When you go, talk to Dave, John, or Martin. They are the sweetest guys! I've talked to several other staff that were nice but I can't remember their names. Every company has a couple bad apples, but I've always thoroughly enjoyed going to Target World. Huge selection of guns to rent if you need help...

Very messy place that has lots of good products like archery and reloading, but the guns are high. When it comes to staff its very disorganized.
People at gun counters are all over the place on a busy night vs staying in place and letting others work in their area. If you have an inbound transfer t...

Went to the gun range and left my drivers license as collateral. When I was done shooting they gave me the id off a elderly black man 'which I am not!' When I explained that I was given the wrong id the man didn't seem to be concerned about it. I wasn't offerd any apologies he just asked for my phon...

Called ahead asked about a gunsmith they said yes he was in. When I arrived I was told he stepped out that his car was here. About 20 minute later another staff member asked if he could help. I told him I was waiting for the gunsmith. He then did a snicker and someone else laughed that I would b...

Came in wasn't welcomed they seemed mildly busy. But after looking for 20 minutes I saw a gun I wanted to look at purchasing, so I stood there for 15 or so minutes only moving 2 or 3 steps after waiting awhile I walked back to the bows and found a large puddle I'm the floor from the ceiling leaking ...

First time in Target world and they were busy even at 830 pm on a Saturday night. We were able to get a line with a minimal wait time. Then after we were done, a employee of target world, Peter, was nice enough to show me his unique level action rifle. Not only did he show me but he let me shoot ...

Visited Target World on a weeknight, the store wasn't very busy. Rented two handguns from the rental counter and some range time. Grant was the employee working the counter, he was friendly and helpful. TW has earmuffs and eye pro that was available to borrow for the range which was great. Air q...

Being a first time gun handler, Tony B. went above and beyond to help find the best fit for me. He took extra time to help me feel comfortable with my choice. Tony even helped me at the range to test out out my options. I wound up not getting the one I originally thought was best for me, instead aft...

Gun counter staff are very quick to tell you they "don't work on commission, so they don't care if you buy or not". Its an offputting statement.

Guns and related paraphernalia sales rely on the spending of discretionary income.

After my last 3 trips there, I'm convinced they dont need or want...

Friday, December 30th, a friend and I visited target world for the first time to shoot at the range. I read that there was a sale going on and you received free range time with a purchase - that's how I met Tony. Tony was very helpful and easy to work with. Even though he was disappointed I went wi...

I had been waiting almost ten minutes for help to pick up a transfer I had shipped there, and a woman...

Horrible place to buy guns. The only reason why this place is packed is because this is the only place in Cincinnati open to the public that you can shoot indoor at the range. All the guns are overpriced here. If your looking to buy a gun in the area, go to Loveland Shooter Supply. They can beat Tar...

My wife went through their ccw class. She's a fine shot, but not when they insist you hold the gun THEIR way, which is uncomfortable and innacurate.
