I visited this range a couple of years ago and found it clean and well maintained, however I found the range masters to be some of the most arrogant, rude, egotistical verbally abusive jack wagons in the business. The way they were addressing issues and talked with people I personally found out of line! I have military an LE background and training and seen how to correct or address issues at the range by teaching and mentoring, not being verbally abusive and rude! Folks come to the range to enjoy this sport and want to learn from each other and be mentored by professionals not jerks! This only drives good people from this wonderful sport.

This range is an absolute kindergarten. Don’t expect to go here and work on anything remotely advanced. Range staff will lose their mind if you come with a duty belt, with a weapons system in it. Working from the holster is a no go. Transitions is a no go. Dynamic movement is a no go. The only thing this range is good for is a quick 0 on your weapons system, for both primary optics and backup sights and leaving. They do have everything available for you to use to get a good 0, but then it’s time to pack up and leave. That’s about all I would recommend this range for.

I come here for my outdoor and longer range shooting. It's a nice range, very well managed, and the staff are always helpful.
