Some exceptions will apply, at the discretion of the management.
TEST FIRING: We test fire every firearm we service with a minimal of 3 rounds for safety and function. There are charges that apply for test firing which cover ammunition costs, time spent firing, acquiring ammunition, trap maintenance, and risk. Charges for test firing begin at $10.00 and are rounded up to the next $5.00 increment when the ammo cost has crossed that $10.00 limit (We’ll use fair market value for factory ammunition). If you’d like to greatly reduce these charges, bring us your own ammo to test fire through your firearm. Please note that, for our own safety, if the customer wishes to provide us with ammo, we will ONLY accept FACTORY AMMO. NO RELOADS, NO EXCEPTIONS. If you have any questions about our test firing fees or procedures, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
