Best place to shoot in West Palm! Great inventory, clean, and just all around awesome. The staff is incredible too. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Eric in particular helped me and I can’t say enough good things about him. He spent a good amount of time with me explaining everything. I liked working with him so much I bought a year membership! Thanks Eric!! I’ll be seeing you guys quite all the time now!!
If you have the option of another range, go there. I have never been in contact with employees as abusing as they have there! I think it just might be the customer that eventually pays their salary! There certainly are better ways of pointing things out rather than abuse and threats! And I paid money for that! They also state that masked are required, not a soul, except my son in law and myself, in the store we’re wearing a mask……..just as dangerous as a loaded gun! The one star they got was just for a couple of gun sales they had, the place was totally unacceptable! Never, never, never again!
Autumn was very helpful and she even went the extra mile to give me 10% percent off of my gun case
Always treat LEOS right, great place to buy and service your weapon.
Called to see if yall had the new kimber r7 mako instock, your salesman was rude as hell as if i should have known yall didnt have the product.
I purchased a gun there and the sales person was ok. She did not ask a lot of questions of me or offer any advice. That maybe be because she was younger than my grandkids. I had to go back the next day as the backround check was not complete and I could not wait any longer. I went back the next day and the staff could not have been less interested in helping me. I finally had to stop a girl and tell her that I came to pick up my gun. She took my information and I finally got my gun and left the store but I felt like I was a bother and not at all appreciated as a customer who had spent more than $500 dollars. I guess it is hard to get good help these days. Next time I want to buy a gun I may go somewhere else.
Been coming here recently and I must say it’s been great. This place serves its purpose.
Gunsmith on premises, rangers are courteous and knowledgeable.
Cheap low quality ammo and terrible service. They are incompetent!!!
Go any where but here. Not worth your Money or headache their employees will cause you
What happened to this place?!! That’s all I’ve got to say
Shoot Straight has an excellent range.I did business with Jonathon and he treated me respectfully, knowledgeably and professionally.He shared the pros and cons of my purchase and offered me alternative options which I was not aware of. I was thrilled with my purchase and will definitely do business with him again. Great experience!
Save yourself some time go elsewhere. WAY over priced. Low quality cheap range and terrible customer service in the store
I go here often. The employees are mostly friendly. They also tend to give sound advice. Overall, Ive had several good experiences. Not perfect, but id say its a notch above your average gun store.
Had the worse experience at this place. The employees getting people to sign waivers were so rude. I don’t know his name, but his attitude was very disgusting. They are not helpful there at all. They have no type of customer service. They seem miserable to work there. We walked out didn’t even shoot because the experience was that bad. Hopefully they get some customer service training.
Very helpful staff and nice ranges. Shoot here frequently and also great gun selection. For the people leaving 1-star reviews due to the lack of CS they are not typically overwhelmed like this with everything going on. I am sure other larger gun shops are going through similar situations. Also plan to wait for 1+ hour for the gun range as its super packed for obvious reasons right now.
Good range a/c, friendly staff
The Guys at Shoot Straight are the Best and so helpful. As a female I feel very comfortable shopping there, which is very important to me and my husband. Juan is the Greatest!
DO NOT LET THEM HOLD YOUR ITEMS!! Rented a lane signed the waiver forms was given a range card valid till end of 2017. They inspect my range bag and was told that I could not use reloads and they will hold them behind counter 200 rounds (easy to ID branded purchased at show). Totally forgot to ask on my way out went back 2 days later and and was told there were gone and on duty manager says there are not responsible and there was no PROOF I shot there.
Best firearm shop in palm beach !!! Knowledgeable staff and great prices. FFL authorized so order online and pick up with zero issues.
I have been going to Shoot Straight since it opened many years ago. Since then, I have purchased probably at least 15 guns from them and utilized the range more times than I can count. Last week I purchased a POF Rogue and out of the box the gun had issues and was jamming. The manager, Jonathon Evans took it upon himself to put in the time, care and energy to remedy the problem. The gun is now eating like a champ and spitting out whatever I feed. In times such as these, to have the care and customer service provided by Jonathon and his team is what will keep me a loyal customer of Shoot Straight WPB and recommending to all my friends and colleagues-
Don’t waste your time! I’ve given them MULTIPLE opportunities and it’s always the same... Employees don’t acknowledge customers.
