I recently had a private lesson with Dan and it was amazing!! I took a concealed weapon course because I am a beginner and Dan's approach was professional and very informative. We then went to the range and continued the lesson. Dan spent an hour and a half with me and I felt very confident at the end of the lesson. I am definitely scheduling another lesson with Dan!! The facility was fantastic and everyone was helpful ! I can't wait for my next lesson !

I took my first ever shooting class with Shannon and was really impressed. The entire Target World staff is very nice and accommodating. If you are looking to have a personal training session I would highly recommend Shannon. I felt that I took away a lot of really good information and things for me to work on. I have already booked another session and am looking forward to continuing building on what I have already learned.

Just completed the gun cleaning course. Very informative. Kevin did a great job with the class, walking around and including everyone. It’s my first experience with Target World. I highly recommend the course and will be back soon the try out the range!

Overall a good range with a digital target holder system. The staff are friendly and informative and I'm very glad they do the initial checklist and safety verification using a mock handgun and a test target to ensure you know handgun safety before entering the range. Pricing is reasonable.

I sent my wife and 2 sons (ages 18 and 14) to Target world for an entry level handgun class on Friday of Thanksgiving weekend. I spoke to Pat who was an absolute pleasure to work with. Initially Pat told me they were booked but she would reach out to a few instructors to see if they would accomodate our last minute request. Within an hour Pat called back to say John would come in to teach the class. The first question John asked my kids was "why are you here". Both kids explained that they have shot shotguns but never handguns and since their dad has handguns and shoots they wanted to learn. John proceeded to explain how to Safely handle the fiearms in a classroom setting. Then it was off to the range to shoot. First they all shot 22's and once comfortable they moved up to 9mm. I cant say enough good things about Pat, John and target world. Everything about our experience was top notch. We look forward to going back to shoot and take additional lessons.

I just took a women's only handgun class. The instructors (Dan and Shannon) It was my first time shooting ever and they put everyone at ease. They provided great safety instructions with good practice in the classroom. Once in the range, they provided great feedback and even more instruction. I will definitely be looking into more courses and lessons. Overall I was very pleased with my experience.

Tonight I had a beyond experience at Target World. Robbi, Bill, Kevin S., Matt and David were all knowledgeable. I’m normally not that great with names but because they all truly took personal time with me understanding what they offer, services, gun knowledge, etc... they made it easy for me to remember each them. Truly appreciated their time. If you go there they’ll take care of you!!! Thanks fellas!!!

My husband and I have been taking instruction by the Target World Staff with great results. We are new to the sport and have been taking instruction from their staff. We have taken an active interest and are particularly interested in safety, accuracy, and increasing our skill. We are more than pleased with the professionalism and interest in our welfare and our enjoyment of this sport. In addition to a great staff, they have great prices on firearms, ammo, and clothing.

Having never shot a handgun before, I was anxious and really not sure what to expect from a beginner session. John was great - took the time to ask questions, answer questions, explain the "why" (which I need), and was very encouraging. He was vigilant - quick with advice and correction each step of the way and helped me get comfortable with the basics very quickly. I was surprised at how confident I felt when I left vs when I had arrived and am looking forward to another session. Overall a great experience!

I picked up a S&W 9mm today, and Jason was my salesperson. I can't say enough good things about him. He was patient, thorough, and very knowledgeable. Buying a gun for the first time can be a little intimidating, but Jason made it a very comfortable experience. He was great. Looking forward to going to the classes.

Had a great experience at Target World today. I needed some help attaching a scope to my rifle, as I lack a bit of know-how and the right tools. Their staff enthusiastically helped me, even though I could tell this wasn’t necessarily a normal request for them. I’ll look forward to returning!

My wife and I took a firearms training class with Shannon. My wife had never fired a gun and had lots of anxiety. Shannon recognized this, put her concerns to rest. Gave us both a lot of practical knowledge. We both were shooting in the center day one. Shannon is a 100% professional and Target World is well run. Definitely going back for more instruction with Shannon.

I took my first private lesson with Dan. Well worth the money to learn the proper and safe way to shoot. Dan was very knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. I look forward to my next lesson. Would definitely recommend going to Target World to get started if you're interested in learning to shoot... I think Target World may become one of my favorite places to go. Thanks Dan

I had a private lesson with John Pope over the weekend. John was extremely knowledgable. He took his time with explaining everything, and did so in a manner which made learning from him very easy and fun. I would highly recommend him as an instructor. The range itself was great also. Multiple times, employees came up to me and asked if I needed anything and made sure everything was going smooth.

Great Women's Only Handgun class! Although I have a concealed carry permit and have carried for years, obviously you don't get hands on training by just carrying. Shannon was a great instructor and I think the entire class was very comfortable with their guns by the end of the range time. I plan to return for more classes.

