We have been to Shooters World Tampa before and have always had a good experience. The cost may be a little higher for casual shooters but their facilities are great. This time was also a great experience. While shooting a variety of handguns, the range was busy but the RSOs were attentive and paid close attention toon to keep things safe.

Our interest was in getting experience on their 50 BMG and they went out of their way to make that happen. The RSO that worked with us was great and made this session a success. Great team, fantastic facility and enormous selection of firearms and shooting accessories.

Would highly recommend.

Class room: 5 STAR

I signed up for a new gun owner class. The instructor had 40 + years of federal and civil law enforcement service . His instructions were clear and he took the time to make sure that any and all questions were answered.

His range teaching was exceptional.

Up front personnel : 2-3 STAR at best

The front store personnel seemed disinterested in helping , and as mentioned by other reviewers they seem to never answer the phone.

Shooter's World is a great location, whether you are a novice or an advanced shooter. They offer a full compliment of products and services, as well as outstanding customer service. I've taken several classes and feel more confident and experienced as a shooter. John is a great instructor. I've enjoyed working with him and recommend his classes to others.

I took my friend to shoot for the first time since he wants to buy a firearm. I brought my own firearms and we also rented some. Our first rental was a Glock and they gave us a magazine off the display shelf. We went into our lane, and started shooting. After shooting 4 magazines from the rental Glock my friend who’s only shot a few times loaded his magazine, took a shot and the magazine literally exploded inside the gun!!! The workers and managers had no idea what to do, they didn’t once say sorry or ask if we were alright. One of the managers who was just utterly rude the whole time told us that it’s not their fault that it was a bad magazine. My friend was pretty freaked out and it could’ve been a lot worse. I’ve been shooting for years and this has never happened to me. The managers were horrible, the customer service was horrible and they didn’t care about what happened at all. The only person who cared was an employee named Austin, but his managers made sure he didn’t discount anything or acknowledge what happened. We will never be back here again, and I don’t recommend anyone coming here to shoot. I’ve been to hundreds of shooting ranges and shot thousands of rounds, this was the worst experience I’ve ever had.

Horrible. First of all, they make you unload every magazine you have and check every single gun. Just so that when you pay for your time and times a ticking, you spend half of it loading your magazines. On top, I’m law enforcement and prior military, and they do not have any discount for either. 99.9% of shooting ranges provide this discount. Also, 30$ per hour?!? And an additional $15 per person you bring with you?!? Other ranges charge around $15$25 per hour depending on the place. Also, I was concealed carrying and they made me walk out back to my car to unload my firearm. Also, you’re only allowed to pay per hour and if you want another hour, you have to walk back out and pay for another hour (mind you time is still ticking). This place is just a money grabber for first time shooters who don’t know about shooting range. They just care about your money and nothing else.

For almost 2 weeks now the rifle range has had only 2 or 3 of the 7 lanes open. And now for almost 2 days then entire rifle range has been down because of AC issues! best part is they are offering free range time to veterans and lanes are not available. If that is not a slap in the face to our Veterans, I don't know what is. And let's not forget all the hunters who want to sight in or check out their rifles before hunting season.

The owners and management of this place needs to wake up before people start going elsewhere in droves. Actually an number have already migrated to Reloaders in Pinellass Co.

Another frustrating encounter at the gunsmith facility in Shooters World in Tampa. Initially, I phoned the store to confirm the availability of a gunsmith and was assured that the shop is open until 7 PM. So, we decided to call again as we were in route to the store. This time, we were informed that while they're scheduled until 7 PM, they might leave between 6 and 7 PM on occasion. Since we knew that we will arrive before 6 PM, we continued our trip, only to find the gunsmith shop closed when we got there at 5:30. Seeking clarity, we approached the customer service counter, where a manager was quickly summoned to address our concerns. A young lady came and immediately offered free range time for our troubles. I politely declined, emphasizing my primary concern: knowing when the gunsmith is available, given the considerable distance we traveled. I also mentioned the lack of response to my voicemail messages, as per their instructions. It seemed evident that this was a scripted response to a regularly recurring issue. Perhaps a change in management, revising the published hours, or hiring a more reliable gunsmith would mitigate these recurring frustrations for customers.

Absolutely appalling!! Purchased an NFA item 6 months ago and waiting status of tax stamp. Found out today when calling to check on status that Nothing was ever filed with the ATF. Horrible customer service and clearly people working there that have no common sense, knowledge, or customer service skills. Asked for a refund of my items and was told I need to come in tomorrow to talk to the person who failed to file my paperwork properly 6 months ago. After getting back home I called and asked to speak to the general manager, had to reiterate the entire story to the employee who said I needed to speak to the abysmal failure who didn't properly file my paperwork also. So I restated that was why I asked to speak to the general manager, I was then told to hold and transferred to a general mailbox. I highly recommend not getting screwed over by these company if you are in search of any NFA item!

Can speak for the other locations but the Tampa store maintenance is terrible! At any giving point in time about 30% of the pistol lanes are out of order. Worse yet is the rifle lanes, since late May there have only been 2 -3 lanes max open for use. And in many visits the is only one! Best part we are told by staff that 2 of the lanes only need batteries and that management refuses to keep replacements in stock and refuse to buy locally. Crap, they are only $20 batteries!!!
My money says renewal will be down and I caution prospective members.......you been warned

I was asked to leave in a very rude and demeaning way because I used steel casings and did not know they recently changed the rules .
They don't want steel casings apparently because they don't make as much money as the buyer of the caisngs pays less if steel casing are in the batch .
The manager , in front of my girlfriend , was over the top aggressive and tried to belittle me . His conduct was unacceptable.
I will never return .
