The Gun Range

Super friendly knowledgeable staff who seems to enjoy where they work. I know you’ve been to those gun shops where they talk down to you or are just there to sell with no real warmth. If you are one of those people enjoy FRIENDLY employees who want to help you find the right gun, COME HERE! Thank you guys for excellent service. We will be back!

I’ve been to this place many times and they are awesome. Everyone working there is friendly and knowledgable. Great inventory of guns and accessories with reasonable prices. The range is very nice too.
My wife and I took a class there and learned how to handle a gun safely. Don the instructor was ex military and a gunsmith so he knew stuff. If you want to take a class there, ask for him. Bottom line – outstanding place!

Let me state my 2 star rating is only because there is a critical need for more sales counter help an lane space for the range.
I’ve been her multiple time, recently purchased and all personnel I encountered were professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. Great selection as well but waiting 90 minutes to pick up a purchase is not acceptable.
I had a 2 hour wait to purchase the gun. I had hoped that wait was the result of a sale or something similar but every time I’m there its the same.
Great business an I hope you stick around but hire more employees!

I have visited this range multiple times and I have tried other places too. By far, this is the best one. Good inventory on a lot products and rentals. Staffs are very friendly. I do have a small concern. I agree 17 per lane is very reasonable, but when four of us were given only one lane because it was crowded and charged 68 dollars, it became a little uncomfortable. Even we had four people, it didn’t mean we gonna stay four times longer than what we planned.
Other than that, I’m very happy with this place. I will also buy guns there if they have what I like. Their prices on guns are good too. BTW they have Chiappa revolvers in stock.
Oh oh. Another suggestion, please look into single shot ar-​pistol transfer. I now have to drive really far to do it.

Fun fun shooting a gun gun! What can i say but this place was great! Yes it gets really crowded on the weekend so its better to show up early. Sign ur name on the list and wait. They have gun rentals, u could take permit test here to.
The shooting range was spacious and they had push brooms to move the empty shells so no one will trip on em. I had a great time! Wish i could stay longer. I will come back and may i add this isn’t my first time just my first my review. Check em out but like i said be there early cuz parking is limited unless u want to park on the side of the building. They had lots of targets to choose from lots of rental guns and the staff was real friendly they also have a study book u could use to get ur gun permit. We payed 52 dollars for almost 2 hours of shooting it was fun. Surely looking forward to come back!

I initially had a bad experience here when they forgot to add me to a class schedule. An employee was very offhand and rude when he told me the class was cancelled. After leaving work early to get there on time, I was mad and his attitude was too much. After I complained, the other staff seemed genuinely concerned and went out of their way to make it right. They gave me the manager’s number and he gave me a refund and free class, which was very informative and a lot of fun. Since then, I have had nothing but positive experiences at this place. So, if you run into the one rude guy who works here, don’t let him scare you away. Everybody else is great.

Been here several times since they opened. Took my first class last month for the 16 hour Sacramento requirement. Class was very informative. This place is great and I am still a fan.

Going to a shooting range was always on my bucket list, so my boyfriend decided to surprise me on my birthday!
Despite the long waiting time, both of us had a blast. It was both our first time holding/​shooting a gun so we were really nervous. Nonetheless, the staff was super friendly and she patiently explained everything to us. She did a wonderful job of walking through the basics and even came in with us as a mentor to watch our first couple rounds. After we got the hang of it, she let us have our own space. You can shoot from as close as 1 yard to as far as 25 yards. We stayed in the middle, ranging between 10 — 20 yards most of the time. It was a good range for us.
Recommendations:
— Call ahead, make sure there’s not too long of a wait. We came on a Sunday afternoon ~40 minute wait.
— Our favorite target was the one with 6 small targets (2 columns, 3 rows). My boyfriend and I (sharing one lane) had a small competition. Best out of three, and sadly, he was more accurate. Ah well, it was fun nonetheless. It was a good change of pace after just shooting silhouette targets after silhouette targets.
Side-​note: Props to those kids who can hit the target dead center. (Accompanied by parents, of course.) You go, kids!
I don’t have any other places to compare it to, but I would definitely recommend this place if you’re a first time shooter.

