I can’t say enough of good things about this place !
I have been a member here a few years and I can’t say enough of good things about this place ! The staff there are so very friendly right from the desk at the front door and to all who work there . This place is very well organized and with the supervision of the monitors working the ports you can’t help but feel safe and secure while shooting there. They are very helpful and also the staff behind the counters. And last but not least meet Anthony a very nice and kind soul,always helpful to all of us ! Josie S
I finally went!… complete satisfaction!
I’ve seen the videos, seen the claims from others... and I finally went! From the incredible facilities, the more than 250 choices of firearms, to the extremely friendly and knowledgeable personnel: Gun For Hire is simply an incredible range and an experience of a life time that you can repeat over and over with complete satisfaction every single time! Special thanks to Anthony Colandro, Matt and Sandy! Gun For Hire rocks!!!!
Believe the hype….
Believe the hype.... I have known Anthony Colandro casually for several years... Not only though his podcast, but from him providing valuable personal advise and counsel. I don't get to the range very often and live about an hour away, and while I have stopped in before to drop off toys for tots or sign a petition, I had never had the opportunity to shoot in his range. Recently, I needed some "mail bonding time" with my 14 year old son, who I felt was getting desensitized to the repsonsibility of handling a gun... thanks to video games, particularly Fortnite... and I thought was ready for his first firearms experience. Despite an hour drive, and likely wait because if the holiday vacations, I knew there was nowhere else that I would want him to have his first live fire experience. I started my shooting years ago at Ray's Sport Shop, which is long out of business, and was the traditional, "old buys club" experience... Not particularly welcoming to newcomers or kids, and dark, dingy and dirty. Gun for Hire at Woodland Park Range could not have been more different from Ray's... Family range, incredibly diverse crowd, friendly and helpful staff, clean facility, 6-star worthy... I could go on and on. Most impressive was that Anthony took time from his busy schedule to greet my son and even give him a "Challenge Chip" to learn firearms safety. I think my son even convinced my reluctant wife to give it a try next time. If you are within driving distance, make the trip, you won't regret it!
We had such a blast!
We had such a blast. We loved the power of the Barrett 50 BMG. Just an awesome experience. We've been coming for years here. Michael was great. The staff was great. Anthony always says hi and ask how everything was.
The owner and staff make everything so pleasant…
The owner and staff make everything so pleasant. Upon my first visit they welcomed me by saying welcome to the family. There was a very warm friendly yet happy energetic vibe. Everything was neat and clean, the staff was fast paced and organized. It was very therapeutic for me to destress from my toddler. Dont be intimidated if you never went shooting before, the staff is very helpful, patience, and informative. I recommend anyone and everyone to try them out such a nice place!
First time for me and my son…
First time for me and my son shooting the staff was very nice and helpful the owner was going around greeting and chatting with the people definitely going back
the place is nice!
the place is nice. and the best part is that we don't need license for shooting
Professional and Extremely Fun!!
My girlfriend and I wanted to learn how to shoot pistols and we found “gun for hire” on google the establishment was well kept and the staff practice courtesy, professionalism, and were very respectful! J-kawn assisted us and was very informative and laid down a great foundation for us. We had a blast learning our first time. We will definitely return and bring others along next time.
I had the best time ever!
This was first time ever at a range. I had the best time ever! The staff was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and attentive. The list goes on. Overall we felt comfortable and taken care of. Our instructor Leopoldo was simply the best! We will definitely return and even consider some of their classes.
From the moment we walked in…
From the moment we walked in it was a great experience. The Owner Anthony was very welcoming. Once we filled out the paper work we selected our guns and went to the range. The instructors were very attentive and knowledgeable. Leopoldo was very helpful and gave us great pointers. Looking forward to going back and learning more. Thank you GFH
Had a great first time at Gun for Hire!
Had a great first time at Gun for Hire. Michael, our range instructor was very helpful, thorough and all around great guy. Thanks, we'll be seeing you again!
check-in process was super smooth….
My husband and I came here as first time shooters. The staff are nice and professional and check-in process was super smooth. Our instructor Henny was very patient to answer all the questions we had and he made things very clear for us. We were allowed to take our time. It was a fantastic experience and we would recommend this place!
This place is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This place is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the staff are super patient and the gun selection is really nice!! Thanx henny for helping us out!! I left feeling pumped and energized!!!

Best day ever!!
Best day ever!! This is our second trip to Guns for Hire and it was such a great day. John W not only ran the floor, he went above and beyond to help out when needed, his knowledge and understanding of weapons was impressive. The entire staff stepped up to help and guide when needed but John truly saved our day when we had an issue with our weapon. He got it fixed and explained what had occurred. A true teacher!! Trust me they are worth the trip from anywhere. We came from Long Island and will be back. Facility was clean, beautiful indoor range.
