By far the cleanest and nicest indoor shooting ranges I’ve been to in the area and I’ve been to them all.
The staff is very friendly and engaging. No doubt we’ll be back many more times in the coming months. We are planning on purchasing a membership and taking some classes.
I’ve found EVERYONE there incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Particularly, I would like to single-out Dan, whose graciously shared advice undoubtedly has and will continue to make me a better shooter.
This range has a friendly, non-intimidating atmosphere and is welcoming to those with all levels of experience (I brought my son here for his first time shooting).
On the sales end, Survival Trail has everything I’ve needed, and the staff’s expertise and knowledge of every product they carry is complete.
Prices are very reasonable and congruent with other ranges in this area. I give Survival Trail my highest recommendation. If you are looking for a gun shop/range…I highly suggest you visit…I am sure you will be happy you did.
The site is ran very professionally with it's image and layout to match. I would highly recommend a visit whether you are an experienced shooter or as a complete newbie.
Next time I'm in the US I'll definitely be paying you guys another visit.
P.s. and they say Brits don't know how to use guns.....😜
