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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Gregory Shields

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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 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.

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 !

Took my Mom for a basic pistol safety course and 1 hour on the range as a birthday gift. Our instructor was John Pope. John was absolutely fantastic! We couldn't have been happier with the level of patience, knowledge, personality, and humor from our instructor. Great shooting range, and huge selection in the shop! Everyone there is extremely welcoming and helpful. 10/10 in my book.

Practice at Target World every week. Very clear. Great counter people. Very knowledgeable on handguns and long guns. Been a member since 1986. The store upstairs stocks most everything one would need in guns and accessories. My wife even took her hunting safety course through Target World. Can't say enough about Dan and his crew.

The entire staff is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. We are always treated like family when we go to Target World. My husband, my best friend and I took a gun safety class with Dan. I came out of the class feeling much more confident in the safety aspects of shooting a gun. Also, with the purchase of our handgun we got 2 free hours of range time and a pad of targets...for free. Would HIGHLY recommend the classes and range to anyone looking for some more info about guns/shooting or just looking for somewhere to practice target shooting! Target World Inc. is my second favorite store called Target!

First and foremost, I'd like to give a tremendous shout out to the staff who I came in contact with after visiting this location earlier today. All were professional, polite, and had their check-in system down to a T. Their facility is clean and well taken care of, with a fairly quick check-in process that had me in my lane in no time. Their lanes have been upgraded with a new automated system that is UX friendly and super accurate. Additionally, they've installed a HEPA Filtration & Heat/AC Ventilation System to dispose of nearly all germs in the range area, which basically makes it the safest place you can possibly step foot in while avoiding COVID-19. Overall, I am quite pleased and plan on returning in the near future.

Have been using Target World for the last several months for gun purchases and range use. Every interaction with the staff has been positive and I feel significantly more comfortable using firearms due to the new shooter class I took with John Pope. The staff is very knowledgeable and are able to help while not talking down to me due to my inexperience. I have referred several people to these folks due to the caliber of staff and inventory available on a daily basis.

What a great gun shop. Everyone who works there is super nice and extremely knowledgeable. Jason F. helped me out with my purchase. I am a novice when it comes to guns and that did not affect my interaction with Jason. He took the time to assist me with all the beginner questions I had for him. He explained everything very well and gave me confidence i made the right choice for my needs. I am always going to suggest going to Target World for any firearms needs!!!

Private Lesson - Beginners Handgun
2 hour session with Dan Carr. My wife and I had a 2 hour private lesson with Dan and felt we hit a home run. We were interested in learning about gun safety and a healthy respect for firearms. Dan was very thorough and hit all the objectives we set for ourselves. We are looking forward to our next training class and practice.
Target World offers the best in instruction, practice facility and sales.

I inquired about handgun training classes, as they were sold out for almost the next two months. John Pope emailed me back later, letting me know that he would be posting a new timeslots, and that they would go quick. We were able to get in on these, and had a great experience. John Pope was a great teacher, and turned my once hesitant partner into a confident, proud and interested new gun owner.

In my recent visit to the gun shop there, the staff was knowledgeable and easy to work with. The inventory was significantly better than most places at the moment. I would highly recommend this place to someone looking to purchase a gun or accessories. I have not yet used the range there, but I have heard good things about it from other people.

I have not been a customer here as I am out of state, but I called one day looking for a specific gun, which unfortunately they didn't have. I didn't catch the name of the man who answered, but he was so helpful! He spent a good little while on the phone with me and gave me some suggestions where I might find it. He didn't have to do that. It was probably a month ago that I called. Since then I got my gun in hand thanks to his suggestions and had it at the range this past weekend. Thank you man whose name i didn't catch! Good people here.

Target World offers classes for every level of experience. Their instructors are polite, respectful and have a great grasp on the subject matter. Ultimately your success relies on yourself but this team at Target World provides a great start or foundation. If your on the fence don’t wait because it’s perfectly normal to be human.

Went in and was assisted by robby who helped me with a malfunction I had with a firearm, and helped me find a solution to my issue. I have purchased two guns from here and the staff are all always professional and knowledgeable. the range is clean and well maintained, and the selection of rental firearms on display is staggering. therefore I have chosen target world to be my primary source of firearms and firearm related equipment.

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.

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.

I like coming to target world. Staff is very friendly and helpful. No complaints. I'm a new shooter and never had a problem. I have read many reviews about Target World and agree with the good ones.

The range is great and very up to date. And although I get safety and the liability that comes with it, they kind of took it way over the top. At least today anyway. Maybe because it was our first time there? Who knows. I'm not even the type that minds refresher courses, especially with firearms. You can never be too safe. But we had multiple people monitoring everything we did to the point it got annoying. Now that we're on record maybe next time won't be that bad. But I'll probably just go back to Claytons.

