Vinnie AKA Hammer is the best guy ever. He is always there to help us and always puts his customers first. Vinnie is always a happy guy and a big jokester (best part about him). When he sells you a gun he always keeps in contact with you to make sure you got a call for approval. He makes going to the shore shot pistol range a great time.Keep up the GREAT work Vinnie!!!!
Best range I’ve been to in NJ hands down. Extremely friendly and comfortable. Also a legit shop and one stop if you need anything. I’ve been around the state and the vibe of ShoreShot is top notch. There are a number of closer ranges and I don’t think twice about taking the drive to SS!
My entire experience there was absolutely amazing. From my phone calls of asking questions to actually going to the store was a complete pleasure. In my life, I do not believe Ive ever had such a great customer experience. Joe D. and Vinnie M. were absolutely amazing. And, Leo, too! I felt like I was at home there. Id also like to thank Kyle for his excellent assistance. The staff there is truly amazing. I am a first time gun buyer and I will continually be a Shore Shot customer. Thank you for making this a great experience.
I just want to say everyone who works there is very nice and helpful. I enjoyed my experience. They will always get my business!
I have been here several times. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the range cadres will help you with any technical questions, you can rent a weapon on the spot or bring your own. They will even clean your own weapon for you after your done for a small fee. I took my daughter here with her friend and taught them how to shoot, it’s a great range to learn. I highly recommend this place.
I stopped by the range to discuss my interest in an AR-15 style firearm that is NJ compliant. I explained to Kyle what I was looking for and he immediately recognized that the gun I was describing fell between a rifle and a pistol or the so-called ‘other’ category in NJ. He then proceeded to show me the exact set-up I was looking for from a highly respected company that had just arrived at the range. Everyone I dealt with was highly knowledgeable and very efficient at completing the paperwork and getting my background check started. They even laminated my firearms ID card during the process of completing the purchase. The knowledge, experience, and customer service was outstanding and could not have been better. I will definitely be doing business with them for my firearm purchases in the future. Very well run knowledgeable shop that deserves a 5 start recommendation!!
This place was an absolute blast, pun intended.. the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The range itself was a ton of fun, felt safe and confident with the range staff. I highly recommend Shore Shot.
I was there today with my buddy. The staff was friendly, range master Paul was a good guy. He saw my buddy was having some issues with his Desert Eagle and he helped him out. He adjusted his sights, and did some cleaning for him. It was a great experience for it being my first time. I will be back again sometime next week to purchase my own handgun.
Amazing place great Selection of guns the amo is a bit pricey but we’ll worth it and they have amazing customer service really enjoyed!!!
I have visited this range more than a handful of times and have had such a pleasant experience each time. All the workers are professional and courteous and readily provide tips to make me and my husbands experience as awesome as possible. We have been very impressed with this range and are now members. Thank you!
I just wanted to send a thank you out to Danny for the training class my wife, daughter, and myself attended last Sunday.It was very informative. Danny class gave them confidence and a new perspective on firearms.They were always hesitant about them.He made my wife and daughter feel very comfortable being it was there first time using a weapon. He took his time and was very patient with them. He explained things in detail, answered all questions, and gave them a good sense of security about firearms. Im glad they came with me, and Im glad you have an instructor of his expertise at the range.
Im giving 4 stars because everyone here at Shore Shot are very helpful and knowledgeable. The range is kept very clean and is a nice place to shoot at. Garrett the range instructor was fantastic. Very informative and full of knowledge to pass on to us newbies.. Only advice I would give someone new coming in is there is a shortage on ammo right now so it is very expensive. And obviously there are all different sized shells depending upon the gun so not all ammo is priced the same for each gun. We left the gun choice up to the gentlemen checking us in and was a little surprised when just the ammo was $183.00. So again I would advise to find out how much the ammo will be for the gun you are choosing so you are not caught off guard. Other then that Shore Shot is a great place to come and learn how to shoot or for an experienced shooter.
Good people. Friendly staff. Best selection in 50 mile radius, treat newbies with respect. Clean range. Fair prices. Highly recommend.
