Boston Gun & Rifle Academy

Our instructor was Jesus! Super recommended! And the quality of the guns at this range is pretty good, or at least better than any I've been to! Had a nice couples experience, at least it made me and my girlfriend feel pretty relaxed!

Jesus is an amazing instructor. Recommended 100%!! You will get to experience a variety of different kinds and will totally enjoy it. Parking advices were provided when you make the appointment, process was smooth and efficient. Will definitely come back for another “kitchen competition”.😃😃

Jesus was an extremely "disarming," entertaining, and sharp instructor. I walked out with a much better understanding of guns/rifles, increased confidence in my skills, and a nuanced appreciation for this sport.

Visiting from the UK and none of us never handled a gun, let alone fired one before. Our instructor Claire was very knowledgeable, funny and made the experience fun! Worth every cent and definitely would do it again when next visiting Boston! Highly recommended!

I brought my girlfriend here and our instructor was Lucas. Neither of us had ever shot a gun before, and Lucas was incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this place, staff is super nice and the lesson is really great value for the price.

What a great experience! IΓÇÖve never handled a gun before and the instructor Dan was amazing! We used 7 different firearms and he was excellent in not only showing us how to handle them but the features and differences in each. He was personable, professional and encouraging. It was like spending time with a good friend who was teaching us a new skill, respect for the power we held in our hands and an appreciation for how important responsibility is a key factor in gun ownership. I recommend that everybody sign up for a session if, for no other reason, to have the experience!

Highly recommend going and being exposed to shooting at this Academy, all of the instructors, especially Jesus, Lucas, and Larry take an amazing safety and education first approach to handling firearms while keeping it extremely fun. I am from Florida and havnt had this much fun shooting. What are you waiting for?

IΓÇÖm not sure what I was expecting from a gun range, but it certainly wasnΓÇÖt this! From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly, making us feel welcome and even joking around with us right away. I felt completely safe throughout the entire process, and the staff took the time to answer all of my questions. As someone who is visually impaired, I was especially impressed by Larry, who went above and beyond. Before I even arrived, he had done research on how to assist visually impaired individuals at the range. I canΓÇÖt say enough great things about himΓÇöhe was patient, encouraging, and incredibly helpful. Thanks to Larry, I even hit the bullΓÇÖs-eye a couple of times! Although I didnΓÇÖt work with them personally, Jesus and Luke were also amazing, and my friends had nothing but great things to say about them. Overall, we had such a fun time, and I would highly recommend this experience to anyoneΓÇöwhether youΓÇÖre curious about trying it out or have never considered it before. It was such a unique and enjoyable experience, and I canΓÇÖt wait to come back!

The instructors are very friendly! Just beware within 24 hours before your appointment, they will send you a message to confirm your appointment and if they donΓÇÖt hear from you within 2-3 hours your appointment may be cancelled so I almost didnΓÇÖt respond in time but luckily I did and they give very specific instructions on where to park and such. Our instructor was Jesus and he was absolutely wonderful and hilarious! When I want to shoot again will definitely come to this place and would recommend to others as well.

This place is great! We loved our instructor Larry and will definitely book with him if possible when we go back. This is a little gem of a spot in Dorchester. We went on Saturday afternoon - it was simple to book, place was easy to find, and there was plenty street parking. All communications are done via text and their response times are very quick. Our instructor sat us through a thorough safety course and then they copy your IDs, collect payment, and give you safety gear before going into the range. There were a good amount of stalls for the afternoon crowd. I would say to dress comfortable and bring a sweater in case you tend to get cold like me. Overall the place is pretty clean and well-kept. Once we got inside, we got to fire 6 different types of guns and it was such a fun time! We shot at paper targets and also a variety of ones on the floor so it was a nice change of pace for practice. Larry was so knowledgeable, personable, and had great stories to share. He was really helpful, encouraging, and patient through each round. He really took his time to familiarize us with each piece of equipment. Most importantly he prioritized safety- especially when it came to handling the guns unloaded and knowing how to turn off safety, etc. He was an awesome teacher and made it such an enjoyable experience. At $120 for 75 minutes, it was a worthwhile lesson. WeΓÇÖll definitely be back!

Great experience. Beginners from the UK so we had 6 different guns/rifles over roughly an hour. Everything from glock pistols, police issue revolvers, bolt action rifle (our favourite) and AR 15. Mark the mad Irishman looked after us really well and we had a really good time I definitely recommend when in Boston !

Mark is the GOAT! It was such an exciting experience! We are visitors from Germany and it was no problem to book a shooting-session with an instructor (Mark) - even on very short notice. In the beginning we had a little safety training and were given safety equipment and then went on to the shooting range. We had 6 different types of guns and felt super secure during the whole experience. Mark explained the handling of each weapon thoroughly beforehand and created a both super fun but also professional atmosphere. In the end my husband and I even had a little competition to see who can aim better. We definitely recommend this place, I would certainly go there again! Thank you so much for this very american experience.

If youΓÇÖre new to firearms or have just gotten your new LTC, I would highly recommend going here to learn the responsibility and fun of using firearms. Larry was the best instructor that we could have asked for. My father and I signed up for the Public Range Session and he mentored and engaged us in great detail on firearm handling, aiming, and general best practices. We had a great time trying out 6 different firearms, each with its own unique history and handling. WeΓÇÖll definitely be back in the future. Pretty easy to park on the street on a Saturday morning. Very easy to find the place with their detailed directions. Very clean interior and friendly people.

Une expérience inoubliable ! Je tiens à partager mon avis sur ce stand de tir où j'ai passé un moment absolument génial. L'une des grandes surprises de cette expérience a été notre instructrice française. Non seulement elle était adorable, mais elle s'est aussi montrée extrêmement professionnelle et pédagogue. Dès le début, elle a su nous mettre à l'aise, que ce soit pour les novices ou les plus expérimentés. Ses explications étaient claires, précises, et elle a toujours insisté sur les règles de sécurité, ce qui m'a vraiment rassuré. Elle a également pris le temps de nous conseiller sur les différentes armes disponibles et de s'assurer que chacun profite au maximum de l'expérience. En plus de l'aspect technique, elle a rendu l’expérience conviviale et fun, avec quelques anecdotes qui ont bien détendu l’atmosphère. Tester différentes armes, sous la supervision d’une instructrice aussi compétente, a rendu cette sortie encore plus mémorable. Je recommande vivement ce stand de tir, que vous soyez débutant ou passionné. Si vous avez la chance d’avoir cette instructrice, vous serez entre de très bonnes mains. Une expérience unique à vivre au moins une fois ! 🔫👏 Un grand merci à toute l'équipe et surtout à elle pour cette journée parfaite ! 😊

Coming from the UK this was an excellent experience. Larry was our instructor and added to the experience sharing his knowledge and parts of his career. CouldnΓÇÖt have asked for a better guy. Would highly recommend. Very fun and insightful about handling firearms safely.

I came in to do a live-fire session for my LTC application. It was my first time at a range and it was great. Luke was my instructor and he was super patient and very informative and knowledgeable. I was nervous going in, but they could not have been more welcoming. Both Pat (owner I believe) and Luke were very friendly and I left, not only with my completed live- fire certification but with the confidence to come back in the future. Thank you! I appreciate everything!
