Update 12/29/2016: Live fire range is very nice and they have a good rental selection too! You can bring your own ammo (just pay a $5 fee) which is great and they also have ammo in house to purchase in case you need more. They also have target sheets for purchase too (but you can bring your own if preferred). Rental guns are available too and they have a good selection for both hand guns and long guns (I recommend the Tavor to try out). And again the staff are very professional and ready to assist when needed and I've always felt welcomed everytime I go there. I've also done their CHL class and the TD1 class and I definitely recommend it. Will be taking their TD2 and TD3 class soon! read more

If you haven't been yet, make it a priority! It's educational and the simulators really get your adrenaline going! Ryan is our favorite. Brought in a group of 4 non-gun-savvy women (for a work/team-building function) today who were somewhat nervous, but he did a fantastic job of explaining/teaching while making us feel at ease. (As much as is possible). While Ryan is the fave, we've never had a bad experience here. The whole team at Threat is top-notch! read more

I took a 1:1 introductory lesson here for a newly acquired shotgun. The staff was professional, friendly, and in no way intimidating due to my lack of experience. I had a great time and left feeling much more confident with my firearm. The facility was clean and clearly run as a tidy ship. read more

Threat dynamics provided a safe and fun experience. Having done actual training with the USMC, I can tell you it is also authentic. The instructors are knowledgeable and can help with stance, aiming and reaction. The scenarios stepped up and allow you to get comfortable and progress at a rate that suits your skills. I recommend it for people who are looking to become competent in a real threat scenario or for people who just want to have a fun, safe and educational firearms experience. read more

Good prices. Professional staff. Good range. My preferred pistol range in/around Portland.

Very welcoming environment that does a great job in teaching and enforcing safety while having fun. read more

Threat Dynamics - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Sherwood, Oregon

I must be honest, I went into date night at Threat Dynamics a bit on edge and nervous. Not because I was going to handle a handgun but because I get stuck in my head when trying new things. I came out all smiles and ready to come back! Chris, our guide/instructor, had a very calming effect on me. Hid kindness and patience makes him an excellent instructor. His humor helped as well. The simulators were a new experience for me. The 300 degree real life scenarios helped me to be a bit more prepared in the real world. I cannot wait to come back! read more

Made an appointment for private instructions to take my wife in for some live fire range time. The instruction was top notch and the approach of the instructor was just what she needed, not drill Sargent like. She was given answers to her questions that were on her level and not over technical. She now has more questions so I am sure we will be seeing more time on the range. Thanks again to everyone for such a great experience. Steve read more

Well run, decent prices, awesome rental options and great ventilation. Great for inclement weather and a fun time with friends or wife!

This is my go to gun range, the 1st day i went there as a new gun owner i went in feeling intimidated as you usually do trying something new and when i walked in and the staff there was so nice so welcoming, you could tell they were all gun enthusiasts that wanted to help you! The building is very modern and welcoming and the 2nd time i came they welcomed me in by name like i was a regular which i thought was really nice. read more

Between the instruction, the simulations and the live range - Threat Dynamics creates an amazingly comfortable environment to learn in - until the Threat Arena simulation starts - then it seems VERY real. Outstanding facility - Chris and Ross were fantastic to work with. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. read more

We went shooting today and had issues with our new DPMS G2. The gun kept jamming even though we had cleaned and oiled it the night before. Cliff heard me saying I was disappointed in the gun and he came to the rescue. He took our G2 apart and oiled it more. Feeling stupid but thank God for Cliff! The gun fired awesome after his help. Thank you Cliff and Threat Dynamics! read more

Very professional and great place to learn. But why are the employees unarmed? Seems unsafe if there's no god guys to care for the customers. read more

The worst customer service. Back in February, I booked two spots for a class. After a cancelation, I was told by an employee that they would reach out to me with a March schedule to attend a new class. I emailed them at the end of Feb. after hearing nothing. I knew they were still having classes all of March before getting shut down due to COVID. Since then they have reopened and I've called and sent over twenty emails trying to get ahold of them. I wanted to book a new class before I moved out of state, but still no response and I've lost $150. read more

