Shooting Range
Yes, INPAX is open to the public 7 days a week.
You do not need to be a member, however, membership comes with discounts, special classes and events.
Even though our range is built to handle a .50 BMG, handguns and rifles are permitted up to .308 caliber.
You are welcome to bring your own ammunition and retrieve your own brass. For safety purposes, tracer, armor piercing, incendiary, steel core or other specialty ammunition is prohibited.
Absolutely. INPAX specializes in firearms education and training for beginners to mastery level.
Our firearms rental page shows the large and diverse collection of guns we're pleased to make available.
For quality control purposes, however, we require that you purchase our ammunition for use with our rental firearms.
We also offer a wide selection of retail firearms for sale.
INPAX has 24 lanes, 14 lanes of 15-yards and 10 lanes of 25-yards.
Yes. Additional fee may apply. Member discounts apply.
Two people per lane.
Yes. Members can reserve range time, and Life members will have priority access, no matter how busy we are.

All firearms must be holstered or cased.
School zone rules apply. Please read this if you aren't familiar.
Our Range and Academy has been safety-engineered and designed to be a leading facility of its kind in the United States. The Range is designed as an “impenetrable box” – total bulletproof containment and generously sized shooting stalls – providing an unparalleled semi-private shooting experience.
Another safety feature of our range is the state-of-the-art air filtration system. Designed using similar technology as hospital clean rooms, our system will provide continuous, 100% fresh airflow, ensuring shooters have the cleanest, safest indoor shooting environment.
In addition, the filtration system is designed so that air leaving our facility will be essentially cleaner than the air coming in – ensuring the utmost safety for our environment and community.
Yes. Please come in any time. The facility is open to the public. Feel free to browse for yourself or a staff member will be happy to show you around!
Yes we do, but there are ammunition restrictions. No birdshot on any range. 00 buck is allowed on ranges 1 & 2, slugs only on range 3. This is because pattern spread on some shotguns with birdshot can damage the target carriers and cause ricochet hazard.
You are welcome to bring you own ammunition, subject to our range and safety requirements. However, if you rent an INPAX firearm, you will be required to purchase our ammunition.

Retail & Memberships

INPAX members receive preferred pricing and facility reservations. Some training programs, events and services will only be available to members.

Learn more about Facility Rental options
Yes. INPAX provides expert outfitting for firearms, ammunition, holsters, safe storage and other related accessories. We specialize in providing the right firearms products for home, car and carry needs.
Our pro-shop offers a full selection of rental firearms, ammunition and accessories.
You can rent these guns to try for fit-and-feel before you purchase.
We're sorry to see you go. What could we have done to make your experience better? Month-to-month range members must provide 30 days notice. Academy memberships, which requires a full 12 month commitment, can be cancelled thirty days prior to your annual expiration date, even for month-to-month members.
There are many benefits to membership. The most important are the discounts you receive on INPAX programming and facilities. Depending on your level of membership, programs will receive discounts of 15-100%. You can also take advantage of better drop-in rates, and discounts on armory services, purchases, lane rental and guest access. Visit our membership page for more details.
A modest initiation fee of $35 or $70 will apply to adult Range, Forge, and Academy memberships (waived for the adult Fitness Only membership).
Members can choose month-to-month membership options or prepay annually and receive a month free. Life members can pay in a lump sum or extend payment over 60 months. Contact us to take advantage of a life membership payment plan.
INPAX appreciates the service of veterans and our active duty first responders. We offer special discounts for these valuable community members. INPAX also offers discounts for additional family members, spouses and their children ages 23 and under.

