Caswell Shooting Club Rangemaster

Really tight shooting stalls, everytime I go I’m surrounded by police or sheriff’s. It is next to the police station. It just makes the atmoshphere feel uptight. No offense but I don’t like shooting next to law enforcement. Range master is uptight but safe. Biggest complaint is shooting quarters and lack of cleaning place hasn’t changed in years. Fees should be cheaper

Right off the bat, week nights between 7 and 8 are the best time to go; not crowded at all.
This is what a shooting range should be for someone that doesn’t have land to shoot on: range, gun smith, small shop, and a few to rent. You are treated like you are competent by both staff and range masters, and range fees are affordable. If it isn’t crowded, it is a great place to shoot. When it is crowded it does get stuffy and hot but such is the nature of an indoor range.
Some of these one star reviews are unreadable, and make me say «lol what?». Different strokes for different folks, but if you are someone who wants to be hand held through he experience then this isn’t the place for you. It’s generally straightforward; the same person that complains about «well in my day there was customer service!!!» Is the same type of shooter who starts off every sentence in the range with «well glock is a plastic gun and not a 1911 so hur dur». Scottadale gun club is a drive from anywhere in the east valley and pricey, and C2 is down right dangerous with how they let their range master do what ever the hell it is they do. Shoot here, you won’t be disappointed if ou are coming to shoot.

Love this place! Helpful staff and good classes too. Friday’s are ladies nights, and right off the free way,

Our favorite place to let some stress out. We make it out here a few times a month. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Super helpful and friendly staff that are great source of information for both seasoned pros and beginners. If you’re new to the gun world this place provides an excellent non-​intimidating experience. The range masters are super helpful, give you tips for better shooting, and personally help you out without even having to ask them.

I’m a novice gun owner, I signed up for a conceal carry permit class and it has been fantastic. J.R. Is the instructor, it is very informative on many aspects of gun safety, law, operation, etc. The environment is comfortable and the material presented in an interesting manner. All walks of society in the class, it is suited for all levels of knowledge/​experience in a non-​threatening/​judgemental environment. Highly recommend to anyone considering a class or anyone who owns a gun who wants to learn more.

Avoid like the plague!
There are many other places that not only have a better selection, but better staff. Very odd and unorganized. Not a good feeling when firing an automatic weapon. Literally have seen yard sales more organized, and that’s not sarcasm. VERY SCARY. It’s hard to fit it in my head how rude and condescending these people are.
This place is terrible. Go to Scottsdale or C2, I’ve been to both. Not only do they appreciate your business, but they’re very respectful and they have integrity which is of the upmost importance when dealing with firearms.
BE CAREFUL: I came because eventhough I saw the horrible reviews, I saw the positive ones too and figured those people were just people that can’t be pleased etc. NOT AT ALL. THE GOOD REVIEWS YOU SEE FOR CASWELLS ARE WRITTEN BY EMPLOYEES AND FRIENDS OF THEIRS AFFILIATED WITH THE BUSINESS, AND THAT’S A FACT. After this last visit that you’ll read about below, I told the girl with the knee brace at the counter that I was going to leave a review on Unilocal so other people wouldn’t have to go through this sort of thing too. She actually said, «whatever.» After she went in the back another worker who was in agreement with me told me said he couldn’t believe I was so nice and patient and that he wouldn’t have been. He then told me, and I quote, «management doesn’t care about the review websites, they just write a bunch of positive reviews themselves every so often.» Wow. That’s all that needs to be said.
Anyways.
I’ve been there 3 different times over the past year only because of how close it is to my home, and was treated rudely by the condescending knuckledraggers they have behind the counter all 3 times. This was the third time and I’m never coming back. Hopefully you’ll appreciate my time here and do so as well.
Namely, the young female they have there now, what a clown. My wife wanted to tell her a thing or two but opted to just let her continue to embarrass herself with her lack of knowledge and narcissism. It was entertaining to watch. And sadly, she’s a «trainer» haha! This trainer lol, and the other 4 people working there were all behind the counter eating and talking, acted as if they were doing ya a favor to even just wait on us and others in the store. When they finally helped us and the other two people, I saw that none of them had any firearm knowledge at all, to the point of giving the wrong info about laws and even SAFETY! When I informed the customer next to me that they were mistaken, and doing what they said would be a HUGE safety concern, the one employee finally said, «O my bad, we’re all new.» Looks like someone cleaned house, and they obv need to do it again!!!
By the time I was leaving, the five, yes 5 people standing there behind the counter apparently couldn’t handle the simple task of being courteous and helping others in the store once again… even when they were asked, but they def had time to talk about smoking weed, eat behind the counter and have their nose in their phones like 16-​year-​old schoolgirls. Like they had anything more than Facebook going on. Worst of all, the girl in the lane next to me had never shot a gun before and was very concerned about safety. Despite all that, she couldn’t get the instructor to stay for more than 20 seconds at a time. He then acted like he was doing her a favor to talk to her.
Avoid this place like the plague. I’m a Iraq veteran, a firefighter and am involved in local politics. I’m a very respectful and kind individual, and I was very kind to every one there. If I had issues, I guarantee you’ll have issues. Beware.

