I want to give Josh a huge thank - you. As a tourist who drove all the way from San Jose, California to experience shooting, I originally only expected to try out fully automatic rifles and the 50 Cal BMG sniper rifle at a reasonable price. However, during the shooting experience with Josh, I found that he was more like a long - time friend who was also highly professional. He provided patient and expert guidance on how to shoot, and would chat with me, making the whole process much more relaxed and enjoyable. I think the 4 - hour drive here was totally worth it. The shooting range is his private property, and it feels extremely free and relaxing here. If you want to have an excellent shooting experience rather than just simply firing a gun, then choosing Josh will definitely be a great option. read more

See all

Absolutely amazing experience! We had the time of our life! Can't wait to come back! Josh is so professional and friendly, he really knows his stuff! Thank you again! read more

A huge thank you to Josh, Sean, Cody and Andy!! We had a pretty large group with varying experience from never having held a fire arm to a few with some experience. All 4 of these gentlemen were awesome! It was very informative and functionally established/enhanced everyone's skill levels. We had so much fun as the environment was carefully monitored to ensure everyone's safety. We are all looking forward to more experiences with Josh and his incredibly fantastic team! The critique and knowledge that these gentlemen shared with us was incredible. We can't wait to come back out! read more

Nevada Gun Rental - Our group, with varying skill levels! Had an absolute blast with Josh, Sean, Cody and Andy! We can't wait to come back! - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Getting ready for doomsday? Having a bachelor party in Reno? Want to learn more about home defense? Josh and his crew are the best people for the job. These guys are ridiculously good at showing you a good time AND teaching you the basics of situational shooting. Customizing your experience is really easy with Josh. I highly recommend shooting a few full autos and some move/shoot or retention shooting courses. Its a perfect setting in the middle-of-nowhere but really easy to find via his directions. The range is also a little less than an hour drive from Reno. Watch out for the wild horse shit on the road in... We will be back, sooner rather than later as our 2nd Amendment is constantly under attack and who knows what our legislator will do next. read more

Nevada Gun Rental - 50 Cal. TRUMP - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We love JOSH, this is coming from a consumer with high expectations. First we went out to shoot as being from California we do not have access to all of the guns we wanted to shoot. We found Josh and was elated we was able to see us with little lead time- as we called many places around and no one had availability! The first time we went, he made sure we were comfortable and that safety was first! He had all of the equipment we selected and was incredibly patient as it was my first time EVER using a gun. We had a blast and it was a great experience. When we left the first time we knew we wouldn't even try and go back to a regular range or use anyone else for their services. The second time we went Josh worked with me on commands and helping me sight and shoot efficiently. The area in which we are at is safe and secure. The scenery is beautiful and my boyfriend wont shoot else where at this point. Of course Josh comes highly recommended and we will continue to see and learn from him as we return to Reno. Thank you Josh for making a first time gun user comfortable!! read more

Booked a package for my 13 yo sons birthday, and I am glad I did. I was very impressed with Joshs' knowledge, experience and people skills. He is a fantastic instructor, has a great range and a large variety of guns to try. He gave my son a gift of an extra full auto to shoot which was very generous. His prices are extremely reasonable. He is highly responsive and very flexible. I will recommend him wherever I go and (with time and money) take the rest of my family out there for quite the blast (pun intended). Thanks Josh. read more

Thank you Nevada Gun Rental for a great experience from beginning to end! Josh, you the man! Let me start off by saying, I personally do not have a lot of experience with firearms and deciding who to go with can be very intimidating. I can confidently tell you now that Josh with Nevada Gun Rental will go out of his way to provide the best experience possible. Josh ran me through each package, discussed pricing, and addressed any specific wants/needs of my group. The pricing is competitive and I appreciate that there is no hidden fees. Josh is available 24/7, he told me so, so if you need anything just give him a call (he's a great texter as well). All of the guns we shot as part of our package were great! They appeared to be well maintained and were in great working order. Josh, the range master, makes the experience even better. He has great information about safety and handling, even for newbies. I highly recommend Nevada Gun Rental to anyone looking for gun rentals in the Reno area! read more

Just spent the morning with Josh at the range and it was great! We had a private lesson and range time for my wife, mother-in-law, and myself. He covered gun safety and let us shoot a wide sample of guns, ranging from revolvers to semi-auto handguns, to rifles. The whole morning was professional, educational, and fun! The range we shot at was deep in the desert mountains, about a mile off the main road. It was a perfect place to shoot. I thought it would be harder to find as there wasn't an address I could plug into Google Maps, but his directions and map were perfect. And the bright orange flags showing where to turn off the highway helped, too. Can't say enough good things about Nevada Gun Rental and Josh. If you're looking to learn about a variety of guns and learn to shoot (or shoot even better), then this is it. read more

