    Outstanding range. By far the cleanest and most technologically advanced that I've been to. The electronic targets have all kinds of scenarios and programs you can run. For example charging attackers, various training qualifications, reload drills, shoot/no shoot..it is a lot of fun. No other range I've been to has moving targets (well except shotgun). The rental counter has a TON of options and is free for members. Each time I go they have more guns. Including off roster.

    Came for their Grand Opening . It was busy. There were a few vendors, some giveaways, a food truck, & music. This location use to be the Gun Room before they permanently closed. Love what they've done here. Very spacious! There are 12 lanes & 8 additional. They plan to offer classes & different programs. They have guns for rent. Plenty of parking. Friendly & knowledgeable staff. They still have their other location off Fruitridge. Definitely come check this location out.

    Yay - this newly renovated gun range is perfect all around! The new owners have done a great job!! I came here over 10 years ago and glad this location is back open. Tonight we were honored and privileged to join a friends and family soft opening- they have their grand opening event tomorrow- we were able to get a lane and shot my new 45! Safe, friendly and knowledgeable staff!! Safety is key here and I appreciate that!! They also have a huge selection of gins for rent, purchase, ammo, and anything else you may need! Had a blast! We will be back for sure!!

    I'm still pretty new when it comes to guns. I bought a revolver a couple years ago with every…read moreintention of using it... and then I put it in my gun safe where it basically became a very expensive paperweight for two years. I finally decided it was time to stop being nervous and actually go to the range. After reading the reviews, I decided to check this place out, and I'm really glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. I told them it was my first time at the range, and they took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and help me get set up. That made a huge difference because walking into a range as a newbie can feel a little intimidating. Once I got to my lane, I was only there for about 30 minutes, but I enjoyed every minute of it. My confidence definitely grew, and I left feeling way more comfortable than when I walked in. Overall, great first experience. Friendly staff, helpful guidance, and a welcoming environment for beginners. I'm looking forward to coming back for more practice -- and this time, I promise I won't wait another two years.

We all know, purchases / transfers in California are difficult and wrought with bureaucracy & nonsense. This shop, makes it simple and easy for you to get it done. In addition, they have a very nice indoor range with a VERY wide multitude of rental firearms. Aside from the good customer service & cool indoor range, they had an incredibly wide variety of stock for sale. I noticed they had VERY fair prices, like some firearms were easily $100-125 less a piece than the FUDD gun shops here in (510) Alameda County. I would say the top highlight of this gun shop was the lack of FUDD. I experienced & saw / heard zero FUDD nonsense. Just straight up good, solid, friendly customer service & plenty of great products to choose from. It's also noteworthy that they had a really good inventory of ammo for reasonable pricing. I'll definitely be spending some more money here. Keep it up guys!!

    Came out to Sacramento Valley Shooting for the first time with my girlfriend, who has a membership…read morehere. Together we've been to an indoor range in North Highlands that ai frequent, and the Mather shooting range before it closed. We came out here on a Sunday after so she could test out her new pistol, and so we could my rifles on the rifle side of the range. We checked in the main shop area, and picked up a speed loader and extra disposable ear plugs. And then eventually went out to the pistol range first. Both the pistol and long gun range alike, have a large number of shooting bags each. And each have a good range distance for shooting, wapwxially the rifle range. Definitely will be coming back for more outdoor shooting, and look forward to some long range shooting as well.

    Let me tell you all the cons first and then go over all the pros of this place…read more First the name is extremely misleading because it's no where close to Sacramento. However it's really the only con I can muster because everything else is amazing. This is a beautiful and large shooting range located far for people from the Bay Area. However if you happen to be near the area (I was at the Elk Grove Sportsman's which is about 45 minutes away), I would HIGHLY recommend you to come here. Everything about this place is laid back which is great for most experienced range goers (if you've been to other ranges so you know the rules). There is no one to breath over your shoulder or even fuss with yorlur firearms. They treat you as an adult which I just love. However it's probably not a good place for first timers because they expect you to know how to handle firearms safely and properly. The cost is very reasonable ($25 currently) and they give you a free target which you staple to a wooden stand that you carry to the distance you'd like. I also love the fact it's open on Monday and Tuesday which is not the case for many outdoor ranges in the Bay Area. It's not crowded and the range master is on a speaker from a central "traffic control box" and he'll do the 2 minute warning and 15 minutes shooting announcements. Overall, it's an amazing place for shooting. Honestly if it were closer (it's almost 3 hours drive for me), I'd be making this range my primary range and pay for the membership for cheaper range fees.

    It's an aright outdoor only range. $15 for non member is a good price with no time limit…read more Sign in at the office and pay fee. $1 extra for using cards. Bring cash. I came with a group of 6 and it was busy on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, the targets aren't lined up well at the 25 yard lane. All of the 50 yard lanes were occupied. We tried the 100 yard lane but it's kind of difficult cause they have a huge wood partition covering. Plenty of parking Service was nice from the lady at the counter.

    decent shooting range. you need gps to find it. so many county roads out in the country to get…read morethere. my first time shooting there even though i've shot at other shooting ranges. check in at the office, pay the $15 if you're a non member, grab your target attached to cardboard backing and head to the shooting lanes. there are 3 shooting lane sections that are separated. 7 yards (8 lanes), 15 yards (2 lanes) and 25 (12 lanes) yards in one section, 50 yards (13 lanes) in the other section, 100 yards (11 lanes) in the other section. for some reason the 50 and 100 yard lanes has a partition or wall beyond the shooting benches. you have get the roving rangemasters attention to have them call a cease fire only in the section you're shooting in in order to post, patch or remove targets. after you finished shooting put the cardboard backing in the holders attached to the fence. range rules apply there. wear eye and ear protection, no rapid fire, keep muzzle pointed down range, use zip tie chamber flag in the chamber during cease fire, stand behind the yellow line. pros: don't need to clean up the brass or casings after shooting. wasn't busy on a weekday. cons: unmarked lanes and target post needs numbering or else you might ending up posting in the next shooters lane. no range spotting scope provided. if you're zeroing a rifle you need to bring your own spotting scope or use the scope on your rifle. range provided targets are 12"x12". if you're zeroing a rifle for the first time even more difficult with a small target at longer distance. rifle range benches are mostly for right handed shooters. if you're a left handed rifle shooter than you would have to look for a ambidextrous bench to shoot from.