Rebecca Shive

23:55 13 Aug 19

Shannon was excellent. The entire experience was helpful and positive. I am a trained law enforcement professional. I am always looking for more support around qualification and additional training. I am beyond grateful for the session and hope to be back quarterly for more assistance. Thank you.

Recently took a lesson from Dan, as my accuracy was not were I wanted to be. Pretty good, but always room for improvement! Dan is extremely professional & knowledgable, and provided very accurate feedback. In our one hour 1:1, he was able to quickly diagnose areas to focus on, and techniques to correct what I was trying to accomplish. The suggestions and drills were spot on, and achieved significant & positive improvement. While the lesson cost is not inexpensive, it was well worth the time and money. The folks working at Target World have safety has the top priority, and are always willing to help educate or assist when ever asked. I have made this my primary indoor training facility. I feel comfortable, safe and enjoy the environment. Highly recommend for shooting & lessons.

Had a fantastic personal instruction experience with John Pope at Target World. I am a left-handed shooter, and consistency hit my targets low and to the right. Mr. Pope was professional and encouraging, and he quickly assessed my grip and trigger pull to diagnose what was affecting my accuracy. Within minutes I was seeing noticeable improvements. I highly recommend taking classes at Target World.

I hadn't picked up a gun in 35 years. My wife and I took an introductory course with John Pope. Great guy, learned a lot in 1 hour. we shoot here all the time, never any issues other than normal wait time.I would highly recommend John and Target World.

My son had a lesson today with Shannon and I want to say how pleased I was with the entire process. The instructor was very, very knowledgeable, engaging and professional. There was no clock watching and at the end he took the time to introduce himself to me and cover the progress they had made. The lesson was a gift and my son was very happy with what they had accomplished together. Beyond that, the reservation set up was easy and I don't feel overcharged. Everyone was professional and friendly. I would recommend this facility for target work and Shannon specifically for anytime you need lessons... Thanks!

I've purchased two difficult to find hand guns from this store.The selection is second to none. The salesman have been great.my only gripe is you pay a different price if you are law enforcement, NRA's member, ect. I'm an American tax payer, I donate money to causes that I believe in, I've donated to the NRA's but I'm not a member. I just wish I could enjoy the the discount. It has in the past lead me to purchase firearms from other stores.

Shot here for the 1st time on 06/06/2019. Let me just say this. I'm a vet, a former marine with two combat deployments to Afghanistan. That said, I'm very particular about where I like to shoot. It has to be safe, clean, and the staff has to be complimentary. Target World certainly meets all of my expectations. Some people will be turned off because there is no rapid fire. But a one shot per second cadence is more than enough for adequate drilling. However, the RSOs (if asked) will clear competent and reliable shooters for faster fire, as well as drawing from holster. Just remember it's up to the RSOs, not you. That said, the rules here are 100% on point to provide a great experience for new shooters. The range staff is mostly veterans or involved with law enforcement in some compactity. So you know they know their stuff. If I'm going to take my wife, kid, friend, relative any where to learn how to shoot. Its gonna be Target World 1st before anywhere else.

Target World handled the transfer of two handguns my father gifted me exceptionally well. The weapons belonged to my grandfather, so I was relieved when they arrived, and that someone was courteous enough to give me a call to let me know they'd come in. They were very polite during background check and paperwork process, and even sold my wife a nice picture of some Pheasants that wasn't even marked for sale. Very professional and friendly staff. We will both happily continue to do business here in the future, as well as use their range. Thank you!

Matt K

00:16 18 Feb 19

Great place. Took a class, the instructors were very knowledgeable and weren't watching the clock, they even took an extra 30 minutes to go over a few questions we had. I recommend Target World very highly. Also, I just read all of the reviews, I have never experienced any of the comments made in the negative reviews. Great staff, extremely helpful and patient and they treat you will tons of respect.

Nice clean range, love the fact that they check the shooter's efficiency before they're allowed onto the range. Good staff and nice atmosphere! RSO is always conscious of what's going on on the range.

This review is long overdue. I started attending Target World exclusively since my bad experience at another local range *cough* man on the stool *cough* was rude to me for a clerical error THEY made, along with other comments that put me beyond ever returning. Anyway, Target World is the polar opposite. They have state-of-the-art range lanes and are very sizeable. The staff is incredibly polite, friendly, and professional. Whether you are a new shooter or experienced, they are great to work with. The prices are fair and as long as you adhere to all safety rules, you will have a great time. The upstairs shop has me like a kid in a candy store. I have been visiting this range for at least a couple years now, have brought many friends and my wife who is a new shooter and we all appreciate this facility. Continue to do you guys, you've got the competition beat and they know it!