Loooveeee this place. Highly recommended.ETHAN very patient, knowledgeable and respectful great kid.The staff also provided a great service.That’s why keep coming back to this place.
Shoot straight is one of my preferred gun ranges as it appeals to all levels of gun ownership and experience. The gun smith is very knowledgeable and helped on numerous occasions.They also have great sales on items and ammo from time to time.They lose one star from me due to the annoyingly slow paced checkout process when you’re trying to use the range. If there’s at least one person in front of you it took on average 15 minutes before you go in. If they sped up the checkout process or maybe updated their POS system they can regain one star.All in all love this location and I would recommend.
I have spend around 3000$ in this location. Most of the staff are great people and will be honest with you about guns and modifications and the like. HOWEVER, I would never recommend using this locations as an FFL as they are incapable of processing the amount of orders they receive leading to unacceptable delays in the purchase of firearms. I would understand this in February this is not a new or unexpected demand at this point, they have continued to profit hand over fist through this pandemic as one of the largest retailers for firearms and parts in our area and yet the refuse to hire up to meet the demand of the community. FFL YOUR ITEMS TO YOUR LOCAL PAWN AND GUN SHOP. And a not to the company. if you cannot process orders on time when the owner of the firearm is in the building and the only person waiting in line; maybe process their order as they are IN THE BUILDING whilst the other orders are waiting a call and wont be there until they receive it.
Johnathan helped me ship a gun to an out of state FFL. His customer service was superb. After many years of using multiple Gun Shops, they just earned a loyal life long customer.
Anthony was just about the nicest and most knowledgeable manager Ive ever come across in the firearms industry. He helped me purchase a Galil. I will for sure be coming back to Shoot Straight for all my family and friends firearm needs thanks to Anthony
This place is amazing.got my first gun from them.ive priced around this place has the best prices and service.the guys there really helped me out made my first purchase a painless one.thank you all I will be back for more guns.
This range and shop are great! Always a pleasure visiting. Highly recommend
I was there a few years ago a few times, great staff, excellent facility. They did loose power one day I was there and they gave everyone their money back who was there to shoot plus a free voucher for a future visit.Pure class!
Today I had an exceptional experience at Shoot Straight. I had been looking for a new Rugher Mini 14 and I could not find one anywhere near the West Palm Beach area. I went back up north for the Thanksgiving holiday and was able to buy a new one from a gun shop in Connecticut. I had a chance to try it out later that week and had nothing but trouble with misfires right out of the box. I called the gun shop where I bought it and they said bring it back. Unfortunately I had to leave to come back to Florida and could not make it back. I called Ruger support and they said I could ship it back myself or take it to dealer and they would ship it back for me. I went to Shoot Stralght and immediately a gentlemen named Ben asked me what i needed and when I told him the story asked if I had the rifle with me and if I did he said Lets try it out on the range and see what is going on I filled out a range card and to the range we went. Well the rifle fired without a flaw. Go figure?? In any case Ben said keep on firing to see if we could reproduce the failure. The gun performed flawlessly. What was so impressive with Shoot Straigh is the immediate help offered without any hesitation. They didnt even charge me for the range time. A couple of other employees came over to assist and offered additonal suggestions. Bottom line I joined the range and bought more ammo. I have purchased firearms from this location before and had been a past range member. Every interaction with the staff has been courteous and helpfulThank You Shoot Straight West Palm BeachRichard
Clean store, air conditioning and ventilation work great in the range.
Customer service is trash. I have to practically beg for someone to help me which Im not about to do. I asked a couple of questions and all I got was No. Guns and Range, Palm Beach Shooting Center and Gator actually have friendly conversations and if they dont carry what youre looking for they point you in the direction. This is usually my last option and in most cases I would rather shop online then come here and beg someone to give them money. I want to make purchases but the demeanor of the workers makes me want to take my business elsewhere.
I wanted to buy a magazine, but I got tired of waiting in line for the next salesperson. My friend wanted to buy a magazine too. They lost two sales. Then I went to the range and they were out of 9 mm ammo. Been shooting since 1984, I have never been to a gun store that ran out of ammo, much less one with a range. I liked how the range officer enforced the rules. Staff was friendly. But really, no ammo? You have a line like in a deli to wait to buy something? Hire more people and replace your buyer.