My husband and I have been to their new place twice. He had shot in their shipping container several times in the past as he has a membership. Both times we have been there to shoot at the new location really was unbearable. ..and we are gun people. We love to shoot. They apparently allow large caliber rifles ( 2 people shooting them last time we were there) in their TINY sized indoor range. It really is too loud for that small of a range. The concussion from the shots move your pant legs kind of loud. Impossible to enjoy yourself. Too bad they couldn't have set hours for the large caliber rifles so you could choose to shoot somewhere else or avoid it during those hours. read more

Had a great experience at Threat Dynamics. We went with a group and did the simulators. I expected to just go in and shoot a bunch at random scenarios (which we did), but what we really enjoyed is that it was also a learning experience. Our trainer was fun and extremely knowledgeable. If you have guns, carry concealed, or just need more experience before getting into the Shooting sports Threat Dynamics is an excellent (and fun option). Highly recommended! read more

Received a gift card. We were told "you do not need anything just show up and we will take care of you". Showed up at 10:00 am, door was locked, although the staff (3) were in the store and saw me at the door. They opened at 10 am, but decided to "open" at 10:15 while I waited outside. I went in, showed the arrogant employee me my paper work. He arrogantly stated "what is it you want to do"? I simply stated "I wanted to utilize my gift card and see what this is about". He stated, "did you bring a gun"? I stated "no, but that I do have guns and that I am very experienced with a hand gun". I was told that "unless I brought my own firearm, that I had to have someone with me". I asked "why, is there a problem"? He arrogantly said "either you bring your own gun, or you bring in someone with you" which is the total opposite of what we were told when the gift card was purchased. I am not sure of the why behind the "policy" of bring your own or bring someone with you exists. You would think it might be the other way around. Anyway, I left with my $100.00 gift card in hand. Not so much because of the policy, but more about the arrogance of the jerks in the store. Opening late. Changing their message. And more importantly, behaving like arrogant jerks is why I left. I will "re-gift" that card, because I am not about to give my time, my attention, and any more of my cash to the Treat Dynamic Clowns. Buyer beware... read more

Last night I took my Tactical Defensive Shooting 1 class. I was shocked to find out that I was not nearly as good as I thought I would be. These guys emphasize safety first. I'm glad I took this class because it showed me my training does not stop with obtaining my CHL. Training is a life long process. The training at Threat Dynamics was humbling, but so necessary. I'm already signed up for Tactical Defensive 2, but a lot of homework to do before the next class. Thanks guys for your patience as we try to teach an old dog new tricks. read more

I had a great time getting training with Ryan at Threat Dynamics. Using the situation simulators was a truly unique experience and Ryan's feed back was to the point and extremely helpful to my understanding of situations, I'd never been in before. Sure, I failed a few of the situations by getting killed, but what a good way to learn what NOT to do. As Ryan reminded me be right or be wrong, but doing nothing usually results in the worst decision as you could get killed. In identifying an imminent threat and dealing with it. I'll definitely be back when traveling this way again. Bob, from WA read more

Excellent. Everything was run extremely well. Staff was kind and helpful. Everything was organized. Classes were very informational. Gun choices were large. Simulator rooms were very cool. Excellent experience. read more

I love this place! My husband and I first went in December after being referred from the gun show we attended. Every person we have talked to has been polite, patient and knowledgeable. Im new to owning and operating a gun and they have NEVER made me feel insecure about that. We have worked with Clint several times and Cliff also. Highly recommend both of them, although everyone there is great. We've used the gun range 3 or 4 times and are considering becoming members. This past week I took the Women's Only Basic Handgun training course and the instructor was awesome. The class was informative and fun, which prompted me to sign up for more classes. I cannot say enough good things about them. read more

This place is awesome. My husband and I love to shoot live ammo and they have a range. They also have a fun interactive simulation game. We had a lot of fun doing it together. We will definitely be going back. The guys here are very friendly. read more

My boyfriend, Brian and I came to do the virtual shooting range and enjoyed ourselves very much. Our instructor, Dan was awesome and gave us lots of tips during our rookie gun handling and would definitely come visit him again next time we're in Oregon for an one on one training! Definitely recommend to anyone going to Oregon for some fun. read more