Firearm Training
Yes! Firearms are available for rent and members get discounts!
No, you don’t have to bring your own ammo, but you can. We have ammo for sale here at the pro-shop. Nor do we tell you that you have to buy our ammo, unless you are using one of our rental firearms.
You can if it is something you want to learn how to use or you can rent one of our many firearms to try something new.
Holsters are needed for all Handgun seminars from DHG-2 and beyond. Handgun Mastery training requires a holster, too. Otherwise, a holster is not required.
You are permitted to train with a holster if you have passed our Holster Certification Assessment (for the safety of yourself, others, and the facility).
Training is never a bad idea unless your mind is closed. Whether you are a firearms superninja or a beginner, you can garner something from every class if you are willing.
Yes. Please set up a time with one of our firearms instructors prior to attending the advanced class in which you wish to participate. We do not want you or the other students to feel frustrated or unsafe if skills are not up to speed with the class.
Typically, 10 in each class.
You do not have to take HSH if you have significant background and skill; however, we still want you to do the skills assessment prior to registering for further classes to ensure that your skills are sufficient for the next class.
Strong-side or Appendix carry holsters are allowed. There are absolutely no low-back, shoulder, cross-draw, or purse/bag holsters allowed on the firing line during open shooting. We may on occasion have specialty classes for unusual carry tactics or off-body carry tactics, but for the safety of the public, we do not permit these during open shooting.
Some of them discuss legal aspects, however, we recommend attending a full US Law Shield class (hosted for free by INPAX) for a more in-depth discussion of use-of-force law, taught by lawyers and legal pros.
Our recommendation for a new shooter is a private session no less than 1 hour long.
A 20-for-20 will get you enough information to make you feel competent, but there will be significant skill lacking. 20-for-20 sessions are truly intended for those folks that have some skill or have taken a class(es) and want to polish up a problem. The 20-for-20 for a brand new shooter can be enough to get you started, but you will want more.
No, for quality control and maintenance of our firearms, you must buy our ammo when shooting our firearms. If you are shooting your firearms, you may use your ammo or ours.
We run them no less than 2 times per month, sometimes more.
Learn about the Handgun Safety & Handling class.
You may take a class as many times as you like; there is no additional discount for taking the same class again; though all classes are discounted with memberships.

Self-Defense Training
How long does it take to learn a language? The reality is that, with enough training, you can feel conversationally comfortable in a relatively short period of time, but to be a master of the language, it takes significant time. To add to this, each person learns at a different pace, so there is no specific answer to this. We are not a “black belt mill” where we guarantee you a 7th stripe ninja belt in 2 years. We work with you as an individual to progress you to where you want or need to be.
To answer this question most appropriately, my question is: what is it you are looking for?
If you want to dive deep into the INPAX Self Defense Tactics, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Firearms, you can train for a lifetime and continue to grow your skills.
We offer Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts for Self-Defense, and privately pure self-defense training.
We provide certificates of training for our clinics (such as Handgun Safety and Handling, Stop the Bleed, etc) upon request. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu uses a Belt system to measure progress.
Imagine a 20-year-old man or woman who has absolutely no proclivity to violence. No desire to play violent video games or to watch action movie – totally passive. But this young adult is also a young parent and they are pushing their 6-month-old down the street in a stroller. Imagine now if someone wanted to take or hurt that baby. We can now predict that, not only would that parent act defensively, but rather they would want to be as aggressive as possible with EVERY BONE in their body.
Sometimes we don’t put ourselves in bad situations, but all too often bad situations happen around us. Aurora Colorado shooting, Las Vegas Shooting, carjackings and abductions – none of these victims wanted to be there or did anything to put themselves in a “dangerous place,” but the reality is that we should always be ready to protect ourselves or our loved ones from bad people.
The BJJ fundamentals class is where a beginner should start their journey. These classes are available morning or evening. Please check our schedule for the next class.
You do not need a background in MMA or other style to attend this class. We cater to everyday people and those with prior training.
Yes! We teach this through private instruction.
Perhaps nothing…. Perhaps everything. Come and check us out!
We completely understand that firearms are not for everyone. Our architect has specially designed a completely separate entrance for our training Academy for visitors and members who prefer to bypass the Range and Pro-Shop areas. We have designed a safe and welcoming place for all!
