Shout out to Robert the RSO for coming by and chatting, and giving me tips on how to zero my rifle. Didn't catch the name of the guy at the counter, but he was great too. Me and my wife went for the non-member, hourly rate. We probably spent about 3 hours there ($45/hour, per person), but he ended up only charging me for the time, and said my wife didn't have to pay "since she didn't shoot too much" (although she definitely did). Ranges were at 15 yards, 50 yards, 100 yards, and 300 yards (members only for the 300 range). Site had restrooms and water. Don't see how anyone could have a bad time here. RSOs were extremely chill and were always respectful (unlike RSOs at other ranges I've been to). Ranges were very cooperative, unlike anything I've seen at other places. Patrons are largely in control of going hot and cold, as long as every just gives the thumbs up, they're not timed or anything. Will definitely return, and probably look to become a member. They offer veteran discounts on membership too.

New to the area, I decided to try this facility out. The previous reviews were not very helpful, so…read moremy daughter and I went in not expecting much. Well to my great pleasure the staff at front desk was extremely inviting, explained everything explicitly well, the facilities are excellent well maintained and organized. The RSO was quite knowledgeable and helpful. We spent a couple hours and we were impressed! Purchased a family membership and will be regulars from now on. FYI the ownership recently changed and not sure how it was before but this group seems to have there ducks in a row! The training range is separate so there is no scheduling issues of the ranges if they are open you can shoot! I highly recommend this friendly, clean and well organized facility!

They kept the class entertained, all while given us valuable knowledge regarding safe gun handling. The 4hrs class plus the live fire section were perfect. At first I was a little overwhelmed with all the information we were getting. However by incorporating class participation, things began to stick. And yes I still remember the 3 rules of handgun safety: 1) always point the gun in a safe direction. 2)keep your hand off the trigger unless you are ready to shoot. 3)keep the gun unloaded, unless for home defense!!! Thanks Dave and Drew for making this a great learning experience for myself and my family. Now if I can just just a collection like the ones you guys have. Lol.

I had two gifted children that I removed from Frederick County Public Schools because this school…read moresystem refused to meet their educational needs. Had they been delayed they would have received the attention they needed but because they were advanced they were ignored. Gifted kids can't be ignored. They stop trying and end up failing. My children LOVED Winchester Montessori. I did too. I never saw them happier. They were excited to go to school every day. They learned so much. Montessori schools are not for everyone. It is a child lead educational approach. If your child is not motivated to complete their work they aren't going to learn. I loved the teachers here. I thought they were fantastic. Both my kids went from hating to read to asking me to buy them books. They finally love to read. Both are reading advanced novels. This change was fast. The class did chemistry (MEL science kits). Mrs. Sheehy really knew how to get the kids excited about learning. My oldest is in 7th grade now. My daughter is a 5th grader. We left Winchester Montessori because we moved out of town. After attending Winchester Montessori for two years, both my children have been placed in the GT programs. My oldest has been placed in classes 2 grade levels above his own. My daughter is working 1-2 grade levels above her own depending upon the subject. Frederick Country claimed my kids were simply average. They weren't. They were ignored. Thanks to Mrs. Sheehy and her school their education has skyrocketed. Thank you!

I was here for a white coat ceremony and fell in love with all of the ponds, streams, and lakes that dot the campus. They have charming little red bridges, cherry blossom trees, happy forsythia bushes, and weeping willows which makes spring an absolute spectacular time to walk around. Although the school is small, it was evident that the staff was committed to the personal wellbeing and success of every student. The camaraderie in the room was absolutely electric and every student got a white coat cookie with their name on it. How's that for personalization? There's tons of wineries and cute small town restaurants near by as well. I really enjoyed my visit!

Public Review of Massanutten Military Academy 2025 Summer Camp - A Concerned Parent's Perspective…read more I am writing this review to share my family's troubling experience with Massanutten Military Academy and to raise concerns about what I believe to be subtle discrimination that ultimately led to my son, being removed from the program. My son was dismissed after a series of incidents that, while concerning in isolation, were interpreted and handled in a way that I believe was biased, disproportionate, and lacked the supportive framework that a school should provide. From the beginning, my son was subjected to scrutiny that did not appear to be equally applied to others. For example, while he refused a haircut to conform to JROTC standards--a decision some may view as defiant--others who also resisted conformity were not disciplined as severely. Additionally we were told by the Admissions Representative Mr. Elshafe that his hair would be ok and he would not need a haircut. There were several behavioral concerns raised, including an inappropriate comment made during formation, complaints from peers, and his involvement in a misguided prank. My son did take accountability for his presence during one of the incidents but consistently denied direct involvement, and no definitive evidence was presented against him. Despite this, the school concluded that he was the ringleader and used that assumption to justify his removal. This outcome disregarded mitigating factors such as his attempts to comply afterward, the lack of verified misconduct in certain situations, and the possibility that his behavior was misinterpreted or handled without the cultural sensitivity or emotional support that could have de-escalated the situation. Moreover, the language used by staff and the assumptions made about his behavior suggest a deeper issue--one where minority students or those who don't immediately conform may be more harshly judged. While the school may defend its actions as protecting others, the process felt more punitive than corrective, more exclusionary than educational. As a parent, I expected the school to foster growth, discipline, and mentorship--not alienation. I urge other parents, especially those of children who may not fit a narrow mold, to be cautious and to ask critical questions about how discipline is administered and whether fairness is truly practiced. This experience has been painful, but I hope speaking out leads to reflection and change within the institution. Every child deserves to be guided--not just judged. -- Elisa
