NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF[1]®), the trade association for the firearms industry, is pleased to announce that it has awarded Davenport Guns & Shooting Club[2] a Four-Star rating for range excellence.
Located in the heart of Davenport, Iowa, Davenport Guns & Shooting Club sports a temperature-controlled, 12-lane, 50-foot indoor range open to the public and supported by a robust rental firearms inventory that includes several full-auto firearms packaged experiences. New customers often discover the range through Davenport’s own YouTube channel, which highlights both traditional target shooting offerings and the facility’s VAST—Video Action Target—live-fire sessions. The range’s large number of nationally recognized training programs and leagues are also a big draw. These include NSSF’s First Shots[3]® introductory classes, NRA’s Refuse to be a Victim, several classes created by the United States Concealed Carry Association, and a very active chapter affiliate of A Girl & A Gun. Davenport further builds on interest and participation in those classes through its own training curriculum, which covers concealed carry license classes for both Iowa and Illinois, in-home personal protection and even first aid, among others.
While training and entertainment are in sharp focus at Davenport, this range works diligently to be a full-service facility for this Iowa community and visitors from nearby Illinois. Gun cleaning, FFL transfers, firearms accessory mounting and bore-sighting all keep the front door swinging, as does a well-stocked retail center. Davenport’s firearms inventory is a mix of both new and used guns, and area residents appreciate the consignment and trade-in services the store offers, which in turn is supported by Davenport’s expert firearms appraisers.
“This is a top-notch facility and we’re pleased its owners took the opportunity to utilize NSSF’s Star-Rating Range