This is a step above Teds shooting range. It’s the target/​Walmart kind of difference. The lanes here are a little nicer with a digital display for the exact length for a target. The gun case to rent is vast with many choices. The only draw back is that the ammo is a little more. I would suggest buying your own ammo before coming. You will have to use their ammo of you rent a gun from them though. All in all, it is a solid place.

Obviously, gun ownership is not only just about supporting the 2^nd Amendment; it’s about educating yourself about local, state and federal laws, as well as staying current with your CCW (Conceal Carry Weapon) license, which includes ongoing target practice. As someone who has had a CCW license for 20 years, been shooting since 8 years old and a 3^rd generation Arizonan, I am a huge fan of Caswell’s Shooting Range.
Caswell’s was established in 1988, and was one of the first ranges in Arizona opened to the general public. A lot of things regarding gun ownership have changed since then, and Caswell’s has always stayed ahead of the curve.
Currently, Caswell’s is a climate controlled indoor shooting range with 11 shooting positions with adjustable target distances up to 75 feet. Each position has an automated target retrieval system, which allows you to shoot at your own pace and distances.
Caswell’s also has over 75 rental firearms, including Glock, H&K, Sigarms, Springfield, Kimber, Beretta, CZ, S&W, Ruger, Ameetec, Colt, Magnum Research and more. (Calibers from .22LR to .44MAG)
Caswell’s has an $ 8 «Try Before You Buy» program. You pay $ 8 and can try any of their new or used firearms. The $ 8 gets credited toward the purchase if you wind up buying any of those you tried.
Caswell’s also has all accessories, including ammunition, cleaning supplies, targets, eye/​ear protection, carry devices, educational materials and men’s/women’s clothes.
Caswell’s has a very nice educational/​classes and training line up. These include CCW & Home Defense, NRA Courses, Build & Maintain Class, pistol, rifle and shotgun training, «Just For Ladies» and more.
Caswell’s has 6 different membership programs which offers many benefits and discounts, including priority lane reservation and discounts from 10% — 50% on classes and equipment, depending on the membership you choose.
I have attended many of Caswell’s classes, including CCW renewal, Fundamental Shooting Skills, and Practical Shooting Skills. I have used Caswell’s shooting ranges countless times. I have purchased many firearms and ammunition from Caswell’s. I even taught my little brother how to shoot at Caswell’s when he was ready to learn.
I especially like Caswell’s easy to navigate and mobile friendly website:
Hours:
Mon — Sat: 9am — 8pm
Sun: 9am — 5pm
I ⁵⁄₅ highly recommend Caswell’s Shooting Range!

My dad, brothers, and I shot guns here for the first time today after purchasing a Groupon deal and had a blast (no pun intended). Would recommend this place for first timers and experienced gun men and women as there were people a few lanes down shooting civilian m4s (is my inexperience showing?) and we were shooting 9mms and were in harmony.

Although this place seems like a tin box from the outside and yes you can hear everything from the outside, let yourself get past that and go inside, the staff is great and helpful and will get you feeling great out on the range!

