Through Groupon, I was able to get a great deal at Close Quarters Tactical on firearm rental, ammunition and an hour of range time. This gave Dale and I a chance to get back on the range and also some time to just hang out.
When we walked in, we were not swarmed by pushy salespeople at all. We wandered the shop area checking out the cool stuff they have before heading to the counter to cash in on our deal.
The young lady who was working with us was very friendly and helpful. She even suggested which gun I might like to try out(Smith & Wesson M&P9). Dale ended up renting the Springfield Armory XDM that he was already looking at buying. After going through a safety briefing for the range area and getting eye and ear protection, we were in the booths on the range!
We ended up going through 100 rounds of ammo (instead of the 50 provided for on the Groupon) but the extra ammo wasn't priced too high. Both of us tried out both guns and Dale decided that he liked the S&W more than the XDM. We even went so far as to start looking into getting the S&W for our own use.
I think I asked a bunch of questions starting with "may I" but the gentleman I kept asking seemed to appreciate it more than be annoyed by it. Overall, the staff is friendly and helpful, but not overbearing at all. I loved that they had the exact gun that Dale wanted to try out anyway and we may have found our first firearm purchase.
In summary: I can't wait to go back to Close Quarters!
P.S. Sorry I didn't get any pictures. I was preoccupied and also didn't want to push my luck.
