I met Mike and Julie, in the range building and they were cordial and helpful. Mike corrected my grip and sight line down range and it immediately helped me get on target. They have this awesome huge simulator which I will try on my next visit. They also have a shoot house, which I didn't get to see, but would very much like to once my skill level is better. They have different level memberships, but they were out of my current financial means. Maybe soon All and all, a great place.

Not just another shooting range -- this place truly stands out!…read more I came in to refresh my shooting skills after some time away, and it turned into such an amazing experience. My husband and I started our day at their coffee shop espresso bar -- the cappuccinos are perfectly on target! It's such a clean, comfortable space to relax while shopping for a new firearm or waiting for a class. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. They offer so much more than a typical range -- concealed carry classes, G-license recertification, private one-hour training sessions, self-defense, judo, and a massive simulator with realistic tactical scenarios. They even host birthday parties and have an impressive tactical maze -- all in Building One! And those are just a few of the many classes they offer -- there's something for every skill level and interest. Building Two is where our family of six enjoys time together on the range. We always feel completely safe knowing there are highly trained experts with many qualifications monitoring and guiding everyone to ensure all safety rules are followed. The lanes are clean and well-maintained, and there's even a comfortable lounge with a TV for breaks between rounds. Every detail here shows how much they care about safety, professionalism, and creating a great experience for everyone. I bring my most precious family members here, and I always feel confident we're in capable hands. This has become one of our favorite family places -- we can't wait to come back!

Check in there then they'll give you a map which leads you to the tactical obstacle course. I can't recommend more highly - I'm a newish shooter, about three years seriously (longtime before but not competitive) but I've only shot indoors stationary or out in the Califorinia desert bringing your own targets. The set up is similar to a USPSA, IDPA or a Steel Challenge type course. Nothing is on a timer unless you want to practice speed and that's fine too. Soooooo exciting!!!! Moving behind cover hitting steel, paper and "no hit" targets - or "hostages". Family friendly, this is not an intimidating experience at all. The best part for me was the amount of personal attention from the Range Officers, George and Sydney. They both gave me so many pointers I've never known about despite hours of YouTube watching! They teach safety procedures for a range like the this - totally more secure than a typical range, you'll see. Safety zone, Ammo loading area, etc. You will need a holster which can be concealed, or if you have a belt rig set up that works OWB, check out Blue Alpha Belts, a veteran owned company and made in the USA. If you don't have a holster check out Safariland online for basic Kydex set ups that are very affordable. If you've never drawn and fired from a holster holy moly it's a real trip!!! Definitely check them out tell Them Del Mar Dave from Los Angeles sent you!

I genuinely do not understand some of the negative reviews here about the range being "too hot" or…read morethe staff being rude. That has been the complete opposite of our experience. First, a huge shoutout to the range officers. They made it possible for me to safely teach my 11-year-old son how to shoot in a controlled, professional environment. Safety was clearly the priority, but they also created an atmosphere that was welcoming and supportive instead of intimidating. As a dad trying to introduce his son to shooting the right way, that mattered a lot. I also want to specifically recognize John, who helped me, my wife, and my son become members. The guy was incredible. He gave us an unbelievable amount of time and attention, answered every question we had, and was genuinely kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. Never rushed us, never upsold us, just focused on helping us make good decisions. He even threw in a rental "on the house" because he knew we were in the market to buy that day, which let us get hands-on experience before making a decision. That level of customer service is rare. Another huge shoutout to Joe, who was AWESOME on the phone before we even came in. I asked a ridiculous number of questions (seriously, a lot), and he answered every one without ever sounding annoyed or rushed. Just incredibly helpful and professional. And lastly, Ryan absolutely crushed it helping with our trade. He gave us a very fair price on our trade-in and worked with us to get an even better deal on the two Glocks we ended up buying. Honest, straightforward, and easy to work with. All around, this place has earned an A+ from our family. Are they a little pricier than some other shops? Sure. But customer service, professionalism, a solid range experience, and nine locations don't happen by accident. There's a reason they've been successful. Highly recommend.

