Best Shooting Range Cary Near Me

dan b: What a great asset this facility is for anyone into the shooting sports ! - the place is clean, very well organized with 100% safety in mind. Went to sight in a new rifle, first visit there-totally impressed with way the safety instructor/ RO's operate and how friendly they all were. Hard to believe its free of charge-well, not exactly considering its ultimately funded via tax $$ but , nevertheless, just have to say: "Thanks NC Wildlife Resources Commission , really appreciate being able to use this facility" !!

Dana La: The staff is great. Zach, one of the ROs, was above and beyond helpful today. Melanie at the front desk is always super nice.

Jennifer Bozeman: This place is AWESOME! No one has any excuse for not being educated about firearms! Free handgun safety class with a good amount of range time. So thrilled to have this resource in my backyard! Staff are so kind and helpful. Loved spending a good chunk of my Saturday there 😃

Chris C: You definitely can’t beat free! The facility is nice and the staff is friendly. What more can you ask for!?! I totally recommend this facility!

Tom Ray: Fantastic group of workers at the range. Very helpful.

Tracy Darden: After reading the reviews I visited this range with my wife recently. It not a bad facility. Somes employees seem a little grumpy but honestly who cares 🤷🏾‍♂️ The majority of them are kind, friendly, and helpful. I was skeptical about going because I could tell a lot of these reviews are written by employees 😂😂! My advice to patrons and ppl who visit the range, is to listen closely and follow the rules and most importantly have fun, my advice to the staff. Is keep doing what you guys are doing. The facility has been around a long time and is accident free at that! It’s no different than visiting you local Walmart. Some employees will be helpful and kind and some not so much. It’s a free facility so you got to take the hood with the bad. If you are a first time shooter, I would recommend a different range. If you just want to practice or let off a few shots this is the range for you.

Noah Secrist: Great Range, Great Staff. William has a phenomenal team of RSOs. Mel runs a tight ship. Always feel safe. Everette was knowledgeable and friendly.

Adolf Hitler: While the facility is cold, the ventilation system is actually pretty good.But regarding the two from the same group, I happened to be next to them when the “downright creepy” RSO was watching them. They were swinging the gun around and shooting the ceiling, and the “young black man” was simply trying to correct the issue before needing to throw them off the range. I honestly felt scared a couple times cause they muzzle swept me once that I saw. They even admitted it in their review

Timothy Burkett: Always a bad experience at this place. Grumpy people, always cold or hot. Bad ventilation. Went frequently when I lived in Apex, will never go back.

John Gates: What an amazing facility! The range is large with a lot of lanes so it is rarely over crowded.You reserve lanes so you never wait in line, when it's time everyone goes in and is assigned a lane.The staff is friendly, accommodating and professional.When I once forgot to follow protocol, the range officer caught it before I had a chance to make the mistake and discreetly let me know leaving my dignity intact while keeping me and everyone else safe.The price is certainly best you'll find anywhere, because it's a free public service.The NC Wildlife ranges are all state treasures, their partnership with Wake County has produced a genuinely awesome resources for North Carolinians.

Full Spectrum: Visited this range with my dad and some friends. My dad and I did not shoot in the same area as my friends. We were shooting rifles and they were shooting pistols in a separate section. Every time I looked over my friend had one of the RSO breathing down her neck. A young black man with dreads. I’m sure he did kno we were all one group, and the man was not rude, but even my father thought it was odd. Once our hour was up. I wouldn’t recommend coming here if you are a female. I personally didn’t like seeing my friend uncomfortable and neither me, my father or friends wanted to cause a scene. What bothers me about this is she did not once break any range rules. He was literally standing directly behind her every time she stepped up to the lane to shoot. Most of the staff is great and extremely friendly and helpful. But there are a few young RSO there who come off as rude, jerks or like the guy my friend encountered a DOWNRIGHT CREEP!

Glock McDonald's: Would of gave this facility 5 stars but when I visited this place with my friend. There was a young black man with dreads who stood over me the entire time there was about 5 other ppl shooting and he just continued to come over to me even though I was not breaking any of the range rules. He was kind and polite but made me rather uncomfortable. He kept trying to give me tips and correct my shooting. Even tho I wasn’t doing anything to break policy rules. I’m not a pro shooter I shoot to release stress and have fun. Also there was a heavy set employee a young man (white) who was rather rude to my friend for no reason at all. Her gun was not in the correct position. He explained it to her but was a complete jerk about it. This place is great I personally think the younger employees just need a little bit more training as far as dealing with the general public. Outside of that I had a great time and would of gave it 5 stars.