Well I gotta tell ya, I came in on Saturday to make a purchase and you guys are awesome. The wait to get in wasn’t all that bad, had some friendly conversations outside with some folks so it was all good. And the guys working inside are f@$king great. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and always having a good time and making it enjoyable for us. I’ll be back later in the week to make another purchase because I fell in love with that Black Aces bull pup 12ga pump 😏
I want to thank Dan and all the guys at Sure Shot for being so helpful. I bought some cleaning supplies for my new Glock and they took the time to make sure I could clean and reassemble it properly. Great customer service. I highly recommend them!
Went here for the first time and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Excellent customer service and had a great time! Highly recommend Shore Shot!!
Ive been to a few ranges across the state and in Pennsylvania, and Ive had the best experience here. First off when I walked through the door on a Saturday after noon and saw the places crowded I figured I was going to have to fight for some help to get a range rental and a lane. Scott saw me and gave me a sign to hold on 1 minute as he finished up with his customer. Had a great conversation with him and has some recommendations on a fire arm for my wife as she was looking. I just cant emphasis enough how polite and nice everyone was. Rangemasters gave my wife some pointers and tips that I failed to jump on, all without being intrusive. Huge thanks to Scott (sales) for the help and recommendations. I WILL be back.
Great place to practice! Friendly & knowledgeable staff throughout. We Definitely recommend this range for some fun!
I can’t recommend shore shot enough. As someone who is newly interested in firearms, the people at Shore Shot make you feel welcome. Everyone is more than happy to help and teach when you ask. Dylan was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable when I decided I wanted to purchase a gun as well.
Great staff very friendly and helpful, they were very eager to help when we came for the first time to there store and range, After having a terrible experience at a different shop they made it so easy for us to experience a gun range for the first time and making purchases with them ! thank you !
Top notch men and women,cant say enough.
We went to Shore Shot Pistol Rande on Sunday to look at some firearms I was planning to purchaseThe staff was very receptive and spent the time to explain the models I was looking at and assisted me in making the right choice for my needsThey took the time to stay with me and let me fire the weapon in there heated indoor range before I purchased the Firearm. Sort of try before you buy to insure you are comfortable with your purchase.There was no high pressure sales and I was extremely satisfied with my purchase and the staffI will definitely recommend anyone looking to buy or just try out a firearm to check them out first. You will not have to look any further..A very satisfied customer...
Sure Shot is hands down the best indoor range around. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, prices are more reasonable than industry standard. Definitely recommend
Had the best experience with Shore Shot... they were able to get me the firearm I wanted and answer any and all questions I had. I will definitely be back as will all my family members for any of their needs. Thank you again!
Place is fantastic. Helpful staff.
I bought my first gun and transferred a couple to them every time a flawless experience staff is always helpful knowledgeable! They run a very tight ship and will send my fellow gun owners to them! This is my trusted gun dealer/range! Best gun dealer/range in New Jersey!
Being a new owner of a firearm, and have gone to other places for help on what gun to purchase. The staff at Shore Shot was by far the most helpful and patient I have ever dealt with. Definitely recommended.
This place is awesome, they have very helpful staff. I dropped off an non compliant ar kit which they welded a muzzle break (that I was able to purchase in the store) pinned the stock and shaved the bayonet lug to make it all Jersey compliant and I have to say they did a very nice job, had it all done in a few days. Thank you to the armorers and staff for all your help and professional work. I am very satisfied with the work, well worth the money.
Amazing gunshop. cannot say enough good things about this store. they have a ton of cool gear and have a good amount of inventory even during covid. employees are gentleman - you can tell they care about their customers and are passionate about the service they provide. knowledgable and super friendly staff to say the least. they were patient and willing to take apart the gun with me and show me the machinery. shoutout Chris and Joe, coolest guys around. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, first time gun buyers included. thanks. Ill be seeing you guys soon.
These guys are great! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Been coming here over 15 years for all my firearm needs.
Called this business to inquire about a gun that wanted which they had in stock. Went to the business and was helped by Bill which was very helpful. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would recommend this business to friends and family. I will definitely be coming back in the future.
