If you are black trying to sell a firearm do not go, you could have the most expensive firearm and they will offer you $50 if you didn't buy the gun from them, save your time and money. Honestly Pathetic read more

I had a spring to pop off my firearm as I was cleaning it. I came here to have it repaired since it was very hard to put back into place. Very well stocked with firearms and accessories and the counter persons were helpful and friendly. I'm going to try the firing range out next time I'm there. The only thing is they're a little pricey but I will patronize them instead of going 25 miles out of my way. read more

Amazing family business. Great customer service from the employees when explaining the guns and accessories. Clean and safe range too

I buy all my necessities here, never had an issue, all the staff are friendly and welcoming. I've been to multiple gun-shops around the area but this one sticks out compared to the rest, prices are low-mid range, ammo prices are outrageous everywhere at the moment, but they are certainly flexible and offer the next best thing, thank you guys & gals for the outstanding service, you have my business for a lifetime! read more

purchased a springfield echelon recently here after just getting into shooting. I've dealt mostly with 2 younger employees. a gentlemen who is on the taller side and a young lady who had long manicured nails. customer service was fantastic and they really made it a welcoming and fun process. thanks JR shooting for helping me get into my newest hobby! read more

The two fatties behind the counter are dullards and rude. Pass this place. Customer service was demonstrated by the two buffoons behind the counter. One slob couldnt even get out of the chair. read more

Found this local spot while our son was in town. We had been going to another place that charges a membership fee. I used Google & looked up the reviews to J.R. & saw it had some good reviews. We loved it, the lanes for the ranges were clean, the staff were very helpful & friendly. The prices were very & I mean very reasonable. My only complaint is that & it's really not even much of a complaint is that while you are in the range area -- is that it's a little hot or warm. read more

See all

Not only were they able to provide the firearm my wife was looking for at a fair price, they were also able to provide gun smithing on one of my firearms. The range was excellent also. Very happy with this store and the staff. read more

This place sucks. Read on. Brought in the pistol I had just bought because it was malfunctioning with my hollow point ammo. The ammo would get stuck and fail to load. I felt a significant "hitch" in the slide unlike any other pistol I've ever used. I'd say it was failing 30-40% of the time. Yikes! Not a tool I would stake my life on. So I brought it back to JR's Shooting Sports for their help and support with Ruger. The young lady took it back to their gunsmith and came back after maybe 30 seconds, telling me "these small pistols just need to be racked really aggressively. Want me to show you how to do it on the range?" Very condescending. I mean, I doubt their "gunsmith" even touched it. I was like, you're kidding me. I told her I've racked a few pistols in my time and there's no way this one is right. No help. I said I'll just deal with Ruger myself and left. Well I just got it back from Ruger and they replaced the entire slide assembly and barrel. Works like a charm now. Than you Ruger for your excellent support! But my message to JR's is: you suck. Thanks for the support.... not! You didn't even take me seriously. Just patted me on the head and told me I wasn't "doing it right." Unreal. I will never set foot in that dump again. Bottom line: they treat their customers like idiots and won't support the products they sell or their customers. There are too many good alternatives out there for my business. Stay away. read more

Bought my Glock 17, micro Roni, Spikes Tactical AR Pistol, and Eotech here. Superb customer service! Friendly staff and awesome experience everytime I come here. The store is huge and probably have a stock of what you need gun related. Indoor range is nice. Not too crowded, clean, and price is competitive with other nearby gun range. Just a reminder though, you can only use a hollow point ammunitions if your shooting an AR due to range policy. But with pistols, I believe you can use any 9mm or .45 calibers. Love John, Tyler, McKenzie and Connie. Knowledgeable staff who's always available and willing to answer your questions and help you out. They have an excellent in-house gunsmith who fix malfunction issues with my AR and zeroed my red dots. I always come back here to buy guns and accessories. Love this place! read more

J.R. Shooting Sports - I got this micro Roni here at JR Shooting Sport. Love these awesome staff! - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

I have been coming here for a little over a year now and have never been happier with a firearms dealer great selection and very knowledgeable staff and a good price for firearm repairs and upgrades. There far prices make it worth the trip in plus the shooting range is far nicer than several others I have been to and it being a family owned and operated business makes it easy to find what your looking for and with their years of experience they have been extremely helpful with every question I've ever had Although when I first looked them up I noticed some very unusual and hateful reviews and I was happily surprised when it turned out to all be false 10/10 recommend read more

