THIS IS FUNNY

by chuck combs at Citysearch

I HAVE BEEN TO THIS RANGE 5 OR 6 TIMES OVER THE YEARS.

EVERY TIME I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT EXCEPTION I HAVE SEEN THE MEN AND WOMAN WHO RUN THIS MUD HOLE TREAT THEIR "CUSTOMERS" LIKE CRAP.

AND I AINT NO FREAKIN REALATO OR DEVELOPER !!!!!

I AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT THAT IT IS A GUN RANGE AND STRICT SAFETY RULES HAVE TO BE ENFORCED, I AM ALL FOR THAT.. BUT !

THAT AL GUY IS A TOTAL A-HOLE JERK. THE LAST TIME I WENT 2 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH MY SON ASKED TO BUY NOT BE GIVEN BUT BUY ANOTHER TARGET. AL WENT OFF AND STARTED SCREAMING AT HIM. WHEN I GOT INVOLVED HE THREATENED TO HAVE ME ARRESTED AND I PROCEEDED TO TELL HIM ABOUT LIFE AND LIBERTY AND THE PERSUIT OF GETTING YOUR ASS KICKED HE BACKED OFF AND WANTED TO SHAKE MY HAND .. WE GATHERED OUR THINGS AND LEFT AND I CALLED THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT...

THE GUY DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS OUR TREAT HIS CUSTOMERS AND THE ONLY REASON HE IS STILL IN BUSINESS IS BECAUSE OF HIS CUST0MERS WHO GO THERE BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU HAVE TO DRIVE 45 MINUTES..

WHICH I DO , TEXAS CITY IS MUCH BETTER AND WORTH THE DRIVE..

I WISH SOMEONE WOULD SHUT THAT PLACE DOWN AND BUILD SOMETHING, AL DOES NOT DESERVE A BUSINESS..

NO DOUBT HE KNOWS GUNS AND HOW TO WORK ON THEM BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TALK TO PEOPLE.

It's a gun range

by vduck at Citysearch

Yes, there are nacer gun ranges. There are ranges with more shooting stations, and some where you do not need to walk to the target to change them or learn your results. Yes, the owner had a bad time in his life when he was easly upset. However, his first goal is SAFETY. Yes, I have seen him get very upset when someone breaks his SAFETY RULES. You don't like SAFETY RULES? DO you want to get Shot? He is trying his best to do what He thinks is right. Yes, I go to other ranges, but I also keep returning to this range.

• Pros: handy, safe, and a gun range
• Cons: Not ultra-modern and fancy

Some of the reviews are well....skewed.

by tmanbuckhuner at Citysearch

The range is pretty good, not the best but good. Me and my father go there all the time, and are pretty well known. We have had no problems out at the range and have had 0 run ins with Al or any of his employee's. I must admit I have seen Al get out of hand and do things I think he should not have done, but this is a gun range that has a set of rules people. A gun range is not a safe place, and if the rules aren't followed then someone could get hurt or even death could be an issue and I don't blame him for yelling at people who decide to break the rules. One problem with the place is the fact mostly the way the targets are hung up, the boards are always getting shot to pieces from people who don't know how to shoot. At 100 yards they used to allow you to use clips to hang the target but idiots thought it would be funny to shoot them off, so I would recommend bringing your stapler because some like to hog it. If you just want to go put a hole in some paper, clear creek gun range can get it done. Do your part and the staff will do theirs...

• Pros: Close, and safe.
• Cons: Sometimes muddy, and and more listed in details.

Not a good gun range

by Tracker1 at Citysearch

I have been to this range but will never go again. I would advise anyone who has not gone here to look at all of the reviews on this web page, as well as reviews on the many other web pages referring to this range, and see what is consistent about how people were treated. Use common sense to figure out what is really going on and what to expect should you decide to go here. Ask yourself why you should spend the money and time on something that has so many negatives associated with it when there are so many alternative choices available?

• Pros: Nothing positive
• Cons: Bad treatment of customers

Gun Range

by Bill9840 at Citysearch

I have used this gun range 2 times. Very courterous and helpful. I do not know about the negative comments but there was nothing but good both times I went. Plan on taking my grandson there in 2 days.

• Pros: Plenty of slots and friendly operators

It really is a good place to get your CHL

by comrade1313 at Citysearch

It was an all and all good experience. Of course people might say it took forever and was boring, but you have to be there for a certain amount of time so deal with it. Al kept the lesson light and fun. Al explained the legal proceeding so everyone could understand. I don't know about the negative reviews this place has received, but i believe its from some hot-heads not being safe and were thrown out. Excellent place.

• Pros: Instructor tried to make the process as painful as possible
• Cons: none.

Never too old to learn

by twisener at Citysearch

I was very glad I found this place. My husband died not long ago,and with it, went my sence of security. I was now "home alone" and very much afraid living in the country. My girlfriend talked me into signing up to get my CHL license at Al's gun range. I did not think I could do it, but I went anyway fighting back my fears. Not only did I make 100 on my test, and did well on the shooting range, I now have regained confidence and know I can protect myself. My husband would have been so proud of me. Mr. Al was very understanding at my fears and helped me accomplish what I set out to do. I can not thank him enough. I encourage other women to be able to protect themself and feel better about living alone.

• Pros: they can even teach women
• Cons: none that I can see

Friendly gun Range

by tallcowboy09 at Citysearch

I just finished my CHL class with instructor Al. That man rocks with knowledge about guns and the law. I had a lot of questions to ask and Al answered all of them in a most friendly manner. I did not feel rushed or feel as if my questions were silly. This was my first tirp to the range and I saw a lot of work in progress to fix the place up, Al also mentioned adding a store to the gun range where he will sell lamps, mirrors frames, with guns on them. Please don't tell my wife about the store.

I also do not understand the negative things that were said about this man or his range. I will sign up my family soon for his class and tell my friends. Thanks, Al

I learned a lot from you and appreciate the time you took for me.

• Pros: giving the range a face lift
• Cons: gravel road

I'm going back and recommend you give it a try...

by AMallett at Citysearch

I want to start out by saying I took the CHL class this past weekend and had nothing but an enjoyable experience. Initially I thought I was going to be the only female and was nervous about paticipating in the class, once I met Al I felt at ease and his confidence wore on me. He is extremely knowledgeable and very quick to assist and answered all of the questions we had without hesitation or talking "down" to any of us.

I read alot of the other reviews and can't relate to any of the negative remarks made. I enjoyed myself and look forward to going back!

• Pros: Wonderful instructor
• Cons: The dirt road...

GOOD PLACE

by BShepherd at Citysearch

Took a gun class from AL April 4th 2009. He bent over backwards to help every one. His knowledge is incredible and his real approach to having a handgun is practical and reassuring. The things I have read on the Internet are WRONG. I plan go go back and take my daughter and get AL to show her the right way to handle a handgun. They are not snooty and are willing to work with the novice shooters as much as with the experts.

• Pros: Friendly not stuckup and offers help to all on gun safety.
• Cons: Not the Hilton but they are working on the place
