etc, having the opportunity to try out things I can't at home is great! Silencer? Sure. The facility is amazing. Very well vented, clean, with helpful range officers nearby. I like the attention to detail to safety. As a firearm owner, to have it drilled into my head over and again is something I take very seriously. The fact that they go over the basics with you in a non-condescending manner makes me feel confident that the staff here takes safety seriously, and confident that the customers also take safety seriously. The price is quite fair compared to the other offerings around Portland. And bringing in your own ammo with a one-time small fee is already better than the other ranges in Portland. I haven't tried the simulations yet, but I intend to when I go back up there again. They look very cool. I went just for the range, and left exclaiming "this is the best indoor range I've ever been to." Thanks guys! I hope you guys have many decades of solid business, so whenever I visit, I can use your amazing facilities! read more

This place is awesome. Everyone is super knowledgeable and friendly. They also let you visit NFA items that are locked up in jail which is pretty awesome. The place is new and clean. Their classes are awesome and they have some really good membership deals. read more

I go to Threat Dynamics about once a week. The staff is awesome. Very knowledgeable, always nice and professional. The classes are a great. They offer a wide range. The instructors know their stuff and have a lot of experience.... which helps you pay attention! If you want a place that's affordable and a lot of fun.... this is the place! read more

Nicholas Walker is one of the best managers I have met. Excellent customer service. All around great experience every time I go there. Highly recommend this place! read more

I went here with a buddy and we spent an hour on the simulator. We got our feet wet with the the one screen simulator and then went to the multi-screen simulator. The staff was great and we had very good time. This seems to be a very well run operation with a focus on quality. Definitely plan to come back, maybe with a group of friends. The simulator really makes you appreciate how fast law enforcement or the military need to make decisions and how easy it would be to make a mistake. I came away with a greater appreciation for how difficult their jobs can be read more

cindy is the best!! thank you again for the amazing experience! cant wait to come back again #leos read more

They helped me learn my Glock and how to clean it. I also tested it out in the shooting range and had a worker helping me the whole time. Amazing experience! read more

I came here for the first time last week. A fire was started, this led to me purchasing the same firearm the following day that had been recommended. It was recommended that I try shooting the S&W .380. Their customer service is top notch and I was highly impressed with their knowledge and their professionalism but friendliness. I highly recommend everyone visit and pick their brains about what would be suitable for you as an individual. Thanks to you all for your excellent service and facility. I am very grateful. read more

Great place to shoot !! The staff is awesome and the lanes are good . They have multiple rooms to train in the pricing is good too.

We came here as a team building event for work. Being prior military I enjoy guns and shooting them but I quickly learned that we were not going to shoot real guns and I was intrigued. Turns out they have two simulators. With the sims you get an airgun that runs off CO2. #1 rule, watch how you position your hand behind the gun with your grip because you get get the web of you hand pinched when the gun cocks to "shoot". Thankfully this did not happen to me but I could imagine it hurting. Okay so, one of the sims is a 300 degree simulator that submerges you literally smack dab in the middle of the action. Now this one is WAY COOL and even cooler is the fact that they are in the process of almost completing a newly developed, proprietary sim that is 340 degrees an will be one solid screen completely surrounding you. I could only imagine how cool this is going to be after experiencing the multi-screen 300 degree simulator. Another fun part about this sim is you can put on a belt that will act as just a rumble pack OR will actually zap the crap out of you if you happen to get shot by a bad guy in the sim. You have to sign a waiver. I was hella down to try this mild form of torture out hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Best; I kill the bad guy before getting shot and never get zapped. Worst; I get shot and zapped to all hell. Well...I DID kill my bad guy but not before he got one single shot off that managed to get me good! Ended up w/ two red spots on my side for like 2 days. It stung like crazy but was definitely worth it to bump up the experience and realness. The other simulator was a single screen that supported up to five gun toters at once in a row like an actual range type feel. This is the first sim we did as a prep. I really really enjoyed this one! We did target practice from various distances and even got to do a live sim or three with bad guys and hostage situations. These are really just an absolute BLAST! Best part is for this simulator in particular you can do 10 sim events for only $35! Now that's a pretty dang good deal! I cannot wait to take the wife to do some sim shooting. She's going to love it and it's a great way to introduce her to firearms. Lastly you can rent actual guns by the hour, and a vast variety at that! You can buy ammo and targets and shoot stuff...for real. We didn't do that but I know the wife and I will be to that level soon enough! read more

Great place for team building or indoor shooting. I've been here multiple times for teambuilder events and it never disappoints.

I attended both the beginners and intermediate classes and they were very well taught. I have some shooting experience but I haven't gone shooting in years and just wanted a refresher course. Well everything I was taught in the past, they went over it in the beginners class and then some. We were able to shoot in the small simulator room. That was fun! The intermediate class was fun as well. The first hour was a refresher of dos and don'ts as well as cases of misfires and problems. Then we moved on to the small simulator for a few shots then moved on to the range. There, they had 9-10 gun options. They gave us 10 rounds per gun. They even gave us a chance to shoot again if we really liked the gun. Overall great experience. I'm so glad I signed up. read more

