Great Experience at Freestate!

I'll say this, I usually shoot at Continental, but last week we wanted to introduce a novice shooter and since Continental isn't air conditioned, we opted for Freestate. The fact I was able to shoot the AR there was a bonus.

I love Freestate, but it a bit of a haul for me.
I also have noticed that "The Roadie" has been much more polite and helpful in the past few weeks. He now walks down the line instead of standing over your shoulder at a lane. I like knowing he's keeping an eye on things without being overbearing.
My guess is the big "What Do You Think Of Continental" thread on here was reviewed my Continental's mgmt.

Honestly, there is no reason for me to go to Continental anymore (at this point.) Freestate is super close to where I live. It doesn't help matters that they are decent and never treated me like crap. Just sayin'. I'm glad he's changing his tune, but it's too little too late for me. I somehow DOUBT this is the first they have heard about this.

Been going to freestate for awhile now and have had nothing but amazing experiences. Any gun issue I have had bob (the resident gun doc) has helped me fix it and Randy, mark and Terry have been more than nice in every case. These guys know how to run a range and make it a fun and friendly place to hang out and enjoy your shooting. It's supposed to be fun, the last time I checked. Some of my experiences at other ranges have been high pressure, not so fun times that I never want to repeat. Freestate rocks!

Freestate is awesome. Super friendly and a lot closer for me!

So how big is the store, do they have a good stock?

Think the website could do with some real work, for a range/store that's getting such good reviews.

They're still in the process of opening, so they aren't particularly well polished yet. They don't have as large of a stock of guns and accessories as does Continental, but the range itself is nicer and has outstanding customer service to boot. I particularly like the storage area directly behind the firing line that keeps you from tripping over targets and range bags. I'd recommend you check it out to see for yourself.

I can't wait to see the place!

Think I will as soon as my paperwork is processed, so I can pickup my new Sig

Wha?, I live 10 min from this place and I’m just hearing about it? I need to get out more often…
I know what I’m doing this weekend.
Are they like H&McC in harco, do you need to use TMJ or their ammo, or can you bring your own?

Frangible ammo not required!

And a dart board I believe

Not to pile on-- but there is this one guy at Continental that really offended me. I am an African-American male and he felt the need to tell me that I should not hold my desert eagle sideways "like the gang bangers do in the movies" as I was loading ammo into my magazine. I swallowed my tongue and my pride...shot for about 15 minutes and left really feeling "some kind of way" about it. That was 3 years ago...I went to Freestyle last night, not really knowing what to expect. I am REALLY glad I went. The staff really went out of their way to make me feel comfortable (even so far as to measure the target I shot at, so I could buy a frame for it). I could actually hear patrons encouraging other patrons they'd never met before last night. Freestate will definitely get my business again

I need to go visit this place, but I am afriad it will cause me to shoot more often and will liberate more money from my pocket.

You guys get a Pistol Instructor course going I can take and I will become a member. :-)

Anyone know how the recent Utah law changes impact CCWs? I have one and another told me now that in order to renew you have to show a CCW from your home state...is that true? THat would suck

 

[Bang_Bang]

I've been to Freestate 3-4 times and they are defiently the best in town period. One time at Continental was plenty for me.

 

[Jimbob2.0]

I was pretty impressed today to as i set up for 4 transfers. They even extended the group buy (AR lowers) rate to a MkIII I had ordered separately.

I will be talking to them on a price for my next purchase. I really wish I lived closer

I believe that only applies if your home state recognizes the Utah permit, Maryland does not.

Love Freestate, a bit far but its better than continental ( i have to buy YOUR ammo instead of bringing my own?????!!!!!!) and select fire ( no customer service, skinny lil punk acted like he didn't want to answer/ know the answer my question, no guns on display ) . Shooting a ar-15, saiga 12 and mossberg 500 was so fun.