It is a very clean and safe facility…
If you are going to go to a range in the Tri-State area, you must go to Gun for Hire. It is a very clean and safe facility with very knowledgeable employees. Today, our Range Master was John M who was the most helpful yet and that's saying a lot given that I have always had a good experience.
it was my second time shooting at gun for hire…
I was shooting today, it was my second time shooting at gun for hire but was my first time shooting the ak47, I was well instructed by Leopoldo he was really kind and helpful.excellent service looking forward to come back soon!
good job of teaching my family…
My instructor J-Kawn really did a good job of teaching my family and I how to handle the glock and the rules of the range. We had an amazing time shooting the glock and the AR-15. Definitely coming back here in the future
I truly can’t say enough about how much I really enjoy going to Gun For Hire…
I have been to quite a few shooting ranges but I truly can't say enough about how much I really enjoy going to Gun For Hire in Woodland Park, NJ. Every single member of the staff form the people who greet you at the entrance, to the range officers, right up to the owner himself - everyone is eager to help, incredibly knowledgeable, polite and friendly. The facility itself is immaculate and I love that they have 2 separate indoor ranges, one 25 yard and one 50 yard. Special thank you to Manager Jimmy: Thank you so much for assisting me with my sons rifle, finding the problem effortlessly and making the necessary adjustments on site. You're the best!
Very well run!
Our instructor was Henry. H was excellent. The place was run very professionally. We had a great time
Can I give this place 6 stars?
Can I give this place 6 stars? This review is for our semi-private session with Tom Giordano. There's 4 of us (2 friends have never tried shooting before). I reached out to Jimmy who connected me with Tom so we were coordinating before the holidays on what our options are, how much it would cost and how many people they can accommodate. Thank you for accommodating all of us on such short notice. I have been shooting before but I found it helpful and informative to have the classroom session with Tom. He emphasized safety and the mechanics of the gun and how to hold it properly to minimize recoil / movement. This helps in precision shooting. I also learned what my dominant eye is so that's what I use to aim better. During live fire, tom would check in on me periodically and give me little tweaks to better my aim. My grouping is pretty good at 15 yards so he recommends next time I come in to have a private session so I can work on holster draws, and more fun targets. With my friend's membership, we ended up paying $70+. The membership is totally worth it - you get guest passes, 12 free gun rentals, discounts on port rentals, gear, ammos and targets. I would love to continue working with Tom to better my skills.
Parking is abundant which is always my concern…
First, if this is your first time here, the process is simple and quick. Parking is abundant which is always my concern when looking up places in NJ. The front desk explained the paperwork that needed to be signed and often joked with us as we were filling it out. This is well organized for first timers and the staff here makes it very welcoming for guests. Second, the staff behind the register and the weapons were so patient and made sure that we understood the different options. I was a bit confused on the packages they offered and had to make a last minute change. My friends came in a bit earlier and were already on line but the staff managed to squeeze me in with them so I can fire with them and I was so grateful for that flexibility. Third, the instructors couldn't be any more clearer and helpful as we were getting oriented to the weapon. Concise instructions and useful walk-through on how to use the weapon safely and how to act while on the range help made this experience smooth, comfortable and easy for all the members in my party. Helpful reminders on how much time we had on the range rather than surprising us by kicking us when our time is up off was greatly appreciated. And lastly, afterwards, one of the owners stopped by and chatted with us. He genuinely wanted to know how our experience was before we left. Despite our conversation lasting for only 5 minutes, we all left feeling like actual valued guests. In the area and want to learn and fire some weapons safely? Check this place out!!
Love GFH and their team!…
Love GFH and their team! As a new gun owner I've went to a couple ranges in my area to see what's around and prices but GFH is definitely in my opinion the best and cheapest. No sign up/club fees for basic membership, super cheap if you go with a friend or two but even by yourself it's not bad. Can't comment on how much it would cost for rentals but the targets are the cheapest around so if you need to get everything in one spot you're not paying an arm and a leg for range ammo. Now they're adding 60+ more ports apparently, there should be no wait times at all. Also all their wait times are over calculated so if they tell you and hour it's really about half that time.
So. Much. Fun.
So. Much. Fun. I had to give this guy my number three times because I forgot to bring my membership card. Not complaining, he was really cute and I was secretly hoping that he'd have memorized my number by then so he can call me to hang out sometime. I hope he has good memory! Lol We rented a 40 caliber gloc and a 45 caliber gloc and since we have this coupon, we were able to rent both guns for the price of one. Tip: come on a weekend and ask about this promo, come on a weekday to avail of the discount. My friend bought earmuffs and glasses so she didn't have to rent hers, but rental for these cost a little over $7. So if you know you'll keep coming back, it's worth buying your own. My friend also bought fun targets online so we didn't have to buy from the range. This time, I was able to try 15 yards and 20 yards without sucking at it and it was pretty fun. Someone in the range was shooting a desert eagle so I was a little distracted. The instructors made sure everyone was following protocol and it's safe for everyone in the range to shoot. Michael was pretty helpful advising my friend how to hold the gun to have better aim. They're all very friendly and helpful. Besides working on my groupings, I'm starting to practice pacing my shots so I can aim and shoot with a time limit. Next time I'm going to book a personal instructor so I can advance my skills. It's a great skill to learn - safety above anything else and have fun with it! They have a wide range of guns to practice from. I personally like pistols but they have rifles too. Absolutely NO [...]
This place was very friendly, informative and safe.
