Impact Guns

Stay away from the grumpy rude unpleasant older women, is it too much to ask for a little customer service (some people have ZERO business interfacing with customers)!! I used to go there to shoot and purchase products. I picked up this hobby again a year and a half ago and have spent 6K+, this is without ammo. Time to spend my money at other places like Sportsman’s warehouse, where previous purchases and interactions have been much better.

Wasn’t to happy with this place. I called for the M4 m&p sport II confirmed it was there with a phone call, and when I arrived with my wife and daughter no one even looked our way or gave us any of there time. I was there for 20 mins before I decided to leave, without my firearm that I wanted.

Impact guns is a very fun and convenient place to go and shoot in Boise. The lanes are typically easy to get on (except Saturdays, expect a wait of 20 — 40 minutes).
Renting a lane is reasonably priced and they include hearing and eye protection at no additional charge. As others have mentioned in their reviews, service and friendliness are not their strongest points but it isn’t so bad that it bears going on about, I did however reduce my rating by one star because of it.
You do need to check pricing on anything you buy here, you can often find better deals on ammo if you look around a little.
The largest caliber ammunition you can shoot here is 30 – 06 and you are not allowed to shoot black powder or shotguns on the range. If you’ll be shooting both riffles and pistols you’ll need to be on the rifle range which may cause you to have a bit of a longer wait so bear that in mind. I typically go on weekdays and there is no wait.
They also have plenty of classes and a lot of retail so whatever you need in the way of shooting from guns to targets, you’ll find it here.

My girls weekend included the shooting range! We found this place on Unilocal,which thankfully was open the day we went, and decently priced! It was about $ 20 a person/​hr.
When we went, there was quite a line for the indoor range. Once it was our turn, the staff helped us learn the basics of shooting, especially when holding the gun and how to shoot. I was pretty nervous so I didn’t get the basics right away; thankfully the staff was patient with me haha. Once a lane opened, we started shooting. It was surprisingly fun! So much power when you shoot a gun, it’s scary!
Overall it was a fun time, especially as a new experience. I heard somewhere that Tuesdays is ladies day, ladies shoot for free! How neat.

The facility it’s self is very nice. Clean and organized as it should be. However the person working the gun rental sand range check-​in in the back by the range was far less than friendly. We’d ask a question and get a short, cold response. Don’t know if I’ll be returning for that reason.

I like coming in here and using the range, also love the lifetime warranty. Could be a little more friendly though. They gave me the best price on a CZ which was almost $ 100 less than what they tried to sell me at hawk tech! which was pretty sweet.

Returned this month for another weapon purchase. This time tried their online ordering, since they didn’t have it in stock, they ordered it. Arrived in less than 10 days.
The paperwork is always clean and easy at Impact, especially if you have a CCW permit. They have you do it online and they don’t charge you extra for the Quick Check Paper work. Pass, and you walk out with your weapon. No BS 10 or 15 day delay as in Commifornia or other leftie states. Service by the Impact salesperson was A-​1, since he didn’t have to do any sales pitch, answer questions about the weapon, or educate a new purchaser of firearms.
Price for this weapon was clear on the website and less than MSRP. They do charge for shipping (minimal) and sales tax. Since I bought it online, my credit card had already cleared the amount due, so no money was exchanged. Of course, they will be glad to sell you ammo and other accessories. The weapon I bought has a company website and they do sell accessories with free shipping and no sales tax since they are outside of Idaho. Just something to consider.
As before, all in all an easy purchase.

This is a great place for indoor range shooting. I like to come on a Tuesday since its Ladies Day and the range fee for ladies is FREE! I often bring a decent mixed group of guys and gals (about 15) and the folks there are always gracious to put our lanes next to one another. They have free use of their ear mufflers and protective eyewear. Although I would recommend some foamies as well (insertable ear protection) Personally, as a mother with kidlets at home, I like to always be reachable; even on the range. So what I do is cork my ears with my bluetooth headset under my ear mufflers. Always get the call and my ears are double-​protected! They close at 7, which seems a little early– but they do rent out the range for a fee for large groups after closing (reservation required)
NOTE:
First Tuesday is ‘Well Armed Ladies Day’ and is pretty packed on this day. Call for further details for this monthly event.

