I've live 5 minutes from the range. I should have become a member years ago! Love this range and the staff have been great! I can't wait to see what's to come. Hopefully growth and new range options, Pro Shop etc read more

My husband is a member at this location but I have had the pleasure to use this facility. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. Watched the safety video and signed the waiver prior to speed up the check in process. Great options for target posters and yard ranges. Minimal shade but lots of seating and tables for your personal belongings. Bathrooms are usually clean and there is lots of parking. Don't forget your headphones. read more

Love this open range! My boys have been here before but this was my first time. I prefer the open range to a closed one because it feels more comfortable. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, answering all my questions and never making me feel like an annoying newbie lol. Inside the front office they have snacks/merch and basic shooting necessities (ear plugs, glasses, targets). The grounds are taken care of, parking for both pistol and rifle ranges and outdoor bathrooms. Definitely coming back! read more

I just became a member as I appreciate the customer service and that they don't charge hourly as many other ranges. Those are fancier but nothing better than exercising your 2nd amendment right outdoors. So far had tried the pistol and 25yd range to zero in my Rueger PCC and practice with my daily carry Cz 75 c. read more

This is a great range very safety oriented and not too far if your in the central valley. They have a 200 yard if you can qualify with the range officer. And some great food places just down the road for lunch choices. Overall A+. read more

The staff at Linden Gun range are so friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help with whatever they can. Checking in is a breeze. Just make sure to watch the safely video first on the website, and sign the waiver before going. It will save time in the office, otherwise you can do it there. The RSO's are happy to answer any question and there to make sure everyone is safe and following the rules. I took an intro to shooting class there and that was great too. This place is definitely one of the best ranges out there. read more

My first time at LGR was for a class, 2nd with some friends, and 3rd solo. I love it there! The training bays had their targets a little too low in my opinion, but that's my only viable complaint. The office staff are very friendly and helpful and the RSO's are also friendly and professional. Not to mention, outdoor ranges are always fun. They, however, don't sell any ammo- but I hear that is in the works of changing soon. read more

Took my son here in August for his 10th birthday, it was great. Check in was easy and all the staff were friendly and helpful. We got some good advice from the RSO. The pistol range has one lane for wheelchair, since it was open, it was perfect for my son. If it wasn't so hot, we would have stayed longer. With that said, -1 star for the lack of a good canopy over the benches and behind the line. We will be back when it starts to cool down. Kudos to the team at Linden Gun Range for making our visit enjoyable and safe. read more

Great place to shoot. Front desk all the way to range masters are polite and professional.

Happy the indoor place didn't pan out because coming here was a GREAT experience! From Cindy in the office & the other gentleman who checked us in to Larry & Jason outside! So friendly & helpful for us newbies! We would definitely come back & recommend coming here! read more

Living in Stockton I found LGR a very quick and easy drive. Other outdoor ranges from Stockton are either a conciderable drive or out in the middle of nowhere. Which doesn't make them awful but location is always important! On Superbowl Sunday I drove out to the range in Linden to get some range time in. The local surrounding indoor ranges are great for pistols but really no fun or challenging for rifles. When I arrived I went in to sign in I was greeted by a very sweet woman who answered all my questions. She was pleasant, courteous & professional. Once at the range table I was greeted by the RSO who gave me the ranges basic rules and guidelines. After the range going cold I noticed my rounds were going low & to the right. I asked the RSO for some help & he was more than happy to help me with my windage & help me adjust my front sight. After his help I was hitting nothing but center mass! I have found my go to outdoor range and encourage others to check this place out! Now I gotta save up for a membership! Thanks LGR, I will definitely be back! read more

This is for the LCSC arm (Linden Competitive Shooting Club) of the San Joaquin Rifle & Pistol Range. LCSC offers USPSA matches every 2nd Sunday of the month. This is an excellent option for us action shooters, as Twin Sisters, Chabot, and Diablo (for the time being) are closed. They have wide bays where long stages can be built. LCSC is different where the match director will walk the stages with every shooter. Different from the rest of the clubs, but definitely for the sake of safety. I also like that they post stage in FB before hand and display the top dogs after each match. The staff are friendly and the place is well maintained. I wish they would build permanent awnings for the action sports. So action shooters we have another option for USPSA shooting on the 2nd Sunday of the month, see you there! read more

Linden Gun Range - Intersting stages at Linden Competitive Shooting Club - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Linden, California