All in all it's a good place and entertaining! They also have a great selection of firearms to purchase if you're allowed.

I found this CWP class via Groupon after a friend told me they found a Groupon for a class they…read moretook. I thought it was a good deal, bought it but when I tried making an appointment on the website, it didn't seem all that clear that the "book appointment now" button was solely for the CWP. Gave the number on their site a call and in the answering message they basically said to book the CWP class via that button and it cleared all doubts. Fine with me, I booked the class on a Sunday for the following Saturday (today) with Lee. I put in ETT into my gps and I was concerned because I didn't see any signs or anything from Park Blvd when I was getting close to the destination - it's just in the back of the building so be mindful of that! The class was two hours as expected. I found Lee to be very engaging and he gave a lot of scenarios which I love - that's how I learn and retain information, so I felt like I was able to take away a lot from this class. I feel like I 100% know my rights when it comes to concealed carry. This class fulfills the requirement to apply for your CWP. This class will not teach you how to take apart your gun or give you hands on experience with a gun. This class is meant to make sure you don't get in trouble while carrying a gun - and that was met. Sure, as some other reviews mention, there are classes out there that are a little more extensive than this and cover more regarding gun use and familiarity, however for the price and frequency these classes are offered, I'd recommend taking this class ASAP, applying for your permit and then finding a nice course that can give you hands on experience with your gun - I have a sig so I'm trying to get into some of their academy classes, but those aren't local and are pretty expensive, so this served the purpose for now! Thanks for a great class Lee, I'll for sure be recommending to any others looking to get their CWP!

On October 20th I was privileged to participate in Mr. Mariucci's Pistol Barriers / Cover &…read moreConcealment Course. Through a series of skill building exercises we were introduced to the concept of alternating the targeting eye from right to left as the line of sight changed from one source of cover to another. This allowed for less exposure and a better use of cover while moving from one point to the next. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in defensive shooting. On November 17th I was able to attend Mr. Mariucci's Pistol Contact / Retention Fighting Course. This was the first time I was able to use my everyday carry pistol and IWB holster. This allowed me to identify a fault in my gun manipulation from drawing with one hand and shooting then transitioning to a two handed grip and continuing to fire. I have been able to address this problem thanks to this class. We were then taught a weapon retention technique that is simple to remember yet effective in allowing the time and space required to fire on an assailant while protecting your face and head from blows. I would recommend this course to all who concealed carry.

I will be taking more classes as the opportunities arise. In addition, the emphasis on fundamentals has given me a clear direction on what to do next.

This review is to respond to "Bonnie S"…read more Your response to my previous review is completely inaccurate and inappropriate. I had explained to your "range officer" that I was a new shooter. All I did was ask to be moved to a different part of the range so I was not directly next to someone else. A perfectly reasonable request from a new female shooter. He became angry at my request and told me to leave. I was in absolute disbelief! Your point about me not understanding him is a blatant lie trying to undermine my experience and opinion. Even if that were the case, why not take the time to make sure someone new does understand the rules instead of being obnoxious about it? Also, considering multiple people on Yelp have said the same thing as I do, that your business tolerates staff being rude to customers, maybe you should look at your staff instead of blaming new customers. Most ranges I've been to go out of their way to make new female shooters feel welcomed. Sadly, not so of your range. Your range and "range officers" were hostile and i can only attribute that to misogynist views. His hostile behavior and reaction towards a new female shooter were completely inexcusable. I don't experience that anywhere else. And I will also point out that here on Yelp there are far more honest reviews about the attitude of your range officers and staff. The ratings on Yelp are more accurate and reflect the poor experience dealing with rude people at your business that I also had there. Ratings on other platforms are "cooked" and not reflective of people's poor experience there. Try to do better and you won't have poor reviews like mine and others
