Vandalia Range & Armory

Range safety’s are wonderful. Very helpful with instructing wife. Provide good tips for me as well

I have been there 4 times. No customer service. Ladies behind counter look like bored .no hello how are u? No thank u. here is ur gun, go dont bother me

Wish I could change my rating, to NO stars. They talked my GF into two different optic set ups she didnt care for. The second time we went in, we told them,“Weve looked around, and THIS is the scope she wants.”. Was told, «Noo, you dont want THAT, What are you going to use it for. You want this. Im an expert.». Well, she had a 3X set up, that she was unsure of, but told that it was «the set up everyone wanted», she couldnt see with. He insisted that this Viper PST 1 – 4 would make a difference (We wanted a 3 – 9). AND talked her into the $ 189 Vortex Mount. While being RUDE to ME (totally ignored) and made out like I didnt know what the hell I was talking about (Though I TOLD him when we first walked in, «THIS is what we want.»). She shot it twice, and didnt like it. We ended up going to another place, and bought her the scope she wanted to begin with. Shes cut her groups down HALF now. Called them to ask about returning the scope, and they refuse. NOW, I have a $ 700 set up, that we didnt want to BEGIN WITH, that Im going to have to take a BIG hit, to sell used. Definitely believe the sales guys work off commission.. Ohh, and them charging us $ 36 an HOUR to use the rifle range? Yeahh.RIDICULOUS. Bought a year pass at a nicer outdoor range, for $ 25 a piece, for a YEAR. Ill spend the extra money on warmer clothes and stay outdoors. My advice? DO NOT use this shop. Theyll talk you into stuff you DONT WANT OR NEED. HIGHLY advise women to avoid at all costs.

Great place to deal with!
I’ve purchased and sold guns here.
I’ve shot at the pistol range and great.
They’re always busy on the weekend.
So go during the week if you don’t want to wait an extended time.

First timer to this range. Did my research for local ranges from Miamisburg and found several. This was the establishment I choose. I read the reviews and thought is give it a shot. I was just in to make a good time on my day off
The facility is very nice in my opinion. Looks like a large handgun range and the high power range was decent too
I myself choose to use a high power rifle. The process from walking in the door was about 10 – 15 minutes till I picked out my gun and was headed for my assigned lane.
I was escorted to the basement range and was meted by the range overseer. He was nice told you the rules and answered any questions you had
The digital hit display was a great added touch. Although I think the location of them is a bit off as it makes you stop pull back and then re adjust. If it was closer over in the fire box you wouldn’t have to readjust your whole body setup. The high wall was ok but made it hard to stand or lean cause your feet can’t go any farther forward
The gun selection was nice although the optics are adjustable your not allowed to touch them as they are setup for what ever reason they have them set so your manually moving yourself to adjust
Now my only problems with this place
There isn’t a starting point people stand in line to find out they have to fill out the waivers which isn’t at the counter. Then they fill them out and get back in the same line for the rental
The girls working the rental counter aren’t really nice or personable. They ring you up throw down the receipt and next. Not a thanks or we appreciate your business. All money in my opinion.
The other thing I’m not liking is you prepay for everything. Lane rental $ 18 an hour gun rental (don’t remember) and ammo (varies) So if you are done shooting the gun of your choice you have to go back up to the counter you have to re choose a gun the have to re-​ring up the gun change fee $ 10 (which I’m not a fan of if I’m already paying for the lane rental what makes a difference if I change guns your charging me for the rental) then the new gun rental and the new ammo. 2 charges just to shoot at this point
If assume this is costing the company on every swipe of the card. Why not setup the lane track the rentals and Ammo and ring up when your done shooting. I feel if you keep the tab open your customers won’t feel when there out of ammo there done. Just like the bar you order another drink and the night keeps going. Just my thought

I really dig this place. I primarily use VRA for its range. Employees and service here are top notch. They are friendly, helpful, and always willing to lend a hand or insight to shooter looking to take their technique to the next level. Though I haven’t purchased a firearm here, I wouldn’t hesitate if the price was right. There knowledge and expertise seems top notch. I wish they had a better selection on ammo… that’s my only critique.

Me, my friends, and collegues have been purchasing firearms, equipment, and utilizing VRA’s range for almost 7 years now. As a first responder I can tell you their job knowledge is above par and their commitment to safety on the range is extremely impressive. I would recommend VRA to anyone looking for a large selection, professional staff, and state of the art handgun and rifle range.

Thank you VRA! I do not feel all your staff is this way only those in there 20’s early 30’s. It’s not easy teaching this younger generation good P. R skills. These staff members must understand that there are folks out here who know alot about firearms. I think these young staff members just need to take a step back and listen to the customer, instead of just saying well «you know it all why should I be helping you «then just walk away from a potential sale. I have not been back to VRA in over a year and I know several other like minded folks who feel the same way, I am willing to give it another shot just to see if the customer service is any better. Again Thank you for your reply.
