Now in the past, I have gone there and with the exception of having to pay twice the amount per student ($37.50...the hourly price is only $15.00 normally), I was never charged anything else. That has now changed, they charged me the same price just to administer the exam!

Three of the students I brought with me had never been to Top Gun, so in my mind, I was bringing in ongoing business to them so why charge me? (rhetorical question) Add to that the continual snarky attitudes I have encountered there, and I am just going to have to find somewhere else to get my students qualified. :???:

I really don't get it. :confused5
Without talking specifics , I WILL NOT do business with Top Shot for the reason above and their business practices .... I would go to Best Shot , they will work you as they can if you let them know a few days ahead of time and not get greedy they will reserve a few spots for you and they only charge the normal range fee for all shooters and they have NEVER turned me away, I have had to run 4-5 people using one bay but better than nothing ,,,,,,,,


oh and BTW the last part of this yr , I went to a range in the spring area and Bandera and they both where great of course they worked me in since it was busy...and have never been told no , it is a shame some ranges say no , lost business to me

Another question...does anyone know of any Instructor friendly ranges here in Houston?

jk :fire

I haven't had any issues with gun ranges.., in fact it is the opposite , I use Marksman gun range in south houston and also Top shot in Friendswood... I went on a Sat to marksman during a very busy time and i just asked the range master i have to do a quick CHL qaul and he got me in and out within 15mins...... but i never have attitude and just ask worst thing he will say is "NO"
