She ended up liking the feel of a gun I already had but he did not rush us and answered the questions correctly and efficiently. He knew his stuff for sure. Their selection is vast for California and their prices fair. I have bought several guns from them. So I recommend them for gun purchases. The range is nice and the process efficient. My cousin liked it and she thinks she was there before. I have brought friends there and the consensus is it is always fun. Range guns were solid as I rented a Walther to go along with my Sig M18 and CZ SP-01. The price is awesome as we were there for a bit and did not think much of what I paid as that is normal entry fee if you shoot. When I go to my property it is free and you can shoot what you want and how you want but this is a public range and not my land. So it is good. Overall I like Reed's a lot and would recommend the range and shop to anyone who loves shooting and wants to buy a rifle or handgun. This is a quality place for sure and you pay for what you get. Highly recommendable and my cousin and I approve!

    I took Fighting Rifle 1 + 2 over the weekend and had a great time and learned a ton. I went from…read morenot knowing how to rack the rifle, to knowing how to zero a rifle, confident with manipulations, and knowing what my limits are in terms of shooting, stress, and movement. It was also a lot of fun Brian really donates all of his energy into this, and goes above and beyond. He's not here to give you a simple low effort easy experience that you can feel good about later. He wants to challenge you. He really wants you to grow as a shooter and share with you his passion for this activity and skill. I saw a few people here post about the drive up so I want to help inform others with this aspect-- I will say that its a very doable drive if you can drive twisties. I have performance driving experience and it took 50 minutes from the base of San Jose. I will say if you are less experienced, budget 1.5 hours. And if you lack confidence driving, budget 2 hours. Its not a difficult drive as in there is no risk, as long as you drive within your limits in terms of speed. Feeling not confident? Just slow down. Some people were driving 15-20mph which is totally fine for these roads. But if you are the type of person that cannot confidently put their car where they want it to go, I would skip this trainer and find a closer place to town. His range itself is off road. I would say its in the beginner off road level of driving. Meaning treat it like driving on road. There isn't really anything that can damage your car. But you will be driving on dirt, and if you are not used to that it might concern you. But don't worry off road is only tricky with hills, ruts, or rocks, which there are none. With a standard sedan, drive up to the bathrooms. Any further and you will get bigger hills. With fwd, if you are a confident driver you can make it down to the classroom building. However I would not suggest driving down to the range unless you have AWD as you may not have enough traction to go back up. I will say that if you do not consider yourself a skilled driver, do not drive back at night. Plan to pack up at 5 and leave at 6 minimum (assuming 7 is sunset). I drove back at night, and had to manage deer (saw two packs), fog, rocks on the road. It was raining that day so maybe my drive back was trickier than normal. These things are not an issue during the day, however at night you do need to be attentive.

Brian was unprofessional, rude, and had a habit of belittling students. He made the learning environment uncomfortable by embarrassing people rather than constructively correcting them. While I understand that it's not an instructor's job to be friendly or to "hold our hands," there's a difference between being direct and being outright disrespectful--and Brian crossed that line. In terms of content, the class was heavily skewed toward theoretical discussions, such as legal frameworks for self-defense and broad topics on conflict and society. While some of this information was interesting and well-explained, it dominated the day, leaving little time for actual hands-on firearm training. The balance between theory and practical instruction was way off. Additionally, while Brian welcomed questions, he often responded by making students feel stupid instead of providing clear, direct answers. This approach, combined with his condescending attitude, discouraged people from asking questions at all. A firearms class should foster confidence and competence--not intimidation. I gave it 1 extra star because instructor Spencer was amazing. Overall, I did not gain much practical, in-depth knowledge about firearms or safety. If you're looking for a class that prioritizes hands-on training and a professional learning environment, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

    I kept on hearing good thing about it but I never went there until last week and I regret not…read morecoming here sooner. This is indeed the best range in the Bay Area. Although the name says Sunnyvale but it's closer to the Cupertino mountains. Although the map shows a long windy road heading there from 280, it's not bad not long at all. The range unfortunately is only open to the public on Tuesday or Saturday. The parking lot is huge and the restroom is on the other side of the parking lot from the main buildings. The checkin is at a small window next to the pistol/rifle range; you don't actually go into the office. After you pay you enter a steel gate where the stands are indoors but the targets are outdoors. The only problem is that there is a limited number of bays so I can see that it could get super busy and you might have to wait. The people there are friendly and no fuss. I don't think this is a good place for absolute beginner because the distance to the closest target is about 20? yards which might be too far for most beginner shooters. What I absolutely love about this range is the availability of steel targets at 25 and 100 yards. This is rare for most ranges at the Bay Area. Also they are not fussy about "rapid" fire. Also they provide paper targets and paint spray for the steel targets for free. The cost of the range is only $25 which is really cheap compared to most other ranges with the exception of Metcalf. I think I will come to this range every Tuesday from now on. There is also a shotgun range. Overall, this is absolutely my favorite range in the Bay Area for myself.

The rifle and pistol areas are only $25 per person, but I am not sure if they offer gun rentals since I brought my own gear. This place feels more suitable for advanced shooters; beginners might find it a bit less friendly. However, once you get used to the target change schedule, you can even shoot at 25 feet, 50 feet, and 100 feet. Remember not to wear too many layers, it gets really hot! Also, make sure to bring your own earplugs or noise-canceling headphones along with safety glasses. Personally, I use Meta glasses. 寬廣的靶場,提供給散彈槍、步槍和手槍射擊的空間,入場費不算貴,步槍和手槍的區域一個人才$25,但是我不是很確定能否提供租槍服務,因為我是自己帶裝備去的。感覺這裡比較適合進階的玩家去,初學者在這裡會感覺稍微有一點不太友善。但是一但習慣這裡的換靶時間以後,這裡甚至可以打25呎、50呎和100呎的靶位!記得別穿太多,很熱!!!但是記得自己帶一個耳塞或是耳機可以降噪那種,加上一個護目鏡,我個人是使用Meta眼鏡。

This was exactly what I needed to get familiar with a professional woodshop and all the essential tools. The class accomplished its main goal perfectly: giving beginners hands-on experience with the equipment in a safe, structured way. Over two Saturday afternoon sessions (3.5 hours each), we made a simple candle holder while rotating through practically every major tool in the shop. We used the sliding compound miter saw, jointer, planer, table saw, band saw, router, and various sanders. While the project itself wasn't particularly exciting, it was clearly designed to maximize tool exposure rather than create a masterpiece. David was an excellent instructor who prioritized safety above all else and patiently answered every question. The class size of about 10 people felt just right for getting individual attention. The woodshop itself is impressive with a fantastic selection of professional-grade tools. Parking was easy and the classroom was simple to locate. At around $150 per person, it's not cheap, but felt reasonable considering you're getting access to thousands of dollars worth of equipment and quality instruction. Just expect to get covered in sawdust! We had plenty of time to complete our project without feeling rushed. This class is perfect for complete beginners who want to learn woodworking basics in a supportive environment. It's specifically designed as a safety prerequisite for their more advanced classes where you can tackle more interesting projects. If you're thinking about woodworking as a hobby or just want to try it out, this is an ideal starting point. I'm definitely planning to take more classes here.