Hmmmm, some folks have had something less than Five Star experiences here. My experience was the best.
I made it (fairly) easy for the sales guy, LeRoy, an ex-​law-​enforcement-​guy, firearms instructor and concealed carry instructor. He knows his stuff and was very friendly. I feel as though I made a friend, truly.
I was looking for a 9 mm «pocket pistol». As is my style, I researched the crap outta this and had narrowed it down to four pistols. They had all four of ‘em in stock.
LeRoy put ‘em all on the counter, side-​by-​side, and «my gun» just jumped out at me. It did not hurt that I had more-​or-​less decided on that one anyway, but it was very cool, very satisfying to see them all side-​by-​side. Consequently, I was able to confirm my choice (from the research I had done) and was reassured. I have no «buyer’s remorse» whatsoever. I know I made the right choice.
Oh, I almost forgot, I wanted to make certain that I left with a nice concealed carry holster. There too they had a great selection. LeRoy knew about ‘em all, and he assisted me in making the right choice, which I have already «field-​tested».
If you own pistols, you know that the purchase process is lengthy and can take some time (paperwork, background check, and all that), as it should be. So, during this time, I was roaming around the showroom and had brief encounters with other folks working there. They too were very pleasant.
As to price, it was explained to me that they have some sort of «price-​sweeper», which trolls the internet looking for lower prices than theirs. So, if a lower price is found at a competitor, that is the price you pay. Knowing this stopped me from running all over town shopping for price, which can be time-​consuming and aggravating.
I did not use the shooting range. There was a long queue of people waiting. So, I went home with my new purchase and am very happy.
Do what you want to do, but I would argue that you cannot go wrong here.

As a gun store you can find a broader/​better selection at nearby sportsmans warehouse or cabelas but as for the indoor range it’s awesome! My husband loves shooting and I don’t like being dragged out in the cold to enjoy this hobby so impact is a winter destination for any shooter. From handguns to rifles for $ 10 an hour you can enjoy an indoor range that is comfortable year round!

The reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is because their customer service is definitely lacking.
Aside from that, they do have reasonable prices in their store and I like the gun range. They actually allow you to bring your own ammo and collect the brass (for reloading purposes) which a lot of gun ranges don’t allow. We will definitely go back to use the range.

Went to use the range and the prices to shoot and rent are good. It was pretty busy when I went and there were shooting lanes open but it took awhile to get one because there was only one person checking people in.

I visited several stores looking to make a rifle purchase and this is the one that won my business. The place was nice, had a decent selection and mostly friendly staff. I did watch them almost sell the wrong gun to someone which was mildly disturbing but I’d probably buy from these guys again anyway.

I recently made a purchase there and have used the range a couple of times. I also recieved a free 1 month range pass for purchasing a firearm there.
The staff is friendly and answered all of my questions. Prices were good compared to a couple of the other gun shops I browsed at. This place is family friendly. If you are out looking for firearms, I would recommend Impact Guns.

Had a great experience here while visiting town on business. The two of us rented some handguns and rifles from a very friendly and entertaining staff. I would recommend stopping here if you’re in the market for a handgun the rental selection is vast and taking a moment to fire a possible purchase is worth the stop.

The only thing that Impact Guns has going for them is their shooting range. They have no better customer service now than Shooting World did before them. I’ve been in here numerous times and have spent in the neighborhood of $ 6000 dollars in this store, but I’m still treated as though I’m just another unimportant, expendable customer. It shouldn’t matter how much, or how little money that someone has spent to get good customer service. It would seem to me that the employees here hide behind the range and what few nice firearms they actually have in stock. Incompetent, not courteous (poor customer service) and generally unprofessional is how I would describe this situation. The one time that I did step into the «gunsmiths» work area, it was quite simply a mess. The work bench was cluttered with all sorts of stuff, nothing had a place. This is not someone that I would trust to work on my firearms. I regret ever taking my business to Impact Guns; and I won’t be spending another dollar there.

Shot and shopped here multiple times. It’s pretty average. Some things are more pricey here than Cabela’s or Cliff’s, and vise versa. Like anything gun related, you need to shop around. This is just another option. Pretty good handgun selection.
Range is good — fair price at $ 10.00 to shoot. Standard set up — 2 different ranges for small/​large calibers. Bays are a little worn.
Staff is nice by the way. Knowledgable and friendly.
