Question 2

How much are the classes and do you make you own schedule so it won't enterfear with your job

Nae K · Accepted Answer

My grandson and I went in 2017, it was a great experience. Seems like a family business,the instructor was a no nonsense,down to earth  ,personable gentlemen,he wasn’t stiff or hard, but you didn’t shoot until you learned. Now its 2020 and I’m gonna call tomorrow,i have a new gun and want proper professional guidance about it,when i took my grandson i picked from available time slots and i paid in advance,only because it was a surprise for his birthday. I’m pretty sure you wont be displeased when you go.

Question 5

What is the legal age to rent a firearm at the range as well as the other services such as a lane? Want to come here Saturday. Is there a picture of the firearms we are allowed to rent?

Malcolm Aldridge · Accepted Answer

I saw some kids with there parents shooting in the range last time I went. Not sure if age limits.  Firearms vary and are your basic , all glocks, a couple Smith n Wesson, sig sauer, etc.

Ryan Dale · Answer

Not to great of a selection on firearms but there is enough to have fun. Very strict on rules and regulations but overall a good range. As far as I know 18 for rifles and 21 for handguns. Make sure rifles have a case when entering if not they definitely will scream like your a criminal.

Question 6

Do I need to reserve a bay ahead of time?

Rusty Shackleford · Accepted Answer

Hi Sam, I did not reserve ahead of time.   They have maybe 8 lanes.  I had no wait.  But, it wouldn’t hurt to call and check in case they’re doing a class.

Question 7

Do you have to bring your own hearing protection and safety glasses or do y'all have some that can be rented

Jp C · Accepted Answer

They do have eye protection and ear protection if you need it. You can rent it. I think it's $1 for safety glasses and Less than that for earplugs. You can get your own safety glasses and earplugs at any hardware store but if you forget then they do have them for you. The Marksman is an awesome shooting range with very skilled employees. I love going there. They also offer concealed carry permit classes and safety classes.
 Give the Marksman some love,
   JP.