Joe Lindley: 5 stars because it's FREE! Sure, it would be great if it was more climate controlled and the targets were automated, but it's FREE! Staff is professional and nice. Never had any issues there.The hours are weird because I think it's used for law enforcement training during the week. On weekdays, it's only open to the public in the evening, so I always go on the weekends because you can shoot in the morning or afternoon. Be sure to make a reservation ahead of time online and read all the rules before getting there. Make sure all your firearms are unloaded and leave them in the car before going inside to check-in. They'll tell you what to do from there.If it's your first time using the facility or your range pass has expired, you'll need to arrive at least a half hour before your reservation for a safety briefing. That'll get you a range pass that's good for one year. Make sure to bring everything you'll need with you as there is no store on site. I like to print my own targets and I always set up as many as I can at once because you usually only get to swap them out two times during the hour long session.Enjoy!

Rick Jordan: Me and my fiancé went here are a couple weeks ago the staff and instructors were so friendly the people that shoot there are so nice made new friends my fiancé shot for the first time the instructors so I was trying to help her and we’re nothing but so polite and nice this is a great place and I thank you very much will be coming back

Skakub: Free. Professional staff, strict rules (good!), Never crowded- great for the new shooters, not intimidating. 10/10

Ross French: Very convenient, clean, and friendly place to shoot. Free entry. Schedule online. Bring your own targets.

Obbie Lewis: Took a pistol safety class here and made it my business to come back. Amazing atmosphere, great staff and always a better experience. PLUS parking is on site. Ha!

Colton Hayes: Not sure what everyone is complaining about. The safety measures this place takes are more than adequate, and the RSO's were the most respectful and helpful I've come across. Plus, it's FREE. Definitely will be returning.

Anthony Z.: Nice range, free to use. Must reserve a lane on the website before going.

Ron Croft: Free is the word for the day. You can't beat free when other ranges charge an arm and a leg. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You must attend a safety class before your allowed on the shooting range. The class is approx. 20 minutes. Listen careful to the range rules as they are different than other shooting ranges. If you don't listen and are caught disobeying the range rules you will be asked to leave. Bring your own ammo, eyes and ears there is no place to purchase the items. Do not bring in a Loaded Firearm. Arrive on time if your late they may not let you shoot.I would have given 5 stars but for the fact the range is not automated. It is still scary to walk out on a range and hang your targets. There are many safety features in place, but accidents do happen. Wake County please consider automating the range. Even if it means charging a small fee to shoot.Thanks to the Staff for the Wonderful Job they do you Guys/Gals are Number "ONE".

Jason Barris: Amazing and confidence boosting instructors.

A Pal: Easily the best range in Raleigh. Great staff, lanes are easy to use. Overall a great time.

Katherine Dawson: Went with my friends, none of us had shot before but it was such a great experience! The instructors were very safe and thorough, walked us through each step, and remained with us to aid and explain when we began to shoot. They were knowledgeable and helpful. The facility was awesome and the experience was super cool! Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in trying out shooting.

Nathaniel Grayson: nice place but a bit pricey for the lack of things they offer. They do prorate though so that’s a plus.

skeetshoot100: Great people 👍

Elizabeth Lemich: Just became a member! Im do excited. Great gun safety class. Safety and fun. Just perfect!

Shawn Crosby: Outstanding club with knowledge and friendly people.

Alexander Drotschmann: Steeped in Durham Co. history this club is a true gem. Founded already before WW II, then establishing the first skeet and trap fields in the postwar years in a different location (where IBM Disc Golf is today at Cornwallis and S. Miami. DCWC actually built the lake that is still there today) the club moved here in the early 60s with help from IBM when RTP was established and IBM began building it's site. Many options for clays sports and range shooting. Very high focus on safety and training. Members have to go through a rigorous safety training and re-certify annually. This club should be a Durham Co. heritage site.

Matthew Shumate: This place and the staff are absolutely amazing. Centered on safety and respect for all weapons used. I went to an archery tournament and the course was magnificent. Very challenging but fair for all skill levels and fun to shoot. They've got a full skeet/trap range and a good pistol range as well. I highly recommend you give them a try. Sincerely, Coach Matt. Cornerstone Christian Academy, Statesville NC.

Tony Miller: Great for families and fun

Roy Patterson: Great friends, great range, great club!!

Celestine McAllister: Sam and Justin are the best, the greatest customer service I have ever received....

Deborah Ekoue: Best range on the East Coast, Justin and Sam are amazing

John Shearin: There's a reason this place is only $10 to shoot at the range.This place is NOT SAFE.There is NO Range Safety Officer (RSO).Water was leaking through the roof inside the range.The range is way too narrow for the amount of people they let in.Brass is everywhere. You have to sweep the brass backwards and put it into a trashcan instead of forward into the range, as there is a barrier to prevent idiots from crawling under into the shooting range.Patrons were complaining that they had to take a safety quiz and sign a waiver.Spend the extra $10-15 to shoot somewhere safe considering the activity is SHOOTING GUNS.

Devin Brantley: Had the BEST experience at Eagle 1 with the assistance of Sam & Geo !!

Rodquan White: I had an excellent experience purchasing my firearm with the guys at Eagle 1. I encourage everyone in the Raleigh area to head down to Eagle 1 if they are looking to purchase a firearm or looking to shoot their firearms!
