I can’t say enough to adequately express my love for the crew at CSA. I’m a NY transplant and had only shot a firearm once before in my life before going to CSA. My first day, I met with Mike Simpson, the head of the training school. Mike is perhaps the best instructor of ANYTHING I’ve ever been taught.
I’ve become somewhat of a good shooter now, thanks to the team, but more importantly, words can not express the atmosphere at CSA. Everyone at the store to a person is kind, patient, and loves to help people.
I have recommended over a dozen friends to CSA AND EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE I’ve sent adores the people and the facility. This is the only place in charlotte to go. I adore CSA and am grateful to have been introduced to a fund, safe, and challenging sport through their amazing work.
I have also purchased 4 firearms from them and was treated with great pricing and incredible service. A great place.

Great experience for the Carbine 101 class instructed by Jay. Knowledgeable, interesting, patient and kind. I recommend the class, the instructor and Carolina Sporting Arms in general.

Great pricing, instructors and range. Ron Elliot and his colleagues are all very helpful and made my first three times at the range a great experience. This range does has D-Lead soap, which many others don’t. They have a wide variety of firearms to purchase. Love this range!

As a first-time firearm buyer I was a bit intimidated coming in. However, the staff at CSA was incredibly helpful and patient. On my first day at the range Jay saw me struggling with my rifle, helped me through some technical issues and even zeroed my sight for me -big shout to him!

After having somewhat of a fear of the power of firearms for many years, Jay at Carolina Sporting Arms seriously helped me gain not only confidence and respect but great knowledge and understanding of each firearm I handled!
He made a range experience significantly less overwhelming and super fun for a first-timer.
I’ll absolutely be back & will seek out Jay’s amazing guidance going forward. Thanks!

Very nice range and shop. The staff in the store and back in the range was great — friendly, helpful, and professional. We brought my FIL here to shoot for Father’s Day and had a great time. My husband also had to transfer a firearm to our home state and Matt was super helpful and on top of everything. Plus, the whole place was spotless and organized, including the restrooms! We plan to visit again next time we’re in Charlotte.

My fiancé and I just moved here from NY. We went to Carolina Sporting Arms to learn more about the firearms laws in NC and were immediately greeted by James. He is amazing! He took his time and really educated us, easing my apprehension about become a pistol owner. He talked us through the types of firearms and the best ones for us to try. We went to the range to try them out and he was of course correct! We both filed the paperwork and made the purchase. We cannot say enough about James! He is exceptional at what he does- we highly recommend going to him for all firearms needs- even if it’s just to learn more!

We had a wonderful experience with Jay, who took the time to very patiently teach us some key differences between various guns and help us narrow down our search to best fit our needs. There were no high-pressure sales tactics, and we truly felt like we were being guided to make the choice that was right for us. We will absolutely be back!

Today was my first time shooting a gun and I'm so thankful I chose CSA. I went into full anxiety once the bullets were out in my hand. And JAY was Was AMAZING ?!
He was so kind and patient. Sat with me and did breathing exercises and was an awesome cheerleader once I finished shooting.
The instructor Mike was the ? bomb. He is SUPER thorough and I was shooting like a pro from his tips. I learned so much and the energy there is great. I became a Member and look forward to getting more knowledge and more guns. I FEEL SO EMPOWERED.?
THANKS CSA
And if your nervous, Ask for JAY! He's such a a calming presence and great energy. This is your place to get educated and empowered. Take the FIRST STEPS & FIRST SHOTS Class. You will be glad you did!

Carbine 101 was an excellent class! I signed up because I was interested in learning to properly handle and shoot AR-15 platform rifles and by the end of the class I was very comfortable with the gun. Looking forward to getting back to the range and practicing what Jordan taught me. The knowledge and approachability of the instructors at CSA is top level. Hands-down the best of the best.

On May 15, 2024 I picked up my first online purchase from Carolina Sporting Arms. I ordered a firearm on the 10th (Friday) and they had it ready to pick up on the 15th. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lee Miller checked me out and gave me a bunch of information on all the great things Carolina Sporting Arms has to offer. He answered any and all questions I had. I will definitely be back!
The whole process was fairly quick and easy. Unlike big box stores they had a nice seating area I could wait in as my background check was going through. I also got free range time just for purchasing a firearm through them! 10 out of 10 all around. Thank you guys!
