They made the whole process smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. I also had an awesome experience during the CCW training with Instructor Richard, Brenda, and Kash. They were knowledgeable, professional, patient, and made sure everyone understood the material and training. I really appreciated how they took the time to answer questions and create a positive learning environment. Thank you to the entire Called2Arms team for the outstanding experience and excellent customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and welcoming place for CCW training!

I came here awhile back with my brother. We originally went to Turners to look into purchasing my…read morefirst gun. In order to get a feel for it, we came to Called2Arms to try out a few different guns and try out the one I wanting to purchase. You pay to rent the gun and for ammo. You must have an ID and need to fill out the paperwork prior. You must have eye wear and ear plugs, available for purchase. You can also purchase a Target or they supply the first one free. They have a staff member in the range to ensure safety and help answer any questions. It was a cool experience. If you're looking to purchase your first gun I'd recommend going to a gun range to try it out before you purchase it.

I've taken a few courses from VDC these last few years and they stand out from the rest of the firearm instructors/schools that I've seen in the area.

I came to this shooting range for the Great Valley Prone match in April. Steve and Bonnie were…read morehosting the match and were amazing! The range is hidden behind some farm area off the main road, so be sure to keep your eyes open for the small dirt road that will lead you to the range. As soon as you enter the gates, you'll see the pistol range and if you head straight in, you'll see the longer distance range. You'll need to be a member or with a member to access the range. All the members I interacted with during the match were very down to earth, friendly, and outgoing! There were also some newer shooters and the members were very helpful in making sure they felt comfortable.

I thought the other reviews about the service was a bad day luck but i can see now that is true. I walked in to buy something, the guy seems pretty cool at first but when i started asking question he gave me weird eyes like if i was bothering him eventually he started talking with other of the retail guys and not putting attention to my questions I finally said "thank you" and completely ignored me. I hope they fix the customer service tho

Very limited selection on accessories and parts BUT they will try to help you find anything you need. Staff was solid. Not the warm welcoming kind but also not the typical gun shop D bags. Straight forward but genuine and answer all questions. Also they allow a wide variety of calibers at their range I believe everything up to 50 BMG. shotguns welcome slug only though. Found my new go to. Worth the drive from Turlock.

This indoor range has less lanes than some other places but has never been to crowded to get a spot.

Range fee is $20 per hour. They have quite a few guns for rent for $10 to try before you buy as well as eye and ear protection. Nice place.

What used to be awesome is now just a money making business with no emphasis on education or proper training. Will avoid going to Spartan/Fidel and I will suggest others to do the same. Don't be fooled by bunch of various course offerings, not worth the price at all.

The first time was a fundraiser for a student at our high school who had cancer, the second was an invite by some members to join them at their Christmas dinner. Kudos to the club and the fine folks who belong and keep it going.

(Attended 10/09/24 WE @ 12:30pm): Hey, man... this club mainly catered to sports hunting!…read more The relatives of my dear friend rented out Escalon Sportsman's Club which held the funeral reception for her grandmother. This was just a short drive from St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Ripon, and one of the relatives was a member of this club, so he was able to rent it out for a discount, too! Having grown up and lived in a big city, I personally didn't have much contact with such manly clubs and lodges although I've seen a few in the wild throughout the years (I believed there once was an Elk's Lodge in Burbank). Did we have a sporting chance in this club to appease those who attended for some reconnecting, reflecting, refreshments, and remembrance!? EXPERIENCE People from the funeral - and even those who couldn't make it - slowly rolled in. While mostly everyone from the area appeared to know each other (as they should), myself, my dear friend, and her sister were on the outside looking in. No matter, we chatted amongst ourselves and the few we knew. The drinks and food was set out buffet-style, so it was like the buffet line on a cruise ship with just about the right demographic! I eased into my first plate https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=qVys8sEFYxK9onr_KxolgA and eventually made more until it was time to start cleaning up. The food was yummy, and there was plenty to take home to graze on. But before that, let's have one last beer https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=-4NX-lqhYwK8KvGth4sdPw and cheers to those who have passed. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the small-town feel that came along with the reception! SERVICE It was an all-hands-on-deck situation where family and friends chipped in to set up and tore down the facility in addition to providing the catered food. With a handful of us, we easily pulled out the chairs and tables (there was even a posted instructional picture https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=wCZRq7dQ-jSOPNUVMl0Lxw of how to reorganize them which I loved), arranged them as we saw fit, and did the necessary decorations the day before, and with even more able bodies after the reception, everything was put back into place and cleaned up even quicker. A friend of the family catered the food, and whatever was left over was packed up and divided so nothing went to waste. All was easy-peasy; a pat on our respective backs! PARKING (FREE) They had their own medium lot - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A country rustic building that had a large main hall, a small bar area, and a seemingly full-functional kitchen. The bare wooden beams and various stuffed animal heads https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=hKUNu5C_QIbv5ld7LxczGw mainly grabbed my attention. We placed out several long tables with coverings and chairs in the main hall https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=-aZn9-SGlw_A2FYqGcgiLA while we set-up small round tables https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=Jz_AeOx87lF8EvF_aw18lg with coverings and chairs in the bar area. Plenty of natural lighting came through the many windows that surrounded the place while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I noticed only one TV (turned off) in the bar area, while the chatter of conversations filled the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=eymkqOT0dy2npSxHml8e5Q ATTIRE Because I was part of the funeral party, I was in all-black long-sleeve buttoned-up collar shirt, dress slacks, and dress shoes. However, the attire would wholly depend on the type of event being held here. OVERALL The Escalon Sportsman's Club fitted the occasion well, and I found it quite charming with its farmland feel. I felt like this was a snapshot into a long-gone era, but then again, it still may ring true here and my city living has skewed my perception of things. The rental rates seemed highly reasonable (i.e. Member Pricing: FR-SU $900.00 w/$800.00 deposit, MO-TH $500.00 w/$800.00 deposit, Funeral or Bar Only $350.00 w/$800.00 deposit; Non-Members only a couple hundred dollars more). I found very good value based on the service and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $0.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice (I did some post-research)... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
