SharpShooter Indoor Shooting Range

I wanted to take my wife to an indoor shooting range and decided to stop by here because of the ratings and they did not disappoint. After reading the rules and signing a waiver we selected our gun, targets and picked up hearing and eye protection and we were off with an employee to show us which stall we were assigned and how to operate the electric target track to place our target down range. Once we had no further questions, he turned us loose. We had a blast! We will be back to try different guns for my wife.

This is a great place! I purchased my first firearm and wanted to learn as much as I could about my firearm for safety reasons. I called this and inquired about the Handgun Training class. The class was amazing. The instructor Larry Bruns, former FBI, is amazingly skilled and professional. He taught me the in’s and out’s of my firearm, the way it functions, how to take it apart/​reassemble and all the mechanics of it. There is a short PowerPoint during the class which outlined safety rules and other important information. During this class you learn the proper way to hold your firearm, eye dominance, stance, and other priceless information. This class also offers time in the range shooting.
I have also taken the Advanced Handgun Training. This class teaches more tactical and marksmanship training. Again, Larry is the instructor. This guy is superb! He continued to practice safety, safety, safety. I really enjoyed this course as it allowed for drill shooting (up close, switching hands drills, conceal drills, and drawing from the holster drills).
I’m usually there on Wednesday and my encounter with the other staff has been pleasant. All are very professional. I highly recommend.

Just had a great day with my wife. Shooting and lunch. I’m a novice and my wife had never been to a range. Andrew at the front desk was very helpful. He really made my wife comfortable with the pistol selection, too. No «I’m a genius shooting dude» attitude at this place. Russell was our instructor. Calm, cool, and gave us a strong set of basics to get us started. We never felt rushed. We had used a groupon and at the end of shooting, Andrew gave us discount coupons for their barbeque restaurant. Really tasty and meaty wings. Give’em a shot. Ha!

Friendly employees, any time they
you. I been to a lot of times, good price daytime.

Husband and I were excited to find out they have $ 1 rentals on Wednesdays! We ended up trying out 3 9 mm hand guns. The whole shop was so friendly and helpful. Never felt rushed or like they were impatient with me (a complete novice). Will definitely be back to shoot as well as buy when the time comes.

I have had a pulled pork Plate a couple of times. The best in St. Louis. I enjoy the atmosphere and it’s a great place to meet up with friends. Going to try out the shooting range some day.

I wanted to learn to fire a gun during my stay in the US, as I am an exchange visitor from another country, a country where gun possession is a big taboo and shooting ranges are overpriced and there’s not too many of them anyway.
First, I came over to Sharp Shooter to ask advice and find out what my options are. I had a chance to discuss my case with one of the staff members, who was very friendly and professional and suggested a private lesson with the instructor (no First Class Seminars were planned before my departure).
I signed up, soon received a phone call from the instructor (Mr. Larry Bruns) and we set up the date and time. Which was today.
I have to say I’m extremely happy with my first lesson/​instruction. There is not even a slightest doubt — the instructor is a professional! We went thru safety rules first, then gun handling and loading, then shooting position and aiming. Instructions were very clear and understandable, dummy bullets were used for that. This part of the lesson also included a short power point presentation.
Shooting itself was brilliant. I can’t imagine feeling more comfortable taking my first shots. The instructor really cares about the safety, he is very attentive, and based on your missed shots he can tell what errors you’re making so you can instantly work towards fixing them. He really knows how to shoot and he really knows how to teach!
All in all it was a brilliant experience and I’m happy that I chose this range. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to shoot there again before I leave the country!

I generally hate shooting indoors because it can get so loud and crowded but this place is pretty good, definitely above the average experience. The staff are helpful and very good at expediting registration, it can get very crowded in here especially on the weekends so that’s very important. A regular all day pass cost $ 21.00 with an $ 8.00 charge for the second shooter on the same lane. That’s a very good price because you can really stay there all day but sometimes if the waitlist is really getting long and you’ve been there for more than 3 hours then they might ask you to give other customers a chance and then just come back later in the day. That’s still not bad because you just get the overall feeling that you can shoot as much as your heart desires without feeling rushed.
As for the facility itself, the lanes are a good size and if you get a corner lane then even better because those are just a teensy bit wider than the middle ones. The electronic target system is easy to control and goes up to 75 feet. It is generally very clean and there is ample space behind each lane to stand and set other things down. I definitely recommend this place to other shooters and if you are a Unilocaler, make sure to check in for your free target.