The front desk clerk was the rudest woman that I’ve met in a long time; she sold the wrong ammo, knew nothing about guns, wouldn’t listen, charged the wrong cost, & was flat out rude. However, the other employees were great & we had a great time inside the range.

I went there today for the very first time I just bought my first gun a 22 smith and Wesson well I told the lady behind counter that I never used a gun b4 so she called over this man name Lee who worked there he was so awesome he showed me safety about my new gun showed me how to hold it and how to stand he even showed all the things about my new gun he even stood in there while I shot and showed me how to aim I want to thank Lee and this business for showing how to use my gun and took time with me today I will for sure be back thanks again promote Lee to be a person on how to use your gun he is simple amazing and very very sweet
A very happy customer

This review concerns a visit I made to the store approximately 2 weeks ago. The visit was made on a weekday afternoon:
I came in to this shop to purchase a Magpul item. What I needed was behind the counter, so I had to wait for service.
I waited, and waited, and waited, and… well, you get the point. I was not even acknowledged in any way, shape, or form — it was almost like I was invisible!
There were two employees in the back of the store behind a different counter, and there were several employees near the range part of the store. They were all pre-​occupied with talking amongst themselves — either they did not notice me needing assistance, or they did not care.
Obviously they did not need/​want my business, so I took it elsewhere.
I won’t be back.
Oh, and the shooting range is VERY loud — you almost need hearing protection in the retail part of the store!

What a great date day experience. The staff here is friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and very patient. Prices are good, and the selection is nice to try out a few handguns.

Very disappointed in this business today.
I’m a vet and I was excited to go sight in my air rifle and was told at the front counter that they don’t allow air rifles because the pellets will bounce back and hit myself or others…
Ok I’m sorry, really? You’ll allow .50 if it’s frangible ammo but you won’t allow a .177 pellet that disintegrates into nothing when it hits a target?
Dang, I was looking forward to bringing a bunch of vet friends here too.

This review is just for the gun range portion, not the gunsmith.
I have been an avid gun enthusiast my whole life. Once I moved to Arizona from California and felt what gun freedom really is it made me really want to get back into guns.
I have come into Caswell’s at least a dozen times, I have never really had a negative experience with staff or the range. It is what it is. It is a gun range. It’s not pretty. There are lanes, target holders, air condition and lane masters. If you were looking for something pretty you are in the wrong hobby.
This is a solid place, good prices, always stocked with most ammo.

I took my concealed carriers permit course with J.R. as the instructor. I loved his real life examples when teaching the law section and it truly made me think about every aspect of owning a gun. The course was on special for $ 45 and they provided all course packages, application, finger print cards and even envelop to send off! I was surprised at how little time we spent on the range and would have enjoyed more. Ladies night is Tuesday and Friday!

The pricing is higher than average, still we joined as members because of the convenience of distance from our home. The staff is friendly enough but not extraordinary except from one individual who does go above and beyond and makes the whole family comfortable and at home. Part of the membership includes a discounted gun purchase supposedly up to $ 100 off or near cost, well that’s not at all true. Try as they might to make a big deal about it I purchased the same pistol they showed me (Ruger LC9S) $ 40 CHEAPER at sportsman warehouse at their every day pricing.

Went twice last week and it was my first time to Caswell’s. My friend and I are experienced with guns and the guy watching the range didn’t bother us. The guy ringing us up was as nice as I would have expected and I like the display area. The staff up front was very nice the second time and the ranger was very kind to show first timers. Haven’t had a bad experience with the staff.
As for the price, my buddy and I had already purchased our ammo and own eyewear and ear plugs. The lane rental is a bit more expensive than I would have expected which would make me want to look elsewhere but still pleased with my overall experience.
I think where Caswells went wrong is they offered a Groupon for people who don’t have experience and the people working there won’t give them a lesson or hold their hand with it. Which they should due to Groupons clientele. Shooting guns for the first time shouldn’t be done without instruction. The ranger did help but not after recognizing that they didn’t know what they were doing.
