Black Wing Shooting Center - Delaware, Ohio

Update after the business replied: Totally understandable that a business couldn’t carry every size of specialty head spaces gauges. I would have liked to have been informed of this before having the service performed (after many calls/emails). The most frustrating part was the pricing was not communicated prior to performing the service. Disappointed by this response.

What a nice facility! Great selection of products and tons of activities for everyone including their shotgun course, indoor and outdoor shooting ranges. Truly impressed by the variety they carry and the pricing seemed reasonable. They also stand behind the products they sell by putting a lifetime warranty on them which I though was so cool.

I came to Blackwing to get one of my firearms looked at after being recommended to them by a friend. It took a couple calls and emails to get connected with their gunsmith. Once I got in contact with Jacob he gave me the rundown on timing/schedule. I brought the firearm in to have it headspace checked. $50 to run a “no-go” gauge in the chamber seems steep given the gauges themselves only cost $80-$90. I was hoping they would have ran a full gauge set through it for that price to determine the actual headspace. (And ensure it was within spec)

I must have rubbed the salesmen who was checking my firearm in the wrong way. Oh well, everyone else I interacted with was friendly and helpful. Will be back to try the various shooting ranges.

There is a very good selection of firearms.
The service is good and have not had a time where there has not been enough staff on hand.
The prices for firearms and accessories are slightly higher than what I am use to or able to acquire at my regular and local stores.
Unfortunately they do not offer a military discount.
The place is clean and well
Stocked.
Their membership prices went up recently, a fair bit.

My partner and I took the concealed carry class with Ben as our expert instructor. He's an outstanding teacher who created a welcoming, safe, and fun environment (but serious when needed). We walked away feeling educated from the 6 hour classroom time and equipped with the handgun basics from 2 hours in range. It's a lot of information but was presented in a clear and concise way that was engaging and interesting. Ben knows his stuff and his love of his job and teaching shows. Highly recommend Black Wing and training with Ben!

I can’t say enough about Black Wing - they are just the best! They have incredible staff who are helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. They are truly committed to helping shooters of all levels and creating lifelong lovers of the sport. We’ve been members for three years and will be for life. We moved farther away and still make the hour drive to Black Wing - it’s worth it!

The ranges are exceptional and they change up Sporting Clays to keep things fresh and fun. They also have an indoor range and trap and skeet fields. It’s by far the best facility I’ve been to.

They also offer fantastic gunsmithing services. Jacob did an amazing job on my shotgun and gave very helpful advice. My gun looks brand new! Highly recommend to all.

In short - Black Wing is the best and I recommend them to everyone!

I can’t say enough about this business and their staff. Absolutely one of the best indoor ranges, and retail stores in the Midwest. The in store selection of products is top notch, and the staff is equally as impressive. Everyone is knowledgeable, approachable, and a joy to deal with. I shoot at the range almost weekly. I’ve had their gunsmiths work on several of my firearms. I’d trust them with anything. The best in the business, and it’s not even particularly close.

I really can't share enough positive comments about this place. It's the range I recommend to basically anyone I talk to about shooting sports in the local area and is also the range on which I base my ratings of other local/traveled ranges. The product selection is highly diverse which is nice to see as many ranges try and tailor their selections too narrowly. The staff is always super friendly and willing to help/assist in whatever way they're able. If the staff member you're working with doesn't know the answer to a question they will find someone there who does and that's awesome. There's an annual car show and a wide variety of guest speakers/events from couples shooting to real-world training to training targeted specifically for women. The prices are fair and this business is locally owned and operated which is always a good plus to keep the money I'm spending going back into my local community. I'm glad I decided to get a membership at this range and I definitely will continue to recommend Black Wing to anyone going forward

My son and I have been taking various classes through Black Wing Shooting Center for over a year. We’ve been very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of their instructors and staff, including Ben Owens.. Most recently, we have had the pleasure of working with the Retail Store Manager, Jared Ramsey, who helped us get configured and started us on our journey with precision shooting. His daylong class was an awesome experience and helped us lay the foundational skills of what we expect to be a long term passion. Jared is very personable and experienced and shared his vast knowledge hard earned during his military service. We will be continuing our training with Jared and the rest of BW staff and high recommend you do as well.

Everyone at Black Wing is friendly and helpful. I've taken several classes here and it's given me the confidence to handle firearms safely. I recently purchased my first NFA item and they made the process easy. I love the interactive range and the monthly fun shoots. I'll be back soon!
