SharpShooter

Stopped by for a PPT per request of the other party and that was a huge mistake! Minimal customer service probably due to minimal fee from a PPT transaction, which is completely understandable; but there’s no need for giving customers bad attitude especially the older gentleman who would love to talk and extremely opinionated (even no one was talking to him). ‘a bit unorganized and forgetful not returning customers’ DL/​documents. «Cheap-​shot» as they tried to make customers buy their cheap lock for cut throat price even the original manufacture branded OEM lock was included. ‘Much rather endure wait time at Turners around the corner for dignified minimal service there than return to this place. ‘Did not have a chance to check out the indoor range; ‘did not want to after the experience with the staffs at the front counter. This is for sure a one time stop with no return! The second star is for no wait time.

First time coming here 1÷22÷2016. The Old guy in the counter was rude and unproffessional. I will never go here again.

If you’re looking for a place to dump ammo and money, I suggest you look elsewhere. With malfunctioning target equipment, unreasonably overpriced ammunition and a curt and unfriendly staff who apparently find it acceptable to purposefully and publicly degrade paying customers with rude names — simply for trying to retrieve the tow line that fell down range without getting shot by other patrons– this shooting range has it all in the «do not give us money» department. If you’re a gun owner in the south bay area, do not waste your time at this establishment. If I could give negative stars I would. There is no excuse for this level of poor service and unsafe shooting conditions.

Range is close to the south LA residents. Convenient.

I hadn’t been to Sharpshooter in a long time but wanted to try out one of their rental guns.
The guy behind the counter was way less than friendly and offered no information or advise regarding the rental guns I was looking at. The ranges are a mess with bent wire and clips to hold the targets and do not hold steady. Do not think I will ever be back!

Cool comfortable place. Staff is supercool and friendly.
I recommend to anyone in the area!

Just called to ask about rentals. I asked him about the two person limit and asked about why that was. His answer «cuz…» After waiting think he was going to say more I asked «because what?»…his response“because I’m tired of dragging dead guys out”…really makes we wanna bring my business there. Buying my new handgun and shooting somewhere else.

Nice little range, was able to shoot here while on vacation. Simple and has all the essentials to get your fix. They have rentals available, and the guys behind the counter were fairly receptive to this out of town visitor. In all I was pleased to finally find a range close enough to where I didn’t have to drive halfway back home.

I’ve been here a while back with a buddy we used to come here a few times. This time came here with my old college buddies they are all into guns and stuff so i was able to shoot most of their guns. We took two lanes back in the day i remember the target holder was really good, but now its a wire with binder clips which of course will get hit by bullets and break off they have a bin in the store with extra clips so i guess we should have grabbed some since we shot off about 2 of them and just took the clips off another unused lane lol. It can be costly if you need targets, bullets, glasses and ear guards luckily my friends had extra of all so i was able to use them. It was a fun time. I’d go back. Parking is small maybe about 10 cars in the lot but you can park on the street as well.

Good experience took my own equipment only paid $ 36 for three of us, good customer service

Has everything you need! Lanes were adequate. The staff was helpful too. Ammo was expensive, $ 80 here instead of $ 60 at smoking barrel in Simi Valley. Needs some love, like new carpet and paint.

I like this place mainly because It’s very close to me. The range is stuffy and hot, and half the time they multiple lanes not working so you have to manually pull the rope to get your targets out. The place is also a little irresponsible as I recently went there on a Monday at 12pm and no employees had shown up to open the range. (Their hours say Mon-​Sun 11am-​8pm)

Pretty sure they over charged me on my credit card, dude working behind the register was a grumpy grouch man. Not friendly. I was desperate to shoot so I dealt with the bs. Some of the machines that hold the targets were broken. If none of that matters to you check this place out.

I’d like to give a huge thank you to «the owner» who gave the worlds greatest customer service. I wanted to bring my family from New Zealand here to the range And as I asked him a few questions he would answer everything sarcastically. Never a direct yes or no on anything I asked. His website says they close at 8 and I told him I would be there in a few minutes which would be 7 in which he replied, «you can’t come we’re closing». I told him the website says 8 and he replies, «well I’m the owner and we’re closing now». Customer service is everything when it comes to business! Thanks for being a jerk.

Great place to come shoot. Not a bad price easy to deal with and not to crowded. Staff was nice too don’t know what everyone was talking about them being rude. Nice place, sweep your brass and have a good time!
Good place to teach your lady to shoot!

******I am editing my review ******
I would like to say that after my review I was contacted by the owner who was apologetic for what had transpired. He showed such respect for me and my family. He assured me that would never happen again. I feel completely comfortable to go back to Sharp Shooters. For an owner to contact me shows such a high regard for himself as an business man with integrity, ethics, customer care, and sincere compassion. He has offered his sincere apologies and comp us free range shooting. We, as a family appreciate that he reached out and the apology was clearly more then enough. He has gone beyond. He shows high customer safety and satisfaction. Thank you again!
Place is a little run down. However, you go to shoot and that’s always great. We needed more 12 gauge shells and when we asked to buy some the guy said «well we only sell a particular kind» oh ok well can I buy that «uumm no we ran out». Ok then. Oh also LADIES do not put down your real phone number when signing in… why you ask? Because you will get a call from the staff asking if you wanna go out. Yep. Apparently some guys who work there think the sign in sheet is their pick of a dating site. Staff seems to also not really pay attention. Kinda jumbled around.
So remember bring extra 12 Gauge shells, fake number, and don’t depend too much on a serious helpful staff. Three stars because… hey you can shoot!