This place was very friendly, informative and safe. my instructor Ray was a delight to work with. for my first time he made me feel very comfortable with a fire arm. i would recommend all first time shooters to sign up and try Gun For Hire.
the best facility I have ever been to…
This Gun Range is without question the best facility I have ever been to. The cleanliness, the environment, the staff you just can not compare this to any other gun range. It's more like a family entertainment place like Disney or Great Adventure.. But with guns! lol Whatever agency does their marketing and website is spot on. All info is easy to follow, graphics are amazing and I saw they also have several languages on their site as well. I'll be coming back with more friends and family. This place is my new safe space. Thank you Gun For Hire! PS: They have discounts for ANY Law Enforcement, Fire, EMT, Doctors and Nurses.. basically anyone who goes into danger when others are safe at home. This is why I love these guys!
Best shooting range I have ever been too…
Best shooting range I have ever been too...hands down. Range captains were great and took time to teach my son how to handle the gun, load it, and shoot it. Owner (Anthony) took time to come out and talk with us. Great first experience at a state of the art facility. Can't wait to go again!
For my son’s 18th birthday he wanted to shoot….
For my son's 18th birthday he wanted to shoot. Did some research and found this range was one of the only ranges that rent guns and will allow my 18 year old to shoot. Called and spoke to Anthony who happens to be the owner. Drove over an hour from NY to get there and so happy we did. All the staff were great from beginning to end. Lots of staff, very safety oriented. Love that. My son and I had only shot 22s and shotguns at summer camp and my daughter had never shot any gun ever. Picked out a handgun and a rifle to try out as per the staff's recommendations. Took a while to get the guns, they take safety very seriously, guns were given to us in LOCKED cases that only staff could open. We were shown to the range where we got a quick but thorough safety lecture and demo of how to operate the guns. Then the fun began. They were very helpful and patient as this was a first for us. All around great experience. Will definitely come back!!! Anthony, you have a first class operation here. My son was so thrilled, he had a memorable 18th birthday and for that sir I thank you and your great staff!!!
First Timer!!! Will come back again….
First Timer!!! Will come back again. The proscess went fluidly without a hitch. Met the owner,eveyone was friendly and VERY helpful in all needs. The room makes you anxious, you have to remember you're dealing with REAL firearms, pay close attention. They walk you through the proscess, it may be difficult listening over the guns going off but they do repeat if they need to & there is ALWAYS someone watching to make sure you're doing everything correctly and safely. They dont make you feel alone, which was reassuring. They also dont make you feel awkward or out of place, which was one of my fears. The 60 minute window goes by fast. I was with a group of 3 and we almost didnt get to our second gun. They were really kind in the exception and letting us finish up for the next 10-15 minutes. I was more than happy and pleased.Will reccomend this place to others. THANKYOU!!!!!
My experience at gun for hire is amazing !!!!
My experience at gun got hire is amazing !!!! I am new in shooting and I had the perfect instructor John M to teach me !! He showed me how to grip , stance and pull the trigger !!! Very friendly and understanding... I definitely recommend him and this gun range!!!
Wonderful Experience
My boyfriend and I went to Gun for Hire the other day and had a great time. It was my first time ever shooting a gun and the staff gave a in depth lesson and made us feel very safe and comfortable. Michael was fabulous!! Everyone there was so friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend and would go back!!
Professional and Extremely Fun!!

Amazing staff!! Today my 8yr old wanted…
Amazing staff!! Today my 8yr old wanted to shoot for his bday. The instructor Henry was awesome with him. He showed him everything from holding correctly, to loading rounds, to firing. My son caught on so quick with Henry that it looked liked he was a sniper with that .22 bolt action lol. My son even had to buy the hat to show everyone at school where he went. 4hrs later and he still won't take the hat off, telling everyone how much fun he had today!
I took my sister in law, Natalia, who is from Moscow…
I took my sister in law, Natalia, who is from Moscow with me for a visit to the GunsForHire gun range. Our experience was fantastic. Our instructor Michael B and the reset of the staff and instructors were very friendly and helpful. It was Natalia's first time shooting a hand gun and the instructor took extra time to show her the correct way for grip the SiG 226 she was using. Great experience that I would recommend for first timers or experienced gun enthusiast! Thanks to the staff and instructors GunsForHire for making a great lasting memory with my family! We will definitely return shortly!
I would give 10 stars if I could…
I would give 10 stars if I could... I had a great time here. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, they treat you like family here. I cant remember everyone's name but special shout out to Jimmy, Kelly and Anthony.
One of the best times shooting I have ever had !!
I do not go to the range every week, every month, and as a matter of fact I have only gone enough times to count on one hand. But I have to say Gun For Hire has been my most favorite experience so far. First off they have every single gun that you can think of. Excellent rates. And most importantly very attentive staff. Kelly the manger was very welcoming when I arrived. She showed me around and answered all of my questions. All of the guys that checked us in were super nice too! Anthony was the best instructor. He made it very fun, while also teaching important shooting lessons. I can’t wait to return and try shooting a shotgun. Thank you Gun For Hire !!!
Always a great time. Staff always willing to help…
Always a great time. Staff always willing to help, yesterday had a problem with my new pistol, and all jumped in to help get it fixed. Special tks to Kevin O.
The Best Range you can go to!
The Best Range you can go to! Family friendly everyone is attentive and helpful. It was my first time at Gun For Hire and I had never handled a firearm, so I was a little nervous. These nerves were eased very quickly when Gary assisted me. Doesn't matter who you are they are great to everyone.
