Princeton Gun Shop Launches Formal Range Membership Program

Whispering Pines Tactical & Gunsmithing, located in Princeton, West Virginia, has introduced a formal range membership program, opening structured access to its outdoor shooting range on Unity Road for Mercer County residents. The program runs alongside the shop’s established offerings, which include firearms sales, suppressor sales, body armor sales, and tactical accessories.

Range Memberships Now Open to Mercer County Shooters

The membership program replaces a previous walk-in arrangement at the outdoor facility, giving members prioritized access to the range and on-site training resources. Those resources include basic pistol & concealed carry training classes delivered by NRA and USCCA certified instructors. Having an operational outdoor shooting range, certified instruction, and a fully stocked retail floor at a single location offers a practical option for both new and experienced shooters across the region.

“We have seen consistent demand from local customers who want more than a one-time purchase – they want an ongoing relationship with a shop that can handle everything from their first firearm to advanced training,” said the Owner of Whispering Pines Tactical & Gunsmithing. “With this membership launch, we can now serve more than 50 active members annually through structured range access and our concealed carry curriculum.”

NFA Transfers and Suppressor Services Through Silencer Shop Integration

The shop continues to process NFA Transfers in its role as a Powered by Silencer Shop Dealer, a setup that simplifies the documentation process tied to suppressor purchases. Customers can handle digital fingerprinting and Form 4 submissions directly in-store, reducing the administrative steps typically involved with NFA items.

Firearms & suppressor sales remain central to the business, with inventory covering handguns, rifles, and shotguns alongside suppressors sourced from multiple manufacturers. The shop also stocks body armor and tactical accessories for customers equipping themselves for personal protection or professional applications.

Gunsmithing Credentials Add a Service Layer Uncommon in the Region

Whispering Pines carries certification as an Approved AGI Gunsmithing Service Center, a designation issued by the American Gunsmithing Institute that reflects a verified level of technical training. The gunsmithing services available cover cleaning, repair, and modification work, allowing customers to address mechanical issues at the same location where their firearms were purchased.

The combination of retail firearms sales, NFA paperwork processing, certified instruction, and credentialed repair services is relatively uncommon among single family-owned FFL dealers operating in rural West Virginia. The shop’s location on Unity Road in Princeton places it within reasonable reach of a substantial portion of Mercer County’s population.

Residents pursuing concealed carry permits in West Virginia can complete the entire qualification process on-site, from the classroom instruction through the live-fire component on the outdoor shooting range – removing the need to coordinate between separate venues for training and range time.