Good service and good stock for the times. Somewhat understaffed, creating wait times and some confusion, but good experience overall once you get in the door.
Place is great! Guys are all laid back, unless safety related. Very good for novice shooters just starting off, as staff is knowledgeable. Theyre very open to being asked questions, even if its your own equipment you bring. The last time I was there a while ago, someone seemed like the gun jammed (I dont know for a fact) but range master went right out and passively took the gun from them, and fixed it. This is what new shooters, and even veterans that might slip up, need. Saved the guy (or the guy next to him) from a probable accidental discharge. Great job guys! Glad youre open for range again!
Great experience and services by varies staff. Ive been going there on and off due to my work schedule. But every time Ive been there, the staff that Ive encountered are friendly and helpful. At times, theyre overwhelmed with other customers, but you need to be patient. Its your local mom and pop business, and the staff is doing their best to accommodate everyone. Prices are reasonable what and wide selection of firearms. If you plan on stopping by, say Hi to Kyle, Bill, Joe and Dylan. Theyre a bunch of wonderful staff to talk to.
Im revising my last review from December 2020, because I noticed when I went today and last week they increased their Covid-19 safety protocols. The added a sign in kiosk outside so they can social distance correctly inside. I notice all of the staff is wearing their face mask correctly. The staff is always friendly and helpful in the store and on the range, I recommend being a member.
You’d be a fool to go anywhere else. Hammer is one of the nicest/ funniest salesman I’ve ever dealt with. I told them I had a budget and he helped me stay inside of it. Highly recommend these guys
Great shop and range. They are insanely busy right now because of covid restrictions and the current demand for all things 2nd amendment (dont vote against it if now you want it so bad btw). However, they are working hard and when you are working that hard it takes a lot of energy to still be pleasant and accommodating, which they have been. Been a customer for years and always a pleasant experience.
Came in today. Dylan was awesome super helpful. Very knowledgeable !!! Because of him I’ll be coming back often
The staff is top notch. I had a beginners lesson with Darrel and he did a great job of explaining everything and answered all my questions. Highly recommend to anyone, it’s always nice to see such a high level of customer service.
Relaxing Atmosphere, Great Instructors. Excellent Customer Service from the Crew on the Front Desk. I Drive An Hour to Come Here with Multiple Ranges Near Me.
Great inventory for both purchasing and rental for the attached range. Well staffed with knowledgeable employees. A great place to get informed and learn. They are always happy to explain the background info on the products and seem very happy to have your business. I’ve purchased several firearms there and learned to handle them in the range.
Fantastic range with very attentive and knowledgeable staff that take your safety very seriously. They follow covid-19 guidelines and are very helpful to new shooters.
Great store and range... ShoreShot is my go to. They always have a great selection of firearms and if they don’t have it they’ll find it for you. The range is always immaculate and the staff is very helpful and friendly.
Guys there are very knowledgeable about their product and are all around professional and courteous. Great group of people.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff ready to answer any questions you may have.
Shore Shot has evolved very well over the years. It is conveniently located and they have great hours. They are now much more than just a pistol range. You can rent a gun from their great assortment of firearms and head to their refurbished indoor range. You can bring your own gun(s) and use the range. But wait, there’s more. The staff is fantastic! They don’t have the typical gun shop attitude. They will help you select the best gun for you - yes they sell guns as well. I bought a new pistol and figured that it might take me around 20 rounds to zero it in. Well, a staff member took the gun and adjusted the dovetail rear sight for me. No charge. I then took it to their range and my very first shot was perfect - accurate at 7yds, 10yds and 20yds. I fully expected to have their gunsmith fine tune the sights but their staff did it in 5 minutes. BTW - I’m told you can now use rifles at their range so I’ll be heading back with my AR. Shore Shot is really a great place. Thanks guys !
Does anyone know if shore shot allows you to bring your own shotgun on the premises? Thanks to the owner for getting back to me . This wouldnt let me reply so I edited my initial question. They wouldnt let me post my question without posting a star. Sorry if you got upset, I didnt mean anything by it.