Always friendly and helpful. No cease fire. Which is nice. They have firearm repair and cleaning service. We had a pistol that kept jamming and did not know why. Found out we were using to much lube during cleaning. The only problem with them having to look at it was the time frame to actually get it it looked at. It took longer than expected and no one other than the person we spoke to knew exactly what was going on. They gave different excuses as to why. But all in all great place for getting your practice in.

First time being in a room full of guns, holding a gun, and firing a gun.
I’ve always wanted to go into one of these places and the opportunity came up because my friend decided to have her birthday here
Long story short, we had our own room reserved for two hours and it was a blast! All of the employees are so helpful, courteous, and intelligible. There were so many people in here which shows how popular and/​or awesome this place is.
Pricing seems fair but then again this is my very first time being in this kind of environment.
I give it 4 stars since I have nothing to compare it to but I know that I will definitely be back!

The Gun Range offers friendliest staff, a clean safe environment and the best deals on firearms in No. California.
Anyone who shoots regularly have encountered the personality of «those behind the counter» or «range master types» that treat people with contempt or worse. The staff at The Gun Range treat their customers with respect and are really friendly. Even when they are busy they always take the time to let you know they care.

This is by far one of the best indoor ranges in the Sacramento Area.
When you walk in, immediately let them know you’d like to check in, especially if there is a line. If you are bringing your own weapon, unloaded of course, make sure to let them know and set it on the metal tables they have there so a staff member can check it.
So how it works is you first give up your ID, and if it’s your first time there they have you sign a form and read over their rules. You can either rent or buy eye protection (for the same price, 2 $ as of now) and rent ear protection (forgot how much). If you did not bring your own guns then you can rent one there, they have pretty nice selection of AR, AKs, handguns, etc. You buy ammunition from them whether or not you brought your own guns. They pretty much open up a tab for your lane and you can use as much ammunition as you’d like (as long as you can afford it)
The lanes are pretty clean, and well maintained the only downside is that during their peak hours it can get pretty crowded, especially when a large group is sharing one lane.
The 4-​stars is for the place and about half of the staff there. For the most part they are patient, knowledgeable and professional
Unfortunately some employees can be very unprofessional, and snobby. Given the times I’ve been here and the experiences I’ve had this place is a solid 4-​stars. BUT there have been times were I’ve felt like I don’t want to return because of rude staff members.
Other than that, its a great place to blow some steam and have fun doing it.

Super Professional with some of the best range in town. They allow rapid fire. The staff is very friendly. Prices are great what more could you ask for i will for sure be back.

Stopped here today, as a «first time» shooter. I’ve gone to a range so infrequently (once or twice) over the last 20 years that I was a little intimidated about the whole thing — rules, safety, how to use my new gun, etc.
Called last night, and they were friendly enough when I explain I was new to shooting and asked for a walk through of how things worked. Check in and they look over your gun, sign the range rules sheet, fill out some personal info, $ 2 ear protection rental, $ 2 eye protection for purchase, targets are $ 0.85 each, box of .38 shells were $ 21 and they sold reloads for cheaper, range fee of $ 17 per person.
Arrived and the staff was friendly and quick to greet me. Waiting area has several leather couches and a couple chairs (note to management: Saturday morning was a little busy and some more seating area would be nice. Maybe in that back room by the incredibly cool laser pistol grip sites!)
It was a little confusing what to do if you walk in when their busy though. You should check in to get your name on the waiting list, fill out the forms, and get your gun looked over.
Range itself was clean and easy to operate, and simple to figure out what to do for a first time shooter. Point gun at ceiling, keep unloaded, load only at bench, keep barrel pointed down range.
They open a tab and you pay at the end. This allows you to buy more ammo or targets as you need them. Or rent a gun and purchase ammo for it.
I rented an AR15 with iron scopes. It was $ 20 bucks to rent the gun for an unlimited time. Ammo was $ 8 for a box of 50. They walk you through how to load and use the gun (ask them to let you try it so they can walk you through it and remember).
Today is my birthday and I decided to pick a range and try to figure it all out. I made a great choice coming here. I would certainly recommend it for you if this will be your first time at a range.

