However, when I made my selection, I was charged full "new" price for what I discovered was a used gun. I called once I had a chance to carefully inspect the item and noticed that the sights had been changed and there were a couple of items missing from the case. I called to report this to the manager and never received a call back. I went by a couple of weeks later and spoke with a manager. He told me that the gun had been used for a demo and the individual wanted different sights. They did not offer to replace the original sights that were removed nor the items missing. And I did ask.

Ok first will preface this place is a little out of the way…read more.. So last year we came to F.O.P for the first time, they have a public pistol and riffle range that anyone can shoot after they sign the waiver and pay 20 bucks..... so we did that last year.... the family membership is 225.00 per year for your family to shoot the member only ranges... we had waited almost a year to come back because it is a bit out of the way and we have been busy. We took our neighbors this time and actually went on the members only portions of the range... the steel target range was fun and everything hing worked well... then we went to the riffle range to fire off a hundred or so 5.56 rounds thru the AR... folks in this range are more serious about their firearms as the folks that were here were competition shooters and gun builders. Still great group of folks... I will say we need to use our membership more often and will renew for sure. As there are limited amount of memberships sold to prevent over crowding... All in all come out and have some fun, they also rent guns, sell ammo and drinks, t shirts and other gun related stuff... Keep up the good work F.O.P!!

If you're looking for a range in Alabama, I'd recommend going somewhere else. They still require a…read moreCCW permit to join, even though Alabama went full constitutional carry back in 2023. The state law clearly says no permit is needed to carry concealed anymore, but this place is sticking to the old requirement just to be extra gate keepey about 2A. It's their private property, so they can set their own rules I understand that. But the part that really stands out is how they deny ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE members if they don't have a CCW. Let get real these are the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect and defend the Constitution, including the Second Amendment. And yet they're being told they need a government issued permission slip just to shoot at this range BWAHAHAHA. That feels completely backwards and disrespectful to those who serve. Most folks aren't going to go through the extra steps classes, fees, paperwork, fingerprints, photos, and waiting periods when the state already says you're good to go without any of it. If you want a background check just run every member though any of the 1000 background check sites. It ends up just being straight gatekeeping, limiting access to only those who already got the government's approval. CCW permits have ALWAYS been unconstitutional because the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms without needing government permission slips it's a fundamental right, not a privilege granted by the state. Big miss for this range It's disappointing to see a place that's supposed to be pro-gun still doing this in 2026 Alabama, especially when it affects active duty members who just want to go enjoy their rights. If you're looking for a no-hassle spot with better vibes, try the Talladega range, Sentinals, or Hoover Tactical if you need a rifle range and if you are lucky just shoot at a friend's place if you know anyone with land no CCW anti 2a Drama. This one gets a 0/10 from me. Save your time and go elsewhere.

I took my son to the range to shoot today. As we approached the counter, one of the young men…read morebehind the counter asked what caliber rifle we were going to be firing, and I told him. He asked to see the rounds we were going to be firing, and I obliged, and gave him the five 30- round magazines of ammo we brought. I understand that confirmation is needed to make sure we didn't bring the wrong type of ammo to an indoor range. He immediately snapped at me "don't ever bring loaded magazines like this again". I understand that Hoover Tactical has policies, but I wasn't crazy about the idea of his tone and the fact he was talking to me this way in the presence of my son as I'm being a compliant customer. The man behind the counter emptied all of the magazines in a plastic tray. Again, I have no problem with this. As he was emptying the second magazine, he said "IM GLAD I CHECKED BECAUSE HE HAS ARMOR PIERCING ROUNDS!" He said this where there was no way that the others in line didn't hear it. I tried to tell him that none of the rounds I brought were armor piercing. I told him that I bought the rounds at palmetto state. He replied in a loud and arrogant tone "I don't care where you bought them!" I decided the best thing I could do was to let him conclude whatever he wanted to conclude. A few minutes later I heard him say very quietly "maybe they're alright". After he had unloaded the five 30 round magazines, I went to get the ammo and magazines from the counter. He said "Sorry I had to take them all out, not sorry for you, sorry for me". My line of work, I have to train with firearms. As a matter of fact, my employer has a contract with Hoover Tactical. It's a very convenient location for me as I live about a mile and a half away. But I don't patronize businesses that don't treat me like a customer. I hate leaving bad reviews, but I felt it was my responsibility to report the treatment my son and I received. It was unnecessary.

We packed up our range bag and headed to the only indoor range around (Hoover tactical) since it's…read moretoo hot outside. As we approached the counter, the folks behind us were helped first. We started to fill out the liability waiver and I asked about ammo. I purposefully didn't bring ammo because I wanted to support the business by purchasing their ammo. I was told they were completely out of ammo and that I could find some at Marks outdoors down the road. Then I was told that the pistol range was closed so we would be using our pistols next to all of the rifles. The folks behind us were two young kids with an AK. I wasn't too happy to be sharing the range with these young kids and their AK. I wanted to brush up on some things with my wife so she would still be comfortable with the pistol we bought for her. So without ammo we left and headed to marks outdoors. As I was in the ammo section of marks explaining to the ammo attendant our situation, a random person next to me said that he always gets a mini draco inadvertently waved at him by some untrained young kids. So this would be 0 stars but u give it 1 because the folks at the front counter were very nice and they did tell me where to find ammo. We didn't bother shooting there today and I'll probably never go back unless I hear the safety requirements are being policed far more stringently. Too bad this is the only indoor range around...

You can buy great pots and pans, utensils, plates, serveware, cocktail shakers, anything you can imagine. Probably at a lower cost than most other retailers, too. But, if you need an industrial grade fryer or ginormous rolling trash cans, they also have that here. It was way busier than I thought it would be in here. An incredibly useful store to have in Birmingham, the people working here were obviously very busy fulfilling large orders, so it took my dad and his singular pair of tongs a second to get checked out, but no stress. I kinda wanted the ketchup and mustard bottles to put my face wash in in my bathroom. Maybe I'll have to go back.

I was welcomed warmly and had a ton of questions about honey bees and getting started in beekeeping. The staff were super helpful and clearly know their stuff. They have a great selection, everything you'd need to get started in beekeeping, plus honey, bee-themed gifts, bees' wax for candelmaking, and more. I asked for some information and they texted it over right away. I did purchase some local honey and learned I can bring the jar back for a refill at a good cost, which I love.

AND they had the honey from bees right here in the city. Incredible. Aside from that, they are basically a full blown, full service, one stop shop for any and all of your beekeeping needs. I don't actually keep bees, but I found their shop to be really interesting, and the people to be really friendly and informative. They also offer beekeeping classes if you want to go and learn a bit about that. Overall this is a pretty interesting place that's worth a visit if for no reason other than to pick up some honey made right here in Bham. Definitely stop in and check it out.