Staff is friendly, helpful. Strict on range rules as they should be. Staff can appear inattentive at times, but because this place can seem like the only range in Lake Worth I get the impression theyve just got their hands full. Great place when its not as busy, because when it is youll be waiting.
No pressure. Relaxed atmosphere. They enforced social distancing so there was a short wait to get in. Extremely happy with my purchases. Mark, you are the man!
Ive been going to this shoot straight for 4 years. They have the best prices on firearms compared to ANY other shop anywhere near here. Great staff clean range and the folks there are friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this range.
Solid place. Nice staff.
Great place, friendly staff. My go to place for anything firearm related.
I have been going to Shoot Straight for years now. The wife and I pay for their yearly range membership three straight years now and plan to continue to pay for this range membership as it is an excellent value for frequent shooters wanting to maintain and improve their skills. This range membership is also valid in all the Shoot Straight locations around Florida as I have used it in their Fort Lauderdale and Apopka stores…like I said, excellent value!I have no complaints on their staff. They have a few employees who have stayed there for years, but they also have a constant employee churn rate as well. The store often gives a family type atmosphere where customers bring their family members to shoot at the range. It’s a refreshing sight to see.I have purchased ammo, firearms, used their gunsmithing services when Sid was still there, as well as used them as my FFL. In fact, when my gun came in one day and I arrived on site to try picking it up before they can even sort out their incoming deliveries and before they can even call me, they went out of their way to accommodate me and searched for my package, did the ATF paperwork, and got me out of the door with my new Glock 29 super happy; now, that is what I call top-notch customer service! They have been consistently provided excellent positive customer service to me. Kudos to their management staff.Lastly, since Sid left, they had been without an on-site gunsmith. I am hoping that they can find and hire a good, if not, better gunsmith like Sid.I highly recommend the Shoot Straight in WPB!
Ordered firearm online and had it shipped here. Ss called saying it was here, as tracking confirmed. I get there at 4pm today, wait in their line for over an hour and none of them was able to find my gun. The manager said I should have got there earlier. I think they really need gun safety courses on not losing firearms.Upping them to 3*. They found my gun called me about it. After waiting 2 hours in line I was able to pick it up and they waived the $25 transfer fee.
2 bad experiences with this company at two different locations. The first time I was spoken to by one associate with a demeanor that said he didnt want me in the store possibly because of my appearance. There was a younger guy doing his best to make sure I was taken care of until the other stopped him. The second time I went to buy an item that wasnt on their website. When i asked questions I could only get basic answers, that you can answer yourself just by looking at the firearm. No information could be given about the manufacturer, all I was told is that they had sold multiple of the item with no complaints. I bought the item with some confidence that a company like this doesnt sell bad items. After looking in to the brand I found that I could have bought it for $200 less, and the company is said to use cheap parts in their builds. My loss I guess from now on Ill just build my own. (They can deny this because my real name isnt on here)
Great shop, friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Ive had good experiences here. I have not used the range here because its overpriced compared to some other basically equal quality places I can go, but it looks to be a very nice range.I bought a Taurus G2c for about $35 cheaper than anywhere I could have went without going all the way to Miami. Great selection of weapons and accessories. Its more like a big-box store version of a gun shop, so that may be a plus or minus depending on the individual. I like being able to look around without being bothered too much, but when I have needed assistance, they were helpful. Because its a bigger store, the knowledge of the staff may be hit or miss. Many seem very knowledgeable, while others seem to basically be working there because, you know, its a job. Nothing wrong with that necessarily.All the stuffed animals (not the beanie baby kind I mean...) literally all around the shop is a turn off for me personally, but its a gun store so I guess its to be expected.
Great and friendly people when you need any help or have questions but the shooting range it really need major work. AC is so bad you feel you are in a Sunna they only have an AC opening behind each shooting booth that drip water on you. PLEASE TRY TO FIX IT UP AND YOU CAN CHARGE US A LITTLE MORE FOR IT. 3 stars for the great staff in there only
These guys are great. I took a scope and a new rifle to them, the manager dropped what he was doing and mounted/ bore sighted it for me. Shot it at the range with a tight group. Thanks
Large selection.Helpful staff.Nice range.
