Visited to chk out new gun range and firearm store. Was especially curious due to many neg reviews. The sales area is large and clean. Restrooms were clean. Firearms and ammo supplies are modest; but reasonably adequate. Especially in the current climate of extreme demand for products. I was greeted rite away. And was offered help as I looked around. The range is 25 yrds. Was told rifles can be used. Not very busy in a mid-afternoon. There were a few shooters at $20/hr. Chkd some prices. Saw some Colt AR15 rifles at abt $1,000. Saw some Hornady 9mm critical duty self-defense ammo for abt $43. So abt $2 plus per round. I haven't bought any sd ammo for abt 2 yrs. Buy on sale and stock up. I think sd 9mm ammo is normally abt $1.25 to 1.50. Chkd online with several of my suppliers. Many were sold out. I found 1 supplier of Hornady critical duty for abt $1.40/round plus shipping. I normally buy practice 9mm for abt $.20/round. I can't find any. But have stocked up before pandemic. I bought an American made hunting rifle recently from Idaho. I could not find it anywhere else. I paid abt 20% more than pricing from earlier in the yr. The rifle had been reasonably available b4 pandemic. Nat'l demand has caused shortages of ammo and firearms. Ppl are concerned for their safety. Self-defense ammo is probably impossible to find in Seattle, Portland, and Milwaukee.UpDate Sept 1, 2020. Shooting range fee is $20/half hr; $30/hrUpDate Aug 8, 2021. Dropped in looking for rifle hunting & practice ammo. There was a fairly good selection in these times of shortage. Want to get correct hunting ammo for fall season. Doesn't look like prices or availability will improve soon. They had some pistol self-defense & practice ammo. I don't need it. The rifle cartridges I wanted weren't in stock.Update Jan '23. Went for shooting range. The pricing was prorated after the 1st half hr. Which helps. The range wrkr was pleasant and helpful. There are two sections. Only one was open. Not busy on a wkday. The target hangars are fairly wide cardboard. Don't really wrk well with a standard target of maybe 11" by 14". Take some tape. There are wall and floor distance markers out to 10 yds. After that, you have to guess. The shooting booths are narrow. Workable, but narrow. The whole place was clean; including the restrooms. Fairly good ammo selection. Prices still high. Was able to shoot rapidly. It's okay if you're under control.Update May '24: A late review. Last time we were here, a few mos ago; there was no Range Officer. Also the floor in mid-afternoon was littered with casings. Another group of shooters were handling their weapons carelessly. Suggest you chk range situation out before paying for range time.

This was the first gun store I went into as I'm just getting into it and learning everything. The employees were extremely kind teaching me what I needed to do. I got to hold and look at a few weapons I was interested in.

I went there with my brother. I have never shot a hand gun before and I wanted to give it a try. Turns out , I'm a pretty good shot. I had a good time and you can rent different guns so if you were thinking about purchasing a gun you can " try it before you buy it ". I would definitely tell anyone who is interested in learning about firearms and firearm safety to check this place out.

I wasn't too impressed with this store/range.The prices are a bit higher on ammo and firearms than every other gun store.The employees have terrible customer service skills. They act like they don't need or want your business.This place looks good on the outside, but looking good doesn't mean it is good. I'd rather drive to NotJustGuns in Mason or freeze on an outdoor range than have to deal with the high prices and arrogance here.

Saw a new handgun I wanted and as Range 517 is just around the corner I went to seek further information. When I first arrived I was met almost immediately. As I explained what I was looking for the gentleman became very curt and condensing. I felt like a child being appeased. In the end I felt very uncomfortable. I worked IN high security prisons for 27 years and I never felt demeaned the way this man made me feel.

**HONEST OPINION** Prices are still pricey on product. CPL class is like a 7 hour video and 30 minute range time. On the other hand their range is phenomenal.

Awesome place! I felt very welcomed as a newer shooter. Place was clean, and staff very friendly. I can understand the price of the range, however for being indoors out of the elements, the electric target, and not having to clean up after yourself... It was definitely a nice treat in the winter!10/10 would go again! Very happy with our experience!

Range 517 is a solid place to shoot and buy firearms. Although they weren't slammed with customers, Shane spent at least 20 minutes with my son and I the first day we visited their facility and I appreciate that. I personally really like the staff and the option of membership is well-worth it for me. They are accommodating and professional. If you give respect, you get respect.
