R. Farrell - Danville, Virginia
"First-class operation. Very impressive, great staff. If you are, or want to be, a pistol shooter - check this place out!"
C. Gooch - Mebane, North Carolina
"Great people! They make you feel welcome as soon as you drive up. Nothing but smiles. My wife and I have been looking for a range for over a year now and I can't believed we were lucky enough to find this one."
T. Haynes - Roxboro, North Carolina
"Look no further than here for a gun range! Great time, ALL the time. My wife and I have been going here for over a year and a half, and they know safety and will teach you and answer any questions you have. So, whether you're a beginner or a long time gun enthusiast, if you're looking for a gun range with a home-style feel but still be covered from the elements (heat, rain, or cold) you have to come here FIRST!"
