The class was great! Very helpful with showing us the ranges and all the guidelines to enjoy a safe and fun range experience. They even went over basics of drawing from a holster. I would recommend everyone to take this course.Fantastic group of people!Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, always helpful. Range facilities are nice and well kept.Membership discount and benefits are a nice addition. Excellent value for the cost.Highly recommend!

Great, friendly, knowledgeable people working here! good space/ multiple ranges to spread out. I would like to see some increased maintenance to protective berms and areas of sand, dirt and grass that lead to the side and back ranges. Recommend it for sure!

Everyone at Shoot GTR is very professional & knowledgeable! Our instructor Dean M. is beyond qualified to teach the Basic Handgun course. This course qualifies for the CWP and I highly recommend taking the course at Shoot GTR! They have a range of other courses available as well. Our class was very active & engaged, which made it easier to learn & more comfortable. We were all treated with respect and no one was treated in an unfair or different manner, regardless of the student’s experience. I will definitely be taking more courses there in the future. Thanks again Dean & all the staff at Shoot GTR!

Been using their facilities for a few months now. Finally took a conceal carry handgun course and had a great time doing so. Bill did a great job walking everyone through the information side as well as the range training.

Great staff, great range, very affordable, could not recommend it more. LOVE IT!

I love Shoot GTR! It’s a great outdoor facility with several ranges. I HIGHLY recommend taking their pro shooter course as you can bring guests for cheaper, have access to more of the ranges and get a better understanding of the facility and what it offers. I have worked with Janelle and Bill and they are both great instructors. I can’t wait to further my firearms training and become a better shooter.

Great group of professionals. They offer a safe location to practice firearms in addition to offering training. Id highly recommend any of their classes.

Well organised, clean, and safe range with fantastic courses and staff. I took the hand gun fundamentals course with Bill and learned so much! He is an incredibly knowledgeable teacher who was willing to answer all questions and help with technique on the range. Highly recommended GTR!

Great canceled carry fundamentals class. Bill had really thought out answers to my questions. The staff in the store were accommodating. I will definitely be going back.

Shoot GTR is an excellent place to train. Their instructors and staff are knowledgeable and helpful and their classes cater to all levels of experience. When seconds count, one never rises to the occasion, but falls to their level of training.Strongly recommend for their goods, services, and as an oasis of sanity in Gainesville/Alachua County.

I go to this range like every other day, its great I love it the staff are very professional and helpful. I like that if I want to I can rent a firearm I do wish they had a better selection of firearms to rent and a more ample supply of ammunition. But other then that I would recommend this range to anyone and advise the to get a member ship its worth the money especially if your going to go to the range as much as I do.

Instructions were easily relayed and understood. The combination of beginner and expert advice made the training more realistic and comforting. Im very satisfied with the course.

Amazing range and staff!! Extremely friendly and helpful and the range is set up perfectly!

Well maintained, good variety of ranges, not crowded.

Me, my wife, and my 11 year old son attended the conceal carry class by Bill Quirk. He was great in class & in range. we enjoy the whole experience. the guys at pro shop are all knowledgeable & very friendly. we are customer for life. Thank you Shoot GTR

Very good instruction by an experienced instructor. Recommended.

My wife and I attended the conceal carry class by Chris Wagoner. He is an excellent instructor! The class was very informative with practical lessons and lots of practice on the range. I highly recommend the class with Chris for anyone interested in a conceal carry permit. The gun shop personnel were also very professional and provided great advice on firearm selection. I will recommend Shoot GTR to all my friends.

Great service, had the pistol I have been looking for for weeks. Came all the way from Jacksonville and will be returning.

I can’t say enough about the education I received from the instructor Chris Wagner. From the moment I arrived until the moment we were finished he was able to get, keep, and hold my attention and that is no easy task for a class that was the better part of 7hrs long. Listen, if your looking to get your concealed GTR is the place to go and Chris is the instructor you will want to request. Thanks again Chris, you are awesome

Basic handgun-Fantastic class!Enjoyed the theoretical material our instructor, Chris, covered.The hands on section definitely helped build my confident.I learned a lot and very grateful I took this class.Highly recommend!

LolI will travel out of town to go to a good range where I will be treated equally.

Great staff, great range!

