Private membership that is so much more than just classic cars and handguns. But really a community. I love cigars and hands down, this is one of the best cigar lounges I been to. It’s well ventilated, large selection (you can even bring your own cigars to smoke without cover), amazing views of the American diners with classic cars and view of the gun range I love what Tim Miller the owner did to build what I would call every little boy’s and maybe some girls dream man/woman cave

We were invited to a birthday event that included food/drink service and range shooting at this place. Unbeknownst to me, the check-in desk staff gave me a beige wrist band as part of the party group but forgot to give me a pink wristband indicating participation in this shooting. Their safety protocol is if you walk in and don’t get that wristband, then they have to assume you consumed alcohol (even though I didn’t) and therefore cannot go down to the range to shoot. Their excuse was that I wasn’t on the list. I have zero issues with the policy but if you see someone with a firearm bag checking in for an event you might want to check and ask because in the end I couldn’t participate. The food was tasteless. The only positives were the company we were with and the helpful bartender. Don’t waste your time here. UPDATE As a follow up to their reply regarding 20 people capacity, I’m told by the host that 18 people participated in the shooting. If that’s the case then certainly one more participant should have been ok. But regardless, I respect safety rules. All you had to tell me at the front desk is "hey, we’re sorry but we are at capacity". That obviously never happened. Instead I walked in with my firearm bag thinking I’m participating. Just own your error and stop blaming the host.

My boss who is a member took some of us here to have an evening of shooting eating. It's an awesome shooting range with instructors in the shooting range with you. They offer guidance and help you with any issues you may have. After shooting we all gathered in the dining area for an incredible dinner. I had the rib eye cooked to perfection. After dinner we went into the saloon to have a few drinks and play pool and shuffle board. They also have a cigar lounge if you want to smoke a cigar. All in all if I could afford it I would join in a heart beat.

Recently attended an event here. Was amazed at the overall quality and beauty of this establishment. There was detail galore throughout this place to amaze one’s gun or hot rod appeal. We were catered during the event which was not bad. Refried beans were probably the one real major disappointment in the meal. The other items were lacking good seasoning and flavor. The exception, was the backed chicken, pretty darn good. The adult beverages were a bit light handed on the pour. The service could have had some better holiday cheer, but overall not poor. Didn’t have a chance to utilize their shooting range or services, but looked great! It’s a gem in the middle of an industrial park area. Look it up and see what they offer and check it out.

A fantastic setting to practice shooting. The entire place is beautiful decorated with neat hot rods throughout. Good food and friendly staff. A very organized outfit.

The Staff is mostly friendly. There is one range Marshall who is cold and rude. They lock you up in a contract for a year. I asked to be let out due to an injury where I cannot shoot and they insist on charging me for the year. In my opinion it's not worth the cost.

If you read through all of the positive reviews, 90% of them are written by guests/non members or people who attended a non-member event. It is a really cool place to visit, however they have horrible prices and policies. I joined years ago, and every year everything about the club got worse and more expensive. You would think $400/month might get you something, such as a food credit or some ammo. What it gets you is the opportunity to pay another $50 a month on food and beverage, and if you don’t, they’ll take it anyways. Their shitty Ammo is about 2-3x as much as it should be for a members only club. The food menu changes constantly and is always way overpriced, plain and average. A lot of the staff front house staff such as RSO’s/waiters and bartenders are great, but you can tell they’re sitting around all day waiting for the place to go out of business. 80% of my visits, we were the only people on property and I believe the constant increase in money grabbing is a last ditch effort to keep the doors open. It took two months of emailing to get my membership "canceled", and then I got charged nearly an additional $4,000 of membership fees because I forgot to return my $10 dollar membership card. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CLUB.
