Located on Higuera, across from the cemetery, is Range Master. This indoor range is clean, friendly and secure. They have a wide selection of ammunition and guns. They have a good amount of lanes. My buddy and I had a great time. Would've liked it a little colder in the range, but they did have good air circulation. For 2, plus 5 targets, it was $84. A little steep. *No steel jacket ammo and no hallow points* read more

Range Master - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

New to area so I was looking for an indoor range for handgun practice. Found Range Master and was pleasantly surprised. Range was clean and staff was helpful in explaining their rules. I was there during the week and the range was not crowded with all shooters very safety oriented. Have been back several times since with same results. read more

Went there a few days ago with my gf to get her more comfortable around firearms and Andrew and Mel were so helpful and professional.

Recently took a class there and the instructor was excellent! Went above and beyond and not only covered what we needed to know but gave lots of useful and practical tips, while keeping it entertaining. Even though it was a 16 hour class the time flew by and everyone at the range was super helpful and kind. Will definitely come back for my next class. read more

This store could use a much needed customer service lesson for the employees and or owners. Blunt answers and not friendly at all. Actually rude. Get a clue when you're running a business. read more

The young man at the counter was very nice and explained a lot of things I hadn't realized! I asked why they were low in stock in some rifles and he explained that it was mainly due to the 11% excise tax on guns here in California. Which is so surprising to me! He also juggled questions from me and ran the indoor range at the same time. I appreciate his patience because I was so intrigued by his answers. Thank you! read more

I've been to this range before and had a solid experience shot 9mm and .40 S&W with no issues. The facilities are decent, and I was initially glad to find a place nearby where I could come in to shoot recreationally. However, during my second visit, I politely asked a staff member for help selecting a firearm with a bit more recoil since I'm not fully familiar with various models and calibers. Instead of offering guidance, he loudly accused me of "giving myself away" and said he wouldn't let me shoot anything that might "damage his range." The tone and delivery were unnecessarily humiliating and completely uncalled for, especially since I approached the conversation respectfully and simply wanted to learn. I understand safety and equipment protection are important, but there's a professional and courteous way to communicate that, this wasn't it. I left feeling very unwelcome my second time around. read more

As a new handgun owner and shooter this was a great experience shooting and buying ammo at the range. The old timer behind the counter was very helpful and dropping knowledge on steel ammo. Sold me a box of federal range ammo, and explained everything I needed to know about the range to get started. The younger guy is energetic and likewise helpful in giving tips about shooting. This is the only game in town as far as a quick and easy handgun range, but I'd shoot and shop here even if it wasn't. read more

Tried to run down to Rangemaster to get a bit of trigger time after work and basically told me stopped letting people shoot at 4pm even though they close at 5. Asked for 30 min got nothing. Same impersonable crap from some of their guys. Just disappointing. Could have just said need to be out by 5 instead... this is why they are not my "neighborhood gun shop". With SLOSA closed, wish they would step it up. read more

Was in the store for about 10 mins, no one welcomed me or even said hello. This store is not geared towards hunters, there was maybe 5-10 hunting rifles on display. Not sure about pricing because their entire ammo case didn't have price tags. read more

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Excellent shooting range. I have been coming here for the last couple of years. Great selection. Will visit often. read more

I'm gonna start off by saying I used to like this store but recently found out they have no understanding of the law. I went in to go get my FSC and they wouldn't give it to me, after I had already taken the test since I wasn't 21. According to their "DOJ agent" I have to be 21 to get an FSC even though on the DOJ website it states I need to be a minimum age of 18. It was embarrassing they call themselves a gun store and don't even understand basic gun laws.

Came to visit family from Vegas, and as an owner of a Cerakote business, I wanted to talk to like minded folk ( so I thought ). So I came to Range Master. There was only 2 customers in there before me. As a retail store owner, you should greet everyone that walks through the door and say "We'll be right with you". I walked around for 10 mins like the invisible man. No one even looked up at me. They have almost no firearms of any kind except for range rentals. 8 of the same 7.62x39 tactical rifles and 2 DD rifles. Why have 8 on display? To make up for the lack of inventory? 3 lever guns, and about 6 shotguns. Prices are astronomical, $1000 for an sig 365 macro. I paid 700 for mine. Most of the store was 5.11 and other apparel so maybe that's their focus. I'm mainly bummed out by the lack of consideration to a potential customer. I don't care who you are, I will talk to anyone that comes in my shop. Do better read more

Good selection of guns and ammo. Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. The gun range is a good place to get some practice in as well!