The ShootGTR instructor Chris Wagoner was a fantastic instructor! The private class with 3 of us was scheduled on a weekday. The cost was a little more but the ability to schedule it more quickly along with Chis attention to detail and ability to answer specific questions was perfect. Even though the class was small, we all had very different experience levels, concerns and questions all of which he happily addressed. On top of that, his obvious personal experience with legislative activities, with forensics, as an officer, and live training of law enforcement gave is all the added confidence that this was the course to take. On the range our confidence and comfort improved significantly as he patiently worked with our execution of the principles taught in class. Rookie to < 2 inch groupings by the end of the day. Great day!!

Spent a great Saturday at Shoot GTR. David Jones and the guys in the Pro Shop were friendly and helpful. I also took the Basix Handgun and Concealed Carry Course. Chris Wagoner, the instructor, was great. I learned a lot and got better in all aspects of gun handling and gun safety. I learned a lot about gun laws in Florida. I highly recommend the range and the course.

Took the concealed weapons class this past Saturday. The class material was presented in a professional manner. Chris Wagoner is a great instructor. He answered everyones questions and did an awesome job on the range portion with coaching each shooter. I highly recommend Shoot GTR for anyone considering taking this class or looking for a nice range to shoot at.

My son and I took the basic hand.gun/concealed carry class taught by Chris Wagoner. Chris did a wonderful job teaching us handgun safety, marksmanship, and Florida handgun law. My ability to hit the target grew much better with Chris teaching me the correct way to shoot. Awesome stuff. I highly recommend Chris as an instructor. I left a better handgun owner and excited about shooting after going through his class.

Wish an on-site EMT tech was on site during range times.

I took the concealed carry class from Chris at this range; it was a very informative class taught by a very knowledgeable person. Recommend taking it even if you don’t want a permit but just have one in the home for protection.

Watched the staff humiliate a customer the other day. I dont think I will be going back there.

I completed my concealed class with Jon, he is very knowledgeable and informative. He interacted with every student and made them feel comfortable with their firearms. My husband and I are also members here and shoot regularly we have never had anything other than great customer service. We’ve also bought firearms from here and after the transaction they were very helpful with any questions I had about the firearm.

I took the concealed carry certification class there this past Saturday, and it was amazing. Prior to the class, I had very little firearms experience, and no experience with handguns. By the time I left, I could confidently handle the Glock 17 I rented, and was able to shoot a fairly tight grouping. Not only do I now feel comfortable handling a firearm, but I also learned all the laws on firearm possession. The instructor, Chris Wagoner, spent a substantial amount of time going over Floridas laws in regards to weapon possession, carrying, and lethal force. As an added bonus, there is a free 6-month membership at the range included with the class, so I can continue to sharpen my skills.All in all, it was an excellent class, and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to learn how to safely defend themselves and their families.

Great class and instructor

Took the basic handgun course. Great range and Chris is a great instructor.

Great shooting range. Essentially learned how to shoot here by taking their basic handgun class. Good staff, dont know if Steven Botcher is still working at GTR, but he was a great instructor.For the money youre paying to shoot here, there should be a range officer around. I shot here roughly 6 months and rarely saw any employee checking the ranges or other shooters membership status.

Shoot GTR was my first experience at a gun range. I was very nervous, having only shot a shotgun at a skeet range before. However, Shoot GTR requires ALL shooters new to the facility to complete a 30-minute orientation class, which covers range safety, rules, and other details. It also includes a brief tour of the different ranges. Range A is for long guns and extends 100 yards, Range B is for handguns and .22 rifles and extends 25 yards, and Range C is a steel range that is also 25 yards but requires a special class to use. They also have private ranges for various purposes. The orientation made me very comfortable with range procedures and alleviated any anxiety I had been feeling.The range shop also offers eye and ear protection that you can borrow for free, target papers for a low price (they provide the target stands for free), and a host of other guns and accessories.I had a great time and spent 3 hours shooting on Range A. Instead of having an employee moderating the ranges, they leave it up to the shooters to handle it among themselves. This may sound sketchy, but everyone on the range has taken the orientation course and is familiar with the procedures. In my experience, this worked quite well and I never had an issue.For $20 for all-day shooting, this place is unbeatable. I ended up purchasing a 1-year membership because I loved it so much. The staff are incredible and very knowledgeable. I plan to be back often.

Called and asked if I can shoot a shotgun here so obviously I have never been. They said of course you can. Drove 50 mins to location to find out you cant shoot without taking class that only start at 1 and 3. Bunch of jokes at this place explains why range was empty.