Fantastic gun range! We were both impressed with the facility and range team. The facility is open and well organized. The RSOs, Glenn and Jason, went above and beyond to help us get situated and adjust to a new firearm. We are already discussing our next visit to the this spot. read more

This place is awesome! I been to quite a few ranges over the years and have to say this place is one of the best around in San Joaquin County. All the staff are friendly and professional from the front office to the Range Safety Officers (RSO). If you know what you are doing and have good firearms safety practices, you will do well here and have an very enjoyable experience. Even if you are new to the shooting scene, the staff is patient and informative. I have been to a few private classes and courses here when it has been closed to the public, and have had tons more of fun here!! If you ever get a chance to get into a specialty course or competition shooting match, you will come to appreciate this venue on a whole other level. For the average shooter and casual hobbyist out there, this place is definitely good to go! I like to warm up on the 50 yard line with my long gun then go to the 100 yard line for more of a challenge. If your feeling like your Chris Kyle, you can shoot on the 200 yard line if you qualify with the range staff first. The pistol range can get real busy on weekends especially in the late morning heading into noon. Pack a lunch in a cooler and save some time and money. I've been out there sometimes from opening to closing time and wondered where did the time go. There's no time limit on this range which makes it so awesome. Bring plenty of ammo, targets, snacks, staples and friends for a good time! If you are all about that pew pew pew life...this is your place. read more

Went back to San Joaquin Gun Range today and have to report that the bathrooms were A-OK ! Now that this has been handled I can bring the wife next time. All is 5 Stars at this Range Good staff, they are respectful, helpful in a professional manner. Pack a lunch and spend the day shooting. FUN FUN! read more

An amazing family friendly place that places your safety first! I have shot at several of the remaining Bay Area gun ranges in the Bay Area and Linden Gun Range is second to none. Amazing facility where the owner and staff truly care about your safety. RSO' that treat you with respect and are willing to help out regardless of your skill level. A very nice change from the ranges where the RSO's act like and treat you as if you just fell off a turnip truck and talk down to you. I would recommend planning an all day trip so you can have fun and truly take in every thing LGR has to offer! read more

Linden Gun Range - LGR - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Linden, California

I love this place. It is one of the few places I am able to shoot my rifles and my handguns in the same visit. Outdoor ranges and yardage from 25 to 200yards. The range masters are very attentative and always willing to help out. I have only had positive experiences here. With a pricepoint of $17 for all day it is worth it. I bring my lunch. I will shoot pistols, eat lunch and then go to the rifle range. It is a great way to spend the day with the one you love. 2 thumbs up! read more

Linden Gun Range - Sighting in my Socom16 M1A on the 100 yard range. - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Linden, California

I should do an update on my last review because of the many changes that have happened since then. The new pistol ranges and 25 yard ranges have been built and look great. The 50 and 100 yard ranges have been fixed up and repainted. Even the parking lots have been reworked with more space and gravel. The old pistol range has turned into a membership range and you must qualify to be a member for this "Reactive Pistol Range" membership. To qualifying you have to shoot 6/10 rounds into a 5 1/2" orange circle from the 15 yard line. You must now qualify for the 200 yard range also. To qualifying you have to shoot 5/5 rounds into a 5 1/2" orange circle from the 100 yard range. Shotguns are now allowed on the 25, 50, and 100 yard ranges, but NO buckshot. Slugs only and you have to pick up your shells when your finished. It is not "cash only" anymore. They now accept credit/debit cards. Restrooms! They now have real restrooms! It was a little funny though what they posted on their Facebook page about the restrooms... "We put in these brand new bathrooms, found out that tampons do not do well in the lines, had them overflow twice. I put signs up in the bathrooms kindly asking women to not flush them anymore... and here we are two weeks later with 2 tampons plugging the lines. We WILL shut them down to the public if this continues and will only have port-o-potties available, if this doesnt change. This would be an enormous waste of money, and a bummer for all our customers. Men, if your bring the ladies, ask them to read all signs and follow them lol, PLEASE!" There's plenty more, but I'm too lazy ass hell to type all that sh*t out. Just come out here and see for yourself. They have done a lot in less than a year and I appreciate all the hard work that's been done so far. Hopefully they can get more things going like discounts to military/peace officers and maybe metal targets for us in the near future. Pew, pew, pew... read more

I had a great experience here coming up from the Bay Area today with a couple of friends. The range masters were on point and super cool. I like how the range is set up with multiple distances and whatnot. Will definitely return when in the area. read more

