Superior Pawn & Gun Hampton

Superior Pawn & Gun has been operating in Hampton for over 35 years. They run the only public indoor shooting range available for recreation, skill development, and training—no appointment needed, first-come, first-served.

The range features a 52-foot firing distance with 6 lanes, each equipped with a toggle switch to adjust target distance to your preference. They maintain the range daily and weekly with full ASHRAE-compliant ventilation. Lead exposure is minimized with special soap provided in restrooms, and they recycle all brass and lead from spent casings.

Handguns only: 22LR through 45 Caliber (excluding .454 Casull and .460). Brass ammunition only—no steel core, armor piercing, or tracer rounds. All ammunition gets screened by range staff before you fire.
