I attended the CCW class at GUNSLINGERS yesterday, 02/08/2020. I have been on many gun ranges as well as tactical ranges. I happened to attend this class to maintain my CCW and there was a total of fourteen participants in the class. It's important to point out that Devan was the only Rangemaster assisted by his daughter during this course of fire. There were a few experienced shooters and many inexperienced shooters on this range day. This guy (Devan owner/operator) ran this class at the pace of the slowest shooter. (Anyone with Military or Law Enforcement experience knows that you are only as fast and strong as your weakest link). Everyone in this class was very receptive to his attention to detail. He spent so much time with inexperienced shooters and explained the basic fundamentals of shooting. In my observation, he was never short, arrogant, irritated or flustered with a shooter's lacked knowledge in the gun fundamentals or basic fundamentals regarding the nomenclature of their perspective weapon. I can tell everyone that I witnessed this man walk up to every shooter and went over their prospective targets with them and gave his opinion as to how they should correct their current shooting pattern. He is very knowledgeable in the aspects and basics of shooting and handling a firearm. If you want to know how you are shooting or just a beginner, Devan is the go-to guy regarding any aspects of shooting or basic fundamentals regarding a firearm or shooting. Thank you very much, Devan, for a very well organized CCW Class. I will be back!

Hats off to Vance and the team at Central Valley CCW for doing things right.

Has the thought ever crossed your mind about buying a firearm? Have you read the news and have been…read moreappalled by the rise in crime here in California? Well, can buy the firearm (handgun, rifle, shotgun) but you have to keep it in your home. That's great if you unfortunately have a home invasion or something heinous like that happen to you (read up on "Castle Doctrine"). But what about you going to work, church, grocery store, park, an unfamiliar city? What are you going to do to protect yourself and the ones you love? I suggest getting a Carry Concealed Weapon (CCW) license. And where do you go for training? Gallardo Firearms Training. It's a HUGE decision and one not taken lightly but this is the place to go. Want further training later on? This again, is the place. Relaxed, chill, informative (both instructors are LEO's) no performance pressure environment. You will learn the laws and hear the teachings on gun safety. It will prepare you for carrying a gun in concealment. Just give it some thought. Oh, and when the dude from United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) comes and gives his spiel, sign up for the insurance. I went 2 years in misery thinking what would happen if I had to take a life and got arrested and prosecuted. This is a major blessing. Again, think about it.

Rankin Field has been my go‑to range for years, and coming back again reminded me why it's still…read moreone of the best spots in the area. The staff continues to be solid, professional, firm when they need to be, and helpful when you have questions. It's the kind of range where you can learn something every time you show up, whether it's from the crew or from the shooters around you. The outdoor setup is what makes this place special. Wide lanes, plenty of space, and a layout that gives you room to breathe. On busy weekends, it fills up fast, but there are also days where you practically have the whole range to yourself. That balance is rare. I did run into one issue with the self‑resetting steel targets. When you pull the rope, the bar that's supposed to drop the targets back down sometimes stays up, which means you end up shooting a target that never resets. Not a dealbreaker, but something worth noting. When I mentioned it to a staff member on my way out, they told me they're already working on changes and improvements, possibly adding new features as well. Good to hear they're staying on top of things. One thing I've always appreciated is the variety of classes they offer. You can sign up for everything from intro competition shooting to pistol optic fundamentals and, most importantly, CCW courses. It's a range that doesn't just give you a place to shoot, it gives you a place to grow. Rankin Field is still the outdoor range I recommend in the Central Valley. Good staff, good space, and a commitment to improving what they already have. I'm looking forward to seeing what updates they roll out next.

My husband and I visited this store for the first time and were surprised by how we were treated…read morebecause of the reviews. Upon arrival, we were buzzed in, which was fine. However, once inside, we were greeted by a dog before seeing any staff. Unsure of where to go, I called out for assistance. My husband has a very real fear of dogs due to a traumatic childhood experience in which he witnessed another child lose their life from a dog attack. Although the dog in the store appeared very friendly, my husband remained by the door, visibly uncomfortable, hoping the owner would call the dog back. Instead of recognizing my husband's fear, the owner became extremely hostile. He aggressively told my husband to "get the F out" and "F him," insisting the dog was a service animal. When I tried to explain and apologize, I was also cursed at and told to "get the F out" simply for trying to deescalate the situation. I was so shaken that I nearly had an anxiety attack. This is a business open to the public, and the owner should be more mindful that not everyone is comfortable around dogs. There are respectful ways to handle situations like this. A responsible business owner should be able to recognize and respond appropriately to a customer's fear, especially when it involves an animal. This experience was incredibly upsetting and, in my opinion, handled with zero professionalism or compassion. That's just my experience and perspective but I strongly advise others to approach with caution. If the owner feels offended, he may respond with unprofessional aggression.
