GunPort Academy & Range First Class Arms Training, Inc.

Horrible customer service with mouthy rude staff.

I had not shot a gun in over 30 years.I've learned so much. These are fine classes to take from Level 1, 2, 3 and 4. Not only do you learn how to shoot different kinds of pistols but safety, life or death maneuvers, how to keep calm and focused, enjoy watching and learning from others in class.Also the history of guns and ammunition.Mr. Gary is an excellent instructor, Ms Diane there to greet you and answer questions, Bobbie cleaned my revolver in record time, packed gear needed for training, even brought us water when I was slap worn out from the long day. When I purchased my pistol permit I took my Certificates to show. The officer was very impressed with the extent of the training. The Night Fire, Level 4 was awesome and totally different when aiming at the targets.I think these training courses should be required before being able to carry anything with bullets.

Facility is nice, but had a bad experience. After watching the safety video and getting my range card I proceeded to the range. It was a cold range when I got there so I went to set up targets. Prior to the range going hot, I realized I had set my stuff on the wrong bench. I picked up a cardboard box of ammo and moved it to the correct one. No mags, no gun, no unboxed ammo. Just a box. The range went hot and I started loading. I turned around and the owner was walking up behind me and asked for my card. Confused, I asked why and she tells me that I had caused a violation and would receive a punch on my card(after 3 punches, you cant come back ever). While I totally understand that they want to be strict on rules, I feel like a warning would have been efficient in this situation. Had I been pointing a gun or actually loading something while the range was cold, I totally get it. Either way it put a sour taste in my mouth for this place.
