Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to know anything about guns?

    You sure don’t! If you do, great. If you don’t, we’re here to help. Ask us anything!

  • Do I need to own a gun?

    You do not need to own a gun to shoot with us or take our training. We have a robust rental service, and we can guide you to what you need.


    We recommend first-timers to the range start with a .22 caliber handgun or rifle. These caliber firearms use the smallest available round, are quieter, and feature a MUCH lower recoil or kick than other caliber firearms.

  • I’m ready! What’s my first move?

    We can’t wait to meet you! Come in and see us at one of our four convenient locations.

  • What should I wear to the range?

    We recommend a button-up shirt or shirt with a high collar, long pants, closed-toe no-slip shoes (tennis shoes, boots, or flats), and a ball cap. Warning! Hot brass casings can fall in low cut or open back tops. 

  • What do I need to get started?

    1. Having your own shooting glasses means never having to borrowing someone's scratched pair.

    2. Get started with a standard pair of earmuffs, or upgrade your shooting experience with an electronic pair.

    3. Ammo and targets available for a great price.
