Facility is nice too bad the employees behind the sale counter are the rudest human beings I’ve ever encountered and it’s not just a one time thing. This last time the lady with no hair was rude and said something snarky then I continued to look around for another 20 minutes just for her to tell me she wasn’t selling me anything when I was trying to purchase 2 rifles and some magazines for my pistols.

I visited the other day with my sister. I’m a somewhat experienced shooter, but this was her first time. We met Greg, an employee behind the gun rental counter who was happy to help us, and guide us in choosing a rental that would make sure she had a nice time. He suggested a .22 AR-15, and 50 rounds of ammo. The gun was light, very little recoil, and low difficulty to learn how to use it. Greg knew what he was talking about and really helped my sister feel comfortable holding a firearm for the first time, stepping way beyond common decency. There was also an exceptionally helpful RSO who helped us both out and encouraged her. She had a great time and we’re looking forward to our return visit.

Very nice shooting range with great people and awesome service. The Process to book a one hour shooting range on the spot was good and smooth.

Rather LiveInKeyWest | Nov 7, 2018

Google Maps Questions area is place for customers to ask questions of other customers about a place or service? Sometimes the establishments do troll for questions here, but not often (in my experience). Best bet to get a real answer is to contact the place directly.

Can 1st time gun own have help with thier gun

Roslyn Andersonsmith | Nov 6, 2020
Colonial Shooting Academy | Nov 6, 2020

Only for a minute at the rental counter, not on the range. We have to watch the range to keep it safe. If you somehow lucked out and were on the range by yourself, I’m sure that would be okay. Maybe you could share a lane with someone who already knows how to shoot? You could take a private lesson though! This would need to be pre-scheduled. I hope this helps!

Do you have any 9mm ammo in stock for purchase?

Melissa Payton | Nov 6, 2020

Right now, we are only selling 9mm for range use. Not for takeout purchases.

How much is it

Carl Wilfong | Nov 6, 2020
RJ Whaley | Nov 6, 2020

$25 an hour for the lane rental. Not including anything else you might want. Kind of al a cart, so if you have everything then nothing else, but if you need anything, they can offer it.

Do they have guns there you can use?

Wild & Wonderfully Made | Nov 7, 2019
RJ Whaley | Nov 7, 2019

Yes, they have a rental counter with everything from revolvers to .45 caliber handguns, rifles and even a few machine guns all for rent. When you rent a gun you can exchange it up to 3 times for the one cost unless you move up in the line (pistol to machine gun is upgrade). You will however have to purchase the ammo there to use in their guns for liability reasons.

Can you bring your own a.m. mood do you have to buy theirs

jacob Schmitz | Nov 7, 2018
Colonial Shooting Academy | Nov 7, 2018

You can bring your own handgun ammo! No tracer, armor piercing, steel core, buckshot, birdshot or cast ammunition is allowed. Rifle ammunition is available for purchase for personal firearm use on the range. External rifle caliber ammunition is unauthorized and will result in immediate dismissal from the range without refund. Safety concerns and costly repairs are caused by unauthorized rifle ammo being used on the range. Please do not bring pre-loaded rifle magazines as the ammunition will not be allowed. All rifle magazines are subject to inspection at the range counter. If you are unsure if the ammunition is authorized, feel free to ask a Range Associate. Competitive market pricing on rifle ammunition is available for purchase. All centerfire ammunition must be jacketed or semi-jacketed except slugs. Maximum rifle is 30 caliber (.308 and 7.62 are acceptable).

Is 7mm-08 rifle allowed? Just got one and need alittle practice with it. Its actually my first gun ever. Well, except that old 22 rifle. But cant hunt with that.

LockOnStratos CB | Nov 7, 2018
J R van Reekum | Nov 7, 2018

The range will allow anything .30 cal and under, so your 7mm should be ok. You will have to buy their rifle ammo, so best bet is to call and A) check availability of required ammo and B) verify they are indeed ok with a wildcard round.
