Freedom Armory Shooting Range

This range and store are great. Family run and they make you and family feel welcome and like family. I’ve been to lots of other indoor ranges. This is by far the best. Bright clean and safe. Lots of families with children were there today. Very knowledgable staff especially JIM and great selection of Guns. Also brought my family to several classes which were fantastic. I wanted my wife to be more comfortable around guns and instructor Chuck succeeded. Thank you for being there Freedom Armory!

I never held a gun before my Dec 29 class with Chuck. He was great at teaching safety and helped build confidence. One more time at the range and I am hitting targets (as good or better than the husband). Taking Handgun Basics class this weekend with Jim and really enjoying learning technique. Jeanette always remembers my name and staff are friendly and helpful. There is sometimes a wait at the counter (most gun shops have a wait) which I understand given their thoroughness with each customer. No trouble getting range time, and again, help is always available if you need it.

Here’s the deal, they charge twice as much for transfers, tack on additional Fees if it is on-​line vs face to face. There in store guns are price just below retail, so they are cheaper than big box store like cabellas and Dicks, but still priced more than your typical LGS, in some cases by several hundred dollars. As far as the range goes it is nice but they don’t like to run the fans unless you really push for it. It’s just as cold on the range as it is outside. I understand it being cold they don’t run the heat unless someone is there, but I feel that I might as well be out side at least then I can get fresh air while I shoot.

Two of my friends who are members took me to this shooting range to show me a part of America that I haven’t seen, and which, quite frankly, is very unique. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they are accustomed to busloads of tourists from around the world, so if you are (as I was) expecting to see a bunch of redneck owners, that’s not what you’ll find. The other customers I saw varied in age and colour (so it’s not a southern white thing, just in case you’re wondering).
They have a range that’s 50 yards for long range rifles (we had a 22 caliber rifle and we rented an AK-​47) and a shorter range where we used the MP 5 that we borrowed. Both the guns we borrowed were in great condition, worked well, but I didn’t pay for anything so I have no idea about the prices.
If you’re on the tourist circuit and are tired of the monuments, especially if you are from outside America, go here. It’s very unique… I certainly don’t think there are many places civilians can shoot some of these weapons. Call ahead about memberships, though. Everything was super easy for me because my friends are members but it might be a little more tricky for non-​members/​folks not going as guests of members.

My family lives pretty close to the Freedom Armory so when we are in the area for a visit, my husband and I will pick up ammo and other shooting supplies. I like to shoot my scoped Ruger ¹⁰⁄₂₂ and my husband mainly shoots his 9 mm and .357’s; they always have ammo in stock for both calibers and at a decent price. The store has a wide selection of rifles, handguns and accessories along with a friendly and helpful staff to help you find what you need. As a woman, I have had my fair share of poor experience with gun shops and their employees but not at FA. I highly recommend them to anyone in the area.
