I haven't been to a gun range in a while and was happy a friend asked me to tag along with them…read more The person I came with has a membership, so i didn't have to pay to shoot this day. I had already brought my own ear protection and settled on buying a new pair of protective glasses. After I initially went into the range, a guy was shooting a really loud gun, and I went to ask if they had ear plugs. Apparently, they charge for this, but one of the gentlemen was nice enough to give me a pair in his personal stash for free. The staff here is really friendly. Jeff was also a nice guy who supervised customers in the actual range shooting. He shared stories and showed us pictures of some of his guns in his collection. Overall, this place is nice and the staff is professional. Until next time...

My son and I visited this range for the first time today. I cannot recommend this place enough…read more The staff was inviting, polite, patient and professional. I was not badgered by "Tactical Tommy" range officers. Furthermore, my son and I rented a fully automatic and suppressed H&K MP5. This was my son's first time shooting a fully automatic firearm and we are both still smiling 4 hours later. Thank you guys for making this experience memorable and one to look back on. You guys were great!

Absolutely, positively one of the finest ranges I've EVER been to in the US, bar none! The staff is…read morealways kind and professional, never making anyone feel like their questions are too silly. Many people there are former military. This co has its act together and it shows! Wouldn't go anywhere else! They have a tremendous selection of firearms and accessories, and their training provides great value to anyone looking to up their game or learn about things they don't know!

It had been a LONG time since I had been to a shooting range, and I'm so glad I decided to visit…read moreSharpShooter STL! Shooting is actually something I used to do quite a bit years ago, and after this visit I realized how much I missed it. I had such a great time getting back on the range. The facility is impressive, well organized, affordable, and I really liked the setup of the indoor lanes and digital target system. I also appreciate that they offer everything from basic handgun and refresher courses to more advanced training and private instruction. Since it has been a while for me, I'm definitely interested in taking advantage of some of their training as I get back into shooting regularly. They made the experience enjoyable, and I left already thinking about coming back. This used to be a sport and hobby that I really enjoyed a long time ago, and my visit to SharpShooter reminded me why. I definitely plan on getting back into shooting and making it something I do regularly again. I'll be back very soon! Highly recommend SharpShooter STL, whether you've been shooting for years or, like me, are coming back to it after some time away.

This place is awesome. I didn't even realize we had a range in the city, but I'm so glad we found…read moreit! My husband and I came in on a Thursday, and they had ladies day, so pricing was awesome. We shared a bay and stayed for probably an hour or so. Plenty of time to get through some rounds in our new rifle. They can't HVAC the range because of all the lead, so just be aware of that, on hot days, it's HOT. But other than that, we had a blast! They also had a worker that was coming over and giving me tips, which was awesome and appreciated. Definitely recommend if you don't want to drive 40 minutes to an outdoor range!

Got to visit for Los Angeles. What a great experience. Whether you're visiting or a local trying to…read morefigure out if this gym is for you, here are some take aways. 1. First off, Professor Kyle is great. He was very friendly and welcoming. He introduced me around to a lot of the guys and game me a tour of the gym. You can see what type of vibe a gym has by seeing how the students relate to him during class. Here, you can tell they respect Kyle Watson, but are also friendly with Kyle and there's plenty of friendly banter. Kyle is very attentive throughout the entire class and the class is put together with a lot of thoughtfulness. Kyle is attentive the entire time and super helpful in giving instruction and tips. 2. The vibe of the gym is great. Here, you'll find competitor and hobbyists. Everyone was very kind and skilled. No one is off to take off your head and you can tell there are some skilled people on the matts that can turn it on (if they wanted). Great number of training partners. I can see guys getting good here pretty quickly. And if I lived around here, this would be the gym I would pick. Chill vibe but people here work hard. 3. Facilities. This place is HUGE. Upstairs and downstairs mat space. Mens and women's lockers. Showers. Plenty of space to put your gym bag. The place is CLEAN throughout. 4. Schedule. An underestimated aspect of someone choosing a gym is the schedule. Bottom line, if there aren't a lot of options, you're more likely to stop training. Here, there are a ton of options for advance, beginning, go and no gi. Bottom line, give this place a shot. You will not be disappointed.

