Business ProfileforWade's Eastside Guns

My experience with Wade's Eastside Guns was terrible. It was way overpriced and the service was atrocious. I highly recommend against taking a new shooter here.My story:I took my son and his wife to Wade's Eastside Guns so that she could experience firing a gun for the first time. I've used a lot of rifles, but not many handguns.The guy at the counter suggested that since it was my daughter-in-law's first time shooting, that she take the New Shooter course for $40. It includes training on how to fire a gun, load a ********. He said it takes about 20 minutes. I said that sounded like a fine idea.Because they were slammed, instead of the New Shooter course in a training room, she got 90 seconds of "here's how to hold this plastic gun" in the lobby by the counter. Then he rang us up - over $200. I asked, "What was the $40 training I paid for?" He said, "That was me showing her how to hold a gun, just now, because I can't leave the counter right now." I was super upset, but he had no interest in refunding the $40 training fee.We went into the range, with no instructor or guidance. Other shooters helped us get our handgun loaded, and get it to fire. It felt unsafe; I've got very little experience with handguns. We swapped out to a rifle, but we couldn't figure out how to chamber a round, nor could a helpful lady who was there shooting. I eventually flagged down a passing employee and he fiddled around with the gun and finally figured out how to get it loaded.It was way overpriced for what we got. :( Even if we hadn't paid for a $40 First Shooter course that we definitely didn't receive, it would've been ridiculously overpriced. $160 to fire 50 rounds so that my daughter-in-law has some basic **************? Insultingly expensive.But that $40 course that he didn't have time to deliver was super insulting to pay for. When I asked about it, he blew me off and ran the charge anyway. So, over $200 to fire 50 rounds, with a training course that did not happen.