Great store. Came here one Sunday afternoon after church to do some shooting. Very reasonable shooting range prices. Wasn't too crowded which was nice. Only about 9 stalls. Staff was friendly. Would absolutely come back here. read more

I would never trust these guys for anything important. Lowballed me ridic on a a Python I was thinking of selling. Gunsmiths at the time were incompetent on a sise-by-side I wanted fixed. Went in to inquire about trigger work on a rifle - "we don't do trigger work". Rude people. Go elsewhere! read more

I like their range it's clean and usually not over crowded. I've never had any problems with any of their employees usually friendly or professional. The problem I have is with their firearm pricing. I like to support local businesses but when I went in look at handguns I couldn't believe the prices. I know you're going to a brick and mortar store and they need to make a certain amount of profit to keep their doors open. But when they are $150 to $200 dollars more than buying online it's a no brainer. I have expenses too so they priced me out of the ball park. If they were $50 or $60 more I would be a loyal customer but with their pricing they force me to buy somewhere else. Just my 2 cents worth. read more

Just left this place and I'm quite disappointed in the young girl behind the counter. I walked in and I told her I'm looking for 38 Special bullets and it's been quite a while since I've purchased them. So she puts a pack in front of me and I pull out my phone after she gave me the price. She take some back and says well if you think I'm going to stand here while you look for a better price. I said no I'm not looking for a better price I'm looking to make sure I'm not being overcharged. She was pissy as all heck. The woman that I then asked to help me I find with her mother she heard the conversation and said that she needed to go talk with her that she was waiting until I left. Oh my gosh what a horrible experience. And what if I was looking for a better price? Doesn't everybody want to find something at a good and fair price? Were they shooting me down .pun intended. because maybe their prices were high and they didn't want anybody comparing? Oh my gosh I've been in so many gun shops where people are absolutely awesome. This one leaves a lot to be desired. The only reason I racist to two star instead of one star was because this young inexperienced girls mother was nice and understanding. read more

Very helpful, they tried there best to accommodate me and my budget. Very friendly, and very nice. Will be going back here, and telling my friends to come here read more

My wife and I always use JR they have always been helpful and informative, prices are reasonable! My wife loves being able to talk to the ladies about gun choices for a woman. read more

Went in for the first time today. I wasn't sure what to expect because some of the reviews talked about how rude the staff can be. I found them to be incredibly nice and helpful. I interacted with three different people and all were nothing but accommodating to me and everyone else in the store. Will definitely come back here. It has a family operated vibe but still a good amount of inventory. I was able to find some stuff here that I was sold out everywhere online as well. read more

Only my second time buying a gun, and the customer service was excellent the counter workers were very helpful and friendly, highly recommended for all gun buyers. read more

Been going to JR's since 1991, and they always are willing to answer questions. Their stock selection is very large and varied. If they do not have what you are looking for, they will order it. Their firing range is a step above all others. They have a great ventilation system and the range is well lit. read more

Super helpful and friendly! They have a great stock of shotgun and a nice shooting range. Large selection of shooting/hunting gear. Highly recommended! read more

Very friendly and helpful staff, both on the phone and in person. I was looking to purchase a Springfield Hellcat RDP and called their store to check inventory. The woman who answered the phone was friendly and knowledgable about the firearm. Purchasing the firearm in person was a breeze, easy paperwork, and they had everything ready to go. No complaints! I'll return in the future for my firearm purchases. read more

I bought a Taurus PT 92 9mm at the advice of the staff. Shot it 3 times and it jammed each time during disassembly. I brought it in for help, and was told they would charge me a service fee to look at it. "You get what you pay for", she said. I bought the gun on their recommendation. You lost a customer. Thanks! read more

I had a great experience purchasing a rifle here and shooting at the range. The employees were helpful and pleasant. I will return here to shoot often read more

Wonderful people to do business with. I went there looking for ammo, which I found, and looking at the glass case at some of the pistols, the sales person was so approachable and willing to help that I couldn't help myself but too buy a pistol. read more

I'm at JR's pretty frequently. I like that it's a family business. Good range, nice people and LOTS of selection. The folks that work the counter are super knowledgeable and have always greeted me with a smile. I'm guessing that the negative reviews come from folks that either came in with a bad attitude or sent a bad vibe to the folks that have an obligation to be wary. Support our local economy. Shop at JR's read more

