Shooter’s World Phoenix

Looking down a sight, controlling breath, and squeezing the trigger on a round piercing the center of a target bullseye provides a unique momentary satisfaction.
Imagining a lethal threat with every step on life’s road just makes one crazy.
I’ve also heard learning to properly handle and shoot a firearm gives women a special sense of accomplishment.
Staffed by experts, Shooter’s World is a place Sharpshooters and novices can stay sharp or learn the basics on an indoor, climate controlled firing range. They also sell firearms, ammunition and accessories.
Wherever I travel and live I trust local law enforcement with my life. We get our protein from supermarkets, restaurants and hunters we know. I have not owned a personal firearm for many years.

Great service. The Indian School location seems to consistently excel while the new location continues to struggle in providing consistently high-​quality customer service.

Great place to shoot! Customer service is #1. Thank you Anthony for being so helpful to my boyfriend and I.

We normally go as our corporate group, however, this was «one off». I cannot say enough about the staff. They are amazing!
On this visit, have to give special kudos to Arnold and Bryce for assisting us!

I have been going to Shooter’s World for about 9 years now. Though I am not a regular and don’t know anyone by name, I can say their staff is very professional and helpful. When I first stumbled upon the place, I had many questions about firearms and myths I had heard about different manufacturers and calibers. They were very patient with my questions and informative. I have purchased an AR-​15 from them at a great price and love their shooting range.

I’ve always been impressed with Shooter’s World. I’ve taken a class (with Anthony), shot at the range (Jared made sure all was well), purchased items, did an FFL transfer and I’ve yet to encounter an employee that wasn’t very helpful and friendly. The staff is always vigilant about safety on the range, in the classroom and at the counter-I’ve never seen even a hint of any unsafe activity at Shooter’s World.

Still a great place. Absolutely recommend getting a membership if you can! AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE! They went so far above and beyond the call of duty to help me a couple months ago with a customer service issue that I was totally at fault for. Without the long boring story they really did me a great favour and cemented my loyalty to them. Thank you Shooter’s World! Highly recommend.

Took a class at the Phoenix location, and also have gone there on a Friday for the ladies day specials since the range and gun fees are waived. Good deal! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The class is well worth taking and the instructor knew his stuff. Good for beginners and for those who have been away from guns for a while. Safety is emphasized at all times.
Going back for more classes and practice.

This place was awesome! Jared was AMAZING!!! We went for our first time yesterday and could not be more happy with our experience. We did the Groupon and everything went smooth. Everyone was friendly, and Jared was great at explaining everything and answering my million questions. My son is 6, and was very hands on with him, and made us both comfortable with the learning experience. Definitely not the cheapest activity, but well worth it. We will certainly be returning. Anthony at the front was helpful as well, and got us signed up for a class next month. Would highly recommend!

This is the place where I fired a gun for the first time when I was 14 years old, and I’ve been coming here ever since. This review is specifically for Shooter’s World, not to be confused with AZ Tactical/​Magnum Precision.
— Retail
Bought plenty of Firearms here. Mark is the one who usually helps me, sometime Jesse (Store Manager), and Daniel. Very nice and friendly. Whenever you purchase a Firearm (New or Used) from Shooter’s World, You always get 2 free Range Passes and s Shooter’s World T-​Shirt, which is pretty awesome. I have so any shirts :). Their prices are usually fair, not $ 20-​$ 30 above MSRP. The Staff has what’s called a «10ft rule» so you won’t be ignored. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
— Range
Fridays are «Ladies Day» where Women/​Girls get 1 hour free range time and free firearm rentals. You just have to pay for ammo and targets. I’ve never had a problem shooting here. Range Officers aren’t «Snotty» and will help you if you’re having trouble, so New Shooters don’t have to feel unencouraged. Walter usually checks me in and is very cool to talk to.
— CCW Class
They offer CCW classes, as well as others classes/​courses for learning about firearms and tactical techniques. I took my CCW class here. Harry was my Instructor and was very helpful and made sure everyone’s questions were answered. My Girlfriend took ‘Women’s Fundamentals’ and Jesse was Her Instructor. She did very well and now shoots there frequently on ‘Ladies Night’.
Thank you, Shooter’s World for your wonderful customer service from your awesome Staff. I will continue to shop here as well as shoot. — Gabriel Salazar

Great place with professional staff and decent facilities. Wish they had more types of targets but they don’t mind if you bring in your own so it’s all good. Friday night is ladies night and it’s well worth it for yourself if you are a girl or a date.
The store is a bit pricy but they carry a lot of quality items and have regular sales that make it worth while as long as you wait for them. It didn’t feel sketchy like some gun shops in the valley and they do a standup business. Will go back to shoot and buy from again.

I was helped by Steve and Anthony immediately and they assisted me through an array of questions with patience and professionalism. I started out with some rent-​n-​range time and the staff came off as very attentive and informative throughout the whole process. I was very interested in signing up for membership and the staff went through the process with ease as well. Afterward, we went back and discussed possible purchases and they led me through with no hassle at all. This location is large, filled with a great selection and great staff. I will come back as a member with guests quite often.

