Hot Brass Firearm & Bow Range

4.6(82 reviews)

Hot Brass is a well-maintained indoor shooting range with strong emphasis on safety and customer service. The facility stands out for its clean, modern 90-foot range and comprehensive firearm rental options. Staff members, particularly the Range Safety Officers, are knowledgeable and attentive - sometimes perhaps too attentive for experienced shooters. They excel at making newcomers feel comfortable while providing helpful shooting techniques and safety guidance. The range offers monthly memberships and is wheelchair accessible. While ammunition prices run slightly higher than average, the overall experience and professional instruction make it a solid choice for both beginners and experienced shooters. The range maintains consistent business hours, though occasional weather-related closures may occur.