Today I gave Target World a try. I had no idea how nice a range it was. I was greeted by Matt who helped me through their range orientation process . Once inside, I found a clean facility with modern equipment. I had a great experience. After shooting Matt prompted me to check out their gun shop on the 2nd floor. Wow, impressive. Check it out; I'll be back!

Jacob Beebe

22:23 08 Sep 18

I went there to use the range. The facilities were very nice and well kept. Staff was very friendly. They seemed to have a good selection. I am giving a 4 out of 5 star because they have a policy stating you must be 21 to use the range, even if you are using a rifle. The gentleman explained this is for insurance purposes, which I can understand. It’s just frustrating to be qualified to purchase a long arm and ammunition for said long arm, but not be able to use it at their own facilities. Would most likely come back when I am 21.

As a beginner, I found Dan Carr to be an excellent trainer. After just one lesson I felt more comfortable handling the weapon and understanding the basics of gun safety.

17:22 27 Jul 18

I can't say enough positive things about Target World. Each visit is a pleasurable one and I learn so much. I have been taking lessons with Shannon to build confidence in shooting and narrow down a selection to purchase. I am constantly recommending Target World to friends. Thank you for all the staff at TW for always being so welcoming, positive and willing to help!

Megan Morris

Beautiful range and all the employees are super helpful. If interested in taking lessons, see Shannon. He is a wonderful instructor and makes you feel confident and relaxed! (even for new shooters)I would absolutely recommend this range to everyone

Went here recently and got a new handgun from them. Very friendly, informative and great customer service. Answered any and all questions without attitude. I forgot who sold me the gun but he was very enthusiastic. Definitely will be going back. And you get 2 free range hours with a purchase of a new gun. Just can’t beat that

I have been a member at Target World since December 2017, have purchased multiple items there, and have taken firearm classes from Dan and have ALWAYS received 5-star treatment from the staff. As someone who has previously visited other firearm retailers and ranges, Target World is the go-to place for novice and veteran shooters alike.

Todd Thayer

20:26 08 Jun 18

The range is modern and run well. The shop is well stocked and well staffed. Overall high quality... It's generally not the cheapest option, but my preferred range and I'll buy supplies there. Better prices online, but this is a good place to shop local if you can.

Took a beginners lesson with Shannon and couldn't be more grateful. Shannon is an amazing teacher and did a really good job of molding the instruction around me as an individual and why I was getting into shooting. Really can't thank them enough and I'll be back for more instruction from Shannon.

I really like how they cleaned up the indoor shooting range! Many times when I would shoot my .44 Magnum I would get cuts from the copper as the bullet would hit the backstop. That is now a thing of the past now. They have really refined the range and greatly improved on the air circulation system.👍 I am also a very big knife collecter and they alway seem to have knives that I can't find unless I go to a knife show. They have a great display of knives for whatever you are looking for. They also carry pretty much anything your looking for, when it comes to trap shooting, Archery, Reloading, clothing for all weather, Ammunition, rifles, handguns of all calibers, targets, Top of the line safes, and just about anything else you need. Be it for law enforcement, hunting, or simple target shooting. When I visit there, I usually end up like a kid in a candy shop! Keep up the good work fellas!

John

19:02 09 Apr 18

Never been to a range or shot a pistol in the past. Met with John Pope who walked me thru the basics of handling/using a pistol then on to the range. John's instruction I thought was thorough, focused on safety, takes his time explaining the nuances and helped me through the first time on a range. All in all a great experience. Enjoyed it enough that I signed up for a second lesson with John.

Shooting here for over two years. Love the place and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. In speaking with them about my progress - some days very accurate, others, not so much - they suggested a lesson to fine-tune my accuracy. I spent an hour with Shannon on Sunday and was not disappointed! He assessed my current stance, posture, aim, trigger pull, all within the first 15 minutes so we could then work on these things for the rest of the lesson. Turns out I am left-eye dominant and right handed so we adjusted for that. Also adjusted for my "over-grip" with my right hand. Now I can work on these adjustments instead of just "throwing" rounds downrange with the same results. Will definitely schedule another lesson with Shannon in a few months. Take advantage of their knowledge and instruction! Your "friend" doesn't know what he's talking about, trust me...I hear it all the time when I am at the range..."just squeeze the trigger, don't hold the gun too tight, hold the gun tight, just see the front sight, don't focus on the target - just let the pros teach you correctly from the beginning and you'll be out-shooting your "friend" in no time

Had a membership here for almost a year now and it's a great place to shoot. The range prices are very reasonable, you can rent firearms at the range too. The staff are consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Upstairs from the range is the store where they have a large selection of ammunition, accessories, new and consignment firearms, and a section for hunting bows. They have their FTL so you can also transfer and ship firearms (for a fee) if you need to. This was very handy when I had to send a recent purchase back to the manufacturer.