This is a very, very nice scatter gun range - based solely on amenities, it's nicer than all the…read moreranges I've been to in the Chicago area. I've been several times, and this review pretty much holds true for every visit. First off, they have 8 trap/skeet fields. All the fields appear to be usable for both trap and for skeet, although I doubt they have all three required launchers in place at each station at all times. We are always told which are set up for which. All the fields are well maintained, with voice activated throwers. Almost never a broken bird, although the flight trajectory on field 8 is a little flat - I feel like I'm shooting right at the house half the time, which I'm sure is frowned on. It's interesting to note that there is NEVER any kind of wait, and nor is there ever any formal trap. They just tell you to go out on a field and have fun. They track birds thrown with a little electronic counter box, which I've only seen at this location...it seems a bit unreliable, or maybe I'm just dumb. But I think it manages to overcharge me every time. Oh well. I think there are two more 5-stand fields, but I've never seen them in operation. Their clays course is very nice - 12 stations. All have two launchers, so you can choose a (sometimes extraordinarily difficult) true pair or report pair on each station - never just two birds from the same launcher. Difficulty was medium. I recently shot near my personal best, percentage wise, so I'm not going to say it was hard. One highlight is a scaffold shooting platform - it's fun to shoot down on the birds instead of up at them. And there was a single rabbit, for variety, but no mini or midi clays that I saw. The entire course is in the open, kind of brushy fields, some shaded by woods, but no stations under cover of trees. There's a paintball range just behind (up range) of parts of the clays course, and it's hard not feel super awesome when you consider those kids aren't even using live ammo, and they think they're cool. The reason I only have 4 stars marked here is because the staff are kind of jerks. I'm pretty understanding of you being nervous with random people showing up and discharging firearms on your property. But there's no need to be a total jerk to me - if I do something unsafe, then by all means, come down on me and correct the unsafe behavior. But the hostile attitude we always get the moment we walk in the door is a bit uncalled for. Even trying to strike up conversation with the range master got us clipped, smart-alec responses...I guess if he wants people to dislike him, he's getting his wish. I've been several times, and it's always the same. But, if you can ignore the staff (well, not ignore...just don't take them personally, or expect any friendliness) then this is a spectacular range.

When I asked to observe my son, Master Ray said parents weren't allowed because the kids were "in the basement," which was concerning.

I had the opportunity to train under Joey Shepherd as one of the instructors at a Gracie Barra…read morelocation in the O'Fallon area, and I genuinely can't say enough good things about him. While all of the instructors there were solid, there was just something about Joey that really stood out. He's an incredibly down-to-earth, approachable person easy to talk to, easy to joke with, and someone who makes training feel comfortable without losing focus or structure. Whether we were drilling techniques, working judo throws, or talking between rounds, he always brought a positive and welcoming energy to the mats. As an instructor, Joey is very attentive and patient. He takes the time to work with everyone, breaks techniques down clearly, and makes sure people actually understand what they're doing. One thing I really respected was how aware he was of his students as people, not just training partners. While jiu-jitsu naturally comes with bumps and injuries and pushing through can be part of the process, Joey also understood that some injuries genuinely require time to heal. He paid attention when people were out, checked in on them, and made it clear that health and recovery mattered. I experienced that firsthand when I was injured he was quick to check in and ask how my recovery was going. That kind of awareness and care goes a long way and isn't something you always see. I also had the chance to train at another Gracie Barra location in Missouri where Joey's dad taught, and he was excellent as well. When his dad came to teach at the O'Fallon location, that same welcoming, disciplined, and supportive approach was clear. It's easy to see that strong values and teaching mindset run in the family. I'm genuinely excited to see Joey and his dad open their own academy in Shrewsbury. Knowing the kind of instructors and people they are, I have no doubt it's going to be an excellent place to train. Highly recommend.