Me and the wife signed up for the First Shot class enthusiastically (well, me more than her) because I finally was going to get to experience firing a weapon for the first time. You see, having just escaped from the People’s Republic of New York, I was trapped in a prison of sorts my entire life and this would be my first taste of freedom upon exiting the over-​regulated and repressive Empire State.
After a mix-​up over the phone on which class I was signing up for and after getting charged the wrong fee, it was cleared up with the billing dept. and I was on my merry way to the range.
My class instructor was excellent and engaging and made us feel comfortable handling all sorts of weapons, and I appreciated he was ex-​FBI which lent major credibility to the class and experience. Back in NY, I took an NRA approved course about the basics of firearms, although it didn’t include any shooting because that would be illegal. That NYC class was the pits as I almost has a near neo-​nazi doing the instructing (think Army/​Navy store owner in Falling Down).
Anyway, after the classroom session was over it was range time. My instructor and another instructor honestly made me feel like I was a regular there, and I wasn’t made to feel stupid or like a newbie just because I constantly had a thousand seemingly idiotic questions. Me and the wife were ROCKING that target, I was very proud of my multiple chest shots.
I was always gung ho about shooting and I’m glad I finally did, but the kicker is that this experience turned my wife from an anti-​gun scared-​y cat into someone who asked me a few days later if we could go back to do it again. She says she still doesn’t want a gun in the house, but I’ll be working on that :)

Friendly range staff, they will help any way they can while on the range. Range is clean. There is an RSO in every shooting area. Offer a variety of classes and private instruction. They don’t have an hourly rate, but you pay (nearly the same as an hourly range) for full-​day access. They have several dozen firearms to rent/​borrow (range purchased ammo only). Electronic target placement and retrieval from 0 – 25 meters. First aid kits placed in several areas.
Thanks Sharpshooters for a quality indoor range experience.

I had a very poor experience at sharp shooter and I haven’t even shot yet. The lines were very long and very disorganized. The staff was also rude and especially harsh on foreign born costumers. Prices were also high. Do not recommend it.

Best indoor range in town!
Plenty of space behind you, and more than average space in each bay.
The staff is always friendly!
I particularly like the pricing structure. Just one price for the day. You can’t beat that pricing point. I never feel rushed to shoot up my ammo before extra charges start kicking in!

I booked a one on one class with my fiancé and we learned so much and loved the experience. Our teacher/​trainer was Larry and he was great. If you are interested in learning more about gun safety and security for your home then definitely call and take a class with Larry.

I’ve heard a lot of good reviews about this place and really was looking forward to my first shooting range experience here.
I went in there today and was just thoroughly disappointed. First of all I called the gun range earlier and made all my important inquiries first so I wouldn’t basically waste my time. I wanted to bring my 17 year old nephew with me because he has gone to a gun range before with his uncles, and I didn’t want to go by myself. My questions were: did I have to be my nephew’s legal guardian to have him with me? (Answer: No, as long as I was an adult and we have a 21+ year old in the group.) He doesn’t have an idea, but could his school ID work if I had his birth certificate as well? (Yeah, that works.)
Those were the two main questions I had, and basically when I got there I couldn’t help but feel a stuck up, rude attitude towards my group. I completely understood the situation with my nephew, but then one of my friends was 19, and they said that he couldn’t shoot without a parent or legal guardian. I have never heard that before, and there was no sign or notice of that you HAD to be 21.
I just don’t understand how I could’ve called them just a few hours earlier and then later they tell me some other BS. Either they need to improve their shooter requirements on their website or in their shooting range. I felt very hurt that my first experience was facing that. Whoever answered me on the phone definitely gave my hopes up, and I disliked the rude attitude immensely. We didn’t deserve that. Never coming back, sorry, not sorry.

On a recent trip to St Louis, my wife and I decided to try something that is a little harder to do in Canada. We wanted to go to a shooting range! I looked up Sharpshooters Indoor Range and found out it was close to where we were staying. We arrived with my cousin and were greeted by the excellent staff at Sharpshooters. I informed them that it was our first experience and they guided us through the whole process and experience. I picked out some hardware to start us shooting (handguns). I was told that the rental fee for the handguns covered any of the pieces on the wall (about 50 different types from .22 cal to .50 cal) and we were free to swap out at any time. We proceeded to the range and the range officer guided us through the rules and gave us our lanes. Since my wife had never shot before I asked the range officer for some tutelage, he was friendly and very helpful and guided my wife through her first shooting experience. I think I created a monster as she shot round after round into the target silhouette. The total cost for a great day of shooting between 4 people was about $ 100 bucks, in Canada from the prices that I have seen it’s double or three times the price. At the ranges in Canada you also have to book ahead and you can’t come alone and the ranges are very busy (because of the limited number of public ranges). All in all it was an awesome time and I want to thank Sharpshooters for making our first experience a great one!

