A place to shoot is a great range. I think the staff is great and willing to help with anything. I also really appreciate the fact that they take COVID-19 seriously. Julie is great and always cleans surfaces after people use them. Prices are fair. I mean most targets are .85 cents to 2 bucks. I bring ammo since 380 ammo is hard to get but 5 dollars a box is also fair. I recommend this range for anyone who is new or extremely experienced at shooting. New review 2024- I have been loving this range. The owner is great!!! They keep the range clean and prices are more than fair. With my membership I usually pay 25-35 dollars per visit. A few boxes of center-fire rds and 100 22lr. Best in Portland

IΓÇÖm in here with a friend almost every weekend. The facility is great. The staff is always friendly. If youΓÇÖre like me and canΓÇÖt get a dog or cat at the moment, you may be pretty stoked to say hi to an adorable sweet dog from time to time. They provide a nice clean and safe place to enjoy shooting. The prices are good. ThereΓÇÖs enough lanes to accommodate busy days. ItΓÇÖs easy to get there. The building is clearly marked and thereΓÇÖs more than enough parking. If you love or even just like shooting then you should love or even just like The place to Shoot.

Unfortunately, I have to give this facility one star and wish I could give zero. Where do I start? First, the pros: it's a really clean and organized range. Probably the cleanest I've ever shot at (and I've shot at many ranges over my 20+ years as a USMC Infantry Weapons Officer Ret., as an active LEO, and as an owner of a Firearms Training Company in SoCal). However, I question their cleanliness. Is it because no one shoots here due to their frivolous rules and fees? Or is it because the area is full of walking zombies high on fetty (fentanyl) waiting to window smash your vehicle? Either way, this is the only pro I gave this location. The cons: First, their non-member fees are $35 per person, and any additional person on the same lane is another whopping $35! Other ranges charge a full fee to the first shooter and add a reasonable fee for an additional shooter. Next, they charge $5 for every 50 rounds of ammo you fire. God help you if you're trying to work a skill to improve your performance on demand. My typical range sesh's are 200 to 400 rounds. Third, you have to purchase their own targets. I shoot USPSA competitive matches so I couldn't even use my USPSA targets. Lastly, this "Fudd" owned range doesn't even have proper "zero" targets to zero a red dot on a rifle or pistol. If you're going to be advertising CCW, basic, or advance shooting classes, get up with the times and know which targets and training is relevant. After realizing how much I was going to pay to zero my son's optic on his handgun that I installed, I ended up zeroing his pistol without him. He wasn't even allowed to be in the lane with me so he could at least watch and learn. They wanted to charge me $35 for him to watch. Needless to say, I will never have my child spend his hard-earned money on this dump. They are going against the grain with the 2A due to their rules and fees. Instead of shepherding shooters into this facility, they're pushing them away. It was evident to me when I saw two other shooters other than me while they had another twenty-something lanes not being used. This range must be an undercover liber@l-ran range to keep gun owners away with their ridiculous fees and rules. If you're a supporter of gun rights, 2A, conservative shooter, don't support this place. And to top it off, their AC doesn't work! Worst range I've ever had to spend my money on.

I had a lesson w/Larry today, a very skilled superb trainer. Small class size compared to SureFire in Vancouver. Class size matters! A Place to Shoot will get my repeat business. Friendly, professional staff were so helpful & informative. I'll be joining as a member!

An excellent place for the new shooter to get professional instruction in a comfortable, convenient, and safe environment. I have been a shooter for 60 plus years and took my 17 year-old Neice and her boyfriend for their first experience with firearms. We all had a lot of fun and learned how to how to handle guns safely!