We had an incredible time with Josh and his team. They were thorough, involved in the process and made sure everyone was having a great time. They made the whole experience fun, safe and insightful. Not to mention they have some really unique guns and a great range to shoot at. Would recommend to anyone. read more

I can't say enough about the professionalism, the concern for safety & education and the attention to each shooter demonstrated by Josh and his crew. They provided an extremely FUN day of shooting for an experienced and a very inexperienced shooter, and they created a well-managed environment on the range that kept everyone & everything safe at all times. During an annual trip to Lake Tahoe last Summer, I booked a "military package" (with some additions & changes) for 2 -- a range of handguns and long guns in use by the military of the US and/or other countries. I'm an experienced shooter and have owned and fired a range of handguns and long guns, my girlfriend had never fired a gun of any time (though SHE was the one who requested I find a place for us to shoot!) I am SO fortunate to have found Nevada Gun Rental. Josh worked with me every step of the way, making sure the range of weapons we'd fire met our needs and would make us happy. I fired 12 - 15 different weapons, some were "old favorites" of mine and some were weapons I'd never fired but wanted to. My girlfriend received a pretty full education in firearms safety, handing and the joy of recreational shooting, starting the day with a .22 pistol and finishing with a 50 cal and grazing her target from 400 yards. Needless to say, Nevada Gu Rental absolutely exceeded our expectations. We're in Tahoe for a week each year, and we've been looking forward to a day of shooting THIS year since our day of shooting ended LAST year. In a past life I spent a fair amount of time on public & private shooting ranges and military & law enforcement training facilities, and I learned to take firearms safety & responsibility VERY seriously. I was pleased and impressed to find that Josh and his crew do likewise -- not surprising, as their military and law enforcement backgrounds have trained them well to be training and working with civilians to have the same respect and focus on firearms responsibility. Of course, the primary reason people engage in recreational shooting is to HAVE FUN...and boy, did we have fun! As I recall we fired a few MORE weapons than the package we'd booked included, and Josh didn't ask for a penny more. I knew Josh had an appointment later in the day, and I was worried we'd be "rushed" through the experience (as often happens at indoor ranges in Las Vegas, where the goal seams to be "get a gun in his/her hand as quickly as possible, get them to fire all their rounds as quickly as possible, repeat until they've fired all the guns they'll be firing and get 'em out the door") The OPPOSITE was the case...Josh and his fellow instructor/rangemaster (we each had a dedicated instructor by our side at all times) were exceedingly patient and informative, making it possible for both of us to truly savor the experience. Five stars doesn't cover it...I've been shooting off and on for over 25 years, everything from little plinker .22s to to semi-auto and full-auto M-16s, a full-auto Thompson ("Tommy Gun") and many others, big and small...and the day we spent just outside Carson City last Summer was one of the BEST days I've ever spent shooting. I can't WAIT to be back in Tahoe later this Summer...for the beauty of the lake and the surroundings, the clean, crisp air, the fun of the casinos...but I'd be lying if I said that another day with Nevada Gun Rental isn't hovering right around the top of the list of reasons I'm looking forward to our trip to Tahoe this year. Thank you, Nevada Gun Rental, for a GREAT time last year...can't wait to do it again! read more

We did a range day for a bachelor party, and had such an awesome time. Josh and his crew really know their guns, and will make sure you have a great - and safe - time. They're all hilarious too; don't leave your sense of humor at home. Josh has so much experience and expertise to share, which made this a far more educational day than I could have expected. I couldn't recommend them more - go out and shoot to your heart's desire here. read more

Had a bachelor party with these guys and we were not let down. We chose to shoot a few full auto's, some rifles and hand guns. Great friendly people, very informative, very safe. We had a great time and would definitely go again and recommend anyone to join. read more

I have nothing but praise for Josh and Nevada Gun Rental. My brother-in-law and I took my nephew for his 13th birthday for some shooting fun with Josh. Josh was very professional from the moment we showed up at the range. He made our time fun, educational, and safe. He answered every question we had and also added pointers to help all of be better shooters. I would recommend Josh to anyone that wants to try shooting for the first time or who just wants to shoot some weapons you can't shoot other places. As my nephew is a big Call of Duty player we shot the FN PS90, FN 2000, Steyr AUG and the H&K MP5 full auto. I will definitely be back again to shoot some of the other options available! read more