Friendly, informative, and helpful staff. Only did the 200 yd range for my first go, excited to check out the whole property

I took the Basic Handgun/Concealed Carry class with Chris Wagoner on August 3 and really enjoyed it. I am a beginner so I was nervous going in. I was also a little apprehensive about sitting in a classroom from 9-6 on a Saturday, but Chris was such an engaging instructor that the day went by shockingly fast. When he took us out to the range, he was encouraging and helpful. It ended up being a really fun day and I learned a lot. I appreciated his time and encouragement and would definitely attend trainings with him in the future.When I was looking around for handgun training, I went with shoot GTR for a variety of reasons. Now that Ive spent some time there, Im most impressed by how friendly and willing to help everyone is. Everyone at Shoot GTR has been willing to answer a ton of questions and offer tips and advice. Again, Im a beginner so I appreciate that a lot!

No English, no service. Be aware, foreigners, if you can’t speak and understand English well, don’t come here. For safety purposes, you are not allowed to shoot here.Facility is good if you bring your own firearms otherwise they do provide pistol and rifle for rent. $15 for the pistol $20 for the rifle and $5 for exchanging a different gun with same caliber. However, one star off for the lack of choices for the rental firearms.No ear and eye protection are provided, so bring your own or you have to buy from the shop. Targets can be purchased around $1.5-2.5 at the shop or use your own but do remember to bring some duct tape to hold the target. They have stapler but charge$1 for that.Over all, it’s a nice place, but for an outdoor range, $25 day pass is a little pricy compared to other ranges I have been to. So if you like shooting, go for the monthly or annually membership.

My friend and I took the basic handgun training course organized by Chris Wagoner at ShootGTR in Gainesville. Chris is an very experienced high level professional trainer. We not only gained the gun shooting skills but also a lot of knowledge of gun laws. Strong recommend!

Awesome experience. Very knowledgeable staff, great customer service and team work. I enjoyed the basic handguns class with Chris Wagoner. He addressed all my questions, encouraged and invited confidence in his students. Excellent experience.

Great please

I took the Basic Handgun/Concealed Carry class with Chris Wagoner on and really enjoyed it. I am long time shooter but there was much information in the class that was new to me. In addition to Florida gun laws, I learned tricks to improve my groupings and walked away a better more informed gun owner.When buying a new every day carry, I went with shoot GTR for a variety of reasons. Im very impressed by how willing to help they are. Everyone has been willing to answer my questions and offer advice.

Chris W.’s concealing carrying class is super. Very useful for beginners like me

Excellent service, knowledgeable staff, large selection, great range. What else can you ask for??

I attended the basic handgun class on April 14: amazing! Learned a ton, love my second amendment right even more, and improved my skills in 1 hour! Mr. Wagoner is an outstanding instructor! Strongly recommend.PSThe guys at the store are very nice and welcoming. I was wearing my new citizen T-Shirt and received a lot of congrats and support.

Am on my second membership and plan to keep it as long as possible. All of their ranges are kept in top condition. The Staff and Management are all top-notch professionals who treat everyone I have ever seen there with dignity and respect. Their Pro Shop is very nice, and if they do not have what you are looking for in stock, they will order it for you right away. Could not ask for a better place to shoot.

THESE GUYS AN GIRLS ARE AWESOME! THEY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP ME WITH A PURCHASE. THEY ARE ACTUALLY THE ONES WHO POINTED ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND HELPED ME TAKE CARE OF THE PAPERWORK. NOT ONE OF THEM SEEMED TO GET AGITATED WITH ME EVEN THOUGH I HAD TO KEEP ASKING FOR HELP WITH THEIR COMPUTER. I DEALT WITH 4 PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE EXCHANGE AND EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS AS NICE AS COULD BE. PRICES ARE ABOUT AS GOOD AS YOULL FIND AND THEY ARENT STUCK UP EITHER. I ENJOYED MYSELF HANGING OUT IN THE PRO SHOP. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACL

Been a member for around a year. Maybe its because Im paying dues to them, but these people are still the nicest people youll ever meet in a gun store. None of the standard talking down to people because they dont live and breathe guns and can tell you how to break down every rifle ever made. They are nice, they are courteous, and Ive never had a bad experience with them. If you have the money, join up and experience being in the equivalent of a yacht club for gun owners.