Hands down,Best experience ever.

More options than most places. I am experienced shooter but my daughter is not and the staff made her feel really comfortable. Affordable prices, not too much of a crowd
First time there and I felt really safe…
First time there and I felt really safe with the instructors being there because of the knowledge they had about every gun... loved itttt !!! Very organized would definitely go again.
This is my first time at a gun range…
This is my first time at a gun range on the east coast I also haven't shot a gun in a few years. My dad and I came on a Sunday rainy day last Sunday in October. Youre immediately greeted when you enter and asked to fill out a form sadly I don't even remsmber what was on if but following that we watched an video along with other people basically about the safety and rules in the gun range. Next we went on to pick out the guns we wanted to shoot with. For a first time visit it was about $200 maybe $220 with the rental of guns, targets, the glasses and ear Protectants. We had an amazing instructor by the name of Ginger who was extremely helpful and made us very comfortable. My Dad was so comfortable that after a while we were able to shoot on our own. I would definitely come back again. I felt extremely safe and really enjoyed myself. I also loved shooting with a Ruger 380 and with recommendation was open to trying out bigger guns with more power and now I'm in love. Thank you for a great experience.
Fun
I had a great time every thing was great especially the staff . They was very helpful and full of hospitality . This was my first time here but it won’t be the last .. Gun for hire keep up the great work .
Great time for me and my kid…
Great time for me and my kid....awesome time for all ages. John M was a great instructor.
Great Time!
I had been there once before and had such a great time that I told my friends about it. We set up a date to go and they had as much if not more fun! We rented a .357 magnum and a tavor and loved both. Or instructor, Andrew, was great too, he was very educated on gun safety and knew exactly how to teach my newcomer friends. I’d very much recommend people give this place a try, if not for the fun then for the experience.
Grandfather
Very pleased with range and range marshals. Expert help and loads of acknowledgement. Pleased and proud to have John M and his colleagues at our side. Me and my grandson (9 years old) were all smiles after a very enjoyable experience sighting in a .22 scoped pump action at 25 yards and making really tight groupings with our Winchester 94 using our own 150 grain reloads.
很不错的室内靶场
很不错的室内靶场,工作人员也很认真负责,并且友好。希望能再开一个室外靶场。 Very nice indoor range, staff are also responsible and friendly. Hoping to open another outdoor range.
We had a great day. Neither of us had ever handled a gun…
We had a great day. Neither of us had ever handled a gun. The entire staff was safety conscious and focused on teaching us all the proper techniques. Recommended a Glock 19 to start. Andrew set us up and showed us how to properly handle a gun, load it, aim, stance, etc... we had so much fun and felt so safe and secure. Top notch professionals!
First time visiting…
First time visiting and John M was incredible! So nice and helpful! Gave me a lot of confident with the weapon! Had amazing visit thanks to him!

This place was awesome!! Had a great time.
This place was awesome!! Had a great time. We all felt very comfortable. John our instructor was awesome!! We came from Long Island and it was so worth the drive. My husband and I can’t wait to go back. We took our boys who are 15 and 17 who were a little apprehensive just bc they were with us. After the first 5 minutes, nothing but smiles.. We will definitely be back!!
Brought my dad for his 60th birthday…
Brought my dad for his 60th birthday. We had a great time. Our instructor John was hilarious and always very attentive. We will definitely be going back.
I have been going to Gun for hire since 2013…
I have been going to Gun for hire since 2013, the range staff are great and make you feel welcome. The whole facility is spotless. Anthony is a down to earth guy, I have sat down talked to him on a personal level. It’s good to know that there are people like him in the fight to protect our rights. I also recommend to listen to gun for hire radio.
Wonderful experience!
Hk 45 & AK 47 Wonderful experience! I have to learn how to shoot to become a real man (woman)! Thank you Bruno our instructor!
I went to the range today for date night…
I went to the range today for date night and the experience was great from start to finish. I have wanted to come to this range for quite some time and was finally able to do so. The staff is super friendly! As soon as we came in we were instantly attended and asked to fill out some paperwork so they could hand us our little cards. Once we finished with that we went to go get our gun rentals and ammo. The woman that attended us was very knowledgeable about guns and recommended that we try the 9mm pistol which we both did. We asked for an instructor since it was the first time we were both there and Tim was extremely helpful! He was very nice and patient when teaching us how to properly handle, load and unload the gun. We got one pack of 50 bullets and were able to go about 4-5 rounds or so each since we were at the same port together. If you've never shot a gun before the nerves will definitely kick in for the practice bullet and probably the first round but after that you get used to the little kick that the gun has. I would definitely recommend this place. My partner also loved this place and said he had such a better experience at Gun for Hire considering he went to a range in the Poconos and hated it there. I definitely want to come back here to work on my target skills.
what an excellent facility and staff that is created here…
I have been a member of this excellent range for four years and cannot profess what an excellent facility and staff that is created here. It always extends a warm welcome to all, and as safety is placed first, the well trained staff are there to assist with the smallest details to ensure a safe and fun experience every visit. As a gold member, I was invited to the Gold member event for a trap shooting and food fest, and this was yet another outstanding and well organized event. I cannot laud the team that Anthony and Jimmy have created here, and I am proud to be a part of their family, they really mean that! I would heartily recommend a visit to anyone wanting to try shooting for the first time, without any fear of judgement or intimidation. Great for a family trip too! Well done lads and keep up the good work, andy
had a great Saturday night…
John and Stephen were a great help, we got there a bit late and they made sure we finished our rounds and had a great Saturday night. Thank you, we won't wait so long to return this time .
