I signed up for a Course on 4/28/19 which they chose to cancel but did not notify me. Wasted my…read moretime and money I spent on a babysitter and travel. I message then on Facebook two weeks before the class to see if the class had the min required number of people to have the class and I was told they did and the class was a go. One week before the class I got a confirmation email about the class. When I arrived at ETC and they were closed, I called them and was put in contact with the instructor who told me the class was canceled because I was the only person registered and there was no way for me to take the class they day because there was no range safety officer available. They apologized and said there nothing they could do about the travel expenses but he would refund the course tuition. Which they did. Later that morning I recieved an email from ETC in which they apologized and promised to make it up to me with and work to schedule another class at a reduced rate if I was interested and that they would call me that evening. It seemed very genuine but no call that evening. A few days later I had cooled off and I emailed them back to ask about what my tuition cost would be if I scheduled another class with them. I also texted them to let them know I had replied to the email. After a few days of no email reply, I texted them asking about the tuition cost. The response was that they had not read the mail but they would review it and call me that evening. Again, no call. So a week later from the canceled class and they have made no effort reschedule with me or even have a conversation about doing so. They talk a good game but their actions do not align. Very disappointed with the experience and would not recommend doing business with them.

I had a great experience! Kevin and Alisha were wonderful instructors. As others have mentioned,…read morethere are a lot of sales pitches for upsells in the class, but this is a family-run business and they have 3 kids to feed, so this is understandable. I got a ton of useful information from the lawyer that presented the law side of things. Both Kevin's and Alisha's presentations were engaging, so they made the 6 hour classroom time pass by quickly. The range instructors were extremely helpful and attentive. I brought my own pistol, so I was part of the "intermediate" shooting group during the 2 hour range session. They had us drill an exercise that was just slightly higher paced than the beginner (safety and basic shooting skills) part of the class. I also got some helpful tips to help me improve my shooting. All in all, great experience. I highly recommend this business.

BEWARE!! DO NOT GET A MEMBERSHIP!!…read more The range itself was decent however their corporate policies and membership cancellation is a scam. I am currently talking with their support on charges for the top teir membership for months which they never linked to my email/online account. When I logged on, it said I had no membership and there was no way to cancel. So I assumed that there was no membership. Now they are denying a refund for the membership charges for 5 months eventhough it was RangeUSA error. Thankfully I have full screen caps of my portal saying no membership, email strings with their support saying they wont fix the problem and their policy saying that The only way to cancel a membership is online through my account portal. Im filing a fraudulent complaint with the FTC and will be taking them to small claims court if they dont make this right. BEWARE!! DO NOT GET A MEMBERSHIP!!