Employees here are rude, and are clearly irritated with customers they deem to be idiots simply for having questions. I see that some Unilocalers here don’t understand why jerk employees are an issue. It’s just a place to shoot, they say. Yeah, but a Starbucks often requires less employee/​customer interaction, yet most of us still expect to be treated with a certain level of dignity there.
More importantly, unwelcoming attitudes can easily discourage less experienced shooters from asking important questions, which can translate to safety problems on the firing line. There is one old guy in particular who seems to have only one job… To sit on a stool at the cash register and be a nasty old fart to customers who require any help other than giving him their money. Don’t anyone dare make him stand up from that stool. He will make you feel like an idiot for somehow not knowing what their procedures are.
Sharpshooter has definitely seen better days. The place is in disrepair. The lanes need a lot of attention. Some of them have target systems that no longer move, and the target holders are in such bad shape that they’re using coat hangers to hang the paper targets.
All this is really too bad because this is the closest range to me, but with all their issues, I’d rather drive somewhere else to shoot in a much safer environment.

Overview: This review is based on their safety class I took and not the store/​range in general.
I was here on Saturday for the NRA First Steps Pistol Training (via
) with my sibling because my parents paid for the class and wanted me to learn how to handle a gun safely. And to be honest, I have no idea what to expect while I was here (although I read the website for the agenda). My nervousness was off the charts and my parents being embarrassing just made it worse for me and I totally didn’t want to be here. But to my surprise, the instructors here are really awesome! All of the instructors are really friendly, nice, approachable and knowledgeable. It was really a confidence booster! I really liked how they made the class «fun» while promoting 110% safety and seriousness at all times during the hands-​on practice, exercises, and lecture.
For the cost of this lesson, I think it was totally worth it and really happy I went. You’ll receive handbooks and pamphlets to bring home and they will supply you with a pistol and live rounds if you did not bring one.
I really learned A LOT here and I look forward to taking classes on the future and I highly recommend this to other people who are interested. I had a TON of fun, really!
I highly suggest bringing your own bottle of water and a small snack to eat during break because you will get hungry/​thirsty during the five hour lesson. They do also have soda/​snack vending machines if you want to go that route.
The only gripes I had with this place and unfortunately have to take out half a star was that the toilet in the mens restroom (and for only one person) was a bit dirty and probably not a good one to «sit on». Just saying!

I’ve never been to other shooting range so I can’t compare. But Sharp Shooter is pretty straight forward. You come in, sign in, pay, pick the lane available, shoot, do your thing, no one bothers you, be safe and clean up after yourself. It’s $ 16 for the first shooter, then $ 8 per person on the same lane. I think you get a discount if you are in law enforcement. Not sure though.
3 people with their own guns and 2 packs of ammo, ear and eye protector rental came out to be $ 80. I know it’s pricey, but you can spend a good 2 – 3 hours shooting. You can also rent guns if you don’t have one or even ask for a gun instructor and of course that’s additional cost.
The guys that work here are cool. They are not the friendliest, but they are nice and would joke around once in awhile. They know their stuff and El Hubby always talk guns with them ^_​^.
My tip is don’t pick a lane next to people who look unsafe. I’ve seen people so unsafe things like taking a selfie with their loaded gun, unintentionally pointing at their friend with a loaded gun (I say unintentional because it looked like they don’t realize it) and stuff like that. Wish they have staff watching over people, but then again I don’t know if they do that at other shooting range. We either pick the lane on the far right or far left away from people.
Oh and it’s also interesting to see so many random bullet holes all over the walls and ceilings. Its a lot!

Good, very simple place to shoot, but isn’t that pretty much the point?
I started going to this range as someone who already knows how to shoot. My first day I went in, paid, and got to pick my own lane, very simple. I got to shoot and got what I paid for.
I normally only go Thursdays or Fridays, and I usually see light facial hair guy and an older gentlemen. Both are very kind and helpful. Not snobby at all, and didn’t give the impression of being «know it all’s» like the guys who like to show off at other ranges. You just sign in, they ask if you need ears, eyes, or any ammo, you pay, you get your target and you go shoot. I love that you get a target for free, that’s something you don’t really see.
The range is not very pretty, but it serves its purpose. I hope that business kicks up for them so that they can afford to remodel a bit.
It’s a very lax range as someone mentioned before. However I did encounter some idiots shooting one handed and sideways and I kind of wish someone would have stepped in.
Overall this range is so freakin’ close to me its unbelievable. I don’t have to drive to Orange County anymore. Good range to practice shooting, not crowded on the days that I go, nice staff (that I’ve met), and serves its purpose. I will be a regular as long as I can afford it. (lol)
