Norpoint Shooting Center

Great place to shoot and hardly ever to "busy" for a place to shoot

Very conveniently located off HWY-9, reasonably priced and have had little trouble getting access to a range. Friendly staff but do have limited selection on firearms for sale.

I was there Sunday morning to have them appraise my Browning as a second opinion, they were courteous and encouraged me to do private sale instead of trade or consignment. But as an FYI for anyone looking to go soon, they had a fire in their rifle bay, someone brought in tracers, and I was told that the rifle bay will be closed for some time, but the pistol range is still open.

After a couple of disappointing trips lately I'm starting to turn my opinion around. A few days ago I and several other customers spent quite a long time standing at the counter waiting to look at some of the handguns. No one even seemed to acknowledge our existence and eventually all of us left except one very patient fellow. I left again in my usual grumble of why do I keep trying to throw money at this place and no one wants to take it? I admit they finally are getting some guns and stock. Yesterday I decided after a trip to Cabela's I'd give them a call for a price quote and was met with someone helpful and courteous, Kristine (I hope I spelled it right). They had the item I was looking for, in stock and a better price than I expected. You can imagine my shock! Hesitantly me and my wife drove over and met Kristine who was as helpful as she was on the phone and eventually I ended up purchasing a new XDm 3.8 in .40 caliber. I have to say that it's time to give them a chance if you're looking to buy something, hopefully they do nothing but get better. Even went back today and shot my new toy and bought a holster.

New to the site - and saw this thread around NSC. Like others, I have purchased several handguns and an AR from Norpoint over the last year. Every time the sale has been excellent. Good selection, fair pricing, and the process was very smooth. Andy and Tim have always been super helpful.

Have we all had pains with getting on the range in a timely fashion? Yes. Is it because there has been a HUGE surge in people wanting to do the same? Yes. Will I continue to come? Yes.

I think that any industry such as shooting ranges must all be going through similar struggles with keeping up with demand.

Earl, thanks for the candor - and - thank you for the great service we have had. One of the reasons I keep coming back.

I paid a visit to the range yesterday with my wife and one daughter, and two things came up. One, shotguns now count as heavy caliber, so it's $15 a lane for members, $35 for non-members. That was highly annoying, and it seems that Norpoint isn't too interested in keeping their web site updated, nor do they post these things on their Facebook page, which they want to use as their primary source of public information (not smart, actually, as not everyone has or wants a Facebook account.)

Perhaps they should date the price sheet, stating: "Last updated a long time ago on xx/xx/xx and already obsolete, but we don't feel obligated to tell you that."

On the other hand, my carry piece suffered a fatal failure at the range, so Chris (I think that was his name) in the store was awesome in delivering into my hands a very hard to find S&W M&P9c. Top notch experience there.
