Prices are reasonable and it's not crowded at all, particularly during the week. The facility itself has everything you need and is well maint. read more

Actual name is "Chris' Indoor Shooting Range" http://www.chrisindoorrange.net 2458 Boston Post Road, Guilford CT 06437 Phone: 203.453.1570 Fax: 203.458.1402 Email: ChrisGunShop@aol.com This range features 11 shooting lanes for pistols and rifles with an automated retrieval system. I liked the facility and the staff so much after my first visit that I immediately purchased a one-year membership. If you plan on going with any degree of frequency, the membership option is really the only choice. The standard rate of $25 per hour for non-members is quite pricey. But especially with the various discounts offered, a membership gives you much more value for your dollar. Plus, memberships include free use for your spouse and/or child under the age of 18. You really can't argue with that. They also have regularly scheduled special events like combat shoots and .22 nights. The web site has all the other info you're looking for. Check it out. read more

What can I say about Chris' Indoor Range? For starters, it offers everything you could want from an indoor shooting range. Everyone from a first time beginner to the seasoned pro would find this range welcoming. I have been visiting Chris' for a long time and can say this with honesty. The staff are friendly and are willing to help. If you need some pointers on how to shoot better or have a malfunction that seemingly cannot be solved you can turn to them for assistance. Chris' also has a decent selection of ammo available at reasonable prices for those shooting on the range, especially for .22LR which can be difficult to find these days. They also have events every Thursday night of various types and calibers. Some people might take issue with the recently instated policy of the range, that is, you must posses a CT Permit to Carry Pistols and Revolvers or have attended a safety class to shoot on the line. I personally take no issue with this policy as it creates a much safer environment for everyone in attendance, and safety is always the number one concern when handling/operating firearms. Every CT citizen who is interested in shooting, either as a hobby, a sport or as a means of serious personal protection, should seek to obtain their CT permit and Chris' offers the NRA approved safety class which is your first step to obtaining your permit. I have met a lot of new friends at Chris', many of whom I can call by first name. It is a very social atmosphere which firearms aficionados and those new to world of firearms can find themselves comfortable in. Many years, multiple training classes attended under industry professionals. Unquantifiable amount of rounds expended. Chris' still remains my local range I come to for weekly practice. read more

I've known Chris for over 30 years in fact I still to this day own the gun he sold me when I was 19 years old. I'm 52 years old now and you don't forget the first gun you bought and you always remember the person who sold it to you!! Chris was a kind gentleman than and is the exact same person now. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for his kind spoken manner and his wide knowledge of firearms!! THANK YOU CHRIS FOR 32 YEARS OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE..JOEL K read more

Went here today 10/23/2018 @ about 3pm. This is not my first time and won't be my last. Chris helped me fix a firearm by making a custom pin that had been lost by someone else. He charged me only $10 for doing it. This is not the only time he was helped me in an awesome way. Last time it was a bent spring for a rifle no longer in production. I read the review that complained about them both not being able to shoot because of both not having their permit each. That is a rule at a bunch of ranges if you don't have your permit or don't have it on you.. YOU CAN'T SHOOT..PERIOD. Don't whine about your failure to have your permit or to carry it on you. read more

Went for the pistol permit class. Chris is friendly, knowledgeable and SUPER thorough. He's got 40 years of knowledge under his belt so he really knows his stuff! Also provided a coupon for money off a membership which was a bonus. I definitely plan on returning once I get my permit, probably not just to use the range but to purchase my pistol as well. Give them a visit! read more

Very nice range. The people there were courteous and helpful. I will go there again!

