I had never shot a gun before coming here (other than a small rifle in boy scouts), and probably…read morehad one of the best experiences of my life at this facility. I was pretty nervous about handling and shooting the firearms at first, but the staff there ensured safety by going over their rules and procedures. After being taught how to properly handle the guns, we started shooting different handguns at the paper targets. After feeling comfortable and confident with those, we moved on to using some bigger assault rifles and even got to try out their gatlan gun. When looking for a shooting range in the Reno area, this is exactly what I was hoping for. The outdoor experience is was nicer and more fun in my opinion. The staff here was great at knowing when to help out and when to give you space and let you figure things out on your own. I would 100% recommend this place and will be coming back here the next time i'm in Reno. I would suggest this as one of the safest shooting ranges and perfect for beginners. This range also has a bunch of far out metal targets that are for people that are more advanced. 10 Stars if I could

I'm not sure when Nevada Firearms Academy took over operating this range, but we should all be…read moregrateful they did. Years ago I was there when still run by the county and the range master spent more time yelling about everything than actually running the range. NFA staff are friendly, polite and have zero tolerance for range safety issue. Issues are dealt with in a professional, instructive manner. Prices are fair and it has the only long distance rifle course in the area.

I want to give Josh a huge thank - you. As a tourist who drove all the way from San Jose,…read moreCalifornia to experience shooting, I originally only expected to try out fully automatic rifles and the 50 Cal BMG sniper rifle at a reasonable price. However, during the shooting experience with Josh, I found that he was more like a long - time friend who was also highly professional. He provided patient and expert guidance on how to shoot, and would chat with me, making the whole process much more relaxed and enjoyable. I think the 4 - hour drive here was totally worth it. The shooting range is his private property, and it feels extremely free and relaxing here. If you want to have an excellent shooting experience rather than just simply firing a gun, then choosing Josh will definitely be a great option.

Absolutely amazing experience! We had the time of our life! Can't wait to come back! Josh is so…read moreprofessional and friendly, he really knows his stuff! Thank you again!

Great gun store and even better range; best in Northern Nevada!…read more The service is fantastic. They are patient and really go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and that you understand safety and what you're doing and make everything really easy. When you get there you complete your registration and rent a lane. Then you can either use your own firearm, eye and ear protection, and ammunition or you can rent or purchase everything. You can rent handguns and various semi-auto rifles for a flat rate plus ammunition, or you can rent automatics or belt fed machine guns by buying magazines or belts, no flat rental rate required. It can all add up pretty quickly but overall the rates and prices are reasonable. I had a great time, my favorite was firing the Thompson submachine gun on full auto, and will definitely be back for the M1!

This is the ultimate outdoor shooting range in the South Reno/ Carson City area! There are Range…read moreSafety officers on site available to answer questions and maintain safety. They are always knowledgeable, professional and friendly. There is a covered rifle range and separate covered pistol range. There are also four private bays that can be reserved or used if no one is in them at the time. The place is well maintained and safe.

What a great facility! I highly recommend this to anyone in the area over the other Washoe County…read moreoutdoor option near Pyramid Lake. Nestled amongst the mountains just outside of Carson City proper you're surrounded by Nevada's natural beauty out here, which is a great way to start. From there you've got a wide open parking area with plenty of spots right behind the range areas, well kept concrete walkways and accessible ramps, large shade areas over shooting benches with adjustable stools, and ample, well kept ranges with multiple lanes to accommodate several shooters at once. Best of all there's a range master who moves between the rifle and pistol ranges making sure everyone is staying safe and keeping the areas clean of brass to avoid any issues. The rifle range was great with target stands available and settings at 50 yard increments. They offer seated and prone lanes as well, which is great depending on what you're training. The pistol range has targets at closer increments as well with large tables to set up on, allowing you to spread out and prepare multiple weapons at once. Though we didn't use it, they also have a range with private bays that you can use to train up close, 3-gun etc. Nice to know they have that option! Oh and you can't beat the price at $5 a person to use the facility for the day. Pretty nice to have this option in the area!

We went to a shoot that cost $60 to shoot and there was no money back for a competition the targets have been the same for the last year they haven't changed anything and the staff doesn't know what they're doing majority of the time whoever is running the place now really needs to figure there stuff out or they're going to continue to lose customers such a disappointment they could have a nice club if they had someone working there that knew what they were doing

Having the open desert behind most shots the depth perception can be slightly challenging (but this is where we hunt so the practice is spot on). The facilities are nice and the trap and skeet courses look solid. The systems use bear boxes with a computer in them, you carry a key card and that tracks your shot. Over the entire course we probably had a handful of broken clays and misfires. Thanks for providing these facilities to our area.
