Queen City Shooters

What started in the early 2000s as Shooters Supply and Sporting Goods in Independence has grown into Queen City Shooters—a partnership between the original Kentucky operation and Queen City Arms in Ohio. The 25-yard indoor climate-controlled range opened in 2006, one of the first in the area. Today, QCS operates two locations across Kentucky and Ohio with gunsmiths, armorers, and experienced staff.

The Independence location features a climate-controlled 25-yard range with 12 lanes. Range time runs $10 per hour for up to two shooters per lane. Can't bring your own gun? Rent one for $10 per session (unlimited rentals). The rental selection includes revolvers, pistols, rifles, and semi-automatics—and if you like what you rented, they'll credit the rental fee toward your purchase.

You must use Queen City Shooters ammunition with rental firearms. You'll also need to bring your own gun or come with another shooter.

QCS prices new firearms to the national level and refuses to stock items they can't beat online. Their inventory includes thousands of firearms through distributor relationships, plus a rotating selection of used guns at fair prices (bought outright or consigned). Can't find what you want? They'll order it in or help you shop for the best deal online.