I returned to find the live fire range well-ventilated. The vents were turned way up and blowing down range. When my companion's gun fired, the gun put out a lot of smoke. It was visible. I saw the smoke blown down range. That is what you want to avoid inhalation poisoning. I bought 3 chamber flags, 4 assorted targets, and paid the range fees, all for a price that is best in comparison. I have shopped around for indoor ranges and this appears to be the best place. read more

Corey at threat dynamics was AWESOME! He made my families Christmas gift a total win! My nephews loved it and they learned a lot too! Fun, realistic, educational, and entertaining. Can't say how much we enjoyed ourselves! Thank you! read more

I came here to learn about firearms. I knew nothing, came in to take their Basic Intro to Firearms. When I walked I felt the staff's energy. While taking the class the instructor was great the class flew right by. When I finished the class not only was I more educated on firearms, I was less scared of them also. Dan was my instructor and he was awesome! The other staff were great also making sure you were helped. I highly recommend Threat Dynamics, because of their extremely professional staff!!! read more

The simulator is a lot of fun and was a great way to introduce my wife to firearms. I have been twice now, and the staff gave great tips and instruction when we wanted it, but also let us have fun with it for those who didn't want to take it as seriously. Highly recommend anybody try it. read more

I purchased a Groupon for Threat Dynamic a couple of months ago thinking the virtual simulator would make a fun date day w/the hubs. Well....it was fun, but more than that I felt so comfortable after spending time on the simulator I realized I really wanted to learn how to shoot! I always been pretty nervous about guns and my husband has been trying to get me to learn for a long time. I had no intentions of real firearm training when we went, but the whole staff is so knowledgeable, professional, and friendly I was intrigued! Fast forward....hubby got me my very own Glock 43 for Christmas, I've had a couple range days and I just came home from the woman's intro to hand guns class taught by Cerisse. Highly recommended!! Super informative class and Cerisse really knows her stuff and how make us ladies a bit more comfortable w/ a fire arm in a fun atmosphere. I love that they offer so many classes and am looking forward to the next one! read more

Greed finally hit Threat Dynamics. Went in to shoot today and was informed that not only can you not bring in your own targets anymore, but you also cant bring your own ammo, (unless you are a member). They claim that this is due to "a few bad apples that brought in dangerous ammo and racist targets".. I find this hard to believe considering they check your ammo before you can shoot.. and they have cams on the range so they could put a stop to unacceptable targets with the snap of a finger.. or ya know, just check them with the ammo. It is very obvious that they made these policy changes to push their over priced memberships and their in house manufactured ammo. "we don't allow outside ammo, but no probs bro, we just happen to make our own that we can sell you".. lol cute guys. And even as a member, they raised the price to use your own ammo. Looks like the hunt for a range that encourages us to practice continues. read more

Did the intro to fin safety course. Probably the best and most informative 4 hours I have spent for a long time. The instructor was above reproach both in his credentials, knowledge and ability to keep the class totally engaged. I would recommend this course to both experienced fun people and new comers to a fire arm read more

I took a class with Josh and it was just excellent. I'm a complete novice and I felt like I was in expert hands. They really respect the machines they are dealing in there. That respect results in a focus on safety. Josh was welcoming, approachable, and passionate. The level of customer service and commitment to what they are doing is just incredible. I'm looking forward to going back, and I would recommend anyone. There were kids in my class, women, mature folks...it was really great. My expectations were exceeded. read more

Amazing intro to handgun safety course last night. I would suggest this to anybody... pro gun.. anti gun.. I think everybody would do well to have a solid understanding of gun safety. read more

I'm a newbie to gun ownership and handling. Threat Dynamics has been amazing! Classes are thorough and taught by very experienced instructors. The range is well thought out and I feel comfortable using them. I felt so comfortable - I got a membership and go practice regularly. I haven't had the chance to use the simulator but, I have sent my daughter and boyfriend on a date there and they had a blast! read more