Employees are friendly and EXTREMELY helpful. They have great prices and are all extremely knowledgeable about guns. Their prices are great. I highly recommend Shoot Straight.
Guys in the store are very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. These guys are my go to for range shooting. Byron transfers. And any of my gun related needs. The store is a great size very well-kept. Is usually pretty busy but that’s because they are the best. Would recommend them to first time firearm purchasers or anybody looking for some fun on the range.
Anthony, Im giving you a shout out for the excellent friendly customer service especially when dealing with a massive line across the store. Professional. Shoot Straight, Give this man a raise.
Great place! Great range, crazy big selection of firearms. The staff is really why I gave Shoot Straight 5 stars; every staff member is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and really willing to help you. They’re not just trying to make a sale, they want you to be comfortable and well informed. I bought a membership for the range, excited to keep coming back
Reliable location with a great friendly and knowledge staff especially Eric who i go to every time! Would recommend even in busy times as corona drove sales up
The little skinny rat tail pony tail blonde girl in the place has an attitude and was really rude to my dad and I . When I tried to ask her something she just grabbed a sign and shoved it in our face then walked away. Otherwise the place seemed clean an reasonably priced. However, next time I’m taking my business elsewhere. She obviously didn’t think we deserved to be treated like people so I can’t have that.
This place has been an absolute nightmare. I’ve been there 3 times now trying to pick up my firearm and they’re always an issue. My wife also ordered a firearm which we paid for the 2 day shipping on. It has been 6 days and no one can give us any information as to what’s happening. I would go anywhere but here.
Nice place, staff is very helpful
Great service!!!!Great customer support!!!!!Extremely helpful when buying a rifle.
Awesome range. Everything you need the got it.
Helpful and friendly staff with a great selection. Very knowledgeable folks but theyre also willing to take the time to explain to a beginner. The range lanes are clean and well ventilated. Watch out for the condensation dripping from the vents though. All in all, highly recommend.
So me an my girlfriend an her whole family came to shoot a few rifles and handguns. Did all our paper work and gave my name to be put on a wait for rifles lanes to open. We sit at table right in front of the register, we 45 mins pass and nothing i ask whats the wait and they tell me they havent called me yet its about a hour wait. So i proceeded to wait another hour to notice that other people who came after me have been going in for a while now so I go back up to ask when am I suppose to get my lane that me an my party have been waiting 2 hours for. She asks my name then proceeded to tell me they called my name 3 times....... reminder that Im sitting literally in front of the register..... they she proceeded to states that made several attempts to call me in which my girlfriend corrected her and stated that the only name they called several times was not my name. And that they had seen us sitting there right in front of them since we checked in! All she said well we will put you on the list again to get called again....... so I am to wait another hour to get called for my lane.... when you guys were the reason iv been waiting so long???Iv worked many gun stores and ranges and never seen such sloppy handling of flow to the range and lackadaisical attitudes. Sorry but will never come back to this extremely unprofessional establishment again just a big waste of time.
Loved every bit of this place.. everything A-1 top of the line
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE. DO NOT HANDLE ISSUES. SO MANY OTHER OPTIONS IN THE AREA I WILL NEVER BUY HERE AGAIN. SERIOUSLY, LOOK ELSEWHERE.
Great staff at the West Palm Beach location. The gun range rates are competitive and they have a wide assortment of firearms and accessories. I must emphasize how friendly and knowledgeable most of the staff is and the patience they showed with a new shooter like me.
Been coming here the past year and half and have to say it’s been great. The staff are friendly and will do their best. They are knowledgeable but to an extent, just like anyone else. If they don’t know something they will try to find out for you. I purchased my first firearm from another local gun shop but always came here to shoot. The range is great and does what it needs to do.
Been shooting here frequently for a few years now. They offer a discount on the range for law enforcement and veterans. Have also bought several weapons here and have always found them to have reasonable prices.Overall a good range with a knowledgeable staff.
Im a late 60s veteran that started hunting & shooting with my father when I was 5yrs. old. Ive been shooting at this range at least 3 times per month for a little over a year and have been very pleased with the personnels knowledge & demeanor, plus the safety and cleanliness of the range. Sid, their gunsmith, is a true gentleman, he listens, hes patient and hes a superior gunsmith.The clientele varies from all walks of life with lots of families, husbands & wives. Ive never had a negative interaction with any of them and found most to be friendly and very courteous.
