Very nice gun range and due to covid every other lane is closed for social distance. Friendly staff clean and professional I have always had a good experience. The gun sale side also has knowledgeable staff. read more

As a new gun owner, I was overwhelmed with how the process went. I have worked with three different team members and had awesome results. I was never treated with disrespect, made to feel stupid or anything of the like. The team educated me, sold me weapons, and taught me a lot. I would recommend this gun shop. So what if you have to wait in line. Go in with a purpose, be respectful to the staff and they will do the same. I plan to buy more from Barnwood! Support small business if you can. read more

My first time going on my own and tried their indoor range. The person on the front desk is very accommodating and friendly. Had a great experience, I will comeback for sure. read more

Good prices, fair selection, however would not accept CDCR State of California 10 day waiver. Need to update their policy.

I live in Ripon first off. Secondly my wife and I were in the market to purchase a Handgun so I walked in one day just to see the type of guns they had I had my own preference of guns my wife didn't want a revolver she wanted a Semi auto handgun told the guy that the 70+ guy shows me revolvers. Uhhhhh I said no revolvers he literally rolled his eyes. Bruh clean your ears or replace the battery on your hearing aid I like the range but the prices are waaaaay to high I like to support local businesses but I'm not trying to get ripped off either. read more

Did a ppt here and the guy that helped was very patient and helpful. I pulled a rookie move and left my utility bill at home but the associate offered multiple ways he can do it. Overall I knew I was a bit of a pain but he was professional and helpful the whole way. Based on customer service I would definitely come back. They have a range and a bunch of firearms. I'm originally from Stockton and never heard of this place until I purchased a used firearm from a cal gunner. I usually go up north to shoot or get ammo and shop but will definitely come by here now. read more

Great people and great place. They are always so helpful whether in the gun shop or the range.

Had a great shooting experience at Barwood Arms. Kylie ( I hope that's how you spell her name ) was very nice, knowledgeable, and had Great custoner service! Thank you! read more

Great service, this is the premiere gun shop in the area, very friendly staff, great service, nice selection of firearms. Ed is the guy to ask for always very helpful and willing to research any thing you need. Price is a little on the high end but price isn't always the best deal. read more

Barnwood Arms - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Ripon, California

If you're going to speak poorly about customers, maybe hang up the phone first. My husband called to reserve a spot on the range. A woman answers and the following conversation happens: (W) "Barnwood Arms" (H) "Yes, I'd like to reserve some range time around 6." (W) "Well are you a member?" (H) "No, I am not a member." (W)"Oh you have to be a member to reserve a spot." (H) "Ok, I did not know that. Is there a long wait today?" (W) "If you're a member you can reserve a spot." (H) "Yes, I understand that. I will consider it. What I was asking was if there was a long wait for non members." (W) (Long pause) "Nnnnooo, there isn't." (H) "Ok, thank you" She then proceeds to "hang up" and my husband lets the call kick off speaker since he was driving. Only, it didn't. She did not hang up correctly, and proceeded to bad mouth my husband to a coworker. I couldn't believe what I heard. (Woman to coworker) "Some people are so stupid, like I told him he could reserve a spot as a member and he kept asking how busy we were? Why waste my time over the phone asking stupid questions if you aren't going to do anything. So annoying!" Is this your best quality employee, Barnwood? I realize individuals with extensive firearms knowledge are difficult to find but a little tact would have been nice. We most likely won't be spending anymore money there. read more

I only rated this place with 1 star because I had too. We were racial profiled at the door. We went today to look around and buy a gun. We were greeted at a locked door and asked what we needed. We let the girl by the name of Anaika at the door know we were there to purchase a firearm and was then asked "what kind of gun?" Our reply was were not sure we'd like to see what the selection she then told us she was not allowed to come in in total disbelief my hisband and I walked away. We sat in the car right at the door for about 10 minutes to see if others were turned around and not 1 caucasin customer was turned around and in fact they all walked right in. I'm glad I didn't spend my dollar at such a disgusting business and wouldn't recommend anyone go here. It was a horrible first experience. Great job Anaika your the real mvp. Racism is very much still alive! read more

