If you're in the area and looking for a gun ran range, this is the spot. Saturday mornings can get real busy and there might be a wait, but it's not that bad. Prices are standard for a typical shooting range. However, I can't give this place a 5 star because other rangers have set the bar pretty high when it comes to appearance. This place needs a complete facelift and cleaning.

Such a fun date night at Insight Shooting Range. It was my first time ever at a shooting range and I didn't know what to expect. This turned out to be such a good learning experience that was also really engaging. When you get to the range, they'll basically set you up with any equipment you'll need. You will also have to give your ID and sign a liability form. We spent about 1.5 hours here and it was plenty of time. It was great time of building adrenaline, focusing and sharpening aim and conversation! Perfect spot for a unique and different date.

Came here for fun as a first timer who has no interest in owning a gun and has never held one! The staff is super chill and nice, both when I called and during service. The parking lot can have limited spaces, but the inside is hugee and you get your individual lane. They seem to have regular customers who bring their own guns to practice. For a date, cost around $100 ( expect $30 per round of 50) so more if you add more ammo. Pretty fast, just going down the aisles to sign the waivers, give id. The staff is knowledgeable and very beginner friendly. He was able to help us choose a gun suited for our experience level and was encouraging. Quite busy, so not like 1:1 attentiveness, basically get your tutorial and footing and off you go! We were given a brief tutorial and some gun safety rules at the counter and then sent off to the range with our caddy. Hearing equipment required $1 deposit. Separate range fees for each person ($20, then 18 for one lane). Inside again spacious, simple. Has a old timer switch to move the target to clip on and shelf on the bottom. Huge broom for the shells and nice organized tray to load the ammo into the magazine. They offer a loader (limited) if you really struggle loading ammo, but i realized its a sort of push in before the dip and then push again in the back sort of slide action. The shooting itself is pretty simple but can make tired arms. Do choose a target with a bright spot in the middle or where you want to aim as you will be rather cross eyed. No rush, do it at your own pace and then pay at the end (not time limit if not busy, just material fees). There is a 2.75 card fee surcharge and keep in mind of taxes. Basic ammo $28, the $8 ones are smaller and less accurate/get jammed easily so not recommended. You rent one gun at a time ( maybe can buy more) and switch it out. They have guns not allowed to be carried in california. As a girl, I felt very safe here and no one was judgemental or haughty. In this place, everyone is respected. The owners (i think) are an old asian couple hehe so cute, but the workers all chill young dudes. Everyone kept to themselves casual/practicing and it was a good vibe. Recommend trying this for a date night or hangout if you can afford to!

I was being referred to come to this shooting range to practice. There were plenty of parking spots. The small garden at the parking caught my eyes. It was well maintained. I checked-in with the staff. Staff is very nice and respectful. They are very knowledgeable about guns as well. They also provided ear muffs and safety glasses. There are a big varieties of guns/shotguns/rifles for rental. There are also interesting targets (e.g. Star War) available for purchase. Price was reasonable. I enjoyed my experience here. Will come back to practice again.

I've been going to ISR for many years. Very professional staff. To check in, you wait at the front entrance to be signaled in to the counter. You will get assigned a lane if one is available or they will notify you when one becomes available. There are 20 lanes. The range fee is for the lane versus paying per hour. My cost for the lane plus 1 target was $23.94. They do have a parking lot. However, if the lot is full, there's plenty of street parking. Once in a while, they'll have a CCW class doing their shooting. That's when the wait for a lane will be much longer.

Went to shoot and the process was pretty quick and easy . Definitely a good spot to go shooting your around the area and affordable as well.

Staff is great, kept clean everyone is very respectful the range dose practice safety first lisc bullets have to meet their requirements and not only that lounge area to sit if you choose not to go inside the shooting area.

25 yard conventional bullseye target shooting, 9mm and 22lr

Been going for about a year, guys behind the counter and RSO's are informative and super chill as long as you're not doing anything dangerous. Like any other indoor range they check ammo, but generally don't care what firearms you bring, most I've gotten is "Oh dude is that a X? Sweet." On the firing line. I only shoot pistols here, rifle and shotgun ammo must be bought from them (no thanks.). 25 yard range, ventilation is pretty good but FT3 in Stanton is definitely better. In the firing line the marks for distances are numbers on the wall for yardages with lines painted across the floor for reference. I typically pay $25-28 for a lane and 2-3 paper targets, if you want to bring your own it must be approved by them. Only thing that might be a turn off is the fact that it isn't the prettiest range, and the furnishings are pretty lackluster. I've never seen a chair on the firing line and there are wood benches about 10 feet behind the line. But for the value, solid target selection and good options for rentals (Glocks, M&P's, 1911's, revolvers, many more) you can't really beat it as a regular without spending significantly more for a club membership or range fees elsewhere.

Such a Fun and Unique Date Night! My husband and I decided to try something different for date night, and visiting Insight Shooting Range was such an awesome experience! It was our first time at a shooting range, and we had no experience, but the guys at the front were incredibly helpful. They took the time to teach us how to handle the guns safely and gave us clear instructions. Safety and respect are key here, and as long as you follow the rules, you'll have an amazing time! Everyone was super friendly, and we felt comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. We had such a great time and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and exciting experience!

I've been to the range several times, mostly on weekends, and today for the first time during the week. All of my experiences have been pleasant but the knowledgeable staff definitely has more time to impart all their knowledge when it's less busy so if you can come mid week, you will get more attention if you need that. I'm not completely inexperienced but I go shooting infrequently so I still get nervous and have a lot of respect for gun safety. The staff did not talk down to me but instead wanted to help and educate. So if you are new, don't be intimidated. They are approachable. As a woman in male dominated space, I can encounter macho BS, but not here. If you are shopping for a weapon, this is also a great resource for testing out firearms. I tried 3 different pistols while there today. There is plenty of parking and I love that they have a vegetable garden too. The jalapenos are looking good!