I was teaching one of my good friends how to shoot guns for the first time so he wasn't shooting good groups, an employee of yours came up to us and said our groups are horrible because we aren't breathing correctly and I wasn't very upset about that but afte criticizing my friends first time shooting technique he proceeded to grab my $1300 bullpup assault rifle and play with it, saying he didn't like my vertical foregrip I installed on it, we had a conversation about my past work experience and why I am no longer employed at my last job and said that it was most likely an "integrity issue" which I found completely insulting. He was very prying and unprofessional. If you want to have a good day out shooting, I definitely would not recommend this range to you. Sad to say because they have a very nice range a good rentals. read more

Wife picked up a Groupon for a one hour simulator course for two people. Went with my son, enjoyed the experience and the staff. Definitely see going back sometime to take advantage of one of the ranges. read more

While the range is apparently pretty good...we would never know, because after more than two hours of waiting, we never even had a chance to get into a lane. The staff was polite, but we were repeatedly told "there are only 2 people ahead of you, it will just be 20 more minutes or so." Well, after seeing about 7 to 10 groups go in before us and waiting for more than 2 hours, we realized that we were not going to get into a lane anytime soon. In addition to the wait, we were told that we couldn't use our own ammo that we brought because it wasn't the type of casing the owner uses to refill ammo and resell it to the public with his company. We were good sports and polite all through and when we went to leave and return the ammo we never had a chance to use, the staff just said "sorry" and let us walk out without any further word or explanation. We don't want anything for free, but feel that there was no attempt to "make it right," even if just giving us more reasonable expectations of timing We will be making the extra 45 minute drive to "The Place to Shoot" in North Portland whenever we want to visit a range from here forward - their pricing is far more affordable and they are far more accommodating. read more

Originally I took the Women's Basic Intro to Handguns class last March as a birthday gift. Ever since then I have been boasting to anyone that will listen about the wonderful Threat Dynamics. I purchased a great deal through their website in May for 2 people to do a simulator package for $50 (half off). Well, after my experience last night with the package that I was finally able to go do, looks like I will be boasting 10x more. Their new facility is freaking sweet!! So sleek, modern, and (dare I say) sexy! The staff that work there are so knowledgable and easy to talk with. Our instructor (gosh I forgot his name) was so great and left my boyfriend and I with some really useful information to think about when it comes to self defense with a firearm. We had a blast, learned some strengths and weaknesses, and left feeling like champs! I can't wait to go back again to run through some more scenarios. This place is TOP NOTCH!!!!!! Thanks threat dynamics for providing a safe and fun way to learn proper firearm skills. Ps: it is a ways away from Portland but soooo worth the drive!! read more

My husband and I admittedly don't get out much but when the latest "Concealed Carry 101" course was available, we were on it like white on rice. The owner of Threat Dynamics, Ryan Tuttle taught the bulk of the course and was followed by Kevin Starrett, Director of the Oregon Firearms Federation. The 4+ hour class was chock full of crucial information for any CHL holder. The scenario session completed the evening seeing how our class would react in the real-life situations. We have both taken (prior classes at Threat Dynamics and we will be back for more trainings, the gun range and to experience more scenarios. See the old business information for my 2 prior reviews. read more

My wife and I recently attended the Carry Class that was given by Threat Dynamics. It was the first time we had been in their new facility. We were impressed by the new facility setup and it adds a great deal to their professional look. The Carry Class was informative but must admit that it could have been an hour shorter. It was a full class and the instructors were informative. We purchased discount scenario coupons during the Carry Class and we used them today with our family. The instruction provided and the training was excellent. We certainly got our money's worth. I would recommend Threat Dynamics as a training facility for those wanting to learn about the safe use of fire arms, for those seeking to attend a Carry Class and for those wanting to improve their skills. read more

I've been a customer of Threat Dynamics for a while now. Every single time is a great experience. It doesn't matter if I'm just buying accessories or going in for some range time, their staff is always great. Most recently, I've been working with either Kyle or Mark on the simulator range. Either one of them have much to teach and I look forward to my appointments with them. Their new facility is definitely top tier. There's attention to detail in every corner with a very comfortable feel. read more