Best gun-shooting experience ever. EVER!!! Okay, so it was my first. But it was an AMAZING first! On a random Friday afternoon, my friend and I decided that we were in DIRE NEED for a destressor. We had just compared our bucket lists, and shooting a gun was on both lists. After spending some time on the interwebs, we decided on Barnwood Arms, and thank goodness we did! We drove down from Stockton into downtown Ripon and parked right in front. As we walked in, we were greeted with stuffed heads of various animals and guns galore! I was super super excited up until the moment we got up to the counter, then I was terrified. DAMN, I was actually gonna do this. Everyone working there was really friendly, and the younger guy helping us pretty much held our hands through the whole process. From selecting our guns to how to actually work the thing, he was great. He gave us all the equipment we needed, showed us how to aim and shoot, and fixed my Glock everytime it jammed (which was frickin every time). I decided to share the Beretta with my friend, and WE WENT CRAZY. We quickly went through the 50 rounds we bought, with lots of giggles and grunting as we struggled to load the magazine and killed our paper enemies. Overall, it was the perfect Friday afternoon activity. We got out all our stress and made great memories! Definitely going to go back, probably after finals ;] read more

I wish I could give this place a better review. The staff has always been helpful and polite, the selection and products offered are what you expect in a small town gun store. However, I can't recommend the range after experiencing ricochet and splatter. I unfortunately caused a minor injury to a shooter in the next lane and narrowly missed a bullet coming back at myself before I stopped shooting mid magazine and left. So if you are wondering why half the range lights are shot out and why there are so many marks on the walls and floor/ceiling it is because the traps send rounds back at you. Also note the lack of supervision on the range. I've found myself making a safety correction on less experienced shooters more often than not. Sure, everyone is a safety officer on any range, but it would be nice to have the staff keep an eye out too. read more

I thought buying a gun with a store locally versus just buying from the manufacturer would both support the local economy and give me a better buying experience. Not the case, the KID that "helped" me had the personality of a wet nap and did not approve of my purchase and he ran the gun down and belittled the whole thing. So very sad. I will NOT be buying from them again and anybody that asks I will tell them steer clear. Sad.. makes you wonder how they stay in business when the have zero customer service. read more

The shooting range is located in the heart of downtown ripton! Location: 5/5 As I'm from out of town, it was my first time at downtown ripton or ripton for that matter. Downtown ripton is so cute, it looked very vintage and like a little town you'd seen from the movies. The external of the shooting range looked almost too fancy to be a shooting range. There's plenty of parking on the side of the place. Service: 5/5 Amazing service! It wasn't my first time shooting but I brought two friends that had never used a gun before. And boy, was I surprised on the lady that helped us (I'm sorry, I didn't get your name). She was very patient and made sure that everyone in my party knew how to use a gun before going in. She was very knowledgable in the types of guns they had. I'm a very tiny person and the slightest recoil would shift my entire body, so the gun she recommended for me was perfect. Price: 5/5 I went to a shooting range in LA before and I remember paying $50 per person. But here, they have a deal that's $49 which includes two gun rental, $4 worth of targets, eye goggles, noise cancelling headphones, and 50 bullets, which is enough to split between two people. My friends were extremely nervous going in, but came out smiling! We all had a blast for both first timers and non- first timers. I would recommend this place and will definitely like to come back again. read more

Great place, semi friendly staff, would definitely come back $62 for 2 gun rentals, 2 ppl, 1 box of amo, safety glasses, ear protection read more

I was recommended Barnwood Arms after I realized I was shooting a C-note of ammo a week with my Beretta, and needed a little .22 to get more practice and save money. I've never shot in an indoor range, but Larry was quite helpful and let me try out both .22's I was interested in test driving. I fell in love with one model and wanted to buy it, but Larry showed me all the options that model has and I got overwhelmed. He was patient and gave me his card, along with a catalog that I could go home and research. I've now picked out what I want, know a LOT more about the .22 and will be returning to make a purchase shortly! Even with the 90 minute drive out there, it's WORTH IT! read more