Absolutely love Shore Shot, super knowledgeable staff. Shout out to the range master that helped me sight in a new holo red dot scope for me. Highly recommend!
Great facility, helpful staff that is very knowledgeable! They are patient and help any beginners that want to learn how to safely operate a firearm. Highly recommended will surely be back!
This place is very unprofessional. My friend and I who came here for the first time were told that once we put our name and number on the kiosk we would be called when it’s our turn. We waited over an hour in the car and never got called and when we came back to the front the other people waiting told us they had just been letting everyone come in if they were there to shoot (what is the point of a list if they are not following the order??) the employee was very rude and rolled his eyes when I asked him what was going on with the list. I will not be coming back and not recommending this place to anyone.
Been here a few times.Have never been disappointed!They have a large selection of rentals, and the ammo is reasonably priced.Craig and Bill were extremely helpful!
Nice place, very helpful range safety officers.
Love the range coach, great staff, and best of all very very safe. What a great place to fire off some round while being safe.Semper Fi
Nice facility plenty of options to shoot or you can bring your own good inventory for sale. One of the owners is usually on site.
Good shop. Nice lanes. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.
We took my son there this evening. Staff was amazing! Super helpful (Thank you Tony). We cannot wait till our next visit!
I’m new to the gun buying process and have visited several gun shops in Jersey over the past few months. Hands down, Shore Shot provided the best customer service and experience. They earned my business!
First time shooter and it was a great experience! Special thanks to Tony and Bill for all the help!! Fun time
Nice and friendly staff!
Amazing people, went with my wife and we had a great time. Everyone in there are so nice and respectful. Thank you 👏🙌
Went for the first time anywhere, very organized place and as a beginner I want to thank Tony for helping me and my son with very clear instruction on safety and how to use my weapon. Will definitely be back and recommend shore shot.
Helpful staff in the range. Sales people could be mire straightforward. Pricing is not transparent.
Please and clean, parking lot full of cars and still plenty of parking, at time of visit out of bullets for my Beretta 9.
Friendly and helpful staff, reasonable prices, great experience. Good jobs guys!
Great place to go for all your firearm needs. Great staff too and very friendly environment.
A few months ago I went here for the first time. It was my first time holding a gun, and though I was nervous the guys behind the counter were extremely helpful and accommodating. I have shot multiple different guns here and the guys never hesitate to give you a demo. They truly want you to have a good experience, and they even tried to check if we were eligible for a discount based on our occupations. It isn’t a cheap day, costing us probably $80 each, but the quality of the range and service make it worthwhile. We will be returning for their anniversary day to get some discounted memberships. I couldn’t ask for a better range experience, and I am glad to have found my interest in shooting through Shore Shot.
Great place but you cant use ammo with steel casings. They were charging 39.00 for a box of .40 cal. Friendly ppl
The Best range in ocean county
The range I go to most often. Laid back staff, so its a good place to go if you just want to get some quick practice on your own guns. Havent purchased any firearms from them yet, but I did inquire about a Mosin-Nagant, and they said they could get one for me without any problem, so maybe next year Ill take them up on it. Overall a great place.
The range master Ray, Timmy and all the guys at Shore Shot are incredibly helpful! We are beginners and always feel like we can ask questions and get the help we need to become more proficient and safe while learning. We even bring our teenage boys with us and Ray is always there to help them and inspire them to learn more about each gun and how to handle them. When you walk in, they make you feel welcome and like you are family. Highly, highly recommend Shore Shot.
Shore shot is one of the only non member friendly ranges in the area. Plenty of lanes, fair pricing on ammo (comparable to other gunshops)- and excellent staff and range masters that are actively participating in engaging with newcomers- and growing relationships with return clients.Would recommend to anyone looking to utilize a range as a non member/not frequent range goer.
The armourer was paid to replace a stock sight on a hand gun with a better version. He replaced it but didn’t put the new sight in the right spot so now I have to go to another shop and readjust the sight. If you need any work done on your firearms, stay away from this place.
The staff here is great. Extremely helpful and made us feel comfortable. Reasonably priced too.