As 2 Dutch guys it was our first time shooting…
Very nice shooting range with helpful staff. As 2 Dutch guys it was our first time shooting and we shot with a Glock, an AR-15 and pump Shotgun. Went there with my 16 year old son and he also had a blast. We came from New York and its definitely worth it.
Great selection, good location, beautiful facility…
What's not to like about this place? Great selection, good location, beautiful facility... But what really sets guns for hire apart is the staff. so knowledgeable and just all around awesome people. Im proud to be a Red, White, and Blue member.
Probably the best range I have ever visited…
Probably the best range I have ever visited. The staff are very nice, approachable, knowledgeable and make you feel at ease while you are in their presence.
Doesn’t get any better than this…
Doesn't get any better than this. The staff is totally knowledgeable. They have so many great classes for men women and children. I've taken a few classes and my 16yo daughter took a kid's class. It's really a family friendly range. You will not be disappointed
Very helpful and courteous, the range is gorgeous…
Great place, Anthony and his entire staff are great. Very helpful and courteous, the range is gorgeous.
Unbelievable first time experience!..
Unbelievable first time experience! John and Si were the best. Couldn't have asked for 2 better guys to help us get comfortable. And very accommodating with the wheelchair even on the Barret .50 Cal. Definitely worth the drive from Long Island!!!
VERY. friendly, professional staff…
My wife and I visited Gun for hire on a recomendation from my daughter. We were met at the front desk by two very friendly people who then gave us paperwork to fill out. We then were met by Anthony...the owner who escorted us to an awsome lounge, which not very many people get to see. After we were done filling out the forms. We then went to get ear and eye protection, again met more VERY. friendly, professional staff. We brought our own guns but my wife borrowed a 9mm M & P Shield and loved it. This range is AWSOME!! They have every gun you can think of including a 50cal. Barrett. (Hold on to it). The prices are super reasonable. The owner is way cool. and EVERYONE that we delt with were friendly and professional. This is a no B.S. Range so if your gonna come.,Listen, follow the instructions. Be safe and you will have a great time at one of the best ranges I have ever had the pleasure to visit. THANKS LAURA. and Thanks to everyone who made our visit memorable. JOE & LILLIAN NAMIK
Great atmosphere. Professional staff.
Great atmosphere. Professional staff.
the quality of my experience will have me coming back here again
Overview: Excellent range, Excellent Staff and an Overall Fantastic experience. Even if prices are slightly better elsewhere, the quality of my experience will have me coming back here again hopefully soon. BRET was an AWESOME instructor. Our day: From walking through the door with my friend, we were greeted by the front desk for our 1st time registration cards. After we filled out the necessary paperwork. We went to the back to pay for our 1st rentals, Glock-19 / AR-15, ammo, safety gear (ear phones and glasses) and a 1-hour session in the 25-yard Range. We walked into the range area with our firearms and were greeted by a Range Safety Officer (RSO), then assigned a lane. Another RSO, Brett, was the one who gave my friend and myself our safety brief and instruction. Brett was the thing that made our trip from NYC worth it and separated Guns for hire from other gun ranges. After we finished our 1-hour session we got advice from Brett to go to the 50-yard range and asked if he can come with us after lunch and he did!!! After going to a place next door to eat. We came back to rent a precision rifle, a Remington .308. It was Awesome!!!! Brett really stuck with us and gave us great pointers to get our accuracy to another level. We are both so excited after our time at the GFH that my friend and I started to fill out a rifle and shotgun license application when we got home and started to plan our return trip. Bottom Line: For 1st timers and people who have shot before, this is the range I would recommend going too.
He made me and my sons first time shooting a “blast”
John was the best instructor. He made me and my sons first time shooting a "blast" lol Awesome place! Definitely will go again!!!!!!
He advises us on what to rent, guns, ammo, etc.
Super easy to sign up as first timer. Weekdays BOGO! Short lines. Instructor Frank was great! He advises us on what to rent, guns, ammo, etc. Instructor John is the man! Funny, energetic, knows how to make things awesome! Only reason why we missed the targets was because we were laughing the whole time! Definitely coming back!
Great place for first timers…
Great place for first timers to learn how to shoot and learn about guns in a safe environment. Very knowledgeable staff and helpful/friendly instructors (Laura and Frank helped us) made for a great experience. Overall everyone was helpful and friendly and the staff were able to guide us towards the right guns to use for our first time. Have seen reviews mentioning price being a bit high, but the service and quality you are getting feels very much worth it to me!
Went there with my girlfriend…
Went there with my girlfriend. It was our first time ever shooting a gun. Thought it was important to have a little bit of knowledge on guns. We started off with a revolver, then to a Glock 19 and then to an AK-47. It was a smooth transition and our instructors Mike and John made it very simple and comfortable for us. It was a great experience and I'll definitely be back with my friends to try some other pieces.
