Blue Trail Range Gun Store

Place needs a serious upgrade. The food area needs covers over lights. The office needs to be upgraded. I hate everything about this place and the workers are miserable. The only sunshine there is Brittany in the food area. She is the absolute nicest person ever. The rest of you people need to smile and be appreciative for the money we spend there. Junior rifle program is way too expensive and around the holidays you loose a lot of time from the Saturday classes. Waste of money

Good prices at the shop, Matt was super helpful, range is a LOT of fun.

I should qualify this review by saying that I went to Blue Trail during a torrential downpour. It was also a weekday afternoon. I believe these two conditions factored heavily into my experience there, and your mileage will almost certainly vary.
The road that Blue Trail is on floods easily. If it’s raining heavily, and you don’t drive some sort of SUV or truck, you might consider going on a different day.
Given the weather, I did not use the outdoor range facilities.
The indoor range is for .22 caliber only. I bought some reasonably-​priced paper targets from the adjacent gun shop. Weekdays are $ 19 for unlimited range time, but I understand that weekends are a bit pricier because you pay by the hour. Overall, the indoor range is acceptable, but far from ideal. It was a comfortable temperature, and mostly clean, but had the look of a place that has gone many decades without renovation. My biggest problem was that it’s generally not well lit. Target distance is fifty feet, with no numbered incremental markings, and no target lighting anywhere except at the full distance (a major disappointment for anyone using a semi-​automatic pistol as opposed to a rifle). The target movement controls are old-​school, manual hand crank. However, they are easy to operate and appear to have been well maintained. There’s no shelving, benches or tables of any kind, which would have been a considerable inconvenience if I wasn’t the only shooter there. Finally, the rightmost lanes were quickly starting to flood near the end of my session. The building apparently has some leakage problems.
The staff didn’t make any particular impression on me, good or bad. While they weren’t rude, they weren’t ostensibly helpful either. They served their purpose, and answered my questions curtly but informatively. As an aside, I was told to always call ahead on weekdays, because they frequently have scheduled events going on and the range may not be available.
I would visit Blue Trail again, mainly because it’s a mere five miles from my residence. The convenience factor outweighs the negative aspects I’ve mentioned. But my recent experiences at other local shooting ranges have left me a bit spoiled, I suppose. I think Blue Trail needs to make some changes and improvements if they are to remain competitive.
I did not purchase any food at Blue Trail, so I cannot comment on their cafeteria.
