They are very thorough, helpful safe ,friendly and knowledgeable about the subject matters necessary for LTC. Most of all they are very caring and genuine!

My brother and I spent a few hours at the Alliance range on Wednesday 6/24 -- we rented a private…read moresuite, so that we could take our time with several firearms, draw from the hip, shoot rapidfire, etc. All of those aspects went off fine. The only compliant, granted a very significant one, was that their Air Conditioning in the private suites was NOT WORKING. There was NO mention of this when we signed in online. Further, NO ONE at the counter mentioned this to either of us when we checked in -- perhaps they thought we might -- somehow‍, not notice, that it was over 100° inside of the private suites/indoors?? When we checked out, I said to my brother "I'm guessing they'll likely 'comp us' for half or maybe all of the range fee (as we bought ammo, targets and supplies too) because of the hours long sweating in the un air-conditioned private suites?" ...But NO, no such accommodation was made. I have to say, THAT was an EXTREMELY POOR CHOICE for Shoot Smart to make. I have been going to that range for many years -- and yes, they knew it at the time. However, I may very well NOT be going back.

Things have started changing at this facility with the employees. They are inconsistent in…read moretreatment of customers. One example is when I was there yesterday, looking to purchase a gun which I have purchased many guns there, as I was looking at it and the young lady that was helping me ask me to make sure I keep the gun pointed down, OK I get it but it's empty and has the plastic piece in it and then the next guy as I'm sitting there is also looking to purchase a gun and he has it pointed at her and all over the place for several minutesand doesn't say a word to him! Also with our membership, we get 5% off gun purchases and on my last purchase, I asked them what they could do on a used gun I was looking at just to see if they could come down on price and they gave me a price acting like it was a great deal but shorted me $14 of even the 5% that I'm supposed to get on the gun. These are employee issues and not facility, as far as the facility is concerned I've had no issues.

500th review? That has to go to the amazing people of Elite Handgun Academy that have made me…read morezombie prepared and also helped me to get my Texas CHL (concealed handgun license). I grabbed this class on a Groupon for a great rate and when I found out it was 10 hours of class I was dreading it, but it was actually so much fun. Unlike most CHL classes that I've heard about the instructor (Mark Payne) actually broke up the important facts and information that you really need to know with interesting stories, videos and clips to help demonstrate what he was talking about and help us all understand the importance of the information he was covering more quickly. Since I went to one of the all women's classes he came prepared with a large number of handguns that everyone could come up to the front and pick up to see how they feel. This was important because most of us had not purchased a gun yet (wanting to know how to use it first) and he took time to talk to each of us about what we might look for in a gun. He also brought fake bullets and allowed us all to practice loading a clip throughout the class so that by the end of the day when we went to take the firing range test we felt confident in loading the clip on our own. I can't say enough how FAST the day flew by, it's what we were all saying on every break and the information was so interesting and Mark was so funny (while still getting across how important it is) that it was very enjoyable. The firing range test was a little nerve-wracking but Mark and his family (who run the company together) are very good at helping you become comfortable and confident, even when firing for the first time! I know I would not have done as well without his help, and I definitely wouldn't have my CHL! If you're looking for a class, GO HERE, you won't regret it!

I dropped in on a 5:45 am class, I reached out a day or so prior and heard back very quickly.

Thank you to coach Kurtis, Cory and Chris. Appreciate the hospitality and rolls!

The outside only says "Jiu Jitsu" so unless you come up to the door and read some details, you couldnt possibly see that its Roanoke BJJ. And as a Yelper the biz wasnt even in there so it was more difficult to research. We saw our friends go in from the parking lot so we followed in soon after. There were about 30 kids separated into three groups based by weight and size. There were two coaches, one of which was taking the lead in instruction so he was probably the Professor. We werent acknowledged because the session was underway. Our friend directed us where to stand so that was helpful. And they were off rolling. They were put in positions of all different scenarios with rotating partners. It was clear that this was geared towards competition training. Most of the students were advanced(not necessarily by belt or stripe level), aggressive, and proficiently using moves and submissions. The professor was stern, quick, and efficient with teaching, talking, and getting the students to progress through class. It was the way I wish all BJJ classes are run. This Professor is dedicated and developing exceptional BJJ students around the Dallas Fort Worth area! By the time we left there were kids still sparing and it was 7:30pm. Was told it usually goes till about 8pm!! 2 1/2 hours of competition training!! Just f'n amazing!!

Great outdoor range in the area. Really nice location and for a mid-day semi-cold afternoon, it was…read moregreat. Used to go to shoot smart to the private lanes but not a big fan of the indoor ranges. They had plenty of open areas for a 25, 50 and higher distance. As well as a handgun section on the opposite side. We didnt have to wait on either side for access to a spot. They were very good amount the gun safety and making sure everyone was responsible with not only the time to change targets but also with making sure people properly were facing their rifles when down not in the wrong directions. This was my worry at a public outdoor range, but they were on top of it and highly appreciate it. Only downside is no FMJ rifle ammo allowed. So you either have to pay a lot for a box through them or stock up prior to. There was a small group of young people trying to one hand shoot to "be cool" which was kind of irritating, more because of the stupidity factor. But most people at least on the rifle side you could tell are gun enthusiasts who care about their shot and their weapon. Definitely my new go-to range.

I'm a gun owner and strong supporter of the Second Amendment. This is indefensible…read more Two bullets have been found in the exterior of Barksdale Middle School, 1.2 miles from this range. Northwest ISD says it tried to work with the owner on safety improvements and couldn't even get a commitment. The district isn't asking to shut the range down. They're asking for reasonable safety measures to keep bullets from leaving the property. How is that even controversial? Every gun owner knows you are responsible for where your rounds go. If there's a credible possibility rounds from my range could be reaching a middle school, I'm doing everything possible to make sure it can never happen again. I'm not making the school district sue me. I support gun ranges. I want this one to stay open. But responsible gun ownership means taking safety seriously, especially when kids are involved. Fix the damn problem.