Drove 50 miles to find out the range was closed due to shut down covid 19 orders, please update the website to show this. Just wasted 2 hours of driving. Thanks!!! read more

Ok, my home was invaded. My wife unfinished with fire arms had no self defense as they tried to hide in closet. She was so scared holding my 8th month old baby in her arms hoping not to die. I was at work cause it was 1:30 in the day. very very scared of guns my wife 2 entry to barnwood. they took alot of patience, understanding, professionals to get her to fire her first shot. Now with the help of Wylie, Heaher and Kevin she has a ccw and packs a really nice 357. magnum. Barnwood arms made it where she can sleep at night and I hope for their sake.. no one enters my house again because she don't hide in closets anymore. best customer service I HAVE EVEN HAD IN MY LIFE! from the bottom of my heart thank you Wylie, Heather and Kevin god bless you. You gave us our life back. read more

Had my sights installed here. Front sight was slightly bent and the rear sight wasn't even aligned in the center. Had cleaned my gun before I took it into the shop. When I picked it up a week later it appears someone had been firing it. Will not be returning read more

They close early...8pm The lady that worked the front counter to get a lane was not very friendly and very short. I do love the decor though, tons of stuffed animals (not sure if they are real). The store also offers a variety of gun safes as well. Kind of pricey, but that is probably because that is the only gun range in the area. read more

Extremely helpful, after my barrel jam bed and I was not able to break down my shot gun I brought it in ready for what ever may come from the gunsmith. Boy was I pleasantly surprised, I came in to pick it up and the barrel was separate from the stock and everything was right with the world. When I asked how much I owed for the work they said nothing and sent me on my way. That was a breath of fresh air and this day and age not something you get much. Everytime I go in everyone is helpful and very patient considering I am usually window shopping. Great small town feel and service. read more

I recently got a membership for the gun range here, my second time for the gun range was very busy which is fine but to let ppl that come in after me go ahead of me wasn't cool. Maybe I need to be like the guy that was acting like an asshole with his kids to not wait as long. Then when another lane finally open up, the guy's kids was shooting on my lane already smh. But that's the only bad experience i had so i still give Barnwood Arms a 3 stars. read more

Barnwood Arms - Grouping needs work - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Ripon, California

See all

Great rifle and gun shop....recently bought a S&W .38 Bodyguard for my wife. Service was great, very personable and knowledgeable staff. Tony and Larry assisted me with my recent transaction and it went smoothly all the way through! Definitely a place where I felt my concerns were addressed and needs met. Two thumbs up for Barnwood Arms! read more

I came here to try out a gun for possible purchase and to check out the range. As far as selection goes, it is a little better than most. They have new and used guns. They have rifles and shotguns. The staff is extremely knowledgeable. What I like most about them is that they DO NOT hold biases against gun brands. I've been to places where they talked down on a gun that I was looking to buy. Its not smart to be negative on something a customer wants to spend money on. They instead were pretty helpful. The range is pretty clean, but small. Their prices weren't bad at all. The bill was 45 dollars for a lane with targets, a gun rental, a box of ammo, eyes and ear protection for my wife and I. Plus I brought my own gun and went through a couple boxes of my own ammo. I like the place and would recommend it. Also the steakhouse across the way is a great place to go afterwards. read more

Nice big gun shop/range in a small town setting. Came here to do a ppt from a calgunner. The folks here are very helpful and efficient and really nice. They don't hesitate to show you any of the firearms even knowing you aren't buying. From what I saw they have a nice selection of firearms and a big selection of safes. My main point in writing this review... I was very pleased with the level of service I got from these guys! Good jobs guys, thanks! read more

Pistol range only, place is nice. Prices are high but the staff is friendly. I have used the range a few times, they have rentals too in case you do not have your own. Range prices are not that bad, keep in mind they require two people in order to come shoot. You can not shot by yourself read more

Came here on a Groupon deal and glad I did! Be aware: 2 people must enter the gun range together per lane. The location is in a small town of Ripon. Nearby are bars and restaurants. The range is great. You can rent different guns and shoot till your hearts content. I had a blast. The staff is friendly, will show you different guns, and educate you as well. Not sure about the prices because I don't buy often. I shot 2 different 9mm and the ammo, goggles, ear muffs, and entry fee was included. I would definitely recommend this spot. read more

