Freedom Outdoors

Service was very good, the person behind the counter was knowledgeable. A lot of selections on gun and rifles. The range was clean and well monitored they offered many classes. Will definitely go back and take classes

Came here for the USO Virginia Beach experience for military, veterans, and their dependents! I underwent two classes, in which I was able to shoot a Glock 17/19 and some rifles and weapon used by croatian. The safety brief was about 10-15 minutes, and the amount of people per class was between 3-6. We had our own station area, was taught how to load the gun with and without a gun loader, and was shown how to hold each weaponry. The Glock 17/19 were harder to aim but easier to hold. 19 was smaller than the 17. They were named after their patent rather than the size.Highly recommend the lessons!

Shout out to THOMAS for being absolutely helpful. This place has employees that are very knowledgeable of all things guns and outdoors. SO MUCH variety of guns and bow and arrows. A lot of hunting supplies too. And if you're not comfortable with guns or bows, they still have a selection of things you can use for defense, pepper spray, knives, etc. Good quality merch, kinda pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Shooting range is expensive but can be worth it depending on how you spend it. But other than that, highly recommend this place!

I have to agree with some of the other reviews from folks... In summary, the facility is great. I like the ability to shoot your shotgun and the range itself. It's clean and just easy to work with.However, the customer service... is practically non-existent. Do I need fairies and glitter dust when I arrive? Do I need you to treat me like your best friend? No... but honestly don't be a jerk. That's about the bar I'd expect before I mention anything. It's almost like there's a requirement for everyone to have no personality and have a "I'm better than you" mentality.Overall, I 'think' we'll be back, mainly because of the shotgun slug option. But other than that, it's an slightly-higher-priced range that is clean. Food Taste: n/aOverall Service: 2Ambiance - Appearance-wise an upscale gun range with an archery area.Value of food to cost: 3Facility: 4Repeat customer: maybe?Dog Friendly: no

Cool store but ..... pretty over priced your better off buying it offline or any other gun store in the 7 cities Range is kinda over priced bobs is way Cheaper and easier to shoot at. For how big the store is the ammo selection is pretty small. Side note there logo with the mountains on all there monitors looks like it's straight outta Montana or Wyoming. Over all there's better gun shops but they do have the cool factor

Freedom Shooting Center is definitely the best place in Hampton Roads to buy guns, as well as, the only range that's still open during Covid. They have, hands down, the widest selection of firearms in the area, from most of the major brands, whatever you want, from pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns, etc. They also sell boxes of ammo, firearm accessories, parts, and maintenance kits. Prices are appropriate for the area.Their range is state-of-the-art, with 34 lanes, temperature control, and experienced Range Safety Officers who are in charge of all range activities. They are also there to provide any support and advice to first time shooters or people who don't have a lot of experience dealing with firearms. I bought my first firearm at Freedom, a Walther PPQ M2. I first shot the PPQ at a range in Pennsylvania, which was before I joined the Navy. I really liked the feel and overall balance of the gun, and I've been looking for it in other gun shops in the area, but to no avail. Finally, I saw that Freedom had it in stock, and I wasted no time in buying it. The whole buying process was pretty smooth and pain free for me. However, I would like to point out some problems at Freedom, that needs to be addressed by their management. Their customer service isn't consistent. Their staff tend to either take their sweet time in answering phone calls OR they just choose not to respond at all. That's just unsat. Also, I've noticed from experience, even during hours when Freedom isn't busy, a customer can pace around the store for a long time before they are even approached by a staff member. That being said, Freedom is still the best range in the area and I would always recommend my friends and fellow shipmates who like to shoot guns, to go and get a membership at Freedom, or at least try it out first.When the zombie apocalypse happens and sh-t hits the fan, I know where I'm going...LOL

I am not from Virginia Beach and wanted to get some range time. I was told about Freedom Outdoors, so I looked them up and saw quit a lot of bad reviews. Bad customer service, rude staff, having to fill out paper work etc. I am from Wash DC and I didn't see any of that! Staff was great and answered all my questions about using the range, cost, and rentals. Helped my son choose a rental pistol, get targets, eye and hearing protection. I was called sir through the whole process.The selection of rental fire arms was quit extensive and ammo was very reasonable. Having never used their facility, yes I had to fill out information about me and watch a safety film, no big deal. Bottom line if I am ever back to Virginia Beach I will shoot at the range again.Semper Fi

Informative, helpful staff.A little pricier maybe than some places, but given that they're supporting a range, WELL worth it.Picked up a membership after my 1st visit.LOVE this place!

Wanted me to full out a form and sign a waiver for a box of 9mm ammo Freedom my a**Went a couple blocks down the road to a competitor Got it cheaper, no paperwork!

I came to buy a rifle case. Nothing that would require me to ID myself, I wasn't purchasing a firearm today. Every store I've been to you just get rung up and check out. Pay your money and leave. Guy at the counter says he needs my phone number to process the transaction. I've never heard of a system that needs your information to process a simple transaction. Go somewhere else for your needs unless you're in the business of handing out your information to whoever asks.