I have been to this range at least 5 times. They have it all - 7, 15, 25 yd pistol and 50, 100, 200 yd rifle ranges. On 12/26/15, they had a customer appreciation day offerring free shooting, a free lunch and to top it off, they had outside vendors there offerring free training. I booked a group of 9 and it was one of the funnest range days I ever had. The staff there are very friendly and rangemasters are always helpful and safe. This is by far my favorite outdoor range. If you haven't been, go now and have some fun! read more

It's been quite some time since I've been there. I used to shoot there all the time before it's been transformed into a country club type of setting. The new working membership is out of the question because of my shift work and I basically rarely have time for myself as it is. If I don't want to to have a working membership, the regular membership is not affordable. What LGR wants may draw a particular type of members, but it puts a wall up for others with the working membership. I'm looking for a place to shoot and I don't need the perks. There is no doubt LGR has a place in the shooting community, but as expensive as ammo is, I feel that to be able to shoot should not be a luxury that most are unable to afford. Appears I won't be going there ever again which is very unfortunate because I thought Christine and the staff were very nice. read more

I had to prepare to qualify with the Mini 14 rifle for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. I had never shot a rifle before. Thanks to Linden Gun Range staff and weapons expert Glenn Abrescy, I was able to qualify and pass with a great score. He also helped me with the Glock 9mm pistol, which I now feel confident that I can shoot safely, and qualify to carry when I need. He taught me gun safety, familiarized me with the weapons system, and taught me proper technique in handling, and firing the weapon. I highly recommend making appointment with Mr. Abrescy for any of your weaponry needs, including gun safety, and much more. He is a great instructor, patient, and fun to work with. read more

Nice place to go have some fun with family and /or friends all the staff is very professional and knowledgeable, I would recommend this place. read more

After shooting here a few more times since my initial review, I've upgraded my rating to 5 stars (and I don't give too many of those). Shooting at Linden is pretty much "as good as it gets" and is a throw back to when people went shooting to "have fun" and ranges weren't so crowded and staff so uptight trying to maintain range safety. This is not to say that range safety is unnecessary; it certainly is. But since Linden is located SO far away from the main urban areas in the SF Bay Area, it is not that crowded and most of the people to shoot there are familiar with guns, know what the gun safety rules are and follow them without the need to stress out the RSO (and worry other shooters nearby). However, my rating is only for the 50/100 yard ranges, which are the only ranges that I have used so far. I have qualified for use of the 200 yards range but haven't had the chance to use it yet. I like that I can drive right up to the ranges and park my truck only steps from the shooting stations, so that I can bring extra firearms and gear but don't have to schlep all of it at the same time to my shooting bench; I can just walk a few steps to get what I need when I need it. Anyway, if you want a more relaxed and "old school" range shooting experience, you should definitely take the time to check out Linden. read more

I'm a Retired Stockton Police Officer, with 11 years on SWAT, as the Senior Training Officer and Assistant Team Leader. I competed in FBI Advanced SWAT competitions for 6 years in a row, where our team placed 1st 5 times and 2nd once. I was also on our 2 man sniper team and placed 1st 5 years in a row. ENOUGH ABOUT ME!!! I recently have had the pleasure of joining the Linden Gun Range, and meeting their front desk staff, Cindy Abresey and her daughter Miranda. They are friendly, professional, and very helpful. It takes a lot to impress me, and I am definitely impressed. I also met their Lead Range Safety Officer, Jason Hill. He's very knowledgeable and personable. It felt great to get behind my .308 again. I'm looking forward to shooting on their 200 yard range. The Linden Gun Range is, hands down, a Class Act. I highly recommend them, whether you're new at shooting, or an old pro. We all have something to learn. read more

I love this range. Office people are always friendly. The Range Officers are also friendly but are totally on top of it and they don't mess around with regards to safety which I appreciate. It is large enough to accommodate a lot of people on both rifle and pistol ranges. A clean, fun, and safe place to shoot! read more

The friendliest range I have been to. The staff was very nice and helpful. All of my questions were answered and I felt like they listened. The grounds were clean and well kept. Very well organized. I felt very comfortable and appreciated. I highly recommend this place. Well worth the drive and money. read more

It was our first time shooting on this range! The lady that checked us in was awesome she was very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. She explained everything. The two RSO's were very helpful and professional. I felt very safe and comfortable there and It was busy. They have a very nice hand cleaning station and the restroom was very clean. It was well organized and we really enjoyed our time there! We will go back again very soon Cindy and Glenn read more

