Target Masters

[cdtx2001]

Last time I went to Target Masters was 10 years ago and haven't looked backed with regret at all. From what I read on here I'm not missing anything. Was crappy then and is crappy now. F-that place.

Target Masters sucks. I hate that they make you show proof of residency before you can start the DROS. They tried telling me it was the law and all of the other gun shops were breaking the law. They just lost a customer for life.

Target Disasters strikes again!

Target Disasters.. Haha that's a good one. Yeah, there are better shops not that far away that are willing to do ppt.

I haven't been to TM in about 5-6 years. And I have no plans on going back. Never bought a gun there either. And I won't.

Always been full of unsafe noobs and bangers.

They are always hiring. They truly will hire anybody. For a while they had a guy working there who had Tourette's syndrome. Nice guy but he would explode with twitches, loud yelps and howls about every ten seconds. Not sure if they ever let him fire a gun....

The fact that they would hire someone with Tourette's is, honestly, the only nice thing I have ever heard about that joint.

I gave up on Target Masters years ago.

OP, you should have asked them who the f elected the owner of target master as town's sheriff to make or enforce self made laws??
And, when they call you back after turning you away for no good reason, you should have told them to stick it where the sun does not shine.
Pardon my french, but i have read way too many cases of douche baggery conducted by target masters.

I usually stop in about once a month and every single time I see different faces.

Revolving door I guess

Oh, I know. But they're only half of the problem at most. Fortunately the bulk of the morons who go to TM don't know about any of the other shops in the area.

What I don't get is why so many people who know better, willingly go there(I know some people in person who complain about TM as much as I do, but don't go anywhere else).

We went to TM some years back because the national Range (which later became Reeds) closed abruptly and we had no place to shoot. Then it opened as Reeds and I shot at both places. I kept shooting at TM as loyalty and support to our league, not to the stinking range. Eventually, the nut who owns TM booted the league and I wouldn't go back there if they were giving away free guns.

It's gang banger central. Go there on a weekend and see what I mean. Funny it's s stone's throw from the police station.....

If anyone on calguns went to a fast food restaurant where it took 20 minutes to cook a burger, the cook spits in it, and the cashier flips you off on the way out the door while a customer slams the door in your face, and both sides of your car are keyed, they'd never go back. But for some silly reason if it's a gun shop, even if they've personally had a bad experience, some of them keep going back.

PS-they are "now hiring" (and no doubt will be shortly firing).

There are 15+ shops within 30 minutes of TM. Why the hell do people still go there for anything?

So yesterday I went to do a PPT (I was selling a PPQ to a fellow Cal gunner) and they said it's not possible because the owner is trying to stop of roster PPT's unless it's from an LE. I thought this was BS and was pretty pissed.

I shot at TM for about 15 years (note PAST TENSE, don't shoot there anymore).

The owner is a nut job with his own view of reality. For a while, he was going to force everybody who shoots there to buy lead-free ammo for the "safety of the employees".....

I am not surprised by any looney thing coming from TM, the owner thinks he can do anything he wants. It's his range, and it was my feet going out the door.

It was a Sunday and not a lot of gun shops are open on Sundays the only other one if found was reeds and wanted to avoid them due to there charge for storage fees if you don't pick up your gun within 24 hours. Other wise I would do it at any other shop.

Other than Reed's you've got Kerley's and Mil-Spec Armory off the top of my head(drive farther and you have J&R).

Then there's the nuclear option, never schedule anything for a Sunday if that's what it takes to avoid TM.