Amazing time! Everyone was super friendly and nice. Would recommend to anyone who isn’t familiar with guns because they do help a lot with everything and continue to check on you.
Went to the indoor range on 8/5/17 with my girlfriend. Although it was getting slightly busy when we arrived Dan was attentive and pleasurable. We rented 2- 9MM and box of ammo which came to almost 90.00, 28.00 of that for a box of ammo-Yikes! That is my only complaint about this place.This was our first time shooting. When we went into the range Mike, he is the man had the most superb customer service I have encountered in a long time. He was knowledgeable, helpful, super friendly and funny. Mike makes you feel at home and at ease because of his approach and humbleness. I would def return again and I hope Mike is there too, I hope you guys encounter Mike on your visit, he ROCKS..Def recommend this place.
Polite and professional staff at the desk and on the range. Good prices for walk-ins and rentals. The range controllers are very helpful and dont hesitate to give some tips for new shooters. The facility is clean and looks very nice. Would recommend and come here again!
Friendly, knowledgeable group of gentleman. Helped me with all my questions.
Great time, took my little brother for his 18th he is in the army and the staff took care of us like family. Super accommodating to anything you may need. Ten out of ten going back.
I had an amazing time. Can’t wait to go back.
Friendly staff. Good prices.
Great night out with friends. All the guys here are super knowledgeable and really great teachers. It was our first time and they were great with recommendations and guidance. You can really tell they love their jobs and have a real passion for this. We will definitely be back!
Great staff.
Very Friendly Service, Great Guys to Buy your Firearm.. They Take the Time to help out Beginners..
Stopped in on a whim because I was up that way, went to the counter and asked for cheap range ammo.$24.95 for 50 rounds of 9 mm FMJ???5 miles up the road, $1195.Not for nothing, but I get 50 rounds of 9 mm critical defense hollow point 147 grain for less than $24.95Edit to respond to owner: I wasnt told 1995, I was told 2495. As far as with a firearms ID card, of course I have a firearms ID card It is the only way you can buy 9 mm ammo you should know that.I dont want to pay for insurance or instruction, I just want to pay for ammo so I can go out to my own little corner of the world and murder some cardboard.
Love this place. Staff is very professional, always feel safe coming here for target practice. Joe & Dan helped me out a ton!
Was a great experience! Staff was very courteous and friendly. Guns and equipment were very clean and well kept. Not too bad of a price either! A plus was that their website was very accurate. Excellent establishment!
Visited a few times. For the first time, I brought my legally purchased brand new SW M&P 9mm. I was nervous since I hadnt shot a gun in several years and wanted to make sure I didnt injure myself or anyone else. They were extremely helpful on providing me with a video to watch as well as the Range Master took his time to show me the ins and outs of using my own gun for the very first time. Every time I go they are super friendly and knowledgeable!
The best range Ive ever been to
Went there yesterday with some friends and it was my first time at a gun range. The staff were exceptionally professional and very helpful. I had 2 instructors showing me how all the tricks and most importantly how to stay save. I had an amazing few hours and I cant wait to go back !
They are friendly and helpful. I needed some help with a complicated weapon and targeting in a set of optics. They were awesome and refreshed us enough with the weapon to where everyone was comfortable. Best place Ive been to in NJ.
My wife and I have gone to Shore Shot quite a few times and have always enjoyed ourselves on the range. The first time we went neither of us had fired a handgun before and the range masters could not have been nicer, more informative, or more helpful. It was exactly the experience you hope for when trying something out for the first time. In addition the range master was EXCITED about us getting into shooting and told us about some external sources, books and classes, to expand our knowledge about safety and ownership. Often you dont think of the instructor excitement level, but would you really feel safe sky diving or bungee jumping if the instructor was well informed but indifferent to your experience?
I have never had a bad experience in my time going. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and the selection of firearms is excellent.
Went here with a groupon with 3 of my friends. We walked in, they were super helpful and answered many questions. Weve never really shot before and they taught us all the safety and proper usage on the weapons. Very nice and cool staff, definite recommendation. Especially for first time shooters!!