I be re missed if I didn't recognize Jordan for all her help. She's helped several times with firearm choices, picking the right magazines and even assisting me with I gather things together for pickup while I'm on patrol. A big THANK YOU to her entire family for all their support over the years read more

I came there about 10 years ago and got the same rude service people are known for getting at J.R Shooting sports. They made a big argument about the type of bullets you use. They ask me if my bullets were made in America. Shit where else would Remington be made? Then I thought the range was a bit expense, but I did travel 30 minutes to get there so I shot for about 10 minutes and left. The ventilation was absolutely terrible. It was like I could taste the lead and power in the air. Fast forward to the future. I call and asked about a quote on a gun I was interested. The sales person started talking politics. I ended up buy my gun from Shoot point blank. I am not a fan of the N.R.A. and I am a liberal. But I buy gun and I believe in the 2nd Amendment. The point is I came to buy guns not talk politics. You people are terrible and if you don't get it together you will be out of business! What a joke. read more

Selection & customer service is amazing! The guy owner was exceptionally helpful as I am new to buying fire arms. I'll be back for sure!

Extremely overpriced on all items. Compared to Shoot Point Blank just down the street, J.R's prices are about 10-25% higher. That goes for ammo, firearms, and accessories. J.R NEVER has any sales. Whereas Shoot Point Blank has sales every single week that can save you big money on ammo, and occasionally they have stupid cheap deals for firearms, you can be informed of these via Email. J.R's range is also pretty run down. It costs more than other local ranges. They force you to buy their overpriced ammo if you want to shoot there. They also only allow brass cased ammo.... (What???) I 100% regret buying my Shield2.0 there. Shoot Point Blank sells it for around $400. J.R sells it for $480..... A box of 25 rounds Hornady Critical Duty is $24 at JR, it is about $19 at shoot point blank. I would give negative stars if I could. But I can't. Stay far, far away..... read more

Staff are very knowledgeable about their products and very courteous. Prices are very affordable.

very rude and unprofessional people here, brought a ruger red label in to be sent back to ruger and the guy behind the counter says " you know if you would have spent a couple hundred dollars more you could have bought a real nice gun" who needs this crap. havent set foot in their store ever since. read more

Prices are not the best but if you want to get something reliable without any worry of a lemon this place is great. I am always well attended to and go back frequently to use the range. read more

This gun store is filled with employees that really don't care about the customer. They refused to budge on the pprice of the firearm I wished to purchase. I wanted to trade my Ruger GP100 and the salesman gave me an insulting trade-in price. I will never go back there again. read more

Went in to purchase a 22. pistol, and McKenzie greeted me at the door as soon as I walked in. She asked what I was looking for, and took me to the showcase that contained the caliber I was interested in. After discussing my needs she showed me some pistols, and explained info about them. At no time did I feel rushed or pressured. McKenzie was very helpful and showed that she was interested in assisting me in making my choice. I made the decision to purchase a Browning Buckmark. The transaction went very smooth. I would highly recommend J.R. Shooting Sports as the service was outstanding and the purchase was at a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to visit them again to handle my firearm needs. read more

OK, I'll start off by saying I like this place. It gives me 3 things that I am thankful for: 1) a place I can buy guns 2) a place I can buy ammo 3) a place I can practice shooting the items mentioned in 1 and 2. Some reviews mention the customer service isn't great here. I've actually had luke-warm to very friendly customer service. So I would say I don't agree with those other reviews. This is a gun shop. You browse, you buy, you leave. You really shouldn't enter any gun shop looking to purchase a firearm without having researched the subject for a while beforehand. It's like going to buy a car... you wouldn't go in and tell the salesperson, "I have no idea about any of these models, but please help me pick what you think might be best." Sure, they'll sit you down and talk to you all day with a pleasant voice and a smile, but do you think their advice will really stem from good customer service him/her wanting to move inventory? The best thing you can do is arrived here armed with knowledge. I've had a few questions about models before and they were answered fairly well. It was mostly based on his own opinion and I took it as just that. I purchased a Springfield 9mm XDm here and I've been extremely pleased with my purchase. They also have a fairly decent range with easy to use distance controls and plenty of targets available for purchase. My favorite is the armed mulletman robber. He looks like he means business. It's fun taking him down a peg when I unload half a mag dead center with tight grouping. The next place he tries to stick-up better have a handicap ramp. So, by now you're probably wondering, "if it's so great then why only 3 stars instead of 4 or 5?" Ah, there's the rub. This place is a little pricey. In all honesty it can be seen a compelling argument for why capitalism is a good thing. Thanks to Daley and the stupid Chicago area that's petrified of legal gun ownership there aren't too many places around that offer these services. With little competition, they can pretty much charge what they want. I'm not saying the costs here are insane, but they could definitely be a little less. The ammo is way too much and the range fee could come down a little. After all, you want to promote this hobby and recreate a loyal customer base, rather than make this an every so often but not regular event for interested persons. read more

