The Marksman

"I've been going to The Marksman for years and have never had any hesitation in strongly recommending the range to anyone with pistol shooting needs. Their pricing is competitive, they have gun rentals and their staff is second to none. Another word on staff at The Marksman: I have had the pleasure and privilege of getting to know The Marksman's staff, Steve (Esteban), Gary, Brad, Sherry, Dillon, etc. They're highly knowledgeable, customer centric and maintain a strong bias for Safety. They all represent the range quite well. They're a couple of places that I can shoot but I always gravitate back to The Marksman because of their excellent staff. Great job, Everyone! 5 Star Rating all day long today and everyday, well done!!"

"Pretty ridiculous that I'm a legal gun owner and a member of the military but can't use the shooting range because I'm under 21. This policy makes no sense at all, and the reasoning they give on the website is also incredibly stupid. They say you need to bring someone who is 21 with you so they can take liability for you. Read the law, 18 year olds are liable for themselves."

"The Marksman is the only range in my area and that is so disappointing because all of the people there are absolute sticks in the mud who will hand wave away your concerns and make sure you have zero fun. Zero rapid fire on the range. So you're limited to training for form, grouping, and sighting in only. Want to empty the mag of overpriced ammo you bought there? Too bad, Little Timmy put a 9mm into the wall once because there was no RSO (Range Safety Officer) inside the range at the time and they shut it all down. No intermediate caliber rifles of any sort. When asked why I've been told 3 different things 1. The range was built for pistols only, so rifles will blow through the back stop. Which if true, means I'd be scared of shooting anything more hefty than a .45 ACP. 2. The ventilation system was overwhelmed by the amount of gas ARs put out and they were getting bad reviews about it. (This I could believe cause even with a pistol alone your mouth will taste of gunpowder for a day after your visit.) 3. They had to order special frangible ammunition meant for this type of range that is (apparently) very hard to get. When asked, they cannot provide a name for this ammo. I offered to bring my own Mead ammo, meant SPECIFICALLY for this kind of situation, and was told, "Nope. Can't be sure." This whole facility is run by old people who dislike modern firearms and think the 1911 is the greatest weapon bestowed apon man by the God John Moses Browning, and wooden grips give you +10 to accuracy. They either can't, or won't, upgrade their facilities to meet or match the modern shooters needs. They will look at you like you're stupid if you provide any data to disprove their oldworld, outdated, "I read it in a magazine once" way of thinking. Go anywhere else if you want to do anything other then the bare minimum of what your firearm is capable of and have fun."

"Went there earlier this week for the first time & they treated us pretty good. Explained the range rules & did everything properly. the targets they sell are priced great imo. Had a good time shooting & will definitely return soon!"