I see all these reviews regarding better AC. After going there I can see why, cause of all the heat from their breath as they breathe down your neck. Some guys are loose and let you have fun, but others grew up without legos so they dont know fun.
Very well organized, the staff very helpful, and the shooting area is nice and big. My boyfriend and I became members for a month, so we can shoot as many times as we want for the month, which is a great deal! And the store selection seems really good (I dont know much about guns, but it seems like they have a very good variety).
It would have been stellar if the associate informed me that they were closed over the phone than having me drive out to find out and then sarcastically telling me over the phone because a storm is coming. If you answer the phone at a store, it leads people to believe youre open. I understand that with the hurricane comes external stress from beyond your circumstances, but its not an excuse to talk to people in unprofessional manners, nor is it another reason to buy mass quantities of water considering you drink soda all year round and on this one occasion you decide youre an orca. Thanks.
David K. was our salesman. He took the time to help us purchase our shotgun. Was very knowledgeable, was patient in showing us different guns and and to help us choice the right one for our needs. Will be visiting again and would highly recommend him.
Great clean place. Staff was very friendly and seems to be the only place that does not have a long waiting list during the busy hours. They made a regular out of me.
Great staff, friendly and helpful. Range is in good order and plenty of slots, never waited more than 10 minutes or so for a lane!
This place has treated my excellently! The buying process for my S&W M&P 2.0C was awesome! Made The process as smooth as possible and even gave helpful insight on a firearm I could be interested in. When I bought he firearm I also bought a portable safe from them. The safe was disfunctional and wouldn’t lock no matter what code I set it to. I took it back and they saw the issue and gave me a brand new one! Their return policy is awesome and their customer service is outstanding!
Good range great location. Reasonable prices on guns and ammo.
Bring your business elsewhere........My friend and I went to Shoot Straight to use the pistol range. We were greeted by a young clerk and asked whats our business here. We told him to use the range. He asked us signed in and we did.He appeared less experienced and arrogant, then he profiled us and questioned whether we are citizens. I told him yes and he further asked us to provide proof of citizenship in addition to the driver license shown him.He told us they have policy only citizen and permanent resident are allowed possess and use firearms and he couldnt let us use the range without proof. Who carries birth certificate or US passport on him/her daily? I didnt think he does either.Instead of wasting our time further, we turned and got out. We headed to Palm Beach Shooting Center at I95 and 10th N Ave. The service there was much better and it has a better range rate than Shoot Straight.This business basically was practicing profiling on their customers, be aware......
Went into store with very little knowledge about firearms in general. I was greeted by a young salesmen named Kirk who couldnt have been more helpful. I have been in the customer service industry for many years and was pleasantly surprised by the service and info that I was given. Kudos to Kirk and the sales staff. I will definitely be back.
Went there with my wife and they told me I couldnt use their services without a license to carry. I told the man Ive never heard a gun range asking for a permit to rent and shoot and he told me you have to be certified to not shoot yourself. Ive been going to range all my life and never once have I been asked to show license to carry. They lost my money as I go to the range at least twice a week. And spend about 100 to 200$ easily at one time. I dont want to say this was racial but the white couple that came after me wasnt asked for a permit.
The same good as one in Lauderdale. Friendly, clean, organized!
Very friendly and knowledgeable professionals. Very helpful to a novice like myself in this hobby
Went in looking for a pocket pistol and was greeted immediately and got a great deal on a great pistol! Great experience look forward to shopping here again!
Solid prices and great prices on range times, if youre looking to shoot locally look no further than Shoot Straight. Somewhere between a Franchise Store and a Mom n Pop Shop, the staff here are friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. Take a look at their specials that go on weekly; you might find that firearm you wanted on sale.
Ive purchased 2 handguns and an AR-15 from Shoot Straight and use the range often. Their prices are very competitive.The people there are always pleasant and are very knowledgable. Adrian and his brother and Lucas especially are always patient and explain everything about any gun when researching a purchase.They have my respect and loyalty!
Large storefront with pretty much everything you could ask from a Gun Store.The Staff seemed really cool until I hit the range. You will have a Lady get on a loud mic and ask you to slow down if youre triple tapping. I understand rapid fire rules but they were a little over hyped.9/10 on the store, 6/10 for the range (only got up to 6 because it was clean).
