The Range at Lake Norman

This was our first time shooting and we had a really fun time! When we first arrived, we were asked to sign a waiver and watch an instruction video. We got to choose the handgun we wanted to try and bought a box of 100 bullets for it. We started out with a .22 caliber. We were then given ear muffs and goggles. I had some trouble loading the magazine or when a shell casing got stuck but the staff was incredibly patient and informative every time I needed help. We wanted something with a little more punch to it so we asked and they let us switch to try a 9mm next! I definitely recommend this place as a great beginners shooting range. I will come back. Additionally, just a little tip for you is to wear clothes to cover most of your body. It was a spur of the moment experience for me so I wasnt prepared. I was wearing a covering over a sleeveless shirt. One of the casings burned my skin when it came out of the gun after I fired. The staff was nice enough to give me some antibiotic ointment and bandaid.

Still trying to figure out how they got my email address since I've never been here.

Overall it was decent. Karen was very pleasant but needs a course on customer service. No greeting upon walking in, overcharged our card and we had to ask for an intro on how to use a weapon and it was my friends first time at the range. The other 2 gentleman were very nice and informative. Overall it was ok. I would go to Ballantine for another shooting session instead.

Great local range. Have a few guns on hold and thankful they answered on the 1st ring today. My favorite range to take family and friends

well, i wish i could do a review better than only giving 1 star for this place. at first, this place looks nice and beautiful; and i live in harrisburg NC which required me 35 mins commute to this place. my friend practiced at this place last time and told me that they carry a gun that i am really interested in, then i decided to come on my day off. i called before i come and the lady actually answering the phone told me they don't have that, but i still decided to come check out the range. when i got in i cant believe in my eyes that i saw the gun i'm interested in hanging on the wall, thats one point. I asked if i could handle the gun, and the lady (i think she was one that picked up phone) gave it to me like whatever, when i handled the gun, i have some questions in mind that i wanted to ask (price, option, etc...) but she did not ask me anything like do you like it or how do you think about this, which most of the gun store they do for customer service (get customer opinion, ask for what they need and help them out). it is a WRONG when my friend said that this range has helpful staff and they really work with customer; i don't think so or maybe my friend is white and i am asian (i hope not); it was so disappointed. this range should improve in customer service like make the clients feel welcoming and attended. p/s: i just called my friend and cancel the plan that we come here together and practice at this range next week.
