Bunch of very small people working there

by LanceO

I know for a fact that the staff makes about 12 bucks an hour with no other benefits. No health care, nothing. I don't think they care though because they are all a bunch of reptiles that have nothing to loose in life. They are bitter because they are physically and mentally inferior from the average customer, and so they take their hatred out on the people who can actually afford their high prices. I suspect that they all fancy themselves gun pros, but when it comes down to it all they can afford on their 12 an hour paycheck are the guns they shun and mock. If they weren't so fat and stupid they might have been able to join the Marines and actually know what it's like to use a gun in the self defense/combat scenarios they love describing when trying to justify their high prices to the unsuspecting customer. I've bought several guns from them, and if they weren't so close to my house I would shop elsewhere. They aren't anything special. I've been to the new shooting range/store in Independence KY and it was a breath of fresh air, literally. I think they filter out the lead dust more thoroughly at the new range in Kentucky. I won't be going to target world anymore. F**k target world.

• Pros: Location

Hot and Cold Experiences

by gigger06

I've been to Target World several times now, and I can verify many of the statements from other reviews.

The service at the rental counter has been mixed. As stated before, the "regular" clerk at the rental counter has a personality that's a fitting advertisement for a prophylactic. Very rude, short, and unhelpful. But , based on some of the foolish customers that walk through the door, I can understand why his personality can be so sour.

However, another clerk that was working the counter a different week was the complete opposite. Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure talking shop with him about shotguns vs. the "Oh my God you have one of those terrible guns" attitude of the other clerk.

Also, if you plan on renting one of their guns, you MUST use their ammo...which is considerably marked up.

As others have stated, you need to be on you toes in the firing range. One look at the ceiling can tell you that.

Target World offers a wide selection of guns that you would not find in your run of the mill store. But, unless you're looking for a more rare gun, I would not buy from here. Prices are marked up based upon comparable items at other stores ex: Remington 870 express 12 ga. was over $90 more expensive at Target World versus the regular store price at Dick's Sporting goods.

Some of the clientele of this store make you want to buy a weapon then and there on the spot just so that you can feel safer.

• Pros: Indoor Range
• Cons: Customer Service, Pricing

Not very helpfull!

by DerekA1024

Have been there several times to shoot and set up shipping from Gun Broker. They always seem to be put off if you ask them a question. Not to mention the fact that I asked them if they carried any .35 and the guy had never heard of it! I know it isn't that common anymore but you work at a gun store dude! Plus I paid $24.50 for 1 bow of .40.

• Pros: Wide selection
• Cons: Not helpfull or friendly to say the least.
