Let me tell you. I just came from shooting with some of my friends at The Marksman. We had the most amazing instructor "Juan" .He helped us a lot especially me with my stance, the correct way to hold your weapon and shoot the target. He was patient and very helpful. Thanks Juan

Old man didn't like how my bullets "sparked" yet after he took them to the counter for checking they were passed off as "fine". He really didn't want me to shoot this gun. Miscommunication and he caught an aggressive attitude. Range was okay at best. Staff besides that man were great though. Just ruined any good thoughts of the range.

Went to this range for my first time today to shoot with a family member. Staff was very polite and helpful. Seemed very knowledgeable and the range was very well kept. Not sure about some folk but I love the smell of spent rounds. Thanks had a blast!

Nae K | Nov 1, 2020

My grandson and I went in 2017, it was a great experience. Seems like a family business,the instructor was a no nonsense,down to earth ,personable gentlemen,he wasn’t stiff or hard, but you didn’t shoot until you learned. Now its 2020 and I’m gonna call tomorrow,i have a new gun and want proper professional guidance about it,when i took my grandson i picked from available time slots and i paid in advance,only because it was a surprise for his birthday. I’m pretty sure you wont be displeased when you go.

Do I need to reserve a bay ahead of time?

Sam Hayward | Jun 4, 2022
Rusty Shackleford | Jun 4, 2022

Hi Sam, I did not reserve ahead of time. They have maybe 8 lanes. I had no wait. But, it wouldn’t hurt to call and check in case they’re doing a class.

Do you have to bring your own hearing protection and safety glasses or do y'all have some that can be rented

tammy pickett | Jan 5, 2022
Jp C | Jan 5, 2022

They do have eye protection and ear protection if you need it. You can rent it. I think it's $1 for safety glasses and Less than that for earplugs. You can get your own safety glasses and earplugs at any hardware store but if you forget then they do have them for you. The Marksman is an awesome shooting range with very skilled employees. I love going there. They also offer concealed carry permit classes and safety classes. Give the Marksman some love, JP.

By what I understand, it's pistol calibers only. I have seen rifles in there before, but I *believe* the ammo has to be frangible. It's best to call them directly & ask.