My first time at Shoot Straight to buy a hand gun and use their range (on recommendation of a friend). I can not say enough good things about Alex, David and some other people who helped me there. Very straight forward, professional and knowledgable. I highly recommend Shoot Straight specially to people who are not gun experts and require patience and answer to a lot of their questions.
Very nice facility, good choice bought my HK VP 9 there, however some of staff will bully you, happened to me and friends, would not ever do business with them again.
Great selection and Staff is always helpful/polite, especially Anthony who is always willing to help and answer any questions. Guy should be the manager if he is not already.
Excellent experience friendly knowledgeable staff took their time to show me and explain a lot of different things some other gun shops I visited have pretty unfriendly staff which is definitely not the case at Shoot Straight
Thank you Jonathan! Also thank you Matthew and the shorter gentleman with the tattoo sleeve. You guys are great! Thank you
They have the BEST gunsmith in town. Ive taken several rifles and pistols in for repairs and/or modifications ... all the work performed was absolutely flawless. I will never take my firearms anywhere else.
This is one of those ranges that just doesnt do it right. This review is based off of experiences during visits over the last several years...The target hangers are cut too long, which leaves the target hanging way too low. An intelligent shooter will simply adjust it, but most people are just leaving their targets down and skipping rounds off the floor 15-20 yards downrange.A full time range safety officer would mitigate this, but Shoot Straight doesnt have them. This is probably also why people rent guns they are entirely unqualified to or unskilled with handling and resort to things like watching YouTube videos on how to load the magazines (true story).The rules say no rapid fire. Buy whats rapid fire? I had an employee, who appeared to be a teenage girl, insist that controlled pairs are rapid fire and against the rules. Ok, then...Perhaps dumber than the arbitrary enforcement of rapid fire is the no drawing from a holster rule. Now, Ive shot here before and never had an issue. Maybe it was just never noticed. But there really is no point to even be at the range if you arent practicing skills. Drawing, whether it is from concealment or a duty holster, is a critical and perishable skill. So if I cant draw... yea Im out. Its a waste of ammunition at that point.None of that even touches on the shop itself. You can do better in price and service.There are plenty of quality ranges and shops in South Florida... do yourself a favor and choose one of them over Shoot Straight. If youre just going to go out and blow through ammo then its fine... but if youre trying to be a better shooter you need to find a quality range.
Great indoor range with good selection of firearms for sale.
Average shop. Expensive. But I did have an annual pass to the range there. Which was very nice. That is for an indoor range, plus the fact that it was new. People were helpful, since I was a member... But I heard some people comment about the crap service they received. This was not the case with me. Again, I believe as I was in there often to use the range.
The range seems fine but came in here to buy and they simply refused. After standing over a counter containing what I wanted for quite some time I went and spoke to someone at the range counter. He told me they were too busy at the range to sell guns on a Tuesday afternoon. I left having wasted an hour on the drive and around 30 minutes at the store. Strange and very negative retail experience. Ill continue buying online for better prices.
Although Ive never bought anything here, the store itself seems fine.The range however doesnt let you draw from the holster or fire rapidly, for reasons unknown, regardless of your experience or level of training. Yet supervision is inconsistent, leaving inexperienced patrons momentarily unsupervised.Also the target hangers are too low and people skip rounds off the floor. You can adjust it to make your target higher, but theyll tell you to put it back down. Doesnt make sense to me but whatever, its not my range being destroyed.One time I went in with my AR to do hammered-pairs, speed reloads etc. putting the safety on and taking my finger off the trigger after every iteration, not breaking any safety rules, but after about 30 rounds I was told to stop doing that, while the person next to me fired a fully automatic submachine gun. yeah OK buddy.The only reason I can imagine anyone would continue to go here is just so they can say I shot a gun and it went bang. If youre serious about maintaining your skills and getting quality practice, find another range.
First time back since the shut down . It was nice having a spaced out range . It was aggravating checking in with ammo . The employee 2 feet across from me wasnt wearing a mask . Would have appreciated all employees wearing masks .
Very clean, organized and professional shop. Christian and RJ really helped me out as a first time buyer. Range is solid and Ill definitely be back for future practice and purchases.
