I’ve been trying to find a range that’s close to where I live, and is a good place to be a repeat customer. Sadly I’ll have to keep looking. I’m a former LEO, and I was doing the training taught to me and I was told that I’m not able to draw from my holster. Unfortunately there’s no reason to come back to a place that will not let me keep my skills up.

The Range is probably the nicest gun range facility in the Austin area. The facility has a nice store with plenty of guns, accessories and ammo. This place is worth a visit just to browse the guns they have on display. The gun range itself is huge, and well maintained. Safety officers always keep an eye and I’ve always felt safe here. Definitely my favorite gun range in Austin. They also have various of gun rental to choose from!

Very disappointed!!! The manager I believe his name is Will, was very disrespectful. He should be fired. He was horrible arrogant and lack customer service. Instead of fixing the problem he made a scene out of it. He gave us bad gun and not working. We spent our ammunition using our own gun and when we went back to him, he refused to give us credit on bad gun. Horrible disrespectful person. Never going back there again. Don’t trust their guns and that man was disgusting person I ever met.