This Is My Favorite Range…
This Is My Favorite Range I Took My Brother Out And He Actually Did Very Well They Treat Me Like Family Everytime I Come There And If Help Is Needed They Will Assist No Questions.
Awesome savings for gun and ammo
Awesome savings for gun and ammo very friendly service my first time there my instructor was very awesome name Henry if you go there definitely ask for Henry
I had so much fun at Gun for Hire!
I had so much fun at Gun for Hire! This was definitely a great date idea. I bought the Groupon for about 70 something bucks. Depending on what time of the day you go it may be busy. We went around 3/4pm and it was busy but wasn't too bad. Our instructor's name was Henry and he was very nice. It is very loud in there so keep that in mind. I honestly left with a headache from yelling BUT that does not change the fact that I had a great time. I will definitely be back to try a different gun. The groupon that I used was a pistol which isn't that big but it was powerful. Definitely an unforgettable experience.
Day Date at Gun For Hire!
i bought the package for two to surprise my husband with a fun date night. neither of us had shot in a couple years - because... well because we have two very young babies and those suckers are demanding! we finally visited the range today and had an awesome time! the range was MUCH bigger than we expected and to my surprise ridiculously clean and bright. the woman at the front desk welcomed us and answered a couple of questions we had about safety and how long the range was in business. our package included an intro lesson which we decided to take as a refresher even though we have both shot many times. our instructor was clear and patient and actually very funny. he set the tone for a great experience! the range was very busy. The staff kept things moving like a well oiled machine but we never felt rushed! My husband and I counted 9 range safety officers which let us know safety is a top priority at Gun For Hire. Our 45 minutes of port time went by fast but we are very excited to get another date at the range on our calendars! The t-shirts and tattoos were a fun takeaway to remember our experience.
My wife recently got her FID…
Good seeing you today. As always, no better experience. My wife recently got her FID and some P2Ps so she can get something of her own for protection and to take on her own to the range to practice. I brought a number of my handguns, but she was struggling with grip and deciding what was good. I called John over, and his help was invaluable. After trying my guns, he took her to the rental counter to feel some others. Between John and Bianca’s advice and help, she narrowed it down to the H&K VP9 and Glock 19. I rented both, and with John’s help we found what she really liked. I never would have been able to help her, and she walked away saying it was her best experience shooting at the range ever. Your staff is wonderful - thanks.
Simply spectacular
The experience was fantastic. We will be back for at least two days next year. One day is a great start but two would have been better. We had such an extraordinary instructor MATTHEW “Matt” ask him to guide you it will truly be memorable And the cherry on top of what was exceptional is the 50 cal BMG is a must at the end of your day We often speak about it and can’t wait to return See their videos and photos!
Very nice from start to finish
On or last day on the east coast of our holiday trip (we, 4 people from Germany) decided to go shooting and we picked this location. We arrived with a bus near the location. After we arrived at the shooting range, we were really surprised by the friendly and helpful personal. Everyone was really nice and helped us with our "paperwork" (i guess they need it for legal reasons). I have to mention that we already booked something so that 2 persons can shoot with a handgun and an (i guess) ak47. We extended it by one person which was an option so that we can shoot altogether (the fourth person was not that much into shooting 😀 ). From the reception to the counter, where we got our weapons and stuff, to the instructor, everyone was nice to us and we felt very comfortable asking questions. The shooting was awesome! We never did this before and for me personally, it was one of the best experiences here. While we only booked one hour the instructor was so kind to let us shoot all the ammo we had (which was somewhere between enough and a lot) and we enjoyed it! After we shooting, everyone smiling, we also got 2 souvenirs for free (you can also buy cool stuff there) and then we asked at the reception for a guy who welcomed us and which whom we had a really nice talk and he offered us to take us to a nearby from where we can drive back to our hotel in Manhatten with the bus. It turned out that he was one of the managers (i guess) of the shooting range. TLDR: we had a very nice and friendly experience from start to finish with all our wishes fulfilled and all our expectations exceeded 🙂
Dreams do come true… Hit the 1,000 yard target
Jimmy, I just wanted to drop you , and your staff, a little note for all of your help during the Urban Long Range shooting class. Before taking your class my only experience shooting a rifle was with an old 22 Remington bot action that i shot to probably no more than 200 yards. I took the class with a little apprehension . 1000 yards? Was it even possible? But after taking the class , paying attention to what was being taught and putting it into practice at the range. I was able to reach that lofty 1000yards. Hitting that target that day was one of the greatest feelings you could imagine. But was it pure luck? Shortly after the class i decided that i just had to try it again. I searched all over the internet for a range that had a 1000 yard field. The closest range was in the middle of the state , I live in PA, 3 hours away. so a 6 hour drive back and forth just to try and repeat what I had thought to be just pure luck shot. To me it seems like it was worth it. So a friend and i joined the Mifflin County Sportsmens Association in Lewistown Pa. Finally we were able to set a weekend to drive out to the range over the Labor Day holiday. Once we got to the range we had to hurry and set up the targets. Little did we know that actual shooting started started at 1:00 on Sunday because of church and we got there at 12:30. We had to to hurry up and drive out to the 1000 yard burm, and set up our target, our 500 and 200 targets also. A couple of the other shooters had targets at all the in between yardages. [...]