Great shop if you are shopping a firearm or safe. They have their standard brand names with some high-end items. Service is good when they are not busy. Knowledgeable & helpful clerks and friendly owner. Willing to find or order items they don't have in stock. Not to mention, great shooting range. Small, limited lanes, but the best indoor range in the area. Seem to have respectful and experience customers which makes the range feel safer. I've taken first time shooters here and had a great experience. Check it out for yourself. read more

Spent $2000.00 for an AR with them. About $300 $400 more that it's worth for the brand & accessories. Went back to ask some questions on service and they treat me like I have the plague. If I didn't have a receipt, I'd swear they'd deny they soled it to me. Very stand-offish, a lot of attitude on the majority of the employees. Great indoor range with the option to rent a different size/type of weapon. Nice variety of hunting weapons, lacking in hadguns & black weapons. read more

We had a blast! Dic was excellent in answering all of our questions about a couple of pump action shotguns and Glocks. He took his time and gave us the answers to his full knowledge. It didn't feel like we were rushed and he was very polite and professional. We decided to test drive a couple of their Glocks. Dic helped us with all the necessary stuffs that we need for the range. We are definitely coming back to Barnwood Arms! read more

Courteous staff, decent prices for using the range, nice selection of firearms and safes. Only thing I wish is that they were open on Sunday! read more

Walked in and was greeted asked what they could do to help us. Very good selection, great costumer service! I asked about several guns and safes. They took the time to answer my questions for 30-45 minutes. I told them I wasn't buying today and they still took the time for me! Because of doing so they now have a returning customer!! Great place!!!! read more

Barnwood has a pretty good range onsite. The customer service is exemplary, regardless of if you're looking to purchase a weapon, a safe, ammunition or parts. I've purchased a couple of firearms from them, and have no complaint with that. I've purchased a safe from them, they were very helpful in assisting me in selecting the one that fit my needs, and their delivery and set up was spot on. Their technical skills for servicing weapons, installing sights, etc., is excellent. I haven't had a bad experience there with anything, and I've probably gone 6-10 times a year the past five years. read more

I've been here 3 times and always had a good experience. Haven't made a purchase with barnwood but only used the indoor gun range. Luckily I've never had to wait in line for more that 15 mins. I think there's about 6 lanes or so , and 2 persons per lane. Hourly lane rental was $20 per person. Nice spot to use. You can rent firearms , and safety gear as well( ear and eye protection). read more

Came here for the first time over the weekend and was approached by Jake. He was mellow and down to earth and really took his time to show us (me, & hubby) what we were interested in. He answered all of our questions and never made it seem like we were waisting his time. He was very informative and knowledgeable and was never pushy. Would definitely recommend. read more

Awesone place me and my friend spent several hrs in the range shooting 5 guns went thru 6 boxes of ammo. Bought memberships to the range. Cool special and very friendly. We be coming back very soon read more

Knowledgeable staff, they're willing to help you find the right gun for your needs. Love going up there to the range, did I mention they were incredibly helpful staff? Definitely will go there again! read more

I had purchased a Groupon for this place. I called and reserved a spot for Saturday. They took the reservation for Saturday. I received a phone call back and I couldn't reserve it because I have a Groupon. Not happy. I paid almost $70.00 for something I can't use. I was told I could use what I paid for it a different time. It was for two people. If I use what I paid for it is for one. read more

The Staff was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. A HUGE thanks to Paul & Larry, for their knowledge, patience, and for going above and beyond in helping me, the newbie gun owner. They were very patient and helpful in helping me find the perfect fit for my first handgun. Even though there are closer Gun Range locations to where I live, I will continue to travel the extra distance solely based on their incredible customer service, and knowlege. Shop at Barnwood Arms and I guarantee that you will not leave disappointed!! I will definitely be making all future firearm purchases here. I can't give this company enough praise, but a heartfelt Thank You for all of the assistance you have provided me. read more
