I've been a member of Southern Michigan Gun Club (SMGC) for over 20 years, and I absolutely love…read moreour facilities and the community that makes this club special. Our membership includes a strong presence of veterans, and that experience and mindset help reinforce the club's deep commitment to safety, respect, and mentorship. The range opportunities here are outstanding--airgun, 5-stand, skeet/trap, archery (including amazing wooded trails with 3D targets), multiple handgun distances, dedicated 50- and 100-yard rifle ranges, and a well-maintained indoor range where the club is currently experimenting with retractable target systems. SMGC has trained additional Range Safety Officers for the indoor range, allowing us to offer more non-event opportunities for members to use the indoor facilities--another example of how SMGC balances access with safety. The club has also expanded engaging shooting options in a thoughtful, safety-first way. Steel plates are now available on the 50- and 100-yard ranges, and reactive targets are available on the Goff pistol range when a Range Safety Officer is on duty, giving members more dynamic training and practice opportunities while maintaining proper supervision. Beyond the facilities, SMGC offers a variety of special interest groups that members can join, including pistol, Civilian Marksmanship, action shooting, run-and-gun, archery, indoor matches, 30/40 bore, and junior shotgun (skeet/trap). These groups create great opportunities for skill development, friendly competition, and community involvement. One thing I really appreciate is how the club continues to evolve responsibly. Our recently revised Self-Supervised Shooter (SSS) program allows members to demonstrate safe firearm handling in a structured, supportive way. New members can complete SSS right after orientation, giving them expanded access to the Goff pistol range and the 50- and 100-yard rifle ranges from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (or sunset, whichever comes first). The Board is safety-first focused and financially conscientious, with a clear emphasis on maintaining facilities while thoughtfully expanding opportunities for members. The club has also recently adopted a new membership software system, improving communication, streamlining access, and making it easier for members to stay informed and engaged. Because of that stewardship, SMGC is an excellent value at just $100 per year. Great facilities, strong leadership, and a welcoming community built around safety and respect--SMGC is a club I'm proud to be part of.

The indoor range stays busy all season with WMPL Gallery .22 matches, A Girl and A Gun, Ladies Shoots, .22 rimfire rifle events, and regular New Member Orientations. Members can also take advantage of open indoor range time, scheduled sessions with trained Range Safety Officers, and Backup Gun (BUG) move-and-shoot activities. Outdoor shooting continues through the winter with CMP events, 30/40 bore, and Skeet disciplines including Skeet, International Skeet, and SCRAP-- with Skeet and SCRAP open to the public. With a real strong focus on safety, great volunteer support, and activities year-round, SMGC is a friendly, well-run club that's easy to recommend. BTW...Membership dues are a deal !!!!!

The person working the counter was really helpful and got us squared away pretty quickly. Although we didn't rent one of their firearms on our initial visit, they have a pretty extensive selection if you don't have your own or are looking to try something out. We brought our own eye and ear protection, but they can provide it if you don't have your own (I believe for a nominal fee). The range officer that day was fantastic. Since it was our first time at Centershot, he gave us a quick tutorial on how to operate the computerized targeting system. Within a couple minutes we were all set up and firing down range. There are a total 12 shooting lanes split into two areas - 8 lanes on one side and 4 lanes on the other. The range was very clean and the targeting system worked flawlessly. We've been back to Centershot several times within the past two months, it's been great each and every time. Sometimes it can get a little busy and crowded in the storefront area, but I think they do a good job of taking care of their customers. Prices seem pretty reasonable and all of my interactions with the staff have been great. Highly recommended.

I am a very experienced target shooter who moved to Michiana from the South recently. Today, I…read moredecided to buy my first gun since moving to Indiana, a Smith and Wesson SD9. I have spent a LOT of time in gun shops and ranges over the years, and I must say that RangeUSA is one of the best. As soon as I came in, I was greeted warmly by the friendly employees. As you come in, on your immediate left are the AR-15s and AK-47s, followed by Glock pistols and the used pistols. Immediately to the right of that is the range check in and rental gun area. Then there is a small waiting area with a couple of tables and seats near the indoor range entrance. To the right of the range are more new pistols and long guns for sale, along with the registers. In the middle of the store, they have ammo, safes, a small selection of holsters, cleaning supplies, etc. The ammo prices were pretty fair. I told them what gun I was looking for, and they immediately took me to it. My fiance decided to buy a Smith and Wesson SD9 as well. We handed them our IDs, filled out the background check paperwork, bought ammo and a cleaning kit, and took our new guns home. While we didn't go to the range today as my fiance's back was bothering him, I did take a peek through the viewing window, and it looks like a very nice range. My fiance and I plan to try out the range next week and will most likely become members. In short, I highly recommend RangeUSA to all Second Amendment supporters. BTW: they offer NRA safety and concealed carry classes, have ladies' gun club meetings, and offer discounts to military, police, fire, and EMS! Update: My fiance and I have been members of RangeUSA for a couple of months now. We go once a week and we always love it. The range is well lit and well ventilated. The distances are clearly marked on the floor and wall. The target retrieval system is basic but works well. The range safety officers have always been friendly, and the range rules are reasonable. Thank you, RangeUSA. I've found my home away from home.

Service was good. But I'm leaving a 2 star review because of how they handled my online gun…read moretransfer. I bought an Erfurt 1917 P.08 Luger and shouldn't have of having it shipped here. They claimed for it to have "no legible serial number" despite it having a four digit serial number on the frame. I mentioned that the ATF doesn't necessarily require serials from guns made before 1968. However they claimed a corporate policy is what prevented the sale to go through. Now I have to spend an additional 200$ for shipping and transfer fees to get it back. I won't be transferring a gun here again, I'll rather do it at Midwest on grape road where I know I won't have problems. I will come back to the store to use their range until Midwest range opens theirs up. Then I'll leave and not come back here except if there are great sales going on. Disappointing.

Two separate range safety officers have demanded to see my ATF tax documents for my fully legal firearms. I was told that the owner doesn't allow anyone to shoot class 3 weapons without presenting their tax forms to staff (I brought a legal silencer and SBR). I was also told that this is for my own protection because I don't know the rules/regulations. Myself and the gun community don't appreciate this overreach. While I understand that a private business can make their own rules within reason, treating customers like they are criminal or incompetent isn't the way to keep business. I don't need protection from you, I'm fully aware of the rules, and the fact that you don't have the right as an FFL to demand my private tax documents. If you are in the class 3 community - steer clear of this range. They are playing ATF Agent. I'll take my business to other ranges that don't trample my freedoms.

We began our time together with his evaluating my rifle which I had never fired. He recommended numerous improvements which made all the difference in the world during the actual training and shooting. He was excellent with spending the time to sight in the new red dot he recommended. I had purchased another rifle from a gun store that said the Bushnell scope would be "sighted in". Well, they must have hired a deer to do it. Wouldn't even hit the target. Chris made several necessary adjustments. That deer will not be happy. As a result of our time together, I am completely comfortable using the rifle we focused on. To keep some of the lesson top of mind, I did some filming. Chris is extremely patient and caring. No pressure and when I missed something we had previously worked on, he was great. With all of his years of experience in the military, SWAT teams, and police departments, serving and training, he definitely knows what he is doing. It is highly likely that other trainers could have huge egos, not Chris!!! Don't look any further for a trainer, if you are reading this, you found your guy. I will be back for my handgun refresher and some more rifle. The time we spent together was definitely not enough.
