    "Great Store & Range. I have visited many, many gun stores and shot at many ranges around Atlanta and Stoddard's is one of my favorites. All the staff is friendly and helpful. Some ranges are dark and a bit on the dirty or run-down side. Not Stoddard's, it is well lit, clean and well maintained. No more guessing about how far your target is down range. At Stoddard's you simply punch in the distance you want and off goes your target...great technology. My wife and I try to shoot there weekly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! "

    "I have been to a few ranges with my husband over the years and never really liked any of them. They were old, dark and dreary. I love Stoddard's. The technology used at the range is really cool and easy to use. Their bathroom is one of the nicest I've ever seen in a public place. They spared no expense in making it into a really nice store and range. Every person I've dealt is really knowledgeable and friendly. "
