Everything We Do Revolves Around 4 Key Things

YOUR INDIVIDUAL SAFETY
OUR AGREEMENT WITH OUR INSURANCE
OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY
MAKE MONEY

You Must Identify Yourself

Everyone that enters the range must be at least 14 years of age and must present photo identification. No exceptions. Ever. Period. Don’t even ask and don’t get mad at us.
All ammo typically must be purchased from us.

This is for liability reasons but mostly a money thing. We promise not to jack up the prices for our ammo, but this is a business and it helps keep the doors open. I know some of you old timers are having an aneurism right now but it only equates to a mark-up of between $2 to $4 per box of 50 rounds. Due to the ammo shortage, you can bring your own factory, jacketed, brass ammo and will be charged a $5 corkage fee for every 50 rounds.

All Targets Must Be Purchased From Us

This is for range safety. We use specific size targets to mitigate floor and ceiling shots and this rule has stopped customers from using inappropriate or offensive targets. Also, we make a few pennies on target we sell and every penny counts.

Buddy System: If you come alone you must bring your own gun. This is purely a safety issue, so we rely on the buddy system. The way around this rule, if you don’t own a gun, is to bring a friend. Then you can rent our guns, easy.

Caliber Restrictions

You can shoot any handgun from 22LR to 45ACP to include; 44mag and 45LC. 45 WinMag, 454C, 50AE, 500S&W, 480,460,461,462 and the like by appointment only.
Rifles allowed are .17HMR, 22LR (rimfire) and other pistol calibers. No center fire rifle cartridges. Class 3 firearms by appointment only.

Folks ask to shoot 40mm. No, we don’t have 40mm grenades. But we do have 40S&W…

We will do our best to stock many of the different calibers to meet your needs. If you shoot a weird caliber, call us before you come out. If we don’t have what you can need we can special order it.

Guns in Cases, Bags or Boxes When You Come In The Door

When I was a kid a couple of stores in town had a sign outside door that read “remove ski masks and unload your guns.” and I think they were serious. At TPTS walking in the door with a gun in your hand is a safety concern. So, when you come in all guns need to be in cases until you get out on the range and in your assigned shooting booth. Then you can take your gun out, point it down range and in your assigned shooting booth. There is no gun handling in the lobby or while on the range outside of the shooting booth.

No Holster Work On The Main Range

I wish we could allow draw and firing on the main range but, based on our 25 years of doing this, we just cannot allow it. But, we do have a training range that you may be qualified for, just ask.

Cameras Are Ok But

You must keep your clothes on at all times! Also, no cursing, fighting or spitting on the floor. Aaron, if I catch you spitting tobacco in our recycling bins one more time I’m kicking you out.

Bachelor Parties

Absolutely! One of our most popular types of group that come in. Please call ahead and let us know how many in your party, the date you will be visiting and a contact name. But, save the libations until after you shoot.

Drugs/Alcohol/Weed: Don’t care if you’ve got a card or how bad your glaucoma is acting up. No, you can’t shoot. Word to the wise, Julie has an excellent sniffer so Patchouli doesn’t help!

Special Note: for those of you that call to tell us we spelled patchouli wrong, please get a hobby… Life’s too short bro. (Pogostemon cablin also patchouly or pachouli)

Sense of Humor

We take safety seriously and we demand that you do also.

However, if you do not like the “tongue-in-cheek” nature of this web page you probably won’t like us. That’s ok though…There are lots of outdoor ranges that will be more suited for your poopy pants.

ALL CLASSES ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, PREPAID, NON REFUNDABLE AND YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR DATE OR RESCHEDULE.SORRY, BECAUSE OF NO CALL, NO SHOWS WE HAD TO INSTITUTE THIS POLICY.