Friendly and welcoming staff, which seems like a rarity at small gun ranges and shops, especially for young shooters. The two older gentlemen working the counter were very nice and accommodating. I showed them my Basic Pistol certification and filled out the shooter and rental agreement, which was great as many ranges refuse rentals unless the same certification course was taken specifically at their range. I rented a 9mm AR pattern rifle, which was a blast! The staff even helped me in getting familiar with loading the magazine. Over all a great experience and the friendly environment really made a difference. A bit pricey, but rentals and non-membership range time at all ranges are. Even so, I was happy to give Chris' Indoor Shooting Range my business. read more

THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE BASIC PISTOL COURSE that Chris offers every other Saturday, a requirement for CT conceal carry. I found this range when I was looking for a place to shoot, and I liked Chris and the facility. I paid $150 for the class (overpriced). I knew as a seasoned veteran in firearms that I would not be overly stimulated during a basic course. However, I needed the NRA certificate to get my CT pistol permit, and as my mother just recently received her pistol license in another state, I was curious to see the level of preparation he might provide the female attendees who were in the same category as my mother. I was DISAPPOINTED. For starters, I was on edge every time he handled a pistol. We knew they were all empty and no ammo was ever brought out during the class, but he swept the muzzle of the pistol across every one of us at least a dozen times. It was very careless for a gun owner, not to mention an 'instructor'. He did not heed two of the main safety rules: NEVER POINT A WEAPON AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT INTEND TO DESTROY, and TREAT EVERY WEAPON AS IF IT WERE LOADED, and my heart was in my throat every time he turned around, pistol in hand. Also, he spent at LEAST 1.5 hours talking about single action cowboy revolvers, and how they differ from double action pistols. Apparently his father gave him one a long time ago, and he is an expert on this weapon. But the class was full of people that had never even handled any pistols before, and were hoping for some comprehensive safety procedures and familiarization. Instead of teaching new gun enthusiasts about what kind of recoil to expect from different calibers they might carry, and which calibers might work for them, instead he taught armorer level classes on how to assemble and disassemble weapons. This man also talks about carrying small pistols in his pocket with no holster. Personally I recommend always carrying a pistol in some kind of holster that protects the trigger guard and or trigger area, but that is definitely my preference. He pulled out a cable lock and while reminiscing about old CT laws and things that happened to his buddies- stories that left us confused, he "locked" the pistol in ways you should NEVER lock a firearm, like through the trigger guard. When I asked him for clarification, he brushed it off and left me more confused about the CT law than I was before he brought it up. HE NEVER SHOWED HOW TO PROPERLY LOCK WITH A CABLE LOCK. The folks in the class were done a disservice by attending his course. At the end of the course we each fired 6 bullets from a .22 revolver, and were given the blessing to continue in the permit endeavor. I am appalled that this class can be permitted to educate new firearm owners and I recommend that if you want to learn how to safely handle and get familiar with pistols, do it elsewhere. read more

Good indoor range! Friendly and welcoming staff! My father and I went in on a rainy afternoon and shot for about an hour, we had good conversation with the staff and had fun on the range! read more

Horrible experience. Drove over 40 minutes to get there and bring my wife shooting. Mainly for her to get more used to .45 caliber shooting, which she has shot numerous times before. The guy behind the counter was very rude with his answers and condescending. Told me that neither of us were allowed to shoot anything over a .22 because I don't have my permit even though my wife had hers. When I explained I wanted her to get a better feel for pretty much anything over a .22, his response was, "I'm not asking, I'm telling!" I should of walked out right then and there, but I came to shoot. After spending $75 for the two of us to shoot 2 boxes of .22 ammo we left. I regretted giving them my business immediately!! If this review prevents one person from going here, I'll be happy. Too bad people have to be so rude. My permit should be coming in any day now, and this place could have been our regular shooting range. read more

Wrote a review about how bad the pistol permit course was and it wasn't any help to someone trying to learn how to handle a gun safely and they removed it from Yelp. People should go elsewhere for better more updated training read more

Great place to shoot. Relaxed atmosphere. I bring my wife and she has a blast too. Very welcoming, staff is knowledgeable without being intimadating. Great place to spend an evening or weekend. read more