Truth be told, the avalanche of negative reviews here caused me to avoid this range for a long time, but it's so close to my house that I eventually decided to check it out. I haven't had any of the experiences that people here have, quite the opposite in fact. The guys behind the counter have been incredibly nice and totally willing to let me check out anything in their massive array of guns and answer all my questions. The dude who runs their range is strictly business, which it seems like a lot of people mistake as him being a jerk. Do you really want to go to a range where the guy running the show is more busy being friendly and chatting with everyone instead of making sure everyone with live ammo and guns aren't doing anything stupid? Guns are dangerous when people aren't following the rules, and if I had my own range, I'd make sure that someone with a similar disposition was in charge of it. The only thing I'm not super wild about with their range is that the whole thing is really low. The tracks the target holders are on low enough, then they have you use these secondary plastic target holders that bring your target down another 6-8 inches or so. If you're using the NRA official silhouette targets (You know, the basic target everyone shoots at.) they hang so low you're shooting at a downward angle which is just a little odd. I heard someone say, "It's like shooting at a kid," which, yeah... I'm not sure how you fix this, as it's sort of just how the range is built. The retail side of JR's is great as far as selection is concerned, but their pricing is a little on the high side. It sucks as I'd love to support these guys more and buy my guns here, but the internet exists now and it's real hard to rationalize spending potentially hundreds of dollars more on something compared to just ordering it online and meeting up with a local FFL a few days later. This isn't a JR's problem as much as it's just a universal brick and mortar gun store problem. Anyway, don't let the negative reviews around here dissuade you from checking out JR's, particularly if it's the most convenient range near you. It's almost never busy, but maybe that's because people look at the Yelp reviews and decide to go somewhere else? So, yeah, I guess not TOO many people go check out JR's, I like not having to wait. :) read more

Want a gun? Want to shoot said gun? This place does that. Never enough people here to help you with your questions or show you merchandise. It's like you are bothering them.... "oh... You want to BUY that?" Been here a bunch of times now... Only to shoot at their expensive range. read more

My husband and I tried this place about a month ago. We went to local ranges but they are so worn down and dirty so we tried this place and have been there about 4x now. The store is very nicely kept. They have a lot of variety in guns and other things. Its like a mini Gander Mountain. We enjoyed the range due to its cleanliness. The targets are electronic which was the best and the lanes are decently lit. The only reason for 3 stars and not 5 is, the gentleman that checks you in at the range isn't very customer friendly. BE AWARE The clock in the range as AT LEAST 15 minutes fast and the prices are insane. They charge on a per person basis and NOT per lane. This is the first place I have gone to that has done that. Aside from the customer service and pricing it is a clean range. However we probably will not be returning to this location any more. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. To some degree, I think you have to evaluate their indifferent customer service in light of the fact that they get a lot of people walking through the door who are idiots. These potential customers don't know anything about guns, don't know how to handle them properly, and often are not seriously in the market. But, having said that, this is likely the same as most gun shops. I've bought a few handguns here, as well as quite a bit of ammo and accessories. Yet, the level of customer service is generally not too great. It can take a while to get the attention of a sales associate and some of them are downright unfriendly. They have a lot of stock--guns, ammo, and accessories. Their prices are rather high. Not too often have I seen anything I really consider a bargain. More often, I'd say that they tend to be 10-20% above the going rate for the same product elsewhere. The range is nice, but if you want to get in within a reasonable amount of time, it's best not to go on a weekend. So, overall, three stars--a well-stocked store with an excellent range of products, albeit at a premium price. A very nice range, which offers as-long-as-you-want-to-shoot range time, as long as you purchase your ammo from them. But, they really need to learn to be just a little nicer to their customers. Some of the sales staff are fine, but a larger percentage are a pain in the butt. read more
