What Our Guests are Saying!
Came in for the first time to take their Concealed Carry class with Eric, it was great! I plan on coming back to make a purchase or 2 and use the range. Seems like a great place.

I had an amazing experience at Blackstone and I wanted to give Ron a shoutout. He was absolutely incredible. I brought some family to have their first shooting experience and he was great. Walked us through all the safety practices , explained how to safely handle a gun, how to shoot, and he made the experience totally worth it. Ron, thank you so much!

I took the ladies training class and a personal instruction class with Emily and she is great to work with. She explains things very clearly and provides great feedback. I look forward to taking another lesson with Emily.
