Getting Started
Two Ways to Take Your First Shot
If you’ve never fired a gun, or haven’t in years, you’ll need to complete a one-on-one session with an instructor before using the range independently. If you have real range experience, you’re welcome to walk in and shoot. The PSO gets you on the live range right away. The simulator is there if you want to build comfort before stepping up to live fire.
Required for New and Inexperienced Shooters
Personal Safety Officer Session
One-on-one, live-fire instruction with a dedicated instructor for the full hour. Your instructor walks you through safely handling, loading, and shooting and stays with you start to finish. If you’ve never fired a gun before, this is required before you can use the range independently. If you haven’t shot in years and aren’t sure where your skills are, a PSO session is the right way to get back up to speed safely.
Already a competent shooter? You’re welcome to book a PSO for focused one-on-one coaching to sharpen specific skills. Many regulars book sessions periodically just to tune up their technique and keep bad habits from forming. If you choose to shoot independently, please be honest with yourself about your skill level. Our RSOs are on the floor every session, and anyone who appears unsafe on the range may be removed without refund.

Intro to Firearms: Simulator
This course covers pistol handling fundamentals on our Ti Training simulator instead of the live fire range. It’s a low pressure way for kids, nervous first-timers, or anyone who’s never held a gun to build real comfort and confidence before stepping onto the range.
You’ll cover the core safety rules and range etiquette, then put them into practice right away on the simulator. The projector-based system uses replica Glocks in a classroom setting completely away from the range. No live ammunition, no range noise, no pressure. Building muscle memory here makes the jump to live fire much smoother. If you and your instructor are both comfortable by the end, the session can transition directly to live fire and may satisfy the PSO requirement at your instructor’s discretion.
Up to 4 people can book together for a flat rate, making it a great way to bring friends or family. The simulator is normally a members-only perk, so this is also the only way non-members get access to it.

First Visit Guide
01
Before You Arrive
Book your session in advance. Walk-in instructor availability is not guaranteed.
Wear closed-toe shoes. Sandals and open-toe footwear are not permitted on the range.
Wear a high-neck shirt. Hot brass ejects from firearms and can cause burns. Low-cut tops are strongly discouraged.
Bring a valid photo ID. Required for all shooters.
Minors aged 10 and up are welcome on the live range and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the entire visit.
02
Checking In
Sign a liability waiver and watch a brief range safety orientation at our check-in kiosks.
Any personal firearm must stay in a closed case or holster until you’re inside your assigned stall. No handling in the lobby.
Staff check all ammunition at check-in. No steel-core, armor-piercing, incendiary, tracer rounds, or any handloads or reloads.
Do not dry fire or handle firearms in the retail area or lobby.
03
On the Range
Follow RSO instructions without hesitation.
Treat every firearm as loaded at all times. Never point at anything you aren’t willing to destroy. Finger off the trigger until ready to fire. Know your target and what’s beyond it.
Muzzle stays downrange at all times.
When an RSO calls ceasefire, stop immediately. Set the firearm on the bench with the action open and step back behind the line.
04
After Your Session
Wash your hands with the lead-removal soap in our restrooms before leaving the building.
Head to Tommie’s Place, our on-site lounge, to decompress and grab a drink.
Ask about upcoming training classes or CCW certification with the same instructors you met on the range.
Membership is worth a look if you plan to come back. Most people do.

Common Questions
Yes. If you’re ready to jump in, the PSO session is one-on-one, live fire, with an instructor coaching you through every shot. Most beginners leave feeling far more comfortable than they expected. If the idea of live fire makes you nervous, start with the Intro to Firearms: Simulator course instead. Same fundamentals, no live ammunition, and you can bring up to three friends along.
The PSO session is one-on-one live-fire instruction on the range, best for anyone who lacks range experience or wants focused coaching. The simulator course uses a projector-based Ti Training system with replica Glocks in a classroom setting away from the range. No live ammunition, no range noise. It’s designed for people who want to build comfort and muscle memory first. If your instructor determines you’re ready, the simulator session can transition to live fire and may satisfy the PSO requirement. Both are $99.
For the live range, the minimum age is 10 years old. For the simulator course, there is no minimum age. In both cases, anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the entire visit.
For standard range time, walk-ins are welcome subject to lane availability. If you’re a new shooter who needs a PSO or simulator session, book in advance. Instructor availability is not guaranteed for walk-ins.
Yes. Bring your firearm in a closed case or holster. Ammunition must be factory-new. Reloads and handloads are not permitted. Staff will inspect your ammo at check-in.
We have a wide rental selection. Shooters 21 and older have access to the full fleet. Ages 18–20 may rent rifles and shotguns. Rentals are $20 per session. If you book a simulator course, all equipment is provided and there’s nothing to bring.
