Had class today with John at Range 42 in Norton/ Akron. He was a great instructor and was very clear on all the material in our basic handgun course. He made it easy to both learn and apply the material in the range. We left there very satisfied with our lesson. Great idea to implement the uscca options with Niko, whether or not you are to opt in for the membership - it is great to know of this resource for trainings and coverage for peace of mind. Overall great experience

This is an amazing range to start learning, and continue growing as a handgun shooter. They offer classes from beginner to advanced. I keep my membership here for a reason.

I found out about this company thru a co worker when I was first interested in getting into shooting last year. I took my first class at the Norton location. I expanded to the Brunswick location too. Adam is wonderful and knowledgeable and the classes are worth repeating that's how much I got out of them. Thank you to everyone in the Range 42 team for having great instructors and informative classes!!

I would recommend this class for everyone. The instructors Adam and Craig were very informative and funny. The class was long and I was not looking forward to sitting in the classroom all day but it flew by. They taught the state laws of owning and transporting your guns, situations that can occur, the mechanics of a gun, how to properly hold your gun and so much more. I plan on taking more classes here, they offer so many. Take the class here you won’t regret it.

I come to Range 42 to practice and I’m always happy with every staff member I come in contact with, but I took my CCW course with Adam and I can’t say enough how awesome he is! I was dreading sitting in a classroom for 8 1/2 hours but by the end of it, it flew by and I was really sad it was over. Adam is so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about teaching this course. I also had the pleasure of meeting Craig who chimed in on the class as he’s training to teach it and to become an instructor. It was nice to watch Craig “learn” how to teach it because Adam would address any parts Craig may have missed and they just passed topics back and forth and it was easier and more fun to learn it that way. As a young female with beginner knowledge, I was pretty nervous going in so it was nice to see that these were real people who just care so much to inform others that I was never intimidated by them or any of the material/ topics of discussion. When it was time for the range portion of the class, Adam wass so incredibly aware of what I was doing that may have prevented me of becoming a better shooter that he told me what I needed to work on and demonstrated until I understood. We ended up having time left in the class so Craig worked with me even more in the range. The one on one with the instructors were my favorite portion because I learn so much more. This entire experience was so much fun and I left excited to learn more and will be scheduling more classes. I think everyone should be taking these classes and I hope they are able to experience it with Adam and Craig because they are just pretty damn awesome people.

Took the Basic Handgun class with John and Collin. They both were exceptional instructors with a lot of patience. I appreciated John’s humor and passion for the subject. I left feeling confident and eager to learn and practice more. I will say the self-defense insurance sales pitch felt out of place for a beginner class where the majority of students did not even own a gun.

The employee behind the counter was very knowledgeable, patient and kind. Although i had bad luck with the timing of my visit, they had just sold out earlier in the day of what i was wanting. The employee kindly let me know when it would be back in stock. Will definitely revisit Range 42.

Took my CCW course and tactical training here, couldn’t be more happy with the results and coaching I got. Adam, one of their coaches, comes highly recommended by me to anyone inquiring. He's always ready to assist and is dedicated to improving your skills.This review focuses on Adam and his coaching, as my experience with this range is primarily through him.

After doing my due diligence on considering places for a CCW class. I decided on Range 42. Which was best in price area wide. An has many great an positive reviews. An top notch instructors with tht were well versed in knowledge of current laws an extensive background an in weapons and training in firearms.I had Adam as my classroom instructor he was very knowledgeable an down to earth individual an has a great sense of humor as he was teaching an giving real life experiences 1st hand an 2nd though others he personally knows. Was also very engaging with students an created a great learning environment. Also explained better ways to hold your firearm an manage recoil an increase accuracy. Which for me i lacked.When it came down to the shooting part was greatly impressed with the other instructor in showing me better technique to hold my firearm an quickly corrected my mistake an explained the difference. Which in turn increased my accuracy an trigger pull 10 fold.Will be signing up for more classes which they other and is more relevant to real world events which can happen. An have you better prepared.

Chris was an amazing instructor, he was able to handle a widely diverse group of students with all levels of experience, which is not easy! He was 100% professional, and made the class fun! The safety aspect was drilled into all of us. I will be sending my wife there for her classes as well. I will be attending other classes! I highly recommend them!

Second time using the indoor range and really enjoy the low key (profile) atmosphere. They are in the process of doing some interior renovations during off-hours, which didn't pose an issue. It didn't happen to be busy while I was there, so I had a change to "talk shop" with one of their managers, which allowed me to find out that they have a Norton location closer to my house. Definitely recommend this spot to get some trigger time.

