One of the best indoor ranges I've been to. Polite staff and has a good variety for first- timers. Will definitely visit again.

Great range! Not gonna find a better indoor range anywhere close to Corolla beach. Rachelle was very nice and helped me with getting a range picked and purchasing some eye pro/ targets. No one was there shooting so I had the 25 yd range to myself. No complaints.

EXTREMELY OVERPRICED ON EVERYTHING. Save yourself time and just pass the place.

Of course I have the Uh Oh story… (2023) so I left my hand gun in the top shelf of a bedroom closet in our beach rental house (to keep away from the kids). We checked out and about an hour into the drive home my heart sunk into the seat of the truck. I realized I forgot my gun in the closet… called the sheriff’s office to retrieve to gun for me and had Gun Shack pick it up with the proper forms and release paperwork to get it back to me. They walked me through the whole process on how and what we needed to do. Customer service 100% Thank you guys 💪🏼🧡🙏🏼

Great spot for some quick pew, pew fun. Would have been nice to have a space to put your stuff vs a small bench. 7 lanes. Decent price... enough ammo to go around.

I didnΓÇÖt even think to look up here for the hours, but youΓÇÖd think theyΓÇÖd tell you their hours when you called to ask if the gun range was open. I called less than an hour before they closed and the lady told me that the gun range was open. She failed to mention that we wouldnΓÇÖt even get an hours worth of range time by the time we got there. We had a little bit of a drive and got there at 330. ThatΓÇÖs when the lady advised us that the range closes at 345. Not a good first time experience.

Failed to meet expectations on many levels. Too much to cover in this review, but here's a summary; I called this business on Thursday, 16-Feb-2023 to confirm services & costs for my group of four. Was informed there would be a $20 lane fee + $10 for the 2nd person (sharing the lane). I specifically asked if that was for the day, or by the hour. I was informed that it was for the day if the range was empty, but if all seven lanes were in use, they reserved the right to limit us to 1-hour max. Sounded fair to me. The person informed us that Friday at 12:noon is not normally a busy time for them, so it shouldn't be a problem. I also asked if they had .22 calibre rifles & handguns, which they informed me they had. I also asked if the eye & ear protection would be provided free of charge, and the answer was "yes". We arrived on Friday, 17-Feb-2023 around noon as planned. Although there was only one (1) lane in use when we arrived, they wanted to assign all four of us to one lane. Why, I have no idea. I asked for two lanes (2 people on each). We were subsequently assigned lanes # 6 & #7. The target retrieval system on lane #6 was broken, so we had to retrieve targets by hand (pulling on the cable). I don't know why they didn't offer us any of the other four (4) shooting lanes to use (1 thru 4), as they were not in use by anyone else. Just one other person in lane #5. When I asked which rifles they had in .22 for us to use, the answer was none. Why they would tell us that they had .22 rifles available when I called the day before? ..I have no idea. So, I asked for two (2) .22 calibre handguns, but learned that they only had one (1) .22 calibre Glock 44 pistol. Just one!! No other pistols or revolvers chambered in .22 cal where available for 1st time shooters to utilize. (Ridiculous). I have never attended any public range that only stocks one (1) .22 calibre handgun in their inventory for customer rental / use. So, we rented the Glock 44 (.22 cal) and a Glock 17 (9mm). After about 50-minutes and 200 rounds of .22 cal, I went to purchase more ammo to continue shooting with my daughter, but I was informed that we only had 10-minutes left on our range time. The place was empty. I was going to ask the employee why they were invoking the 1-hour rule on me when the range was completely empty (contrary to what I was told over the phone 24-hours earlier), but I was so disappointed by the overall experience at this point, I decided not to purchase additional ammo from them, and we left. The ventilation system in this place also has a lot to be desired. If you stand in lane #7 the fan will part your hair on the back of your head (wonderful), but if you stand in lane #6, the gun smoke blows directly back into the shooters face (horrible). Even from the .22 cal Glock, I could see the gun smoke blowing directly back into my daughters face while she was shooting it. When I called the Gun Shack on the Thursday (yesterday), I specifically asked if the use of eye & ear protection was free, and I was told it was. As I type this review, I am looking at the sales receipt I was given, and just discovered that there was a 2 x $2.00 charge for the eye & ear protection we were issued. Even though I verbally confirmed with the staff that there was no charge for the PPE upon my arrival there today, it was charged. Basically, half of the information that was communicated to me over the phone 24-hours prior to my visit proved to be false. Specifically; * It is $20 per hour to use this range. You do NOT get to shoot beyond 1-hour for free if the range is empty. * Use of eye & ear protection is not free. It's $2.00. * They do not have any .22 calibre rifles for rental use. * They only have one (1) .22 calibre Glock 44 for rental use. * They do not have any .22 calibre revolvers for rental use. I did not arrive or leave the Gun Shack with the feeling that this was a friendly or welcoming venue that appreciated our business in anyway. Not a good choice if you're a tourist.

I came here after hearing several people say that this was the place in the area to go to I must say I was very disappointed. First off, it took at least 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged (a group of 4), when there was only one couple in there chatting with the sales person. Just chatting, nothing else. But looking at the sparse selection in there, some prices were good, but about half of the prices were at least 10-20% more than what I see elsewhere.
