Nardis Gun Club SA

Nardis Gun Club operates three climate-controlled shooting facilities across San Antonio—The Original on Interstate 10 East, Alamo Ranch on Loop 1604 North, and Rolling Oaks on NE Loop 1604. All three locations are NSSF 5-star rated, meaning they meet the National Shooting Sports Foundation's highest standards for facility safety, cleanliness, and member experience.

Not a membership-only operation. Nardis is open to the public with day passes, but the membership options are what bring people back. The range is air-conditioned and state-of-the-art—designed so you can get in, practice your draw, shoot a magazine, review results with staff, and leave in 20 minutes. That's the gym membership mentality applied to shooting.

Try Before You Buy is their biggest differentiator. They stock the largest selection of firearms in San Antonio and let you rent and shoot them on their range before purchasing. All rentals require ammo purchased from the shop.

• •Range day passes for non-members
• •Member training drills for skill development
• •Certified handgun classes including "Introduction to Handguns" (covers safety, handling, and on-range practice)
• •CHL license certification (Concealed Handgun License)
• •Private instruction sessions
• •Air-conditioned, private range rooms available

The in-store shop carries firearms and accessories. Beyond retail:

• •Rentals of standard firearms for on-range testing
• •Custom holsters (available in-store)
• •FFL transfers for firearms purchased elsewhere
• •We buy guns (used firearm buyback program)
• •Silencers available for purchase
• •Foreign nationals welcome (with proper documentation)

The Original location (I-10 East) is described as being "in the middle" of the city—a major advantage for shooters who want range time without a long drive. Multiple members report visiting 2-3 times per week because of the convenience factor.

Range Hours: - Monday-Friday: 9am–8pm - Saturday: 9am–8pm (varies by location) - Sunday: 12pm–6pm (Rolling Oaks & Alamo Ranch), 1pm–6pm (The Original)

Store Hours: - Monday-Saturday: 10am–7pm (most locations) - The Original: 9am–6pm

Every review mentions the staff by name. Members describe knowing the staff personally, staff knowing their progression, and getting lost in conversation. This isn't corporate-chain energy—it's "great company, great location, great guys" repeated verbatim across reviews.

New shooters specifically cite the professional but non-dismissive atmosphere. New gun owners aren't made to feel stupid for asking questions. Experienced shooters appreciate the clean facilities and equipment maintenance. People with families note that the environment is comfortable and professional enough to bring kids for intro classes.

"I've been a member for over a year now. Being a member allows me to get in and out in 20 minutes. I can practice my draw, shoot a magazine, and go over my results with the staff. They've seen me progress and have helped me from the beginning." — Shawn, Member
