RE: Eagle Guns, Concord, NC

Nice folks, great prices on firearms - just forget about the range until October or November, it's a sweat lodge.

Me and Nato were there on Wed and it was bad.

I figure that the Flying Saucer tonight was splitting their AC bill with Eagle Guns. We opted to head elsewhere after a time, emphasizing the point that it's just too dang hot out to do anything fun... shoot... drink.. you name it!!

 

Eagle Gun Range, Concord NC

Even though I am currently a member of Shooters Express in Belmont, I recently had the opportunity to shoot at the newly opened Eagle Gun range in Concord. Beautiful range, 16 tactical capable. Great viewing area with couches. Very large showroom, and very reasonably priced at about $250/year single membership, as compared with the crooks up at Pointblank, who want nearly $500/year for almost the identical range. In addition, i found the majority of those who work at PB to be completly ignorant of firearms. If you sell Glocks, you should know what a Gen 3 and Gen 4 is, and what the differences are. In addition, I spent about 40 minutes out of my 70 or so minute visit waiting for multiple attempts to fix the targeting system. Then some guy comes in and tell me I have leave becuase there is a long line. When I tell him I have spent nearly all my time waiting on repairs, his only response to me is "calm down!) So much for my all day pass. Then I leave a message for the manager to voice my displeasure, and HE never calls me back. Beautiful customer service, I guess only VIP members who pay several THOUSAND dollars are entitled to good customer service. The fact that Pointblank carries a large selection of womens apparel, does zip for me. Nor do their ridiculously priced guns and ammo. Would someone really pay $700 + tax for a Glock G19? Not me thats for sure. Or pay $18/box for Blazer aluminum ammo? Again, not me. Eagles guns are much more reasonably priced, and their ammo prices are about even with Walmart. When my Shooters membership expires in Nov, Eagle is where I am headed. When I called to ask about membership rates, the OWNER got on the phone to speak with me. He told me that they were currently full, but since I had done business with them, he gave me his PERSONAL cell phone and told me to call him when I was ready to join. Now THATS customer service!

$250/year is reasonable? Nope. Does sound like really service though!

I understand that you don't like PB, but let's keep this thread about this range/store and not about the other.

 

$250/year for unlimited range time. I pay $200 at shooters express and it has gone up. I will save considerable gas driving from UNCC area to concord instead of Belmont. Besides shooters is really really old and kind of decrepit. Great staff though!!

 

I think $150 is reasonable.

 

No indoor range I Charlotte are is that cheap. PB is nearly $500 for single , over 600 for family. Patriot gun cub is in the thousands

 

Wow... that's crazy.

 

The one-time initiaion fee for Patriot Gun Club is $1200. After that a family membership is $75/month, which includes after hours access and a number of other benefits. The cost is not for everyone and I am sure that people enjoy whatever range they themselves feel they are most welcome at and get the most personal benefit from.

Ashecht, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we are very happy that you found the right range for you at Eagle Guns! Now, ya better be sure to take your camera with because we're counting on you for lots of range reports and photos as you get the most out of your new membership there. :thumbsup:

 

Eagle G & R was very nice to me Tuesday. I arrived when they were shooting an AK47 on the right side. The range officer did not hesitate in opening up the left side so it would be a little easier on the ears. I have good hearing protection but it is still nice to shoot in the quieter areas.

I think we actually pay about $250 for an annual membership at MWC (outdoors) but that comes with the added benefits of the clubhouse, archery range, fishing pond, etc. And who can pass up the bird's eye view of landing gear of the big jets as they approach Charlotte Douglass right over the treetops!

Sportsman in Rock Hill is 150 per year

...and you can fill up yer tank with cheap SC gas AND stop at Frugal MacDoogal's to stock up the bar on the way back. :thumbsup:

I love me any excuse to go to SC these days.

 

I am glad we went ahead and got the family membership. Planning on going back soon if the heat breaks.

It was $3.28 yesterday ya'll. :thumbsup:

 

Hopefully meeting up with my son and going to Eagle's to shoot today 8/19 @ 2P. I anyone is there say Hi!

I was there last night for the first time. Stickman and SOLO were there as well. Digital target controls are neat but not necessary.

 

I went to Eagle Guns & Range with my brother the other night while the rest of the Concord area was at the NHRA event over at the tracks. We went in there, watched that wonderful safety video, and got our range cards. The range is very nice, I like the electronic target holders, I'm not the best judge of distance so that is really helpful to me vs distance cards sitting downrange like all the other ranges I've been to. As a shooting range I will give them a tentative 9.8/10 as it is warm in there and that gets problematic but I can live with it since I liked everything else about their range.

As a gun store, I like their handgun selection but the long gun selection is a little lopsided towards hunting rifles- This is nothing against the store though, it's just the observation of a non-hunting gun store customer. I love that there is a Garand and several M1A's on the wall though.

On a prior trip to check out the store I picked up a nice holster for my S&W snub nose, fair pricing on that type of gear IMO.

Only thing I dislike about any of the store visits I've had is that one of the gun counter attendants, an older fellow, had a lot of wrong information about GSG's products that he shared with a customer.

So my overall review of the store is that it's great, the range is top notch, the store is good and has headroom to get even better, but at least one salesperson needs to learn a little more about products before he misinforms folks about them. Not trying to be mean there, just saying that as a salesman myself I always make sure I know my stuff. I will be a return customer for Eagle Guns.

 

Somebody asked if there were still lots of guns marked "NFS" or "not for sale". Yes, those are Mike's personal guns. However, if you have the cash in hand and a willingness to negotiate you'd be surprised how quickly that turns into a sale.

Many thanks to Mike for hosting a "machine gun social" tonight. It was a fundraiser for Vernon Robinson in his campaign for NC District 8. Rob Peetz of Repent Arms brought a couple of short barrel M4's, a couple of MP5's, an AK, an FAL, a Thompson submachine gun and a BAR.

 

I got to visit this place yesterday.

Very crowded, but I was able to spend a cool hour next to a 30.06, an AR, and a new shooter.
It reminded me of Davi's before they developed an attitude.

Friendly staff and decent prices (just make sure you know what you're looking for).
Their Mosins were going for $175 :facepalm:

It's nice to see more ranges moving into this territory.

 

I could have sworn I posted about this place. I visited recently and they have rearranged the entire store and it is much better. Instead of the cases all being filled with NFS guns, they reside almost entirely in the front room and the gun cases are filled with things you could actually purchase. The first time I went there the layout was odd and difficult to peruse, now it has a much better flow.

 

Mike Threadgill is great to deal with. I recommend him and his store.

 

Great store. Just bought from them. They will be my primary store/range. The only other range I will be visiting, will be the outdoor range for my long rifles.

 

I purchased my S&W 9c from them. Got great service a good price and enjoyed the experience. I have gone to shoot many times since and have found the staff very friendly and great to talk with. They don't mind window shopping and even encourage it by offering to show you other guns similar to what you asked about.
It is my go-to store and range now.

 

Looking forward to a visit there soon...
