Very nice gunrange with very knowledgable personnel, they give very clear instructions and are very friendly. Tried a number of 9mm handguns and saved the .500 cal S&W for dessert, man that thing has a kick! read more

The Range - .500 muzzle flash, bring sunglasses - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Fresno, California

I have been a member of The Range for a long time. I have nothing but good things to say about the people that work there. In reviewing the lower yelp reviews I was socked to see people accusing their employees of being "racist." Many people of color are customers there and some are my friends. I asked some of them if they ever felt any racist overtones from any of the employees. They couldn't believe anyone would accuse anyone there of such things. The reality is there are always going to be people who, for whatever reason, over-personalize the actions of others on an irrational basis. If anyone truly felt marginalized by any of their staff, I would highly recommend that rather than write a negative review, they ask to talk to any of the owners. Happy shooting everyone! read more

Love this place!!!! The employees / both of the owners are really nice as well. Nice gun selection, good range to practice shooting.

Nice place. Very clean and well kept. Tons of guns to shoot if you're renting. Staff is always real nice. My only complaint is the ammo is INSANELY expensive, which is odd because their online store shows one price, but in the store it's double. Something fishy going on there. Still a great place to shoot. Just bring your own ammo. read more

I am a Sworn Deputy Sheriff in the state of California with a valid ID and badge. I asked the employee if I could see their selection of Sig Sauer P320 models and he told me he could not let me see the guns because it does not fall in line with their policy.......just to be clear I fall in line with 830.1 which gives me the ability to perform all the duties of a Peace Officer of the state of California. This place obviously is a little ridiculous with their interpretation of the law. Thanks for your hospitality read more

First time customer... walked-in to browse, walked out having payed for a hand gun. The store is super clean, the staff is super friendly, helpful and no gun snobbery. Bob was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend The Range! read more

Their website says they close at 8pm but when I arrive at 7:06 with my own weapon and ammo I'm told they don't let anyone in after 7. I have both good and bad experiences at this place. The bad is gaining.... read more

The staff was great and Tommy (I believe) was awesome. He gave our young ones some pointers and gun suggestions. Was very helpful from beginning to end! Thanks again guys. read more

Really the best people. Friendly and family oriented. Excellent trainers for CCW. There's one old, country dude who was a little rude and didn't let me know I could test my handgun for free during the 10 days, but they're all good people. Glad to have a place like this in Fresno. read more

LEO's, these guys may not sell you off roster guns. They have a weird way of determining which Peace Officer's they will sell to. I have never had an issue purchasing an off roster gun, except here. I'll spend my money elsewhere. read more

I'm the guy you just hung up on because I asked a question. Worst service ever, don't bother calling, or coming for that matter

The people behind the counter act as if they know everything there is to know about guns and if you don't act like you do to there gunna treat you as if your incapable of shooting /owning a firearm do not recommend customer service horrible read more

Very friendly staff. Helped me through the crazy requirements here in California with my purchase. Had a fun time on the range also benefits of buying from them are you can use your gun for free at the range during your waiting period. (Ammo Extra) read more

I was a member when I lived in the Fresno area. The customer service was good. I took my class for CCW here, as well as the class for renewal. Excellent instruction. read more

I went to this range to complete my firearm safety training and passed the training. I was given a paper certificate. When I called back months later to continue to process of purchasing a firearm I was told they WOULD not look up my certificate. They said they were too busy and they wouldn't take the time to look em up in their books. I asked them why they keep record of a someone who passed the safety test if they had no intention of looking the results up again in the future. I was told they have plenty of customer and are busy everyday and If I didnt like it I could go somewhere else. I was then hung up on. I guess they are so busy and successful they dont need to provide customer service anymore. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Every time we have went to the Range no issues. Nice staff we are going to head their today if that changes I will update the yelp.

Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable they treat everyone with respect and don't act snotty towards beginners. Highly recommended purchasing a firearm from here and shooting here. I had amazing experience and will be back read more

Alfonso was extremely helpful for my first time coming To shoot. The other Caucasian gentleman who first helped us showed no interest. Thanks. Smh. If Alfonso wasn't there There certainly wouldn't be 5 stars I'll tell you that much. He was showing me all the basics. Stance, safety, and all that Jazz. I'll be back! Thanks again Alfonso! Also, thank you for your service in our US Navy! read more

I loved The Range until this whole ammo shortage situation happened. I know you pay a bit more for the range but I feel they used to be able to offer a lot more service to make up for it. As a member in 2012 I felt they did a great job and were a great place to shoot...however after I renewed in 2013 and all things fell apart. I believe that if I buy a gun from you, I am a member there should be no reason why you cannot sell ammo to me to shoot in your facility. But they felt differently. Because of ammo shortages they make members who buy guns from them find scarce ammo elsewhere just to shoot in their facility. It is really irritating to say the least! I will not be renewing membership there next year. read more

Went in looking to buy ammo about 45 mins prior to closing time . An older Asian guy putting the display guns away, looked at me like he doesn't want to help but asked anyway what I needed, then directed me to the area where the ammunitions are. He took a box of home defense rounds and told me how much it was. I asked if they have something cheaper as I plan to use them on the range. This is where it got strange. He said" are you kidding me? Why don't you f#%* off? " I thought he might have heard me say something offensive so I repeated to ask the same question. He blurted out loud so everyone in there could here "this guy is asking if there is something less expensive". So he did hear what I said. I asked if there was something wrong with what I said. He told me to f#% off and leave. Still in disbelief, I wasn't moving. He said he's going to call the police and have me trespassing. He started charging at me, and said "we can also take this outside ". I honestly thought I was in twilight zone and just left. And then I saw a review about a similar incident that happened, with the same description of a man. This guy is obviously not there mentally. I'm just wondering why they would allow him to work in a gun place. Dangerous! read more

Ok let start off by saying that the prices for a firearm are just slightly higher than msrp on most of the ones they have. Still I would consider fair. One thing I give them credit for is they have a type of layaway plan. You put 25% down on the total cost of the gun but have 30 days to pay the remainder at YOUR convenience. You can't take the gun with you until the amount is paid in full for obvious reasons. Not everyone can afford to plop down 500-700 for a quality gun so this helps people who need to purchase one at their own pace. I am a member and have gone when the place was packed but they keep two lanes open for members only so I cut right ahead. People complained of the ammo prices. Yes they are very expensive but the idea at this establishment is to sell firearms, educate people with training or classes, and give people a chance to try a gun out before they make a big purchase. I have also taken my CCW class which was a very helpful one pertaining to CA laws. Also want to note they have a big selection on accessories and firearms. Tuesday nights ladies shoot for free. Update 10/25/17 Took a class recently and I was blown away from the last one I did with them... the service was still excellent. What was different this time was how much more interactive it was. We did a scenario simulator and a quick draw and fire training (air soft guns). It really helped put things into more perspective. I will be taking another class soon. Give them a try. It was very informative and very helpful without feeling ashamed to ask a question or get a few pointers from the instructors read more

Went here on a recommendation. Took a CCW class last Sat. Fantastic instructors and facilities. Incredibly professional and sober about the subject matter and safety requirements, yet friendly and fun when it comes to stories about their experiences and the actual on-range instruction. Ken and Will are wonderful. Update--went back on 1/1/08. Still love this place. I am just getting into shooting and the employees are helpful and respectful about different knowledge levels. I also love it because I have a new hobby and a new skill. read more

It's date night and we are hitting "The Range". No this is not a restaurant with free range cattle meat :) We walked in and we were greeted with a smile and made to feel welcomed. We ended up ordering a Glock 43 for my husband's work. It is a necessary tool for his line of work. We were helped by the establishments sales associate Bob. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. This is our place to go for all my husband's gear. Thanks Bob for all your assistance. read more

Great staff. My wife and I come out to do our update on our handguns for home defense. Very safe shooting environment. Did I say great staff!? Keep up the great work. Major Mike PS Alfonzo, thanks for your help and service. See you all again in 3-4 months. read more

Very happy with customer service that was provided Anthony is awesome along with Bob very informative and very helpful and attentive to their customers totally satisfied thank you guys for giving us a great experience and making us feel at home..forever a customer, very happy!! Bob is great!!! read more

I come to Fresno to visit often and wasn't sure where to go for shooting since I'm from out of town and I found this place passing through and the location piqued my interest being there's a 511 store next door and the CHP across the street so I wanted to check it out and today I did just that. I gave 4 stars because they don't allow .223 or larger it's basically a pistol range so I had to leave my AR in the truck but the lanes are decent they use tape here to hold your targets which I think is smarter than clips and had no problem with it and the ammo for .40 was 25/50 they don't sell reloads here which isn't cost effective for us the consumer but it's better for our pistols. They do have WiFi here however it doesn't work well in the range area... the place is small but straight to the point. Today I was given courtesy and a guest pass what a welcome thanks Hector! See you guys soon! read more

The Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Fresno, California

This was a great place to go shoot, especially for your first time! There was first timers there as well as people who own their own guns and some that are even concealed to carry. The staff was very helpful when helping you picking out the guns to shoot. You're allowed to switch between different guns. They offer classes for individuals and groups that want more one on one help but there is someone in there to help at all times. It is one guy who volunteers to help anyone while shooting, sometimes there's a lot of people wanting his attention so kudos to this guy and his patience! He was very helpful. So much fun! I'd love to make going here a weekly thing (: read more

The Range - first time here for girls night - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Fresno, California

Best place around to Practice Practice Practice. Best customer service I've ever received. These guys don't make you feel stupid about guns like other gun stores do. Buy your gun here! See Gabe read more

Just became a member recently and I've been her twice already. Tried out about 6 guns so far. Buying my first gun soon and I might even get it from this place, because I looked all over town and their gun prices aren't that high. Definitely going to stay a member for a long time. Workers there are definitely helpful. Fast services even when there's a lot of people. When you rent a gun you have to use the bullets they give you (meaning you're paying for it) so it'll be like $28 for 50 bullets etc. That's one of the reason I am going to buy a gun and buy cheaper bullets. I understand why they do this tho, because they don't want other people bullets to be jamming their guns etc. could cause problem for both party etc. Overall, a great place for anyone that's looking for a gun range. read more

The range is a great place to shoot. It is indoor only range. They have a great selection of firearms to rent if you want to try a new gun out before you buy it. I like it so much that I bought a membership there. read more

I shot my first gun here, I had a blast, for begining shooters, you guts should try the Ruger mark iii, .22 caliber it's so fun and easy to use, try it! read more

This is the worst range I have ever had an experience with...I`m an instructor of personal defense and firearms. I`ve had relationships with ranges all over the country...and this is the worst I`ve ever seen. The general attitude flows directly from the ownership...and yes I have met and had discussions with the owner. The attitude is they are not interested in the support & development of our shooting sports...Money is the only driving factor...when questions are asked or help is needed the answer is always "you need another class"...and another and another...This place is the only range in Fresno, so the owner believes he has a monopoly on all the shooters in the area. Independent instructors in the area will (from my un-scientific survey...) will not use this range, partially because they are not even remotely welcome and the staff is overtly hostile if it is discovered they are instructors. The fact that they bring business into the business is not appreciated so it has been made clear if they can`t have a piece of the instructors business on a larger scale, they don`t want them...even if the instructorw students are buying ammo, renting range time, renting & buying guns...I suggest you find an alternative...it may seem handy but know you are paying a price that may not always be visible. Take a little extra time and run over to Clovis...excellent range just a few extra min. away... read more

They have a really good selection of guns to buy and shoot as well as a great staff that know what they are talking about and are willing to help answer all of your questions and find the right gun for you read more

Went in with my father to try out some hand guns (first time for the both of us) we immediately got a "hello! How are you? Have you been helped?" We told the gentleman that we were just browsing at the moment but eventually want to get into trying out a .38. When we walked up to the rental desk we got to ask all our questions about home defense pistols. Super patient with us and well in formed. Made my dad and I feel welcomed! We will definitely be going back :) read more

The Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Fresno, California

I've been a member for a couple of years, i ordered a gun from gun gallery to be sent there and all the staff are excellent except this new guy that they have of the two staff helped that helped me, their was one that i asked about the tracking from fedex said i have 2 boxes so i asked what the other package was it might be in my mind but he really didn't like that question . i had a look at my gun someone was messing with it because the plastic piece in the barrel chamber was taken out and the inside of case was messy but their was no stickers on it at the time also i had to get my id license with a federal compliant seal on it no big deal. i did it and came back for the paper work 2 weeks later and when he took out my gun it had stickers all over the wood stock and i tried to take it off and the whole grip was stuck with sticky paper i could'nt get off of it the other salesmen that did my paper work he's good but he said "what you don't like stickers on it". i shook my head. i ordered alot of guns and gun gallery is great. so is the range staff but i wish they wouldnt put warning stickers on my beautiful wood stock i'm mad about that. also the ventilation sucks. read more
