Mike Raahauge Shooting Enterprises — Local services in Norco

Sort of hit or miss with staff. I've had good experiences as well as not so friendly and approaching confrontational experiences there as well. As an example, on one occasion I had replaced a barrel on my AR rifle, had bore sighted it at my shop and was testing some hand loads. I was approached by a range officer as I was setting up and asked what I was doing. I responded by informing him that I was testing my hand loads for accuracy. The range officer went into a unnecessary and semi-condescending diatribe on how the rifle must be zeroed at their 50 yard range before it could be fired here at the 100 yard range and that I must be new to shooting since I should have known that. Let's see...... 1.) I'm 57 years old, have been an avid hunter and shooting sports enthusiast since the age of 7or 8 when I was introduced to it by my father. 2.) I've been Gunsmithing and have built, sighted and accurized hundreds of firearms in addition to having produced hundreds of thousands of rounds of custom handloaded ammunition for rifles ,shotguns and handguns since the age of 12 or for about 45 years. 3.) In addition to extensive civilian training, I'm also a former U.S. Marine, so I'm quite familiar with firearm safety and the in's and out's of proper firearms handling and use. 4.) Upon finally firing the rifle at the 100 yard target "using factory ammo" just to foul the barrel, the laser bore sighting done prior to my arrival put a 5 shot sub MOA group within 4-3/4 inches of the bullseye which seemed to quiet the range officer immediately.

While I understand the need for safety and "range rules" there were about a hundred ways other than the way I was approached to determine if I was a "beginner as he put it" or as it turned out, quite skilled in my chosen recreational activity. I guess it's different strokes for different folks but I left there that day feeling a little disrespected and put off by the whole experience and also felt that particular range officer left a little embarrassed at the assumptions he made prior to finding out the skill level of the person he thought was a novice. The take away is: "never assume and you won't feel foolish". I've a thick skin but I've decided to limit my trips there until I complete my search for an area suitable for a 1000 yard range on BLM land where I can do my shooting...

I've had the pleasure of frequenting Raahauge's Shooting Range for several years now, and I can confidently say that it consistently delivers an outstanding shooting experience. From the moment I walk in, I'm greeted with warm smiles and a wealth of knowledge from the staff. In particular, Jason and Kevin, two remarkable Range Safety Officers, stand out as some of the most welcoming and well-informed professionals I've encountered at any shooting range.

One of the standout features of Raahauge's is its private bays, which span from 30-ish yards all the way out to 100 yards. These bays provide ample space for a variety of shooting experiences while ensuring the utmost safety. As long as you adhere to their safety guidelines, you're virtually guaranteed to have a fantastic time.

What truly sets Mike Raahauge's shooting range apart is its unwavering commitment to safety and organization. The staff's professionalism is unparalleled, ensuring that every visit is not only enjoyable but also secure. The ranges themselves are consistently clean and well-maintained, a testament to the range's dedication to excellence.

Raahauge's is, without a doubt, a top-tier shooting range that every enthusiast must experience. I cannot recommend it enough, especially for those seeking a safe, well-organized, and top-quality shooting environment.

As with any establishment, there are rules to follow, but as long as you respect them, you're in for a fantastic time. The staff's professionalism is nothing short of exceptional, ensuring that your experience is smooth and enjoyable.

I came on Sunday the 27th around 11:30 AM with two family members. The male staff with glasses was really friendly, helped us with the QR code and told us the wait for the Pistol & Rifle bay would be about 2 hours. We were totally fine with that.

Then a female Latino staff member named Margarita came over. First thing she asked us was if we’d been there before. I said it was our first time at Raahauge’s, but we’ve been to other ranges and have experience. She immediately said we couldn’t check in because it was too busy and there was no one to assist us. Then she added, “You didn’t pay anyway, so it’s fine, you can just leave.” That felt rude and unnecessary.

Right after that, she helped a white couple next to us. Strangely, she didn’t ask the same “have you been here before” question, and helped them check in right away, no mention of it being too busy or short-staffed… She did the same with a few other groups after that too. I was shocked, and that’s when I realized — she was just being racist to us.

I asked her, “Are you racist?” and she just pretended not to hear me and walked away.

A few minutes later, she came back and suddenly said she could check us in. I was like??? wasn’t it “too busy” just five minutes ago? What changed? I told her I don’t wanna speak to her. I’d rather wait for the male staff instead. It felt like she knew she messed up and tried to quietly fix it without owning up to anything.

Her behavior was unacceptable. If this is how she treats first-time visitors, especially minorities, it says a lot about your business. You need to take a hard...
