About Bill’s Gun Shop & Range

For more than three decades, Bill’s Gun Shop & Range has been setting the standard for what a firearm store and range should be: safe, welcoming, and focused entirely on the customer.

Family-Owned. Industry-Leading. 35 Years Strong .

For more than three decades, Bill’s Gun Shop & Range has been setting the standard for what a firearm store and range should be: safe, welcoming, and focused entirely on the customer, new or experienced. We’re a family-owned, specialty shop where relationships matter as much as the products we sell.

From the moment you walk into one of our ranges, our goal is simple: to understand why you’re here, how you’ll use your firearm, and what you’re comfortable with. Then, we guide you toward the right fit. 

We don’t engage in hard sales or pressure; instead, we focus on providing knowledgeable advice from a team that knows firearms inside out.

We’re proud to be one of the most respected names in firearms, earning national recognition for our ranges, our services, and our commitment to the communities we call home.

Meet the Owners

When John and Shelly Monson purchased Bill’s Gun Shop & Range in 2003, they had a clear vision in mind: Stores that are clean, bright, family-friendly and price conscious. And customers noticed.

We enjoy visiting customers, answering questions and understanding what they are looking for in a firearm and their training. Our style of consulting customers helps us serve people more effectively, so you find the firearm and training that is right for you. We have always believed in giving back to the communities in which we work. We believe in our communities and work to make them stronger. We do not do it because it is good for business. We do it because it is the right thing to do. After all, we live here, too.
