Coeur d'Alene Rifle & Pistol Club — Local services in Hayden

The staff was EXTREMELY rude and unwelcoming. I called before i went and asked if could shoot black powder firearms, and they said yes so i brought some of my blackpowder guns along with other guns. So i get there and the staff is very unwelcoming. Sign here, give me money, shoot, hurry up and leave seems to be their attitude. He acted like i wasnt worth their time like he wanted me to hurry up and sign in so he could get back to talking to his buddies like i disturbed him or something. Ok so i start shooting my blackpowder rifle and mr commando range officer comes over and says my blackpowder rifle is producing an awefull lot of smoke(well duh its blackpowder) so he asks me if i would stop shooting my muzzle loader. I said to him uhhh you said i could shoot blackpowder over the phone he says, well yeah but your muzzle loader is making a lot of smoke and he doesnt want it to bother other shooters even thought the wind was blowing the smoke far away from other shooters. So i just shot other guns i paid an overpriced amount of money to shoot here so im gonna shoot. And then when i was packing up a cease fire was called my guns were already put away and i left. I didnt break any rules and i was being safe. And range safety officer followed me out to the parking lot and stops me, says just for future reference when a cease fire is called no handling of firearms even though all my guns were cleared and put into their cases. I told him that i had already put them away and was walking out when the ceasefire was called. He said very rudely "it doesnt matter " so i said sarcastically "ok" and walked away. Its a great facility but the staff needs to change their attitude and actually seem enthusiastic. Because they just didnt...

If I could give negative stars I would... The guys that work at this range think that they can make up rules, every time I would do something they did not like they would come scold me for it... I am not a 3 year old with a uzi i am a adult shooting my hunting rifle. If i am packing up and leaving and while i am walking to go out the door with my guns and you change the range to clear i am not putting down my guns and waiting for the people to go down range and come back. If you do not want someone to rapid fire there 22rifle thats in a lead sled post it clearly in your establishment that you do not want people to do so also if i am doing something wrong that may kill someone by all means come down and talk to me but do not touch my gun it is mine not yours learn some respect! Plus a magazine that is empty in the bottom of a rifle that is laying on a bench and has its slide open is not going to harm anyone... I feel like they are a bunch of ex security guards thinking that they went billy bad ass cops... I will never go back i will go to a different range or go out in the woods. If you need some pointers on how to be nice to people i will gladly be here waiting to help with my middle finger up in your face.everyone reading this dont go unless you are okay with paying way to much and being scolded while you are shooting.i know gun safety and i assume they do to but damn might as well have everyone lock the guns up and chain them to the wall and put a Electric fence around them just...

Update 11/15/23 I had to correct the owners lies about my review. Now they edited their reply to say I’m not welcome on their range. You couldn’t pay me enough money to use this range. There are many other options that won’t lie about you and then ban you from the range for telling the truth. Just look at all the negative reviews and the range “safety” officer calls them liars too! We can’t all be liars. Absolutely pathetic!

Just inquired about membership and their safety officer was very rude to the point where I’m actually writing a review. Its a shame to see very unprofessional attitude towards the public. This creates more of a barrier for people who want to exercise their 2nd amendment right.

Update: 10/30/2023 In response to the "Owners" , I did ask him about membership twice. I asked on the phone about membership details and a tour if possible. When he rudely told me to go down the hill and park and to bring my ear pro, I did so. When I found him he asked which caliber I would be shooting. I replied 556 and he said it's all full because it's hunting season. I asked again about membership.. He gestured to another building and said it's over there and to come back another day. Overall I was treated like an outsider who didn't belong there. The owners tone and demeanor towards a possible member was very disrespectful and completely rude. The owner calling my review ‘dishonest’ is...
