I'm still pretty new when it comes to guns. I bought a revolver a couple years ago with every intention 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. read more

The Gun Range - Target practice! - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - North Highlands, California

I went here this week to do a PPT (private party transfer) trading one of my pistols for one a friend had. This shop was fantastic, they made it super customer-friendly, simple and easy. 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!! read more

The Gun Range has been a primary spot since relocating recently in the Sac area for my purchases and shooting range (though there are a couple of other gun stores I've visited). The staff are very knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. Very organized inside and there's plenty of parking. I had to take my FSC test recently to renew my certificate which cost $25 plus $1.50 laminate. Then went on to make a purchase. They have decent, reasonable prices on firearms and ammo. Shooting range is decent as well, typically no wait. They allow you to bring and use your own firearm. They offer rentals as well but not if you are by yourself, you'd have to bring your own firearm if you are solo. I'll be returning again. read more

Excellent service, and excellent selection. The CCW program is straight forward and very well put together. the range is nice and is safe while being not too restrictive. I miss those tables in the range but otherwise solid place to practice and get better. Always bringing my friends/families to the Gun range read more

The Gun Range - A photo from 2013 of my first time here - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - North Highlands, California

Yelp reviews were spot on with this indoor range. I've been to a pretty decent amount of gun ranges, both indoor and outdoor. Things I look for in a range - safety first and foremost, how they treat first time shooters, how they treat experienced shooters, organization with check-in process (waivers, payment, etc.), how many lanes are available, and other customers' behaviors at the lanes themselves. From my experience, that last point tells me a lot about the range - if you feel safe and comfortable with the shooter next to you, it's a very responsible business with accountable staff. That's precisely how I felt at The Gun Range and why I can now call it home sweet home for all my firearm needs! No reservations. This spot is first come, first serve. Fill out waivers online to make things smoother. Weekend mornings and evenings get busy (typical for most ranges I've been to), so I went on a Friday night and my stepson and I each had our own lane in no time! There are 2 sets of lanes - one for 12 yds and another for 24 yds. I'm not used to a place without reservations needed so was a bit concerned about landing a couple of lanes, to be honest, but it was seamless! Check-in process was smooth and stress free. Owning and having all of your own necessary items certainly makes things much easier for any gun range! Confirmed that waivers were signed and online forms completed, staff walked over to check firearms were as stated on their website (unloaded, racked back, and no magazines inserted), and eye and ear protections were confirmed as well. For CCW holders, in case you want to practice drawing and firing from your holsters, just show them your CCW license so you can practice your drawing methods. Practice makes perfect! Don't have ammo? Don't own your own guns? Don't have rifles or other fantastic guns? Forgot to bring targets? No worries! The Gun Range has you covered (for a small fee, of course). I prefer Reload 9 mm FMJ ammo since they're the most affordable - they have it! You can purchase ammo to use at the range. If you want to purchase plenty of ammo to take home, they'll have to run a background check (approx 30 min). Their prices are very competitive so if you want ammo at a very fair price, look no further! They have targets to purchase ($2.50 per big target, I think?), eye and ammo protection to rent, and all sorts of fun firearms available to rent for in-range shooting. Plan to come often? Save a buck - purchase bundles of targets from Amazon and feel free to use them at the range. Pay at the end, not up front. I truly appreciate that so if you need extra targets, ammo, or want to try other firearms, the process is simple with minimal interruptions. First time shooters? They have a 3-strike rule for breaking safety measures. Here's some advice - don't let there be a first. Do your due diligence, obtain gun safety knowledge before stepping foot on any range, and read every little detail on their website to ensure you and everyone around stay safe at all times. Staff is super friendly and you can tell right away that each and every one of them know what they're doing. You pay per person - that's it! Not per hour, not per lane. What does that mean? Unlimited time for the same price, shoot from opening until closing if you wanted to - incredible! (If you can afford the ammo and have that much energy, that is.) My stepson and I ended up shooting for 2 hours in each of our own lanes... goodness gracious, we were having such a good time and would've kept going if we had unlimited ammo! They have a tremendous firearm selection and ample parking on their own lot. Service was fantastic, place is clean and well kept, location was easy to find, plenty of lanes for short and long range, safe and not overwhelming, and staff is friendly yet still attentive to keep new customers and regulars returning for an excellent experience. Highly recommended indoor shooting range for both first time and experienced shooters! I'm sold. We had an absolutely great time. I'll definitely be returning and plan to be a regular at The Gun Range! read more

The Gun Range - Front entrance - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - North Highlands, California

I bought a few firearms from here and everyone was really friendly, approachable, and willing to answer any questions you have about a firearm. They provide a quick and seamless process with all the paperwork, and everyone walks you through the DROS to ensure everything is filed correctly. This would be a perfect place for a first time gun owner to purchase a firearm, because the staff is able to create such a relaxed and welcoming environment. Special thanks to Aric, Patrick, Christian, and Craighton! Gunsmithing is also available with a quick turnaround time. I forgot the name of their in-house gunsmith, but he was able to help me out on the spot! read more

