James T.Phoenix, AZ772711Feb 9, 2024NEVER, EVER USE THIS RANGE, or shop here!
They only want to take your money and ignore your 2A rights. In order to use the range with a suppressor or SBR, you must show them your tax stamp and allow them to confirm the s/n's match.
There is absolutely zero reason for them to ask for this documentation. There is no local or federal law that would require this. Do not support a place that would harass you to use their range. There are always other ranges and shops that support your 2A rights.

I'm hooked even with the traffic busy location- David R.Austin, TX192Mar 26, 2024
Considering the complaints regarding excessive fees and the extremely inappropriate and rude response from the owner, I would avoid this place at all costs.

Hello David, thank you for providing your feedback. Here at Shooters World, we do our best to keep our prices as affordable as possible so that everyone can shoot and our team goes out of their way to be as helpful to our guests as possible. While we are always professional and courteous, there is simply no way to tell someone that they are not allowed to shoot AK firearms one handed because it's clearly dangerous or that they need to have proper documentation for the items that they want to shoot at our facility because we can be held liable, without seeming like a killjoy. We would love to have you shoot with us, but we respect your decision to frequent other establishments. You have a lovely day and thank you for reaching out to Shooters World.

World Class weapons shop and range! Superior service, friendly folks, and world class range.
This facility outperforms all others. I have shot all around the world. I was in the military for 26 years. I now shoot at a nice range in Oklahoma City. Not even close to " SHOOTERS WORLDS" EXTREMLY high standards.
We are relocating to "The Villages" next Spring. One of the big reasons is so I can shoot at your range every week with my 50 year old daughter.
I wish I would have noted the names of the people who helped me there but I didn't. From the RSO's to the sales folks and all in between they were exceptional and friendly.
Regarding documentation and the 2nd Amendment. I did/do not feel Shooters World was restrictive at all. To the contrary. The USA does what they do to secure our rights while giving us the ability to carry a weapon and be prepared for a possible national crisis. Just my opinion.
THANK YOU and look forward to shooting there as much as possible in the future.

Hello Stas, we are glad that we were able to make your first experience informative and fun! Weapons are most definitely not toys and we are very serious about firearm safety and teaching our shooters how to handle them confidently and securely. We look forward to having you become a regular here at Shooters World!
Sergiy D.Tampa, FL9515May 22, 2023Updated reviewGot smacked with their "annual ripoff" Shooters Card BS. But came back a few times when I was in the area with my wife, and took my one start review down. Came back yesterday, and now they require all guests to pay the $10. They charged us the $10 but did not provide the actual card, it was literally just a matter of paying them the extra $10. I never buy overpriced ammo or anything else here. All I needed to know is overhear the employees talking dirt about customers and other employees, you know the owners are in for a profit, no lube for customers, just shaft...
Good bye, I encourage people to speak up and go to another range that wont come up with ripoff schemes every 4-6 months.
Edit: in response to owner.
Dear owner, dont be full of it. I was coming to your place for a while, and your $10 fee on top of range fee started a little over a year ago. And when I went there with my wife recently, she too was charged the $10 as a guest, and your cashier told me its a recent policy put in place a few months ago. I am actually glad to find out about much better places to shoot like Wyoming Antelope Club and Gun Trader Den and a hidden gem Indoor Shooting Company, pistol cartridges only but a great older range with a peaceful environment.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 1Business owner information

Hello Sergiy, the annual $10.00 fee for the shooters card is not a new policy, it has been in place (and has not changed) since 2018. Our staff can check the system to confirm that our guests' shooters cards are still active. If customers do not have their card when they come, they can have a new one made for them or as in cases where they have a card but simply forgot it, they can be admitted without it. This is done as a courtesy so that customers, like your wife, can shoot even if they happen to forget their card. If your wife needed a new physical card, she could have requested one. Do reach out to us at support@shootersworld.com with any further comments, concerns, or details about the incident.
Jul 16, 2021Previous reviewBeen here plenty of times. But today they want to make me pay $10 for a card that allows me to shoot at the range. Pathetic... overpriced ammo is already too much, and now they pull these mob moves and try to rob you of $10.
Will never be back here. Plenty of other local ranges, this one happens to be next to my sons camp.
teddy p.La Mirada, CA6577May 12, 2023Came here all the way from California and was left with memories of a lifetime! This is a premier shooting range if you wants top notch experience. The facility and store is modern and everything was well maintained.
The thing that hit it out of the park was the two range staff I interacted with: Patrick at check in and Brian, who was our range officer/firearms experience guide. Both of these fine gentlemen are such an asset to this place and made my family's experience so enjoyable. Thank you very much for an awesome day at the range!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Baron S.Austin, TX02Nov 20, 2023Asked to show ID to purchase ammunition. There is no legal requirement to do so in Florida. Also, clerk at checkout had to go back behind the ammo counter 3 times until he got my request/order correct. Not the brightest people working here.