Never had the pleasure to visit or shoot here, but Ive had a great experience with their Pro Shop/Customer Service and felt compelled to write.Most gun stores usually fall into one of two categories; good, polite service OR just plain rude (to the point where you wonder why theyre even in the business). But Brian (pro shop), and the rest of the crew, displayed a level of patience and courtesy that I have never experienced before...even when it was me making a mistake on my purchase.They take pride in their customer service and seem like they genuinely enjoy their jobs. I hope to deal with Gainesville Target Range again as it was very pleasant and reassuring experience!

If you are looking for a top notch range and pro-shop, this is the place. The staff are friendly, professional, and are always eager to assist. The range is one of the best I have seen around.

200 yard range. Helpful desk staff. Best public facilities in area.

Awesome place overall. I recently took the Conceal Carry Course and it was very informative and the instructor took his time to ensure we were properly trained and educated on gun safety. If your looking for a friendly place to learn and grow this is the place for you!!

Never had a bad experience here. Ali and the gang are all awesome. Safe, friendly staff. Highly recommend this range and shop.

Staff was a bit condescending because Im new and look young. Price for range time was good, safety class was comprehensive. Ill give them another try soon.

First time in a 2 gun competition, I really enjoyed it. I was really nervous about it at first but everyone was really nice/ patient and willing to help with good advices! Hoping to go back soon 😊 Janelle and Mike were great instructos I really learned a lot from them. Thanks a bunch #pewpew

Coming here for ten years. Keeps getting better and better. Not expensive and Military discounts available. Don’t hold back!

I will never return to this location I felt so unwelcome. I spoke twice to the rep at the counter an received no response back, I just walked out after being told about the class by another female rep bc I had missed the time of the class. Customer service from the tall curly hair gentleman was very unacceptable.

Staff is knowledgable and helpful. I would and have recommend G.T.R. to friends, and will continue to patrionize them. Courtland is very patient with helping me on the suppressor acquisition. I was taken back at the what I consider to exorbitant fee charged to advertise their business. The other store I used to patronize gave them to me. Other than that one item, I really like the facility.

This place is amazing! By far my favorite range ever!I moved to Gainesville and wanted to teach my girlfriend to shoot, we came in for the training class needed to use the range and it was a great learning experience for myself and my girlfriend!The staff was so amazing, they helped me set up the sidearm we had just purchased, looked it over made sure it was clean and attached the laser sight / flashlight attachment that we purchased at the same time while my girlfriend and I took the basic training course to use the range. After that we shot for a few hours using the commands appropriate for range firing.When I went home to clean my gun the slide wouldn’t go back on. After bringing it in they realized that we had put the attachment on too tight and it was blocking the slide from moving back far enough to re-attach! For the record all of this was free and the staff actually cared enough to make sure the sidearm was in full working order for home defense.Because of this great experience my girlfriend and I decided to take the basic handgun 1 class. Wow was this an amazing experience. We were doing it because we just moved to Gainesville and wanted to get our CWLs. I cannot sing the praises of this class enough.Chris Wagner is the man. I cannot repeat this enough. CHRIS WAGNER is the best handgun trainer I have ever met. He teaches handgun safety and shooting to the Gainesville police, and after taking Basic Handgun 1 I can see why. I wouldn’t say I’m a novice shooter, but he taught me things I will use from now on during this course. It was amazing, I understand now why the Gainesville police force uses him as an instructor.Before this course my girlfriend was a little apprehensive around the sidearm. Chris literally took her by the hand during the shooting portion of the class and made sure she understood how to safely pull the trigger, how to aim properly, and how to safely interact with the weapon. When she hit the target in the chest area that was designated to aim for, she literally jumped for joy. Now she totally understands weapons are a tool for good and embraces them.Because of Chris Wagner and shoot straight my girlfriend really enjoys coming to the range, and I can’t thank them enough.Prices are great and instructors and staff are amazing. By far my favorite range ever!

Very nice and knowledgeable staff, helped me get what I needed at a fair price

It seems to have a lot of rules but that is necessary for safety. Nice facility.

People are nice, friendly, and professional. This unsupervised range is the best of best in Gainesville, or North Florida.

Awesome facility ... Professionally staffed ... The best in the area!

Instructions were clear and with a very well informed staff

Great service and competitive prices!

Best experience Id had in a range, staff is lovely

Best unsupervised range in Florida!

Reporting a legal transfer to ATF because you dont know what is vs isnt legal is a good way to alienate your client base.

Awesome instructionSafe range to shoot

Great place to shoot.

Great range, great shop, great staff.

Polite AND not pushy

The best in Florida

Great place

Hank strange sent me.