I am very disappointed with my experience at The Gun Range. While my commemorative Ruger American II rifle was being stored by them awaiting DROS clearance, as required by California law, the rifle sustained damage and both the magazine and the tool kit were removed while in their custody. The firearm was in The Gun Range's sole possession for the entire DROS period. I did not have access to it, nor did anyone else. Despite this, when I raised the issue, The Gun Range denied responsibility for the damage, offering no reasonable explanation for how it occurred while exclusively under their control. This rifle has both monetary and sentimental value, and I entrusted it to The Gun Range with the expectation of professional handling and secure storage. Their refusal to acknowledge or take responsibility for damage that clearly occurred while the firearm was in their care reflects poorly on their customer service and accountability. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend The Gun Range to customers who value proper firearm handling and responsible business practices. read more

The Gun Range has been my go-to spot for shooting in North-Sacramento for over a decade. Finding out about The Gun Range was a happy little accident, when I went to a shooting Range in Elk Grove about 10+ years ago with my some friends. And was told by one of the reps that they didn't allow any rifles larger than a .22, and slow single-fire shootings was required. Being in the parking lot of this other establishment with a group of friends, a quick online search led me to The Gun Range in North Highlands. The Gun Range allows you to bring your own firearms, which is great, especially for those who have their own. Plus they have an assortment of handguns and long guns to rent, as well as various calibers of ammo and targets. Basically all of the equipment you would need, if you didn't bring those things yourself, or possibly run out and need more. Getting in is also extremely fast and efficient, with their forms now being all electronic and sent directly to their system as you wait in line. Check-in was really fast for us since we brought out own, firearms, ammo, eye & hearing protection, and paper targets. But we later did purchase a Glock magazine speed reloaded, and a pair of disposable ear plugs. Range use was also only $26/a person which is very reasonable. The range area itself is a nice 25 yd setup, comprised of 3 rooms with about 5 lanes in each room. The targets systems have been updated since I was last here, and are on a system. That quickly and conveniently allows users to send out and return targets, with a series and buttons. The guy who checked us in also explained it really well. The staff are also extremely helpful on anf off the range. We had an issue at the very beginning with one of my long guns, so very employees came to check it out but couldn't figure it out as we all talked it through. So they go another staff member who eventually could. One of the guys who originally tried helping, later asked if I was able to get everything squared away, to which I said yes, and also thanked him for his help as well. Overall: Great indoor range, that I have frequented for over a decade. Friendly and extremely helpful staff, very reasonable pricing for lane rentals. Will be going back in the near future. read more

This was my 1st experience at The Gun Range and I left knowing this will be the regular spot for me to go for some practice and a good time! I recently took my sister here so I could teach her some basic gun safety and shoot some pistols for the 1st time. The day before I called in for general questions regarding target shooting and 1st time shooters and was greeted with a helpful friendly person. I came in on a Friday afternoon and I was immediately helped when I entered. The staff working behind the counter helped with all questions my sister had, assisted her with finding the pistol to shoot and they showed her all the basics of the specific pistol she rented. After wrapping up with the front counter staff, we entered the range area and was greeted by the range master who helped us get setup with our 1st target. The overall experience was great. I felt like I was in a safe space and my sister really enjoyed her time. Between rentals, purchasing bullets and our lane, between the 2 of us it was $98 which I thought was a fair value. I look forward to returning and seeing what else The Gun Range has to offer! read more

I'm taking my CCW class here & sitting in the lobby. I hear how the employees talk to the people & I must say their customer service is top tier. I heard people say some ridiculous things about guns & not one time did staff make them feel stupid. Sam our CCW instructor is extremely knowledgeable about laws & guns. Even a lot of us were traveling with guns illegally without knowing it. I'm glad I've taken the class & look forward to part 2 of it tomorrow. read more

Best gun range I have been to. Service is top notch. I recently had my Glock 17 stippled there and am very happy with the outcome. The artist who did the stippling kept me updated and just did a fantastic job. The range is great. The people who work the counters are friendly. A+ I came from the bay area and used to frequent reeds in Santa Clara. The gun range in Sacramento is just so much better. read more

The Gun Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - North Highlands, California

Love love this place. Came twice and honestly need to come more often to become more relaxed around guns and properly handle firearms. The value seems to be a god bang for the buck especially if you bring your own firearm, ear protection. Both times my friends had their own firearms, and ear protection so the only out of pocket costs were for bullets, the lane, and the target which all together was about $50 if I'm not mistaken. That seemed like a good deal but equally I don't have a range to compare it to (pun intended) Another great option is you can rent different firearms. Overall it's a great location to practice aim and familiarize yourself with firearm safety. read more

