The Bullet Hole

I've been coming here for several years. My dad use to come here when I was in HS. The folks at the shop are very helpful if you just ask. They are all very knowledgeable and willing to help. I don't get the review comments about everyone being so rude... thats just not how it is. They may be short and to the point but it's a gun shop not a bar or coffee shop. They know their stuff and if that's off putting for you try one of the boutique ranges and sip your latte and ask for someone to hold your hand while you shop for some new clothes or home decorations. Prices are fare and I don't mind paying a bit extra at times to support a local shop that provides a great service for the area I live in.

Years ago, I bought a lifetime Membership. Less than a year later I was told that it was no longer Valid. I think he said the store was under new management. Someone told me he sold it to his Wife.

TL'DR - good large shooting range and gun store. Bit dated and dusty. I like it. Now for the novel:Been shopping here 20+ years, ever since I moved to town. They certainly do have the largest range in the area, upper floor is 15 or 30 lanes with target carriers out to 25 yards. Lower level is two open rooms for competition events; IDPA, IPCS, revolver, steel challenge and more. Nice conference room downstairs too. Lane fees are great - one fee for the annual membership - and you get to shoot free that day - and one flat rate for the lane for as long as you care to shoot. No hourly fees. Air handlers work well, pulling smoke and lead fumes downrange and out of your face. Air is directly pulled from outside, so it's right cold in the winter.After becoming a member (not sure of the time period) you can rent a wide variety of handguns to try out, and I understand they have recently gotten their machine gun permit and have rental machine guns there tool. Pull the trigger once - all 20 rounds fire off, unless you let go of the trigger.While busy, the employees have always been polite, even when I ask the same question 3 or 50 times in a row (usually about pricing and the colored tags). Their firearm selection is first rate, focused on personal protection. Pricing is better than you find at gun shows, and usually competitive with online shops. They've been very gracious in letting me look and handgun after handgun, knowing I''m not buying anything that day. They've helped me to purchase and installed TFO TruGlo sights on my handguns, fair price, on the spot turnaround and no labor fees. They offer reasonable prices on factory ammunition, and frequently have bulk ammunition sales. They also have reloading supplies, although I've never seen any reloading presses set up or for sale.Their accessory selection (holsters, primarily) has always been an afterthought it appears; they do have some holsters, but they are not in good order on the pegs and you simply have to fflip through to see what you can find. I don't blame them - with the diversity of makes, models and types of holsters, limited wall space, and brutal competition online, I wouldn't put a lot of time or energy into holsters. They could stand to clean it up and dust though.One less star for the store for cleanliness. Granted, it's an old building. Granted, millions of round have been shot in it. But it could stand a coat of paint, fresh carpet every 3 or 5 years, and a weekly detail clean of everything, and daily dusting. When it's busy, and they've had a ammo truck delivery, it's very crowded, hard to move around in during peak times. Try to come by at 10AM or 2PM instead of lunch or just after dinner when everyone else does.As I understand they've recently been bought out and now offer remarkably better communications, dozens of classes from the newest shooter to the grizzled old competition shooter through several vendors, not just the owners. Very pleased to see that, have taken one of my sons through their basics class and he was *geeked*. Wife and I did a couples / 2 person self defense class, and she was treated with respect, highly enjoyed the class and still brags on the class to this day. Long story short, big range. Good gun shop. 20+ year customer, will continue to do business with them.

Excellent place to learn about gun safety, how to handle a weapon,and target practice. The folks there are nice and knowledgeable. I became a member after the 2nd visit.

Nope. Not open on Mondays. I get some good practice here to maintain/improve skills. The facility has been here for decades and I imagine if someone wanted to build something similar these days it would never be approved. Hope they hang in there.

The bullet hole no longer sells firearms, providing only firearm accessories range rentals, and range. Time to shoot your firearms have a wide access wide selection of firearm accessories from holsters cases, ammunition sites, scopes belts, and more primary business is the shooting range. It's the largest indoor shooting range in Kansas providing two bays upstairs, one for pistol and one for rifle and two open areas downstairs along with a classroom that can be rented out for special events and competitions. They offer multiple competitions a week for pistol disciplines allowing you to practice your firearm skills. You can rent pistols to try out before you buy from another dealer. You can also rent machine guns to fire on their rifle range. They do sell ammunition specifically for the machine guns and you must use range ammo for your machine gun rentals. The staff is helpful and friendly as they can be given that they're no longer a gun shop, the shop is relatively clean well organized and reasonably priced. The shooting fees are not per hour, but for as long as you choose to shoot, they offer an annual membership which gives you more benefits more free guest passes, and more. I encourage everyone in Northwest Johnson County to check them out for your firearm shooting needs.

Great place.. nice employees. Will accommodate whatever your needs are and hold classes on conceal carry etc.

After receiving NO response from so-called independent gunsmiths online, I reached out via email to The Bullet Hole. Gunsmith GREG responded promptly, helped me order an old gun part I'd ruined, repaired the damage, and got me up and shooting in no time, for a reasonable price. I couldn't be happier with his expertise and pleasant demeanor. When I picked my firearm up on a Sunday, DAVID at the counter was just as great.

When in for my first visit while I was looking for a gunsmith to repair a stripped screw on my rifle. I went in asked to speak to the gunsmith and was told that he does not speak to anyone in store, and you have to email him. I was not aware of this, but everyone was courteous. They took a look at what I brought in, and I left it for repair. The gunsmith seems a little backed up as it's about a week since I dropped it off, but a good gunsmith will always be busy. I spoke with quite a few people before going here and was told the gunsmith did good work and was reasonably priced. I did not find anyone to be rude or anything as mentioned in some of the reviews. Looking forward to possibly making this my future go to shop when all is said and done. Will update this review as things progress.

Rude...yesNot really interested in your business..yesPlace looked like it is under construction. What a trash heap.Never going back