Came in to TD for a corporate outing last week. Didn't really know what to expect and we were all blown away! Loved it! Dan , our instructor, took us through the entire set of virtual options. Targets , Scenarios and 360 screen scenarios. Had about 15 of us and he made sure that the entire group was engaged even when they weren't shooting with instructions and anecdotes and different firearms laws in different states. I especially want to say what a great guy Dan was. I am pretty sure he stayed well past his shift to make sure we all got time in the 360 room. The ONLY complaint I have was that one in my group is a very small woman and the modified Glocks they have were too big for her to pull the trigger while maintaining accuracy, and they didn't have any smaller weapons for her to use. read more

Best indoor shooting range in the greater Portland area. Nice facilities, helpful and knowledgeable staff, and reasonable prices (especially on weekdays) read more

Shot here for the first time in their live fire range. The staff was very friendly and getting into a lane was quick and easy with a good focus on safety. My friend rented a Glock and paid for a box of bullets. 10 of the 50 rounds were duds and they deducted the cost of the 10 bullets after we showed them one. I plan to return. Keep up the great work! read more

Beyond what they offer their customer base and targeted clientele, this facility has some of the best service, outright, that I've ever received, period. The staff is comprised of some of the most genuine individuals I've ever dealt with- they sincerely care about the well being of their members and guests; the experience, improvement, and proficiency of those who visit, as well as the safety of everyone who might be around a live firearm. I have learned so much here in the off range conversations I've had with Matt, Sam, Shawn, Ryan, etc. These people are here for the right reasons, and that means a lot to me as a member. The facility is always immaculate, in great condition- the staff is always taking time to check on the range, simulators, and guests- I have never been there and felt that my safety was in question. Their suggestions, critique, instruction, training, and professionalism is always appreciated, and it is absolute top tier. I visit the facility to train, that is why I am there- but while I am there I have an experience each visit that is always far more than that- whether it be making friends, getting new information, or just having casual conversations, it really does feel like I am a 'member' of a unique organization, and not just a customer. Safe, beneficial, worth every penny, and extremely effective, is how I would describe this organization. In the short time I've been a member, I can confidently say my skill and improvement is leaps and bounds ahead of some of those I know who have been training for far longer. This is to the credit of the people and facility I choose to train at. The cost value analysis is off the charts. It's worth it to be a Spartan member here, no question. Gotta say thanks to all these folks for all the intentional, genuine, and meaningful effort they've put in to my improvement. -Tyler read more

I have been here a few times in the past couple years. Each time has been a good experience overall, although a little pricey. A couple of days ago, when going, I learned they adopted THE MOST RIDICULOUS policy I have ever heard of. The sales associate there told me that any outside ammunition was prohibited, unless I purchased their $75 membership, in which case you can bring your own ammunition. The employee stated this new policy was due to customers shooting steel ammo/reloads. But for some reason buying a membership here fixes this problem?? This made no sense. Their ammo, such as 9mm, is $15 for a box of 50 rounds. I had just purchased 300 rounds from Cabela's down the street before coming, and after some haggling/complaining, the associate took a quick 10 second look at it, charged me a $10 "ammo inspection fee" and said he would allow it "this time". Also personal targets are now prohibited, and customers must by in house targets to shoot. It's unfortunate to me that a company must adopt this policy to try and squeeze every penny from its customers. Although the staff is helpful and friendly, I will not return due to these new business practices they have adopted. Plenty of other shooting ranges in the area. read more

Threat Dynamics is a great range and classroom. We have done about all they have to offer. We have done multiple simulations and really enjoyed it. We (my wife and I) took our concealed carry classes there and loved the instructors. We have also enjoyed the shooting range. All the people there have been very friendly and always willing to explain anything you have questions on. Keep up the good work! read more

Great place. Took my concealed classes here and they were actually fun. They keep you engaged and answer all questions equally. Ranges are pretty nice you can control how far away the targets are in half yard increments. read more

Great place to do indoor shooting, only thing I would want to be changed is I see that they don't allow short barreled rifles and I would like to be able to shoot mine there. read more

This place is unbelievable. The friendly staff makes you feel at home which is not normal for this type of environment. Most times its a bunch of gruff old guys making you feel like you are a dumb "you know what" if you haven't read every article in every guns and ammo mag ever written. Their business model is to help novice through pros build knowledge and a strategy for their personal and family safety. Do yourself a favor and go here if you need any training or advice when it comes to firearms training and safety. read more

TD has always been a top-flight organization, but this new facility literally screams their professionalism! It's an incredible atmosphere where you can be completely immersed in training to use firearms correctly. The front area is a gorgeous display of arms and related accessories and merchandised in a very sophisticated way. However, it's the people and not the building that make an organization great, and TD has maintained that level of personnel and always try to keep getting better. And of course, the 300-degree is the most amazing training I have ever seen! read more

I placed my handgun with Threat Dynamics to sell on consignment. After a month with no contact, I went in to get my gun back, as friend of mine was interested in buying it. "Oh, we sold it last weekend" they said. (October 3rd). (Who knows when they actually sold it, since they didn't contact me at all.) It is now Nov 18 (more than 6 weeks later) and I still can't get my money from them. I'm not sure if they're having cash flow problems or what. (I certainly wouldn't spend any money on a membership or advance purchase of anything if they're in danger of going out of business.) read more

Kind people, with plenty of knowledge that are willing to help beginners. Fair prices, great facility and a great shooting experience overall. Willing to keep returning read more

Excellent facility and staff. Everything about this place broadcasts quality and proper organization. The class was taught by knowledgeable and thorough instructor. It was a great experience. I'll be back for more instruction and time on the range. read more
