Excellent range and excellent instructors. Had a class with Andrew and it was very informative. Will 100% be patronizing this place as much as I can. Thanks again!

I wanted to give an updated review as I only have given one since I have been visiting this place for the last 4 years or so. Having a shop/range in the city seems to me, from my experience, to be extremely more difficult in terms of selection of inventory and prices on ammo. This has been for the industry as a whole since the pandemic, but much more difficult for city shops. Throughout the last 2 years or the pandemic this place has consistently come through as a shining star given the circumstances that have been place upon it. I want to not only re-iterate the great aspects of this shop in terms of being a generally professional, well-run, and all around great business; but I also want to commend them on remaining stable, fair, honest, and courteous throughout these last 2 difficult years. There is more excellence to this place than I could explain but taking everything into account along with them being a great ship and range....I would give ten stars if I could. In conclusion I want to thank the PTA and all the staff for everything they have done for me and the city and I urge anyone I'm the city to visit this place if they have not already.

The shooting range was very clean & professional. Everyone in there was nice & we’re happy to answer questions. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is bc of the parking but hey, that’s south Philly

That's a good question, I don't know because I've never rented a weapon from the club; but they do rent them on premise for target practice use. I would suggest you phone the club during normal business hours with your inquiry.

Approximately how long is the beginner course?

Elaine Horton | Dec 25, 2018
Daniel Savloff | Dec 26, 2018

They don't have beginner courses that I know of, just private lessons. The only courses I know they have are for certifications for security guards and NSA trainers. For private citizens seeking knowledge how to shoot they offer free lesson with a purchase of new firearm or you can buy lessons based on your own needs.