I had class with Adam. He did absolutely amazing, extremely thorough, gave lots of good tipe for first time firearm handlers. Everyone at the facility has been extremely friendly, helpful. I recommend this facility 100/10 for any firearm training!!! You will not receive as good of training elsewhere.

Recently took additional handgun basics class. Adam and Chris really know their stuff who are instructors.All of the information, tips, and shooting parts of the class were hands-on and easy to understand. They really want you to be both good and safe with your weapon.HIGHLY recommend coming here. If you want to just shoot - or take part in a training - if you're anywhere in the Cleveland/Akron area, this is the place to come to!!!

Been here a few times. The range cost is a great deal. But what keeps me coming back is the staff. They make the experience worth while every time! Middle of a range session and a sudden question pops in your head, they’re there for ya. Yesterday i came off lane and asked if they had a speed loader, i wanted to purchase one and it’s amazing qualit, i’ll have it for years to come but he started to hand me the stores loader. took me back a little like that’s service that your just gonna let me use your equipment trusting me with it. That’s why i’ll always be back to this location.

Excellent instruction. For a first time experience our instructor, Duke, was through and patient. The facility is very clean and safety is a priority. I am sure we will visit again and work to improve our skills. As a person who was not sure about my feelings about handling or owning a gun I learned an appreciation and respect. for these tools.

Always have a good experience going here to this range. Guys here are always very welcoming and kind. Range is on the smaller side, but it’s usually not too busy. If I could have one suggestion it would be to turn the temperature down in the range so glasses don’t fog up. Highly recommend this place!

A friend and I arrived here to test a gun I had just purchased but we arrived at closing time and began looking for another range to go to while sitting in the parking lot of range 42. While we were waiting a staff member came out to us and offered for us to come in and have the range to ourselves while he finished up some paperwork!Top notch service and deals! Best range around for sure!!

Attended the Women's Introduction to Handguns course today. The instructors did an amazing job. The class was informative. They did an excellent job at making everyone, no matter the experience level feel comfortable. They did a great job of answering questions. Left knowing exactly what kind of gun I would feel comfortable owning. Will be returning for more practice, more instruction and purchase.

My husband and I took a 2 hour personal training session with Adam and he was amazing!! Adam is patient, knowledgeable and a real expert with firearms. He boosted our confidence levels with our new 9mm's and we even left the range with multiple bullseyes. We highly recommend Adam for firearms instruction.

If you want to take a conceal carry class this is where you need to go. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and do an amazing job of making sure you are best informed on safe firearm handling practices, how to shoot, and Ohio laws. These people are not in it for the money. They truly want to see those who take this class to understand what it means to have a conceal carry license, legally protection wise, emotionally, and mentally. Also, shout out to Amanda my range coach who was able help me shoot direct center even though I have only shot once before.

I had a great experience here. Visited over the weekend to shoot a newly purchased handgun for the first time. Ran into an issue with jamming and the gentleman was right there to walk me through a solution. He showed me how to clear it, reload and get going again–all in a manner that was professional and non-condescending.Just scheduled a CCW class here and am looking forward to supporting this local establishment.

My Husband and I took the CCW class Tom Dillon was our instructor and he was very good at it. I learned a lot about firearms/handguns the handling of a firearm, safety, parts and how to shoot a little seeing that I had never held one or fired one b4. He made sure we understood that even tho we took his CCW class we still needed to keep up with practicing on shooting which I agree. Tom made the 8 1/2 CCW Class interesting and fun at the same time. The shooting range was scary but fun and I passed. Staff was very nice and helpful. I would recommend Range 42 if you’re looking to take any of their classes.

We took our CCW class here over the weekend. Tom our instructor was very knowledgeable in every way. Ive shot guns my whole life and didn't think there was much to learn. I was wrong. We were also taught quite a bit more by another instructor on the range. One on one in the range is great especially if you were to come in knowing nothing. Very nice easy going environment. Highly recommend taking a class with them!

I took the CCW class today with the instructor Tom Dillon. I can't say enough great things about Tom! He is so incredibly knowledgeable both by the book standards and in real life situations. He made the class enjoyable and fun while being informative. My shooting instructor, I think his name was Matt, was extremely patient, comforting, knowledgeable, supportive and all around kind. I spoke with 2 other instructors after my shooting time and both of them were the same as Matt and Tom, incredibly kind, supportive and knowledgeable. The entire staff here is amazing and never made me feel inferior for being a beginner. Their attitudes were as if it were their first day on the job, enthusiastic, always willing to help, so kind and helpful. As a military brat and a veteran's wife, I will forever be a customer.
