    I'm a member of Ready, Aim, Fire... and I like the place quite a bit.

    The (new) owner is a good, stand-up guy. Everyone who works for him is equally praise-worthy in my opinion. They're friendly, knowledgeable, patient and very willing to work with new shooters... and they won't try to sell anyone anything they don't need. I've taken several novices there for their first time out and the staff has gone out of their way to treat them very well. Everyone I've taken there wants to go back.

    I like a lot of the things they do there, like the "Ladies Night," the "Youth Shoot," the IDPA Shoots and the fact that they always embrace any LEO who wants to come in and use their lanes.

    There are only two downsides to the place in my opinion:
    1. I wish the place was bigger... they get CROWDED on the weekends.
    2. I wish they had a rifle range... I want to break-in my new baby there.

    One other thing to remember: One you're on a first-name basis with the staff there (typically after 2-3 visits), you WILL be teased and you WILL have your balls broken! Don't worry... that's just the sense of humor that pervades the place. Learn to run with it and you'll be just fine.

    I've seen that place from the road, HOW THE HECK DO YOU GET THERE?

    I gotta agree with Marc here. I've been a member for almost a year now, and I have never had any issues with the place other then the size. I generally went weekday evenings to miss most of the crowds. They are also very knowledgeable about their products and will get just about anything you want in quickly as well.

    LOL I had the same issue when I first found the place.

    If you are driving north on Route 13 make a left on to Green Lane. (The WAWA will be on your right side). Then make the first left on to Ellwood Ave. (Right behind the motel). Make the first left you can in to the parking lot .. you will be coming in from behind the building.

    Hope this helps and enjoy your time there