Got a couple new guns and was itching to shoot them- SA Hellcat Pro with a holoson green dot and a custom aero precision PCC 9mm that a good friend F.S. Built. Was getting late and the local ranges were all closing soon but I found this gun range on yelp that closes at 9pm! We quickly loaded up,l and filled out the required questionaire on my phone on the 45 min drive to North Highlands from Stockton. First Impressions - very well stocked and staffed gun store. Plenty of knowledgeable and friendly staff. Alex helped us and he was super friendly and knowledgeable. He got us up and running and we hit the range quickly. There were 4 of us so we got 2 stalls. The range is more than adequate with electronic controls for your targets that go out to 26 yards. It's been hot - 100+ and although there is AC in the store, the range doesn't get much. But you're shooting- who cares and if you have to go to battle in the harsh summer weather of Sac/Stockton - you'll be better prepared - training opportunity. We brought our own ammo, eyes and ears so we just paid for targets, range fees and some 3A batteries for one of our ears that was dead - NOTE keep extra batteries in your range bag. I usually do but we ran out the door and traveled light. Good to remove the batteries between shoots. Got some ammo down range and zerod in both weapons. Stall controls took a second to figure out but super easy when you do. We got there around 7:15 and shot until 8:45. Store is awesome, range is nice. Staff Was excellent. Even left them a tip. Don't know when I'll be back up that way but this is an excellent range. Head over there and get some bullets down range! read more

The Gun Range - Wife's grouping - she's getting better. - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - North Highlands, California

I took the CCW Renewal Course here with Sam Yohannes in 1/26. I had trained with two previous instructors, neither of whom I was all that impressed by. Sam was a no nonsense, efficient instructor who stressed the important aspects of carrying and shooting (safety, safety, safety). He is also humble, which is extremely important to me. I will definitely come back for future renewal courses. read more

It's a pleasure coming to this range as opposed to the indoor range in Placerville and outdoor ranges, these guys don't hassle you about rapid fire or constantly look over your shoulder while you're shooting. They also have a Veteran's discount if you ask for it at checkout, you just need to show ID such as VA card. The range fee is also reasonable. Thank you guys at The Gun Range, I'll be back! read more

Safe, great staff, quality time. Went with my friend and I enjoyed my experience here. Not too pricey either. Will be coming again!

Like all my visits no research ,enjoyed the entire visit process range staff nothing but positivity and five stars

I've really been debating leaving a review on this place for a while. Honestly the staff is fine zero problems with them but this place is DANGEROUS. Got flagged 2x by some 15 year old kid holding an AR in the booth next to me cuz dad wasn't watching him. (I'm assuming dad didn't know anything about firearms either). It's just too crowded all the time and too many people there that have zero sense of firearm safety renting firearms. The range masters need to keep a closer eye on things going on. Indoor ranges like this just make me nervous now. read more

Very nice range with great staff, nice selection of rentals and a reasonable price! They also offer a range of purchase options in the weapons are and as well as equipment, targets and ammo of course. Thanks guys! read more

Paying for one lane and unlimited range time is the best bang for your buck. The range ammo is very reasonably priced and probably the cheapest I've seen compared to other ranges. I'm going to be a regular now because of the prices for ammo, lane rental, and gear is hard to beat. Another plus is the customer service and they have clean restrooms. Lanes are priced at $25 or $22 with veterans discount. They have a couple of chairs and couches in the main lounge area. read more

Everyone who works here is super nice and helpful, went for the 1st time with my sibling and rented a few guns and it was an awesome time.

Took my daughters after the new year on a Saturday, glad we made the drive from the East Bay. It was crowded just after lunch with a variety of people wanting to shoot guns. Lots of staff helping direct what to do and expect while we waited. Took 35 mins before our number was called. **Tip: While you are waiting, ask the counter about the guns that are available. It helps to pass the time and you get more time to decide what guns and ammo to try out. We rented two guns at a time and were able to swap them out as many times to try out the other guns. Best experience, value, and education about guns! Glad they had brooms so we could sweep the shells out of our stall. read more

The Gun Range - AR15 was my favorite! - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - North Highlands, California

I went there excited to use the lever action rifle. They do have a great selection there of guns you can use. If they let you. Everything was fine and I was going to get a spot until I asked how to reload the lever action. The older gentleman who worked there asked if I used it before and I replied no, it was my first time using a lever action. I was then told I could not shoot without experience. I then asked to use a different rifle, but was then told I could not because we didn't have experience at their location. It made zero sense because I have been to ranges before and it has never been an issue. They just show me how to reload each gun. The staff nearby stared at us until my friend and I just left. We are two adult Asian well into our mid 20s, but maybe they thought we were too young and inexperience. Who knows. We ended up going to The Laguna Shooting Center where they did let us shoot. read more
