Granite State Indoor Range and Gun Shop

Beware of a $ 25 range damage fee if one or more of your bullets happen to strike something down range other than your paper target. I know it’s hard to imagine a bullet striking something down range, but it is possible. Down range IS where the bullets do go after all! A novice member of our party unknowingly hit the steel plating which protects the carrier from bullet strikes with a .22 round causing a scuff mark on the steel plate. This plating PROTECTS the carrier!!! A not so friendly range officer stepped in front of the shooter while they were reloading in order to cover the scuff mark with black spray paint. A blast of spray paint in your face is just what you need when getting ready to shoot! $ 25 to paint a scuff in steel plating?! Really?! Another member of our party wasn’t allowed to shoot because a MA. LTC is not acceptable as ID. So bring a drivers’ license or fake ID, but not your LTC which your police department, State police and FBI conduct background checks on you prior to issuance. I guess if you’re worried about allowing criminals to shoot at your range you accept an ordinary anyone can get drivers’ license as opposed to a difficult to obtain MA. LTC! I don’t get the logic! Won’t be going back. Make sure to go over to Walmart and buy seven more cans of black spray paint with our $ 25 range damage fee.

I loved this place so much initially that I kept coming back. I even purchased a gun from these guys. They made it very easy, plus you get the bonus of a free 30-​day range pass. They normally charge $ 75 for this pass, so it’s a great bonus. If the gun you want is the same price here and somewhere else, this pass makes it a better deal.
Valerie and John are awesome. I will keep going back. Check it out!

Total 5 star experience. As a total novice entering this facility I found them to be very professional, approachable and friendly. They made one feel very comfortable and very willing to help with any questions. Prior to going here I had visited several gun shops and another range in Manchester where I experienced people who acted tough and cool and as if you were bothering them to do their job. Granite State has a great variety of courses and options to try & buy guns as well as your ability to get 30 days of free range time if you buy from them. Which I did… Great place for shooters from experts to novice newbies.

Have been coming in several times in the last couple months. I like it more every time. Took a basic handgun class a couple weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. Waiting to sign up for part 2. If your trying to decide if you want to come in, do it. Everyone is super nice. Always willing to help you with anything you need.

Cleared up the sight install issue. Marks on frame were from me that I just happened to notice after they installed my sights. Sights shot better than I did. 4 stars because of price

I was very skeptical when my boyfriend said he wanted us to come to this place as a Sunday activity, especially because we have never fired a gun before, but he always wanted to do it and I was like «OK, let’s do this», with no excitement at all. We invited along two other friends — guys of course, and one of them had some experience with guns and shooting. All I can say is that, not only the boys had fun, I actually enjoyed this activity more than I would have thought. They have a great variety of firearms and everybody is so nice and thoughtful. We’ll definitely go back!

This range was incredible! I was saving my first review for an establishment that I felt strongly about and this was an overall positive experience. I’ve taken a basic firearms course but still wasn’t a fan of firearms. This experience was friendly and comfortable.
Being new (and somewhat nervous) around guns, I had decided that I would learn something about them in a bid to fear. The thought of walking into a range had always been intimidating for fear that seasoned gun owners would roll their eyes and brush me off but that was the furthest thing from what I experienced. I don’t fit the typical profile of someone who would be interested in a nervous sort of way, but that didn’t matter. Alan and Chris were informative, patient and most importantly, understanding of where I was coming from. They made it a point to explain things clearly and start me off appropriately so I would have a positive experience that could be built upon and not turn me off in the other direction. It worked! My drive was an hour and fifteen minutes each way and I’ll do it again in a heartbeat.

I hadn’t fired a gun since I was a kid (my dad was in the military and taught me firearm safety from an early age). Visiting GSIR was a birthday surprise and I was honestly a bit nervous when I got there. The staff are all so helpful and friendly, they helped me select a rifle (AR-​15) that wouldn’t be to difficult to shoot as a novice. The prices are reasonable and safety comes before all else. Had a great time on the range and will definitely be going back. They also offer firearms courses for any experience level and can help with MA licensing qualifications. A great place to start out, and NH regulations make it easier to decide if shooting is for you, before you apply for an FID or LTC. A good sense of humor about our state’s firearm laws added to the experience too!

Went here on a whim and couldn’t have been more impressed. Melissa was very helpful and knowledgeable about everything. Couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. I’ll be coming back again soon!
