LEPD Firearms

Gun range price is inexpensive. Other prices are high. Some employees are good some are arrogant and offensive. Prefer to pay higher price for better service.

The gentleman that sold me the gun was nice but the staff that ran the gun range it self were mean spirited workers. I had an issue with a jammed gun and was called a liar by one of the workers. Not sure if the guy was having a bad day or not but when I complained to the manager he was non respondent and basically said he trust his guys.
Not a good experience.

Who knew this girl would ever enjoy learning how to shoot a gun? Today was the first time that my husband and I learned to shoot a gun.
I’d have to say my husband looked like a pro even though it was his first time. When you’ve never had any shooting practice your required to have an instructor here. You pay for the session which is like $ 30, the head and eye gear which was like $ 3, the ammo which was $ 5.99 and extra $ 25 for the instructor.
I learned the basics of shooting and holding a gun today. I think if I had my own reading glasses I would have seen the target better. I wasn’t shooting in the middle. Maybe it’s because I was a little nervous being my first time shooting. Although I hope next time I won’t be as nervous. As well as bringing those glasses because my dominant right eye couldn’t get the target until the last few minutes of the 30 minute session.
I really appreciate the officer’s time teaching my husband and I to shoot today. The fact he had the patience to help me when I was just doing badly means a lot. He really helped me learn how to hold and shoot a gun on the range.
I’m definitely coming back soon. Hopefully with more confidence in my shooting ability next time! I know my husband will be back for sure with his buddy.

Just renewed my membership. Have had only good experience with this facility (visited the range approx 10 times over the last year). Safety is a priority.

I’ve been going here for a while now and finally wrote a review. The range tech is very nice and I have always had very smooth interactions with staff. Yes, they can be strict about safety but I hardly see that as a negative. The biggest thing for me, though, is there is none of the «elitist» vibe I get from places like Blackwing. Everyone is very welcoming and happy to let you shoot, even you if you aren’t open carrying half an arsenal.
LEPD is my new go-​to pistol range!

LEPD is a new contender in the Columbus Shooting range and firearms market. Okay, so they’re not like Grand Opening new, but then again, Shooting ranges don’t open every week either.
This place is hidden off of Bethel Rd in a pretty old strip mall near the Railroad underpass.
Our visit here was not bad at all. You can tell the place is run by family and family friends and everyone was pretty knowledgeable, or if they weren’t they would find out from someone else. The selection here is not the largest per say. I mean, I wouldn’t come in here expecting Vances, or Gander Mountain, but they’ve got a nice selection of pistols and revolvers for those looking to conceal carry. Rifle and shot guns were pretty few, but what they had in stock was pretty much new.
Gun pricing was not super competitive. However, pricing on their Shooting range was pretty good. The only drawback was since they don’t have a ton of lanes, they have time limits. Blackwing will allow you to shoot for as long as you’d like for a standard fee. I get it though, it makes sense seeing the size of the range, and I too have been one to suffer through waiting for some Yuppie show off to finish shooting his 500 rounds of ammo out of his 357 Magnum.
The salesmen weren’t pushy here, and didn’t give you that ‘I’m a cop and ex-​military’ vibe full of ‘No-​nonsense’ conversation and basically criticizing you for your choice of firearm. That’s really the breath of fresh air to this place.
If you’re looking for a place to obtain a CCL, they offer the classes, but their prices are pretty average going for the area.
I’d gladly come back. It wasn’t the biggest or greatest, but it was nice and well run.
Plus they had .22 ammo in stock. A real rarity.

Love it. Its a very clean range and the staff are very professional. I have started to make this my go to place to shoot when I do get range time

I go to this range regularly because it is close and I would love to give a fantastic review — but I cant.
1. The working associates treat everyone like they are doing them a favor by letting customers buy the service they are selling (Kind of what you get when you get a bunch of cops or ex cops together) It does not even occur to them that THEY are the service provider.
2. I get safety, but they give you so many rules its no longer fun for the experienced shooter.
2b. Tons of rules, but they will rent a poorly functioning handgun to a group of young inexperienced kids and just let them go at it.
3. Firearm prices are NOT competitive.
On the plus side, Range time is inexpensive.

I arranged a corporate event here for 7 people — service was absolutely wonderful: they reserved us lanes, gave us a discount, accommodated us when we were late and allowed us to shoot past their closing time, instructed us in a very friendly, helpful manner given our inexperience, and stayed with us the whole time to make sure we were happy and learning. Doug was our instructor and he was very knowledgable and friendly.
My only feedback is that it would have been nice to shoot a larger variety of guns (we shot handguns primarily and a shotgun — perhaps additional types)

This place has yet to disappoint. It’s nice to have a good, clean, well-​ventilated range with friendly staff in Columbus. I will no longer go to Powder Room or New Albany to shoot. I’m also done with Black Wing and the money grab that place has become. LEPD is my range. As for the shop, it will hopefully grow in selection and become more reasonably priced with time. I feel like it’s a great beginner’s shop for those looking for their first firearm.

Been here a few times with friends and family. One of my co-​workers recommend I try it out and we both went. Been a loyal fan, so far.
PROS:
Staff is very nice, friendly and knowledgable.
Store layout is roomy, and everything looks nice and neatly arranged.
Range has a great ventilation system!
For the most part, the clientele I’ve encountered so far are pretty competent, save for a rare newbie.
Location is really good. Down the road from the 315/​Bethel Road exit. Close to food and other shops.
CONS:
Membership is a little high for me. I just go Ala-​cartè.
Target rounds are so-​so. My guns jam a lot when I buy their rounds, never when i buy from elsewhere. (I don’t blame them, they just buy somewhere else too, I guess.)
That’s about it. I really like the place, I even bought a few holsters, a Marlin M60 22LR and will continue to patronize LEPD. I always recommend them to friends and co-​workers.

I am going to be completely honest… I am a novice shooter. I do not own a gun, but my boyfriend owns several and so do our family members. I’ve shot in a few ranges before, but I had a great experience here. My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday morning right as they opened. There was a line waiting to get in, so the place was pretty busy. They have a total of 12 lanes to shoot and they allow 2 people per lane. We got a half hour time slot and rented 2 hearing protectors and it was $ 13. We brought our own guns, ammo, and targets. Each lane has an automated target, so you can control the distance you want to shoot. They also had a light at each lane. There were 2 rooms with 6 lanes each. They had coat racks and tables behind each lane to hold your stuff. The staff was friendly, the lanes were clean, and we had a great time. Can’t wait to come shooting here again. And next time, I’m buying the zombie target. ;-)
