I was there this week and had a salesperson telling me that the glock 34 without any ports in the barrel was compensated to reduce recoil. That's why the slide was missing the top: to allow gasses to escape. I looked at him as if to see if he was kidding. I checked the barrel for ports, none. "It's compensated, alright, and does a great jib of reducing recoil because the gasses escape through the top of the barrel." Ok. Magic compensation through the top of a barbell without holes. Sigh

I think I signed up for their range years ago. I was member like 26 or so. So for years there was nothing more then a promise. Let my membership laspse for 2 months after paying for, what 18-24 months whenever they opened their 6 Lane range... They opened up their bigger facility, I went back asked to reinstate my membership. I was told I had too pay the initiation fee again. I was like wtf you had my money for years with nothing, and you want me to pay again? Piss off. Never went back

I called last week asking them their policy on transfers from out of state, the guy told me their fee, and what they need from the seller's FFL. All fine by me. Now I called today telling them my gun is on the way, but the person on the phone told me they do not accept transfers from another FFL, large vendors or manufacturers only! WTF is up with their staffs?

The range half is great, the RSOs and training staff are good guys.

The retail side is a hot mess and best avoided.

So I'm assuming you graduated and passed that class with the Libtard professor? Just go to Bowers, they actually give a shit.

For straight-up transfers, I just go to Bill Stark.

I've got a membership there for the range access alone. As others have said that part is great, especially the fact I can schedule time.
The transfer prices struck me as insulting for NFA items, especially since there isn't even a break for being a member, and some of the staff seems to have a "I'm better than you" attitude while others are genuinely friendly.

Last time I did a transfer a Bower's I noticed a bit of a shift in attitude as well, enough so that I don't use them for transfers anymore. Seems like now that they carry their own stock of firearms they were a little offended that I didn't purchase through them (even though they were items they could not get through their distributors at the time).

Recently sold something to a member here and he wanted to do it at Ark, which was no hassle and it seemed to me like they appreciated the business. They will probably get my transfer biz in the future.

Sorry if it's a little off-topic in a Centennial Gun Club thread, just sharing experiences is all.

Any recent feedback on the range; I'm thinking of joining. They're the only place reasonable close to me at the moment.

Also, if you get credit for a referral PM me your info and I'll use it.

I love their range. We don't purchase anything there for retail, because that would be crazy.
But their range is top-notch, and their range masters aren't jerks.

I just generally do not like the staffs attitude. they are not respectful and talk down to new-newer gun people. their sales and prices are a complete joke. I have never sent anyone there. tons of better options.

Went there once with my girl, lasted about 20 minutes before we left. It was way to yuppy for me, we even heard two guys discussing how great and amazing our commander in chief is, to throw up after that one.

Are you sure it wasn't sarcasm?

Does anyone know if Centennial Gun Club offers discounts for prepayment? If you wanted to prepay 12 months?

I like there indoor range. The range officers are friendly and helpful. Most of the staff are friendly and will help you best they can. Some seem to just want to sell you something and than there done with you. They can be pricier than some places just depends what you are looking for. All in all I'll keep going to centennial to use there range and even buy some things. Other stuff I shop around and and go to whom ever has the best price.

I've been a member there since the new facility opened because it's a got a great range. Excellent lighting and ventilation with a top shelf target system. The ability to book ranges time online is another benefit.

Once you show an RO you know what you're doing you're allowed to draw from the holster. A one time initiation fee ($225 for me), then $30/month for unlimited range sessions at no additional charge unless you purchase targets/ammo. In my experience the ROs are interested in everybody being safe, offering help and making sure you enjoy your time. Most of them are really great guys and fun to bs with as well.

So far it's the first range where I've not been swept by another shooter as well. I have a series of drills I go through and without being able to move forward and back it's still the best place for me to practice. Plus it's 10 minutes from me.

As a member I pay $15 for transfers if I buy something online. Never gotten any flack about it even if it's a gun they stock. Most of the people there I've found to friendly and helpful though there are a couple that are very much less so.

All that said I really can't imagine a circumstance under which I'd purchase a firearm there as the prices are full retail. Members typically get an additional 5% off but even then didn't really find anything I needed.

I would agree with you on the range and the RO's but I have found there prices on some things definitely not all there stuff to be the same at other well known places. Sometimes they are a little cheaper other times they are more. You just have to know what your looking for.

Been to this place many times. Never once was the service good, actually the people are flat out rude. Was just in there for what will be the last time. Was looking for a new knife asked about one "we don't sell that one" and guy walks away. Just because you wear tactical gear to work doesn't mean you're awesome. How about showing me one of the 50 other knives in the case? 100% garbage people working there.