I have been to Target world a half dozen times or so over the past few years. While I have NOT experienced some of the interactions and situations I have read in this forum, I have noticed peoples responses to similar situations while I was there. There have been times when the staff seems to be arrogant, and maybe and even argumentative - but when I witnessed this, there was an equal amount of "superiority" coming from the customer. Safety is of the utmost importance in any business dealing with Firearms, and while you might know your qualifications and experience - the men who work there need to feel safe in allowing you to handle a weapon at their facility....so while it might seem invasive and arbitrary, understanding both sides might help. That said - I see a continued "Theme" that there is a perceived customer service issue - and it has been running for a while now...and like it or not - you know what "They" say - Perception is reality! Yes - the staff needs to be polite and attentive, yes they need to be held accountable when appointments are made and not kept, and yes customers should not be made to feel ignorant (perceived or not)....and I would hope that the owner can also see it - and has addressed these issues so that we will see less of them in the future. If not...well, they will continue to receive bad ratings and we can take it from there! As a Facility, this place is 5 stars! As a Store, and inventory - again 5 Stars! (Give credit where it is due!) Prices on the range and rentals are fare and very competitive. The place is always clean and well lit. Prices are always up for debate on weapons, and if they hold the line - well, it is a business. In closing - what I would recommend is that you go to Target World with a open mind, and check your ego at the door....if you try to understand that in this environment "SAFETY FIRST" is more than just a saying - you might understand a little better why things are happening.... just a suggestion!

I bought my first AR today. The purchase experience was fantastic. I'm hearing impaired and the purchase staff was very supportive and patience as we wrote back and forth on notepad and the background check was quick. I gave the purchase 4 stars. But when it come to shooting range, it went downhill. The young employee treated me like I'm stupid and refuse to write it down and continue to speaking and expect me to understand everything by lipreading. First red flag; it's important to be educated about gun range for everyone and my safety. I told him to repeat it slow and he become impatient with me and rushing everything. So of course, I ended up look like idiot at shooting range dues to lack of communication. Although, I will only come back to purchase gun and accessories but not for shooting range. Second red flag; that employee made comment to other employee that I'm idiot which I don't really appreciate it. At least just be patient and show some respect if they want customers to come back and support their business. That's why I give it zero star for shooting range.

Poor customer service. I arrived at the store around 3:30 pm. After a short wait at the counter I was shown three used rifles that interested me greatly. With one of the clerk's assistance, I narrowed my choice down to two, and then after about fifteen minutes or so chose the one I wanted to buy. At that very moment, the clerk bluntly told me that he cannot sell me one of those rifles because "it was now 4:31 pm" and the strict store policy was that all purchases must be started by 4:30, purportedly to allow time for a background check. At first I thought he was just kidding, but he was serious. I asked him why he didn't simply tell me about the 4:30 cut off a few minutes earlier, since he was standing there with me the whole time? I then asked a clerk who appeared to be a senior clerk if they could make a one minute exception because I was visiting from out of the area, and since the store was closed the following day on Sunday, I would not be in a position to come back any time soon. They couldn't have cared less.
So I never purchased the stupid gun, and have never been back.

Over priced target range with overly restrictive fire rate of 3 seconds between shots. Poorly designed target carriage arm hangs too low and is made of metal. If you Nick it they charge you $25! Complete ripoff many other better places in the extended area.

stopped in today just to fire my gun which I have not done in a while. I am not the best shot nor do I claim to be on the questionnaire they had me fill out.. As I was shooting I felt like I was being watched and I was which made me very uncomfortable... When I checked out they charged a $15 damage fee which they never provided a receipt..When I asked what the fee was for they said a bullet hit a piece of metal the holds the target... It was a scratch no whole or anything..nothing was broke but they insisted on the $15 fee...Charged $50 and never gave a receipt..THEY ARE SHADY to say the least.... So I stopped in to shoot got stalked and charged a extra $15.... not sure what bothers me most now the FU Fee or The NO receipt ? either way not a good experience....

I called to see what time they stopped letting people on the range and the person on the phone said 8:30pm so I get there at 8:05pm and they don’t let me on the range. I drove an hour round trip for nothing. If I could give 0 stars I would.

If no stars was an option I would choose it!! I was interested in buying my first gun and came here with my family to try a few on the range. After filling out the necessary paperwork we were told the owner had just called and informed the staff the range was only open to members today. After letting the clerk know we were interested in buying a gun and would even consider becoming members we were still refused. During this entire time there were only two people in the range. This store must charge way too much if they can afford to turn down four people to their all but empty range, a potential sale, and all future business from my family. 2 years later I see Target World just replied to my review saying the range is always open and that something must have been lost in translation. I'm not sure how that is possible given my explanation. We even tried to become members! I appreciate they finally took the time to respond, but please think before providing a stupid response that really doesn't make sense.

Extremely poor customer service. I scheduled an appointment and called to confirm leaving a voicemail and contact information if there was any problem. When I showed up, they claimed I had no appointment and declined to answer why they did not simply call me back and advise of same. Most troubling, the staff was incredibly dismissive, unsympathetic, and unaccomadating. They made no effort to rectify the situation, and did not even offer an apology. I was literally told "Too bad." I will never purchase from them or use them as an FFL intermediary, and will let everyone who can listen know why.

Know it alls. Try to sell you guns you don't want. Everything you say is wrong. Go to Clayton's in Horsham rt 611 for good people and no hassle.

Tried to buy a pistol from these guys but as I shoot in both Jersey and pa I needed 10 rd magazines when I asked if I could swap the mags to 10rd they naturally laughed and said no. They said it wasn't with it for them they would sell it anyway. When I asked if they would keep mags and offer a discount slightly lesser than mag value they had the same reaction. I understand the corona virus and limited supplies have driven sales up but that is no excuse for terrible service and being simply rude. Highly recommend going elsewhere for all your needs gun related.
