Located a stone's throw from ESPN world headquarters, Wolf's is a great place to shoot. After getting your NRA Basic Pistol certificate, you are allowed to shoot. You don't even need a state permit. They will rent you guns from a large selection, the only caveat being that you must buy the ammo from them. Of course, permit holders can bring their own guns and ammo. The staff was very helpful, informative and encouraging. They even gave me a discount when they found out it was my first time visiting. The target movement controls are modern, switch-based and motorized. Each lane has its own work station area, and there are tables along the back wall. I received a warm greeting and friendly advice from a regular customer who was shooting at the same time as me. Everything about this place is top-notch, courteous and professional. Safety is a primary concern, and the rules are very clear and reasonable.
Their prices are very competitive, especially compared to other area ranges who seem to be resting on their laurels. This is surprising, given how much newer and well-maintained Wolf's facility seems in comparison.
Lots more detail and information (including the list of rental guns) is available on their web site: http://www.wolfsrange.com
Bottom line: A shining example of what a shooting range can (and should) be.
