Winston-Salem has no shortage of places to buy a box of ammunition or squeeze off a few rounds. What it lacks — or lacked, until ProShots Gun Range opened its doors on Indoor Lane — is a single address where every firearms need gets handled under one roof.
That distinction matters more than it might sound.
More Than a Range, More Than a Shop
Most gun owners eventually run into a familiar frustration: the range doesn't sell what you need, the gun shop doesn't have lanes, and the gunsmith is somewhere across town with a three-week backlog. ProShots was built to collapse that triangle into a single stop.
The facility combines a retail gun shop, an eight-lane indoor shooting range, professional gunsmithing services, and a structured training program — including state-approved NC Concealed Carry courses — all at one location in Forsyth County. Whether someone walks in looking for ammunition, a new firearm, a trigger job, or a carry permit, the answer is the same: it's already here.
Training That Meets You Where You Are
The training side of ProShots deserves particular attention, because it's where the facility separates itself most clearly from a standard gun shop or public range.
One-on-one firearms training is available for shooters who want focused instruction without the noise of a group class. That format works especially well for newer shooters who may feel self-conscious in a group setting, or for experienced gun owners working on a specific skill — grip consistency, drawing from a holster, accuracy at distance — who don't need to sit through fundamentals they already know.
For those pursuing an NC Concealed Carry permit, ProShots offers the required course on-site. Completing that training where you'll also practice makes a practical difference. Students can take their class, get comfortable on the lanes, and build the repetition that a permit alone doesn't provide.
The Case for Membership
ProShots operates a members-only shooting facility, and for regular shooters in the Winston-Salem area, the math tends to work in their favor quickly.
Membership removes the friction of range visits. Rather than paying per session and working around walk-in availability, members have consistent access to the eight indoor lanes. For anyone who shoots more than occasionally — whether for sport, competition prep, or simply maintaining proficiency with a carry firearm — that kind of reliable access changes how seriously a person can develop their skills.
It also creates a training environment that feels different from a busy public range. Focused practice is easier when the setting supports it.
Gunsmithing on Site
The gunsmithing services at ProShots fill a gap that many gun owners don't think about until they need it. Having a qualified gunsmith available at the same facility where you shoot and shop means issues get diagnosed faster and solutions get tested on the spot.
That's not a small convenience. For a shooter dealing with a reliability problem, a fit issue, or a modification they've been putting off, having the range and the smith in the same building shortens the whole process considerably.
A Resource for Forsyth County Shooters
What ProShots has built in Winston-Salem is less a gun store with some extra amenities and more a full-service resource for the firearms community in Forsyth County and the surrounding region. The retail inventory covers everyday needs — firearms, ammunition, accessories. The range provides the space to use them. The training programs build the knowledge to use them well. The gunsmithing keeps everything running right.
For gun owners who have spent years making three separate trips to accomplish what one stop could handle, that combination is worth a look.
