I ve been to Target World several times since moving to Ohio and I ve been more than satisfied every time I ve visited.

There are a handgun range, a rifle range, and an extensive inventory of firearms and accessories. Every Thursday night is Ladies Night (free firearm rental, must purchase ammunition in store), and the place gets relatively busy, but I ve never been turned away due to lack of available lane. The store offers a military discount and also sells Blue Label products. The prices of the ammunition (at least, the caliber I purchase) and targets are what one would expect from a local retailer; not as inexpensive as Wal-Mart, but not as exorbitant as Bass Pro, Dick s, Cabela s, etc. somewhere in between. When renting a firearm, one must purchase ammunition at the store range policy. The range provides complimentary eye and ear protection with the rental of a lane.

There are twelve (approx.) lanes in the handgun range and four lanes in the rifle range. The handgun range does get quite tropical, in terms of temperature, after several minutes of shooting, which I find uncomfortable I do find myself pretty sweaty and my glasses fogged up after about ten minutes of being out on the handgun range. And I m not even a large person who possesses an inherent propensity to perspire when temperatures are elevated. The temperature control out on the handgun range could be improved.

Customers know the employees by name, which speaks to the quality of customer service offered at the store. The employees are friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to instruct. Pete, Scott, Jon, Jeremy, CJ, and Chris are just a few of the staff who I ve come to know and of whom I regard extremely highly. As a firearm novice, I have learned an unquantifiable amount about safety and correct handling protocols, which are their top priorities. I have purchased a handgun and several firearm accoutrements from these employees and have never been disappointed by a single one. I will be buying all future firearms from this store, as well. The employees value their customers and make recommendations based on experience and knowledge of self-defense and firearm safety. I have personally received numerous pointers and tips on my shooting technique, handgun care and maintenance, and caliber selection the employees will spend as much time as possible transferring their knowledge to any customer who just asks for it. When I was first starting out, I had them teach me everything about my gun, and more. I thought the handgun I purchased had a mechanical malfunction and two of the employees were out on the range immediately, troubleshooting and running diagnostics (problem turned out to be in my technique, not the gun). These guys are passionate about their jobs and it s quite apparent just from talking to them and doing business with them.

Highly recommend Target World's store and ranges.