This is the best range I’ve been to. They allow rapid fire unlike other indoor ranges. Also they allow you to shoot centerfire rifles as well. Bring your AR and your AK and have at it. The staff is very friendly. I really like coming here. They also have a member card where you get a stamp every time you shoot and after ten stamps you get to shoot for free one time. There’s also a pretty nice selection of handguns and rifles.
I recently attend a 16 hour CCW course with instructor Michael Kennedy. Let me tell you, Michael is an amazing teacher. I learned so much from him. He was very nice and made the class fun. His knowledge is extensive. I became a better shooter instantly after applying his grip and stance techniques. I highly recommend taking his class! I look forward to coming back here to take his other classes. Thanks again Michael!

Came in this wonderful establishment and was totally taken care of by Don! I literally have never held a hand gun in my life and was rather intimidated by them. Today I decided to take charge and get a Glock 9 mm. Don showed me the correct way to hold, fire, and load the weapon. As a recently single mom I wanted protection for my family as well as the piece of mind a gun will add to my home. If you have any questions Don is the Man! Super helpful and a mega positive dude! Thank you so much for all the info and can’t wait to take instructional classes from him:)

The Gun Range… went here this evening with my son for a little shooting he’d been begging for. Our first trip to this facility.
I’m an experienced shooter, my son is a beginner. We were made to feel welcome and their process was seamless. We had a great experience and will go back. There is a range closer to us that is cheaper but the staff aren’t friendly at all so. now we have an alternative.
Great setup, nice folks and even the patrons were awesome offering us their guns to shoot.
We’ll be back. Thanks Dave!

Awesome first time experience going to a shooting range! The staff were super friendly and open to beginners. They did a great job of showing us the basics and were really nice about giving us our own open space.
They had a wide range of guns from hand guns to rifles (from what little I know about guns at least). Their machines were easy enough to operate and had clear instructions. The range was also very well lit, clean, and well maintained. There were about three rooms and approximately fifteen shooting «booths». The were fine with multiple people sharing a single booth.
The area was pretty empty at around The range got especially busy at around 9:30pm on a Monday night. We struggled to get a different gun rental because there were so many others who needed help getting set up.
Shooting isn’t a cheap hobby though. After the hand gun and ear muff rental, safety glasses, and bullets, it cost about $ 36 per person for a good two hours of shooting. Definitely worth it though. Sometimes you just need to feel the rush of a bullet exploding out into a target and the gun recoiling in your hand.

First time visit and this place is just awesome. Can’t say enough good things about the facility, assortment of rentals, prices and the knowledgeable staff. These folks made our day!
See you again soon!

I planned on doing a lot before writing this review so here goes. I will review both the range and the FFL.
_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​
Range:
On my first visit, I rented a Glock 19 with the intention of purchasing one.
Wanting to know more about the firearm itself, I specifically asked the range master on duty if I could physically field strip the firearm myself. While the rules state that I am not allowed to field strip the pistol, the owner (I think) was more than happy to teach me to field strip the firearm.
Prior to shooting the G19, all the stalls were filled up and I had to be on a waiting list. Fortunately, the wait only took about 10 minutes and they were able to transfer me over to the classroom range since no classes were going on at the time. If I can recall correctly, the maximum range is I think 12 ft.
The range itself was pretty awesome. When attaching your targets and selecting it’s distance, you have to enter it on a little numerical digital pad. Prior to my visit, I have never used one before but I was able to figure it out within 5 minutes.
After I was done trying out the G19, I told one of the employees that I liked the pistol and the employee was able to give me a quote on a new gen 3 G19.

FFL:
A couple of weeks later, I decided that they gave me a good price for a G19. Other places around did not have any G19s in stock and they had to order some. From what I was being offered at other places, they were asking $ 50-​$ 100 dollars more on the G19 itself (w/​o DROS fee) than what they were selling to me here.
So I went in and was able to purchase one. Unlike some other shops I went to, I felt that the employees here were very humble and accommodating to all my needs. With that said, I even had fun filling out the DROS paperwork as I joked and talked about the show King of the Hill with one of the employees.
I then left and endured the longest 10 days ever. Fortunately, they allow you to shoot the firearm you purchased while waiting for those 10 days which I did.

Overall, both the range and the FFL are great and I feel that every employee acts very professionally. With ammo depot across the street and the soon to be Wal-​Mart coming in, I really like how they’re going the extra mile to compete to gain your business.