Practicing at the range.

4th time here by far one of my favorite shooting ranges. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly. Wait times if any are reasonable. Chill spot to come practice

Ask the Community - Insight Shooting Range

What kind of identification do they require?

We provided our drivers license and they hold them while you're in your lane. I'm sure another form that's recognized as a form ID will be welcomed. Suggest you call them.

Can anyone confirm that they allow .223/5.56 rifles and how much do they charge for ammo? I saw the rules saying that for rifles they have to use range ammo.

They do allow 223/556 rifles. The box of ammo is $20

Do we need to bring our own eye and ear protection gear?

If you have your own yes you can take it but if you don't have any, they do have safety glasses but I believe you have to buy them and they aren't to expensive, as far as hearing protection I'm sure they have the little foam ear plugs but same thing… 

Can I bring my own ammo for a 22LR pump action long rifle? Or do I need to buy my ammo at the range?

Yes you can take your own but it has to be copper plated....you can NOT take lead tips....they say the lead tips create to much smoke inside the shooting range from what I was told, ironically they sell 22LR lead tips there I believe for $8 and you… 

Saw a review that mentioned you have to buy their ammo if shooting 556... does the same apply to 223?

Yes, for ALL long guns, including shotgun ammo too. They charge at least $1.00/round or more for .223; for 5.56, several cents more/round. It's forced and blatant price gouging.

Can I take my son of 8 years old?

10+ only

I have a Henry big boy X .45 long colt.. is that allowed at the range? also a 45-70

Do you rent guns?

Yes they do.

Hi do you guys allow shotguns in the range? And what kind ammo is allowed

Yes but you must use their ammo. I beleave it's dove loads.

Do they allow polymer 80 build pistol?

Yes.

How much for a box of range ammo now?

I use 45 cal and pay about $50.00 plus dollars a box. I remember when ammo was 5 cent a round.

What days can you shoot 556?

I usually will shoot my 223 cal Sunday through Wednesday. I find the more experienced shooters come during early opening hours. The staff are professional and are capable of answering most of your questions.

Can I take my 10 year old son?

Yes!

Can I take FSC test here?

yes

Is there required for real id or passport ? Or driver license is fine

What's the fee for a shooter?

^^and buying firearms...

During these times. How many people per party are allowed in?

Any update on how COVID-19 restrictions are here? For example, social distancing, wearing a mask, spacing between booths, hand sanitizing stations, tape on the floor and signs on the wall to show reminders of keeping a social distance?

Facemasks are required upon entering the building and while inside. The only exception is when you're actually on the firing line shooting your weapon, you can lower it. As far as clean surfaces at the range and floor, it's a shooting range. It is… 

Do they sell reloads?

Yes, but for in range use only. You're not allowed to leave with them. And they also have 150 round per person max per lane.… 

Do they have any AR's that you are able to shoot here?

I do believe they have ARs you can rent from them. My girlfriend and I were just shooting our ARs chambered in 223/556. We were allowed to use our own ammo as well.

I'm a beginner, but I went with someone who knew what they were doing and helped walk me through everything. What stood out to me was how clear the safety instructions were. The range did a good job making sure everyone understood the rules, which made the environment feel very safe. Overall, it was a fun experience and I'd come back.

I was visiting from out of town (Oakland, CA) and stopped in to shoot. It was a weekend afternoon,…read moreso there was a bit of a wait. All in all, it was worth the wait. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It sounded like they made special accommodations for myself and some other shooters, by opening up the "tactical" range, since there were no members shooting at that time. That was awesome, because it got me on the range sooner. I also brought with me a new firearm - Canik Mete MC9LS with a new optic. I forgot my regular range bag with my tools; however, the range staff allowed me to use one of their tools to adjust my new optic. I don't know how the targets move on the regular range, but on the tactical range, you can push buttons to automatically set the targets at a specified distance, move the targets manually back and forth, and automatically have the target return. Best of all, the prices were very reasonable. $20 per lane and $0.50 targets - WAAAAAY better than prices in the Bay Area. If I were a resident of the area, I'd definitely become a member. (I overheard one of the staff members informing another customer of the benefits and price.). Top Notch outfit in my opinion.

I took the Basic Handgun 101 Class last month. If you haven't fired in a while or are a complete…read morenovice, this is the class for you. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable and aside from learning how the gun operates, safety and cleaning of the weapon, she also provided great information on regulatory laws, types of safes and correct methods of transporting your firearm. The trip to the gun range gave me a chance to put into practice what she taught us. She's ex-military so if you feel like you're in boot camp while at the range, it's all good. She wants to make sure that you learn safety not only for yourself, but for others around you. An added benefit, for an additional cost, you can also get your Firearm Safety Certificate. I highly recommend taking this course. I definitely plan on taking additional courses. Thanks Lisa!

Highly recommend this class for enthusiasts and folks looking to sharpen their skill sets. I came…read morein for rifle-1 which turned out to be bonus combined with tactical shotgun. It was highly informative and challenging for all of us. The Friday classes are usually very small handful of people and allows us to go for more advanced drills which we wouldn't be able to do otherwise in a larger class of say 10-16. I much prefer it this way. Tim is an excellent trainer and I appreciate his depth of knowledge and willingness to tailor his approach to each students level of abilities. I've taken rifle-1, shotgun-1, tactical pistol 1 and have scheduled pistol-2 next month. I plan to try and take one of his classes at least a couple times a year
