I have been a member at this range for a little over 5 years and I love it. It features 12 lanes of…read more25 yards with an overhead automatic target carrier. One can shoot from .5 yards to 25 yards and anywhere in between. The shop itself is very well stocked, with a focus on popular brands like Sig Sauer, Glock and Staccato to name a few. They also have an excellent selection of both pistols and rifles available to rent, including fully automatic rifles (always with close supervision by the staff). The staff itself is pretty constantly in flux, with people working to gain experience in firearms and then moving on to higher paying jobs. For quite a few young people it's a springboard to a job in law enforcement. The really cool part is how thats managed by the owners and their awesome senior staff at management positions in the store. New hires are always a certain type of person, management seeks candidates who have good people skills, are personable , knowledgeable about firearms and firearms safety, and are overall friendly hardworking folks. I've bought several pistols from them, and every transaction has been smooth and simple. The members are also widely diverse and friendly, it's not at all unusual to ask others if they'd care to shoot another member's new gun. People get along. It's kind of ironic though because you have a range full of very diverse people who are all shooting guns, and yet it's peaceful, everybody treats everyone else with respect. When I bought my first pistol there, I had no real idea what I was doing. Several staff members and a few members that I became friends with, essentially taught me how to shoot. I highly recommend this range. Did I mention that members shoot as often as they like and all rentals are free although you must pay for the ammo. This includes full auto firearms every Wednesday

I placed an online order through their portal but needed to cancel it before picking it up. Because…read moreI requested the cancellation prior to fulfillment, the merchandise never left their shop. Despite submitting the cancellation, I never received a confirmation email. I have since called the storefront and sent direct emails to the manager to resolve the issue and process my refund, but I am being completely ignored. It has been several days with zero response. At this point, the business is holding my money for an order I never picked up and explicitly canceled. I am highly disappointed with the complete lack of customer service and communication. I will be forced to dispute this charge with my bank if management does not respond and issue my refund immediately.

First off, you must understand how, Bob, the owner, has this business setup. He is a sole…read moreproprietorship, one-man show with some family help (at least what I observed). He has no special big relationships with manufacturers or limited brand distributor. He acts as a general dealer on his own with some smithing/repairs from what I saw. He has ammo and Hoppe's cleaning supplies, The shop is upstairs and kinda back from the street. If he didn't have out the sign board, one would miss it. After going up the stairs, it basically is a bathroom and the store. He had a limited selection compared to other stores I have been to in Montgomery County, but it was good for the size of his business. I am sure he could special order if you needed it (compliant with Maryland). He handles each customer one at a time as they walk in with great personal care. Other customers must wait until he can help. Customers chatted and looked at the merchandise while waiting. He did help 2 at a time while each was filling out the ATF form 4473 or a family member was rebuilding a revolver and intermittently needed help. For my situation, our family needed to sell some guns. I called a week ahead of time and after he was done with the customer in the store we chatted and exchanged basic information about the guns an prices using a pricing book. Then I came in, he examined the firearms, and offered me a reasonable price. By reasonable price, I mean around 70% (he has to make a profit also). Cosigning would have been higher, but take longer until sold. After agreeing on a price and personally handwriting out the sales slip, he offered cash or check. I choose check and went through quickly via mobile deposit using my phone. By the way, he has great handwriting as a former old school land surveyor! Another benefit was the local county does not have extra rules/laws to follow. He didn't need to hold the guns for 21 days before providing payment, and could just put them on sale display immediately (after of course the required ATF dealer book and state "regulated firearm" entries). He has evening hours from 5-8 during the week and it was busy. Also street parking is free after 5pm! Normal 9-5 Saturday. A guy has got to rest on Sunday and Monday. The best part was since it was his business he could make all the decisions and not yield to the greater store lead or boss. This also put him in a good position to buy used guns at a higher price then other stores. As a general dealer, his inventory is what he buys with some new probably from a distributor. He does not manufacture. I did not see class III stuff out or advertised. Bob truly helped our family out by purchasing the firearms with a quick transaction at reasonable price. I am most thankful.