Great shooting range
My wife and I have been coming to this gun range for about 3 years now. It was always a great experience especially the guys inside the shooting area. Today I took my grandson with me and while he was shooting the .22 Ruger rifle jammed and stopped working. Gabe was very helpful and even took the rifle to the on-premises gunsmith. 15 minutes later they fixed it for free. Gabe really made our day. It is always great when people go that extra mile help you. And it was a great lesson for my grandson - do your job well and it is rewarding for all involved
instructor was extremely patient and helpful…
Had fun,instructor was extremely patient and helpful. The lady at the counter help us pick the right firearm. Would definitely recommend this range for beginners as well as the professionals.
I’ve been taking Gun For Hire classes
I’ve been taking Gun For Hire classes before they even had their own range. I feel like I’ve watched Anthony’s empire grow from an infant to a teenager and soon an amazingly successful adult (after the opening of Mt Gunmore!). Anthony has been beyond gracious to SAW (second Amendment women)! The comfort level at Gun For Hire surpasses any other range that I have been to. I’ve dropped in with my family just to say “Hi”. In my first Gun For Hire class over 8 years ago, I heard Anthony say “Welcome to the family” for the first time. He’s not kidding; it’s a family, and you will certainly feel welcome! Thank you for the services that you provide the community, state and even nation (with your podcast). You have truly made a difference in my life. There is nothing more important than knowing how to keep your family safe and having a great place to prepare and train for such circumstances. If there were an option to add additional stars, I would!
Exciting first time shooting
Tried shooting for the first time. 3 teenagers and mom. We got a nice and warm welcoming by the staff. They made us feel safe, took good time to inform us about how to load and aim the gun and rifle. Safe weapons. The teenagers was euphoric about the experience!

The Best Gun Range Bar None
While I can admit I haven’t visit every range in the U.S. I have been at Gun For Hire Range and I can tell you that the facility is excellent and the staff is great and have a lever of customer service that you wouldn’t expect to receive at a “gun range”. The inventory has something from everyone and their Range Safety Officers are extremely knowledgeable and they have enough to assist everyone at the range. I’ve also done the require training at Gun For Hire Accademy to meet the requirements for NJ Firearms Purchaser Identification Permit and CCW class that allowed me obtain conceal carry permit from several states. Whether you are new to firearms or not I recommend you to visit GFH and it then a try, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED.
My wife and I visited…
My wife and I visited gun for hire for my 40th birthday from England, we had an amazing time, the staff were so friendly and professional, I would definitely come back if I were to visit the states again.

First time shooters from the UK…
Awesome day today here, first time shooters from the UK, all the staff made us really welcome and comfortable, ended up spending loads of time and money there, Johnny, Andrew, Marvin and Lee all really helped us out. A++ experience, make sure you get here on your NY / NJ trip.
First Time Shooting
This was my husband's first time, ever, shooting a gun! He's hooked! Gun For Hire is a great place for novices, like us, to learn! Our instructor, Stephan T. was great! He was extremely patient and knowledgable, making sure we where ready to handle the firearm safely & with confidence! We WILL be back! Thank you,Gun For Hire & especially Stephan, for making this the best xmas present, so far! Patti B
A full day of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious fun
Of the words I could use to describe our experience at Gunforhire, such as, fantastic, superb, tremendous, phenomenal, or monumental, I’d have to choose supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!! Damien our instructor gave easily understandable instructions across the weapons we used. And some little hints on how we could improve our accuracy. The AK47 (7.62) was my favourite. Heavier than the AR15 (5.56) but just felt more secure with its added weight. The accuracy was a little better as well with the scope, and no doubt the extra oomph using a bigger calibration. The Glock 17 (handgun) was hard to use. Remember to Grip, flip, clip, rack the Glock if you go. Much harder than you see on the TV/Movies. And the longer I aimed it, the more I shook. Even trying to “get the drop in the bucket” when the drop was wobbling. We chose the target sheets with the traditional round targets to shoot, so we could have a little competition to see who had the best shot. Which varied with the weapons. So I’d say it was a draw.....with the exception of the Barrett 50 cal. It’s $20 a bullet, which are the as long as an adult hand. My son was eager to have a go, so I figured we may never have the opportunity to repeat the experience, let’s have three each. Well I shot one round and he had five. It’s like firing a canon. Double set of ear defenders required. In ear and over ear. It doesn’t have as big of a recoil as one may expect, but the noise and gas expulsion, wow. In terms of accuracy, frightening. As a novice shooter, over 50 yards I clipped the centre of the target. Amazing. Regardless of your views on guns, a visit to Gunforhire will be an education and make your previous [...]
I love that place
Very experience men and women helpful and disciplined i love that place!
Best range in NJ
I am new to trip advisor but I have been going to Gun for Hire for a long time. I've been to a lot of ranges in and outside of New Jersey and they are the best. Clean, safe and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Top notch instructors I have already taken basic pistol, next step pistol, holster draw, defensive pen and I can't wait to sign up for urban pistol. Anthony is a patriot and if you haven't checked out the podcast you should,I listen to it every Monday on my way to work. So don't hesitate grab a friend or five and go have a great time.