I came here with my family and was pretty disappointed. You have to go to the office area to pay and check in and the shooting area is ridiculously far from where you park. No one wants to carry all their guns and ammo that far. Because I had two older people and a child with me, we actually drove closer to the range after paying. The girl in the office was nice enough, but the check in process is very long; it's like a doctor's office medical history or a law enforcement background check just to shoot your own gun. There are staff members walking around to "assist" but I felt like it was an army training facility, but with no training. The staff are more like narcs than helpers. I got tired of waiting for all the other groups of people in my area to finish before I could change out my targets and the price was really ridiculous for a family outing. I would not return and I would not recommend it to anyone. read more

I have not been to the range since shortly before the owner passed away last year. I had read about all the changes on Facebook and thought I would go out to dial in some rifles on the 200 yard range. I can not believe some of the changes that have occurred. You have to "qualify" on the 100 yard range before being "allowed" on the 200 yd? Empty chamber indicators? Only one pistol at a time on the firing line? One or two people at a time inside to register? Wait outside until there is only 1 or 2 people inside? Here's my favorite: I asked if I could shoot 22mag rifle on the 200 yard. I had seen where it said only high power on the 200 yard range so I asked about shooting 22 mag. The response? "Is that a rimfire?".....I wonder what he would have said if I mentioned 22-250?(same caliber), This is the short list of rules....unlike anything I have seen at ANY of the other local ranges......I am not even sure the guy at the counter was into guns. All me and my buddy(both longtime avid shooters) could say was "You have got to be kidding me?" .....so we did what every consumer has the option of doing: We took our business elsewhere. The new owners have made this range unlike any other in the area. If you need your gun training wheels to shoot and have little or no knowledge or training in firearms, San Joaquin is prob a good place to go shoot. You will stay warmly wrapped in your protective cocoon. If you like to go shoot your guns and enjoy your sport, you might want to look at one of the other local facilities. I do not care for Manteca Sportsman Club but after todays experience, I would absolutely recommend them over San Joaquin gun. The price is the same. I do wish San Joaquin Gun success but their style of running a gun range is probably not for the experienced shooter who wants to spend a relaxing couple of hours going "BANG! BANG! BANG!" read more

I like this place! It's good for training 25, 100, & 200 yards of shooting. The staff is very accommodating, helpful, and friendly. I will surely be back & hopefully try to join one of the competitions. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Today was my first time coming to the Linden Gun Range. When I walked into the office to sign in I was immediately greeted by two of the most pleasant smiling young ladies, Jenny and Miles. They happily explained the rules and operations of the gun range and left a lasting impression with me as to the level of professionalism the employees of this range exude! *I was at the 50 yd. range and Jason was very professional and safety conscious, and was very helpful when I had a brand new rifle jam on me. He was training a new employee, O'Reilly, who was very friendly and since there was only one other shooter at the range besides myself, we all were able to enjoy some "gun talk" which I enjoyed very much. *I think Christine Zádor should be very proud of the crew she has working for her. Every one of them made my day a truly enjoyable experience and I will definitely be visiting the range more often. Thank you again, Bret Smith read more

Customer Appreciation day and we had a great time! Thanks for giving back to us today.

I really enjoyed my first time here, the staff was very friendly and the facilities were clean. There is a big emphasis on safety which is a pain but also appreciated, not everyone has the same experience with guns and it's nice to know they will and do correct people breaking the rules. It would be nice to be able to holster draw and rapid fire but I understand why they don't allow it (greenhorns) but it would be nice if they would have a class or something to be able to practice this important skill if you have CCW and need to practice. I'm sure I could go to a BLM area if there was one close enough but they all seem to 1-1/2 to 2 hours away. I highly recommend the Range, outdoor shooting is so much more enjoyable. Have fun and defend your 2a rights read more

Great place to shoot...plenty of room, nice staff, great prices! They also don't charge an arm and a leg for ammo...pretty reasonable prices! My only complaint is with the RSO on the 25 yd lane. Being new to the range we were seeking a bit of info regarding how they clear the line. He was a bit less the helpful. The system off needing to ask shooters to stop shooting and clear the range is a little odd. It would be better to have the RSO clear the range every 15 minutes or so to allow new shooters to put up targets. If no one needs/wants to add targets then everyone can go right back to shooting. read more