I had an excellent time shooting here this past Black Friday. Very friendly, knowledgeable staff. They were quick, articulate, and helpful in explaining things to inexperienced shooters, and allowed more experienced shooters to go about their time in the range. They were not pushy, or bossy in any way. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to shoot indoors in the area.

Paul Moore

17:26 22 Nov 17

Went with my 2 boys for introductory class. Was very informative and well structured. Class is an hour, and we stayed for an hour on the range, we were able to shoot with 2 different types of guns, under the direct supervision of our instructor Chris OBrien.

Gregory Fox

My wife and I had a great experience with firearms instruction with our instructor Lisa, she was great working with both of us and we felt very comfortable and walked away feeling more confident about our shooting skills. We highly recommend Lisa as an instructor for anyone learning for the first time or getting reacquainted with shooting if it's been a long time. Thanks Lisa!

Kerian Bray

00:15 05 Nov 17

I would highly recommend Shannon as an instructor. He is very patient and pushes you to expand your skills with each lesson. He has a great understanding of the intimidation one can feel from handling a gun and makes you feel safe, at ease and in-control at all times. In addition the Target World range staff are very helpful and courteous at all times.

Bob Held Jr

00:31 20 Aug 17

Just took my third lesson with Shannon, and I am not sure who was more excited about my progress! Shannon has been patient, exacting, and down right fun to take a lesson from on how to use a handgun. While safety is his first priority, Shannon has pushed the envelope with me, and it has paid huge dividends in increasing my ability to use a handgun, my accuracy, and my confidence on doing this task correctly. I would recommend Shannon to anyone who wants to enjoy shooting a handgun the correct way, and have fun in the process. Bob, Jr.

Took the son out to examine CC options and blow off a box of 9's and half a box of 45's. The staff was great in explaining the various options and related CC costs. The sales guys especially Ty, were experts in CC size items and worked to fit him with glove level love in a price that fit.

I find that the staff at Target World have been very helpful and give me what ever assistance needed. The competence of all staff have been reassuring for me as a new interested participant in the art of self defense. I highly recommend Target World. Five stars.

Janice Visconto

00:43 14 Jul 17

As a new shooter I was somewhat apprehensive about taking this path. I can't say enough about this staff and facility. From my first phone call and conversation with Pat and after two lessons, one with Shannon and another with Lisa, I have an appropriate firearm and know how to shoot it safely, reasonably,and accurately. I can disassemble, clean and reassemble my semi. I was never uncomfortable or made to feel stupid. I am impressed with the safety standards and will be a regular visitor to this outstanding facility.

Flo Rutherford

23:51 23 Jun 17

I decided to learn how to shoot a gun. After taking the NRA course, I needed to find a place to practice, practice, practice. Yes, the first time my husband (a somewhat experienced shooter) and I decided to go to the range, the attendant did assume we were very much a novice. However, I think he had safety in mind and didn't assume we were yahoos. One week later I purchased my gun there and the attendant asked me what I thought were appropriate questions, had me dry fire 6-7 guns to feel the grip and overall balance. It took almost 2 hours but I felt it was well worth the time spent finding "my gun". I have also taken a lesson with Lisa who I highly recommend! She was safety conscious, tapped into the knowledge I had from the course, made some minor corrections on hand position, etc. She was very knowledgeable on firearms, had great teaching technique, and I plan to do another lesson with her! It was money well worth spent on learning better technique.

Daniel Vanegas

17:12 16 Jun 17

This is my first gun range I've ever been to. The staff members were really helpful in helping my load my gun better. I think it is in their best interest to help their customers though since they get all levels of gun owners coming in. They have all you need for rent, but I preferred to save some cash by buying my own bullets.

Dorian Porter

13:08 21 May 17

Large gun store on the top floor and the indoor gun range is effective. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Good for beginners and experts alike.

Personnel are very helpful and knowledgeable. Lisa is a great instructor, very informative and professional. Advised me well in the purchase of my first gun and made me get comfortable with it. I highly recommend this place.

It was quiet a while since I have been to Target World, so I took an afternoon to check out the renovations I've heard about. Upon arrival, I was greeted by one of the staff and was asked to fill out the necessary paperwork. Since it was 2+ years since I last visited this range, starting as a new customer was necessary. Understandable. I was then asked to answer some basic firearms questions and given a brief firearms tutorial. Now, here is where my review will differ from some of the negative reviews I have read. As an experienced shooter and range-goer, I do not take offense to the way they treat people they do not know. I have been to many, many ranges and seen many very unsafe situations. If you are an experienced shooter in the firearm community, you should be excited to see a facility taking safety so seriously. It takes the little edge off not having to look over your shoulder constantly looking for unsafe practices, especially because the staff can easily monitor the range from behind, not via a camera. Overall, a great experience. Had a nice talk with the owner after about the upgrades done recently. Practically a brand new facility, with nothing else like it around. Safety, Safety, safety.
