I enrolled in the pistol permit class like anyone else looking to obtain a pistol permit in the state of Connecticut. Leading up to the course I felt I was mentally prepared for the 8hr day of sitting in a classroom. However, the thought of having to be tested on my knowledge of firearms, how to safely operate them, and the laws that accompany owning them was a stressful notion. I had no need to be concerned. Even if you never plan on owning a firearm, everyone should take the pistol permit class offered at Blue Trail Range at least once. It was informative, engaging, and extremely well run. Our instructor Mark should receive rewards for how well he teaches, manages a room, and handles tough students. I can't speak highly enough of how enjoyable he made the entire process. Even though Blue Trail is a bit of a hike from where I live I will certainly be returning. All of the staff I interacted with were extremely friendly, welcoming, and supportive. It will be tough for you to find a course that surpasses what Blue Trail offers and the staff they employ. Thank you Mark and everyone at Blue Trail for a wonderful experience.

I took my pistol permit class here last weekend with our instructor being Mark, and the whole class was amazing! The 8 hours flew by as the instructor kept us interested and informed the entire time. When compared to other ranges their daily rate is the best around and they seemed like they actually cared... with other ranges I've been to it really feels like the customer is an afterthought. They have a snack shack and food trucks regularly and the bathrooms were clean and updated. I'll be coming back for sure! Don't waste your time with other CT ranges that have weird rules and bad/surly staff, come visit a women owned business that cares. You're in good hands here. Thank you to Mark and Deb, I really appreciated the level of detail you all went to to make the class and experience at the range so great!

My wife and I went for our class in July, couldn't be happier that we found Blue Trail Range! They were excellent from start to finish, offering far more help than they were required to. (For me especially) Super low day rate is a great value, indoor/outdoor range, and memberships. The store has everything you'd need with helpful, friendly staff. The ranges are very large so there are lanes, even when it's packed with people. On slower days, it feels great shooting with sooo much room. There's even a snack bar. Love love love this range! Stay safe and exercise your second amendment rights at Blue Trail Range today.

Had the privilege of getting my education for my permit here years ago. Been going back frequently to keep my practice on point. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and will take the time you need, not rushing you. There is handgun, rifle, and the shotgun range is right across the street. Plenty of spots available and (with the price of ammo) if you need to wait, it typically goes quick. Every 30 minutes, on the half hour, you cease fire to replace or retrieve your targets. The safety officers clearly explain the expectations. Fun place for bachelor parties as you don't need a permit, just an ID. You will, however, need a friend with a gun or three : ) . The on site store has everything you need including ammo and targets. There is a small restaurant on site as well. The bathrooms are kept clean. My husband has an annual membership here and every so often he gets a guest pass...ME! Fun place to spend an hour or a day. Once you pay, you stay as long as you'd like.
