This was a visit in the spark of the moment as I was in the area and Googled Shooting ranges near…read moreme, I decided to come in for a try out. I like Shooting and keeping updated with my gun handling skills. Shooting is like riding a bicycle, once you know it, you don't forget. It is like swimming, eventhough you don't swim frequently, still, swimming is a life saving skill that all humans must know. It's been a while since I was Shooting and I am still sharp and on target. Loved it, I love men's toys. Guns are only good in the hands of trained professionals, my opinion. Tips to remember, keep your hands off the triger, the trigger is soft as a feather, is just sooo smooth and ready to go. While you aim, hold your breath, it helps to make your target more accurate, it works for me, I never miss. I liked this place and the easiness to use it for practice. I was a bit scared because I had no appointment and I was in the indoor range with other customers who were strangers to me. I came in alone, I like to do a lot of things alone because I can focus more on what I am doing or trying to learn. If you are a beginner, most likely, you will need an appointment. The guys working here behind the counter were all nice, great custome service, and good game for me.

I've always wanted to learn basic gun safety and usage, but never had the chance growing up, so…read morecoming here was definitely the highlight of my vacation! My brother heard about this new range online and offered to teach me while he visited over the holidays. We were greeted almost immediately, and as first time guests, we were directed to the laptops along the wall to sign digital waivers and watch a safety instruction video. Once signed in, the info was sent our emails. The waivers are good for a year in case we decide to come back. Everyone was very professional and warm for the most part. As I had never held or used a gun before, and I have small hands, the person who helped us suggested using a smaller caliber handgun (I think it was a Sig Sauer P322 chambered in .22lr). The RSO that day was really nice and helped us out right away when it jammed. Later on, we rented a Sig Sauer P320 chambered in 9mm that felt a lot better. The 9mm felt more solid in general, even with a little more recoil. I also had better accuracy with it too. Even though there were less rounds for it, I personally believe it was the better bang for the buck, so to speak. If you're renting guns, you need to bring a buddy along. There's a 2 person policy for that, unless you're bringing your own equipment. Not sure if you can bring your own ammo too, but if not, you can purchase ammo at the front desk. You can't miss it. In our experience, someone was always around to help or answer questions if needed. Ear and eye protection cannot by rented, so either bring your own or buy some at the front before you go in. Ammo is also pretty expensive here, as is the overall cost to use the range, but I personally think it's worth it. The facilities felt safe, clean, and welcoming. Really appreciated the sinks in the large room before you enter the range where there was lead-cleaning soap available. Just make sure you keep ear protection on while you're in that room as the door to the range opens suddenly sometimes as people come and go. Classes and membership packages are offered too, which I'm considering. Like archery, it can get pretty zen in there finding your focus. Just gotta save up time and money for it like any other sport or hobby. I'd look forward to going back for more practice and getting more familiar with the range.