Membership at GFH has been a life changing…
My last full day in NYC and I want to thank you again, for welcoming me into the GFH family last September. Membership at GFH has been a life changing and enriching experience--not only learning pistol shooting from Tom, who is wonderful,, but especially meeting and getting to know you and your team and becoming part of the great freedom-loving Americans who shoot, own guns, stand ready to defend the sheep and continue to fight for our constitutional freedoms. My best wishes for your success in the expanded GFH,, for your tireless fight for 2A and for a sweet summer. Stay strong, as you say, and I look forward to returning to GFH when I'm next in NY. Or perhaps travelling to Italy with you when you're between Asian beauties I luv you man, Allen
by far the nicest and most professional range in the area
This place is by far the nicest and most professional range in the area. The staff is very knowledgeable.
highly recommend the 50bmg experience…
Definitely worth a visit and highly recommend the 50bmg experience. Worth the money.
The experience was really good and very safe.
Damian, one of the range supervisors took us under his wing and gave us an excellent introductory brief and tuition. The experience was really good and very safe. However in the next bay to us a couple were firing a very large calibre hunting rifle that was very loud and somewhat alarming! Will visit again if our schedule allows. Great experience. Thank you ????
they are the best. Clean, safe and the staff is very friendly

Ohhh boy!!! Love GFH
Ohhh boy!!! Love GFH. If you like to shoot your gun and have a blast renting just about anything legal in N.J., you must visit GFH. Ask for Anthony he will personally take care of you if he's around. This range is a 5 star range, can't wait till they open the new one next door. Parking galore, and don't forget to bring Anthony a cigar. He loves cigars. Lol . Enjoy
It was my first time there…
It was my first time there, the staff was very friendly and helpful, they have a huge gun selection, this place is a lot of fun, I will definitely come back!!

Family trip & we can’t wait to go back!!
My daughter chose Gun for Hire as her 16th bd. She had a blast Henry/Instructor was the best he took his time on gun safety, patient with us, and felt safe at all time. I highly recommend for family and friends we cannot wait to go back!
Excellent range, Excellent Staff and an Overall Fantastic experience.
Overview: Excellent range, Excellent Staff and an Overall Fantastic experience. Even if prices are slightly better elsewhere, the quality of my experience will have me coming back here again hopefully soon. BRET was an AWESOME instructor. Our day: From walking through the door with my friend, we were greeted by the front desk for our 1st time registration cards. After we filled out the necessary paperwork. We went to the back to pay for our 1st rentals, Glock-19 / AR-15, ammo, safety gear (ear phones and glasses) and a 1-hour session in the 25-yard Range. We walked into the range area with our firearms and were greeted by a Range Safety Officer (RSO), then assigned a lane. Another RSO, Brett, was the one who gave my friend and myself our safety brief and instruction. Brett was the thing that made our trip from NYC worth it and separated Guns for hire from other gun ranges. After we finished our 1-hour session we got advice from Brett to go to the 50-yard range and asked if he can come with us after lunch and he did!!! After going to a place next door to eat. We came back to rent a precision rifle, a Remington .308. It was Awesome!!!! Brett really stuck with us and gave us great pointers to get our accuracy to another level. We are both so excited after our time at the GFH that my friend and I started to fill out a rifle and shotgun license application when we got home and started to plan our return trip. Bottom Line: For 1st timers and people who have shot before, this is the range I would recommend going too.
Great people, great service…
Great people, great service, and clean facility. I would highly recommend this place.
Always a great time at Gun For Hire
Always a great time at Gun For Hire, the staff are professionals and extremely courteous. You can’t ask for a better day at the range.
I absolutely loved the staff!
I absolutely loved the staff! That alone is a plus for me on top of this awesome range! ????????
Great time and a great instructor
I had a great time for my first time shooting. Our instructor Henry was patient and extremely nice. He made us feel comfortable and secure handling the guns. I highly recommend this place for a fun time out with family or friends
The Best of the Best
Have been to Gun for Hire several times, by far the best gun range in northern NJ. Also took the NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting course which was very informative and helped me get comfortable with hand guns. Great place! Highly recommend!
Will definitely be back…
John W and Anthony were a great help. They were thorough on explaining to us how to use rifles I have never shot before . Overall a great experience everyone was very professional. Will definitely be back.
Gun For Hire is an amazing gun range …
Gun For Hire is an amazing gun range that expands on the idea that anyone can use firearms in a responsible and enjoyable manner! The place is clean, well ventilated and has an unending lineup of friendly staff. The place is open to everyone and offers fun deals most of time. You can either bring your own gun (which is what I did) or you could rent a gun for a reasonable price! If you're looking for the best you can get out of a gun range, go here!
There is simply no other range like this
There is simply no other range like this. Anthony and his staff are the most friendly down to earth people you will ever meet. They simply do not tolerate any unsafe activity and all of the staff go out of their way to make sure everyone is having a great time. They rent pistols and rifles and sell various products you might need while at a range. If you have a problem just step back and let one of the Range Safety Officer's know, they come over immediately and will do what ever they can to assist you...
you can see why they are a 6 star range…
Great range you can see why they are a 6 star range, everyone that works there is really helpful, first class
