Indoor Shooting Company is an indoor handgun range and training center at 8406 US Highway 301 N in Tampa, Florida. The company opened in Hillsborough County in 1996 and its site refers to the Tampa address as its new location. It is open to the public seven days a week, and walk-ins are welcome.
The range allows handgun calibers up to and including .44 Magnum (1500 fps). Rapid fire is allowed, and reloaded and lead ammunition are permitted. Shotguns are not allowed, and rifles are not allowed on the main range. Two shooting areas are offered: the main range, and a set of two Private VIP pistol lanes in a separate stand-alone building with 3-stage HEPA filtration and electronic target retrieval. The VIP lanes are booked by the half hour or hour, with up to 3 shooters per lane. A Thermal Live Fire Simulator uses real ammunition with interactive HD video scenarios and virtual graphics targets. It accepts both rifle and pistol calibers in a self-contained range and is booked in 30-minute sessions.
Training is a large part of the business. Florida concealed weapons license classes are held by appointment seven days a week as private or semi-private sessions with NRA-certified instructors. Other offerings are the Locked & Loaded Lady course, 30-minute à-la-carte skill lessons at basic, intermediate and advanced levels, and state-approved security officer training through the ISC Institute: the 42-hour "D" course, the 28-hour "G" course and the 4-hour annual "G" re-qualification.
Rental handguns in .22 LR, .380, 9mm, .40 and .45 are available for a $20 per-lane fee that includes unlimited swaps. Ammunition is sold on site and must be purchased there for use in rental guns. Private meeting spaces are available for clubs or private instructor classrooms. Gift cards are sold, and lanes, lessons and classes can be booked online.
The range serves first-time shooters, concealed carry applicants, security officers needing state licensing or re-qualification, and experienced shooters who want skills work. The site also mentions marksmanship programs and a monthly challenge contest.