I’m new to the Phoenix area and this was my first, stand alone gun store that I checked out. (I had gone to Cabela’s and a gun show at the fairgrounds.) I was immediately approached by a burly guy named Ken who was real easy to talk with and took the time to answer the many questions that I had about the Arizona gun laws, and in paticular, the CCW laws. Although I had done a little research on my own, I found some discrepancies in his interpretation of the laws. But this doesn’t reflect the store, just one employee.
The store is spacious and well laid out with a good selection of firearms and accessories. I did find the prices to be on par with what you might find online with some exceptions on clothing and holsters. If you need something right now, chances are they will have it. You might have to pay a little more for it, but not much. Plus, for that little extra cost, you get the touch/​feel factor that you can’t get with mail order. Well worth it.
The indoor gun range seems well made and priced to similar ranges that I have been to. Although I did not use that facility, I will try it at a later date for sure.
Bottom line: I don’t have any other gun stores in Phoenix to compare it to, with the exception of Cabela’s and a somewhat disappointing gun show. This was a positive experience and will at some point in time return to purchase equipment or to use their indoor range.

DO NOT GO HERE! Coming from a family of public safety and my boyfriend and I being fire/​ems I am thoroughly upset with the «safety and service“and scared to step foot in this place ever again just because of that. A nice date day turned horrible! We just left here and I’m glad I did!!! Since my boyfriend is too pissed to write this right now I will tell our account.
All was well until three reckless guys came to the lane next to us CONSTANTLY being warned not to rapid fire roughhouse ect. THEN I caught THREE ricochets in the damn leg and boob Two seperate times! Careless staff and they let anyone in. No official range officer I could see in the area until after i reported the recklessnessand after showing the shrap metal I pulled out of my shin, knee and bra and the fact that it broke the skin and drew blood we still had to be the ones to leave out of concern for safety.
If I can make one point its this:
Staff really needs to be better trained on NFA AND ATF stipulations since they didn’t catch things and allowed certain weapons of a certain manner to be shot next to us.
Heading home to clean up my leg, ice, and elevate!

Expensive if you love to shoot for couple hrs at a time. 15.00 every hour. Plus your purchase of your targets. I will return because how convenient it is. But wish there where deals on extending your booth time.

Stopped in on a Friday with my man. Was helped by a friendly gentleman who explained everything i needed to know. I had a blast shooting at the targets! Ladies shoot free Friday’s but still a bit pricey (however is one of the most reasonable prices in area) While i was waiting my turn to shoot, a young teen was pointing her gun to the side. Immediately a staff member alerted her and told her to turn around. I appreciated their attentiveness!

Ladies shoot and rent for FREE on Fridays! (Still have to purchase ammo, but duh, that ish ain’t free.)
I had a good experience coming here with my two guy friends. The employees were knowledgeable and respectful. Even though I’m not very familiar with shooting ranges, I never felt spoken down to or made to feel uncomfortable in any way for being a woman in a «man’s world». In fact, there were more women shooting than men. There was always someone monitoring the lanes and available to offer advice or assistance.
Don’t forget to clean up your shells and don’t be an ass. That’s pretty much it.

I had a great experience here tonight. Went for ladies night with 3 other girls. Two
Had never shot a gun before. We got a safety demo, rented guns and had great convo with several of the staff members. Then the gentleman inside the range helped us girls out several times. It was awesome to get a discount from ladies night also.

Professional, safe, and clean shooting range.
I’ve been coming here with my dad for a few years now, and it’s always been a great experience. It only takes a few minutes to get set up with everything to rent time in a lane, and the service is always great!
You can rent many different guns or bring your own, and they have many different targets for purchase which can be fun. I usually get the typical silhouette, but every now and then the zombie target can be fun.
They also have Ladies nights (I think on Tuesdays) when women can rent lanes at a discounted price.

What better way to celebrate my new residency here in AZ and fourth of July than heading to the gun range with my family.
With a father whose been to gun ranges before, brother’s interest in airsoft and my mother and I’s lack in anything gun related– let alone having experience touching one Shooter’s World made the experience enjoyable for our differences in experience.
Since it was Friday, they had specials for ladies– meaning free rentals, just pay for ammo. We got a run through with gun safety and picked out our guns. We were shown how to load our firearms and it was direct and easy to learn. My father and brother decided on the Daniel Defense AR (5.56×30^rd PMAG Eotech) then tried out my gun of choice a S&W M&P 9 mm.
For 3 people– including me with free rental the cost was about $ 80 – 90 with ammo for both firearms.
Eyewear, hearing protection and many lanes made the experience feel a lot more safe along with a monitor patrolling the lanes to make sure everything is going well. There are also two sets of doors for added safety.
The only con was probably having the handgun jam up on me a couple times, having me to check the ammo every time it did jam. However that could just be a fault on my part. All in all, I can’t wait to come back for ladies night on Friday’s and try out their other firearms.