Great service, knowledgeable and attentive staff! The folks are happy to make a suggestion for you or help you clarify your needs. If they don't have it and think you'd be better suited for something without and unnecessary up sale, they'll be honest and steer you that direction. Plenty of gear, clothes, guns, and ammo! Range is clean and the lanes work most days for the volume of folk combing through. Prices are very reasonable, service is great, staff are good folk! Seamstress does a really nice job in alterations and getting your needs met, so you look sharp! read more

I stopped in range masters in a law enforcement uniform on 12/05/22 to buy a handcuff key. At the counter I was asked if I had a phone number, I said no thank you. I was then told have a good day. The gentleman said his manager told him to get a phone number when a customer buys anything in the store and he said if he didn't get my phone number he will never hear the end of it from his manager. Since I needed another handcuff key I provided my phone number. I will not be doing business with range masters again and I recommend other Law Enforcement Officers don't either. I have never been to a business where you were required to provide a phone number when purchasing an item. read more

Always a fun time here. I believe 9 ranges inside. Lots of stuff to look at and buy inside the store if you need something likes clothes, knifes, guns, etc. Customer service is always super nice and personable. Parking lot is pretty decent size. I have never gone there where the parking lot was just slammed with people. Right across the street is central coast brewing so that is always a nice after trip. read more

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! We came, we saw, and we blew away 6 targets with 150 rounds of 9mm ammo.....they never had a chance in hell.... Since we were "experts" we overlooked that the lines were motorized and pulled the targets in & out by hand...until some genius asked if the motor was broken...duh! Motor? What Motor? ...no wonder my arms were getting tired! We eventually tired our "expert" selves out, and went to pay... ....the damage came out to be about $70 for two people. My fellow shooting friend, who was another good shot, was making a good smiley face on the paper target's brain area! So now, I have a new saying, "Come on make my day and I will trace a smiley face on your brain"! It was a clean well lite small indoor range and a well stocked gun shop. They had a better selection and cheaper prices than I had seen more North. The staff was friendly and professional. They even had some fairly good Target .22 pistols for sale, along with the usual higher caliber stuff. They also had tons of other stuff and some various sized gun safes. I also agree with Emily S's prior review about this place. After our target shooting fun...which was surprisingly tiring, we went for some great spicy Thai food, in Grover Beach, at Thai Dheva (which cost about $75 for 4.5 overstuffed people). FANTASTIC! Maybe they should start some sort of special Target Shooting then Thai food combo package....and call it the SPICY SHOOTING SPECIAL FOR THE REAL MACHO MAN (OR WOMAN)! You heard it here first! read more

Range Master - Nice Target Pistols! - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Been a shooter all my life. CCW HOLDER. I took a one hour hand gun lesson from Andrew. Cost 100.00. He only charged me 40.00. 30 min later I was shooting the best I have ever shot. At a competition I shot second place out of 40 professional shooters. read more

The AHC EMS academy uses them for the uniforms, half the class ripped there pants on week 2. Just bad quality at high prices.

Had a great time the employees were very friendly and helpful! I'll definitely be back

Came here once with a friend of mine had a blast, shooting a Glock 17 at the range had a lot of fun the staff was very pleasant had a great time. Would definitely recommend it to someone else. read more

I've purchased 2 guns now from Range Master. I have also started using the indoor range. Andrew and Ben are super knowledgeable and more than willing to answer any questions I have. Highly recommend. Thanks guys! read more

I have been to Rangemaster twice recently. We were greeted by friendly helpful staff. Yesterday I bought a pink camo rifle case. Awesome and only $59.00. I will keep going back. My partner also uses the range to qualify for his permit. Highly recommended. read more

Range Master - Gun case $59.00 - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Great range, great store, and great staff! They offer an excellent CCW class that will make you a better weapons handler no matter how long you have been shooting. I learned a lot from Ken in the class and from both Ken and Andrew on the range. Defending your life or the lives of your family by carrying a concealed loaded weapon in public is a right in our country. That right also carries enormous personal responsibility. These guys will demonstrate and coach you on proper technique. They will point out any bad habits you may have developed. They will teach the best possible ways to survive if you are ever forced to use your carry weapon. They will help you obtain your CCW Permit, but they will FAIL you if you are reckless, unsafe, or incompetent carrying a concealed weapon. Everyone can appreciate that! Thank you Range Master!

