Great venue, wonderful staff, lots to do, make sure to visit their website and get your reservation done before you plan on going. Between shooting, you have lots of activities to do like axe throwing, corn hole, table games, and snacks are included in the price. Drinks are extra, and there is no alcohol at the venue. Good value for what you spend.

This is one of the most fantastic venues for just pure fun that I have ever been to. The family that owns the business is extremely dedicated to not only making you feel at home, but is genuinely invested to giving every guest a personalized experience that makes them feel like they are part of their family!

Visited last Friday with my parents and had a terrific time. Purchased this activity for my dad as a Christmas gift- everything was so much fun!! The safety managers made sure that everyone was following rules, especially careful of us newbies. My dad and I shot, not successfully, but we tried 🤣. My mom was able to hang out as a spectator and had a great time as well. It was a great weekend, and we are already planning a return trip with more friends and family.

Trevor Daniel and his wife were great hosts! We wanted to try something new on Friday night and came here. The whole experience was awesome. I had never shot a gun before, so inexperience isnΓÇÖt an issue. Everything was explained in great detail and the staff was very attentive providing tips and tricks. They have axe throwing and games and heaters available on a beautifully lit deck. My boyfriend and I had a great experience and would definitely recommend to anyone!

Came here to celebrate a friendΓÇÖs birthday and our group had a blast (no pun intended). This was my first time ever handling a firearm but our hosts did a great job of teaching us everything we needed to know to shoot successfully. I actually had Chase who works there join me in my bay to shoot and he was very helpful in giving me tips on how to shoot more accurately. The axe throwing was also nice too. Overall had a great time and the hosts are super chill, IΓÇÖd totally have a beer with them sometime.

Had a blast with Trevor. Shooting was a lot of fun in the dark with a large party of 10! Instructions were easy to understand and a couple of the guys walked around and helped us improve our technique - by the end of the night almost all of us were much more consistent. It can be a bit expensive but fully worth the cost for a great experience!

I went with a group of friends some new to shooting guns in general and some with little experience, Deck was nice and staff very was helpful, from making sure everyone is safe to giving tips for beginners. it was freezing but the staff did the best they could to make it warm. You can see the clays clearly and the traps are set up at great angles. Will def come def come back when itΓÇÖs warm

This is a great spot for some fun. Family owned and operated! The owners were a blast to be around and give a great hospitality environment. Trevor and (the cool) Trevor were awesome and very helpful. They make it seem like we have known each other for years. Go support this family and their business, you wonΓÇÖt be disappointed! We will be back soon.