Our family of 5 just returned from a trip to Lake Tahoe. We had intended to go skiing but had to find other activities given the dearth of snow. Instead of skiing, the undisputed highlight of the trip was our morning with Josh and his crew out in the desert at Nevada Gun Rental. The environment was safe but also a bunch of fun. The good natured ribbing between the staff members who were Army and the one Marine who was on-site was a memorable addition to the day. In terms of the shooting itself, the selection and quality of available firearms was outstanding and the level of instruction was tremendous. Our family had one new rifle shooter as well as an award winning marksman, and everyone learned from the experience. Nevada Gun Rental was an excellent value and a great experience. read more

Planned a Bachelor Party with Josh and his crew. The logistics can be a bit odd to sort out, but Josh was extremely responsive and welcoming when it came to questions and planning. It ended up being one of the highlights of the weekend. They were great at making you feel safe and comfortable around the equipment. There were 7 of us, and we all shot the military package. They were extremely accommodating and would sneak in a few extra rounds. Not only were the guns amazing to shoot, but you have to make sure you chat them up and they'll tell you all sorts of great stories like the history of the guns and how they developed. Really knowledgable, Great Businessmen, and an absolute blast! We were all first timers, if you're having any hesitation rest assured you're in good hands. read more

Did a bachelor party shoot with Josh and his crew and it was a blast! Besides the basic .22lr semi-auto pistol and a couple of M&P 15-22's we shot the following.. MP5 Full Auto AK47 slide fire FN2000 PS90 Saiga 12Ga Ar 50BMG (big boom!) Desert Eagle AE50 Colt 1911 FN Five-Seven Judge .410/45 Colt All I can say it was an awesome 3 hours of shooting! These guys are top notch, friendly and fun to hang out with. We had some expoding targets which gave it a extra boom. They had everything set up, covered the basic rules and away we went. Guns look well maintained and functioned great. I would def go again. One item on the bucket list checked off !!! read more

I planned a trip for my boyfriends birthday and lets just say it was a great experience! He has more experience than I do about guns and how to hold them.As for me I have shot a little gun years ago at an indoor range in Milpitas CA. So I get very nervous when I pick up a gun because I'm afraid it will fly out of my hand or I will fly back like in the movies lol. Specially these guns , they are not something you see everyday. When I first made reservations I was a little worried this was not an actual place because there was no address. But it all makes sense when you get there. Its kind of hard to put a address on a place that's in the middle of the desert. But he gave us directions and it was extremely easy to get there and clear flags you cant miss to guide you through. Its about an hour out of downtown Reno , but worth the drive! When we arrive we see the range and a couple of groups that were shooting as well. Josh immediately introduced himself to us and made us feel comfortable. He even let me shoot a couple of guns and I didn't have to pay! I was hesitant because of my fears, but deep down I wanted to. I am so glad I did and so thankful he gave me that experience. It was a rush and I have something I can remember for the rest of my life! I also love the fact that it was a flat rate. No bull, no tax. If it says $200 its $200. No hidden stuff or extra fees. I will definitely tell my friends about this hidden gem! Definitely something everyone should do at least once. I wish I had the guts to shoot some of the more powerful guns like the AR 50. Maybe one day :) read more

I've shot machine guns at the gun store in Vegas and with these guys. Nevada Gun Rental blows the other guys out of the water. For $160 dollars, we shot a freakin Arnold Schwarznegger Island Scene from Commando aresnal of machine guns. The guys who run it are super laid back and helpful. There is even a Ben "How do you like them apples" Affleck doppleganger with an authentic Boston accent. Did I mention exploding f'ing targets. Hell ya. There only $15 bucks extra and well worth the videos. This is a must do activity for all groups of guy friends in the Bay Area. read more

This was awesome fun and I would highly recommend it. We tried 6 machine guns and a few hand guns.

Went here for a bachelor party two weeks ago and it was the right choice. Josh, his son and the rest of the range masters were very accomodating. I scheduled for a party of 13 and only 6 of us were sober enough to make it. Fortunately, Josh had brought out a lot more than just the guns I requested and let the 6 of us fire the whole arsenal all the way up to a .50 cal sniper rifle. Great experience and a lot more fun than the indoor ranges I've been to. read more