John at Range Master is the best!! I went in thinking my scope was broken and I needed to buy a new one. One hour later and for the price of a box of ammo he took me to their range and had me all set!! So glad I stopped in and can't believe how awesome the service was!! read more

The first time I came here I had a great experience. I needed some patches for work & needed velcro added to them. They were able to get it done while I shopped. The next time I came in to grab a tie bar and talked to a lady about some uniform shirts I was interested in. I gave all of my info and even my credit card and NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK. Today I walked in to use the range for the first time. I approached the counter and didn't really know how it all worked. I asked the lady if I could rent a gun and use the new ammo I brought. She said that I couldn't rent a gun by myself and that they require two people in order to rent a gun. I was very surprised that she had nothing else to say to me and quickly moved onto another customer. I walked out in disbelief. Before I left the parking lot, I called just to verify the policy and to ask if they allow shooting from the holster. When I mentioned that I was law enforcement, the lady said "oh well that's different." But inside I was never told that I could rent a gun if I was law enforcement. Also they don't allow shooting from the holster (which is normal). I'm unsure why they wouldn't explain the policy further to each and every customer as not all law enforcement officers look the same. I won't be back for work stuff or shooting... read more

Recently went into this range master to practice shooting on the lanes. It's been a year or two since I've shot anything, and the guy who was working the counter was so friendly and informative. He never sounded condescending or rude when going over gun safety and rules, and he was very approachable when I had questions. Other than it being pricey to shoot here, my experience was completely positive. I'll definitely go back here if I intend to continue shooting practice. read more

This place is right rock solid. John the owner is is always friendly and knowledgeable. I have had 2 CCW classes with Ken and even though they are long classes he always makes it fun. The range is always well kept and the staff are not a bunch of Karen's. read more

My husband and I have been in the area for a long relaxing weekend. What better way to spend your Saturday than to pack your pistol and head to the shooting range. We had one attempt with the outdoor range, but the rain was a factor. Range Master is a 5 star facility. I have been to many indoor ranges and have experienced pushy sales people.... being forced to buy their ammo even if your bringing your own weapon. This place only requires you to purchase their ammo if you are renting a piece. And they have a huge inventory of pieces, holsters, accessories, clothing, safes.... I could go on and on. They have only 5 lanes, so there could be a waiting list.... shouldn't be that long. Prices were extremely reasonable. read more

See all

Took a high end gun into Rangemaster to sell on consignment. I told John how much I wanted, he set the price. They sold the gun. When I received my money there was an extra $200 taken out. Bottom line I got ripped off. I will never step foot into that store again. Very bad experience. read more

High quality well educated staff. Such a fun and friendly environment to go with friends or family for any occasion.

First things first, DO NOT bring your piece without it in a carrier or bag!! This is one of their rules for entering the building and its a great rule. My husband bought us a 9mm for protection and took my step daughter and I here to learn how to use it properly. Learned how to load it, empty it and fire it. They guys running the place didn't interact too much with us since my hubby was showing us the ropes, but they were really professional and seemed to know their stuff. We had a great time. It was $17 per person per hour and we got that price because we bought two boxes of ammo to use. It cost us $117 for the whole outing and that included a $20 case for our gun. We tried to warn my hubby that he needed to have it in a case and it was nice having one of the guys back us up on this. All in all, it was a great trip and I feel pretty comfortable around our gun now. read more

We went here a couple months ago to rent a gun I was looking into purchasing (wanted to see if I liked the feel of it first). I actually decided to go in a different direction but being able to shoot the guns was extremely helpful in my decision! The staff were very helpful and went above and beyond for my husband and myself while we were there. The range itself is very well kept and they have some awesome things in the storefront. read more

The clerk behind the counter (who I imagine is a newer kid) pointed a handgun at my face MULTIPLE TIMES. I finally had to grab the muzzle and tell him to stop pointing this gun at me. You would really expect that someone who works at a reputable shop wouldn't be pointing a gun in a customers face or anyone's face. I will not be doing business here again. Also the people that work here are VERY judgmental and unkind. Do not bring any newer shooters here they will be scared away from shooting for life. All of the staff are snarky, unkind and judgmental. Go ANYWHERE else. 4 seasons, first defense firearms, and the outdoorsman have 100x better service. read more

Been going there since 2014 love the knowledgeable staff and range is perfect for practice great inventory as well. The safety classes were also awesome read more

Always a good spot to go and shoot in a clean, modern facility. The selection of firearms is solid and the staff is helpful and eager with tips on what might work best for me. The boys greet me by name and are always smiling and helpful. Do yourself a favor and check this place out if you're in the area. Bring your wallet because good business ain't cheap and cheap business ain't good. Seriously though, if you're in the mood to poke holes in paper, go see Kenny and the boys. You'll be glad you did. read more