This place is hands down the BEST indoor range! The staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful! The range is clean and modern. The by far surpassed my expectations. I was blown away by how great all the staff is. After my first visit I have since become a regular and love that they have Ladies Night on Wednesday evenings. And also, thier prices are great and the bbq is good. Anyone looking for an indoor range to try should look no further.

This was my second time here. The first time was to take a beginners class. Now I have never shot at gun much less healed one in my hands.
The instructor Larry was awesome, he help me and my husband (who had a little more gun experience) get the hang of loading, aiming and shouting at gun.
Every one was professional, helpful and all around awesome!
If u take the classes Larry will probably be your teacher and he goes above and beyond to u feel comfortable and safe while handling guns.
We went in yesterday for out second time just to look at the guns that we had shot during our class. While in there we saw Larry and he asked us if I wanted to shoot again before my husband and I decided on a gun to buy. He took us to the room whet we learned the week earlier and stayed with me to make sure I was comfortable and got the feel for the guns.
All in all this is a great place for beginners, people who have been doing this a while or people wanting to freshen up in their skills.

One of my bucket list items this year was to learn how to shoot a gun. I didn’t grow up around guns, and knew little about them before attending the First Shot class earlier today. I went with my wife.
The class was surprisingly small. There were only 5 students… 3 female, and one other male. The instructor was an ex-​FBI agent. He took us through a couple hours of classroom training. We learned about gun types, safety, techniques, and marksmanship. He had a PowerPoint deck that led him through the topics. The deck kind of sucked… it was a little wordy. His lecture and speaking points held the class together though.
After we learned the basics in the class, a second instructor joined us and we headed to the range. There is a 5 stall range just for the training classes. This was nice. You didn’t have to feel intimidated by those that shoot there on a regular basis because we had our own section. We got to shoot everything from small conceal and carry pistols, to revolvers, up to assault rifles. I found myself liking the Glock pistol the best. The range is new, well maintained, and I always felt safe.
The instructors were patient, but addressed any issues they saw with our technique. I was surprised I did so well. The experience was thrilling. They have guns for loan so I’m sure I’ll come back and practice a little more.
The whole time we were in the class, I kept getting distracted by the smell of BBQ. It seems they have a restaurant connected to the range. After class I got to try some of their pulled pork and brisket. It was pretty good BBQ… although the brisket was way better than the pork. They had other things like smoked wings and nachos.
This would be a GREAT place for a date. The experience was memorable. The whole operation seemed top notch.
On a negative note, the schedule online isn’t always right. Our class was at 9am even though the schedule online says it was supposed to be an afternoon class. Be sure to call and ask for the actual class hours. Also, the website said the class was going to be $ 50 but we were charged $ 60 on site.

OK, first of all this is a really hard review to write because this place was awesome and when you look up the phrase «man of few words» my picture will be no where to be found!
My buddy’s wife purchased a meal and firing range package here for his 40^th birthday. They have these after they close the store so there is a LOT of personal attention. There were five couples including my wife and I and we had at least three employees while shooting.
I went to this with a little dread. A couple years ago I inherited guns from my dad, some of which I traded for a S&W .40 caliber semi-​auto pistol. I took it when I got it and shot a 100 rounds at a inferior local indoor range and hated the experience. It had sat in the gun safe until last night.
I am sure my wife envisioned her evening as a few hours of chit chatting with the other wives while the boys got their «testosterone fix».
After eating delicious BBQ, coleslaw and baked beans we all were given instruction on range rules and safety. When asked who had never fired a gun before only my wife raised her hand. We then ALL proceeded to the firing range with three employees/​instructors.
After missing the target badly, which I had done in my first experience, I asked for help. I received great instruction and was able then to hit what I was aiming at.
My wife shot next. I expected her to shoot the .22 sidewinder pistol I had brought but instead she stepped up to fire the .40 caliber. After some instruction she shot dead center into the target! She had a ball! Sharp Shooter supplemented us with a couple other guns in the same caliber as we brought.
First word of caution. I went to Walmart and purchased ammo made in Russia, OK I admit that it was because it was cheaper. I knew the casings were metal but even though the projectile appears to be brass it is also metal. They like apparently all ranges don’t allow steel.
Last word of caution. They don’t have sweet tea! ;-)

Great experience! Took my daughter and mom. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Bill made sure we were comfortable. The lanes were very clean and plenty of room.
