Came out to Sacramento Valley Shooting for the first time with my girlfriend, who has a membership…read morehere. Together we've been to an indoor range in North Highlands that ai frequent, and the Mather shooting range before it closed. We came out here on a Sunday after so she could test out her new pistol, and so we could my rifles on the rifle side of the range. We checked in the main shop area, and picked up a speed loader and extra disposable ear plugs. And then eventually went out to the pistol range first. Both the pistol and long gun range alike, have a large number of shooting bags each. And each have a good range distance for shooting, wapwxially the rifle range. Definitely will be coming back for more outdoor shooting, and look forward to some long range shooting as well.

They provide a quick and seamless process with all the paperwork, and everyone walks you through the DROS to ensure everything is filed correctly. This would be a perfect place for a first time gun owner to purchase a firearm, because the staff is able to create such a relaxed and welcoming environment. Special thanks to Aric, Patrick, Christian, and Craighton! Gunsmithing is also available with a quick turnaround time. I forgot the name of their in-house gunsmith, but he was able to help me out on the spot!

I'm still pretty new when it comes to guns. I bought a revolver a couple years ago with every…read moreintention of using it... and then I put it in my gun safe where it basically became a very expensive paperweight for two years. I finally decided it was time to stop being nervous and actually go to the range. After reading the reviews, I decided to check this place out, and I'm really glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. I told them it was my first time at the range, and they took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and help me get set up. That made a huge difference because walking into a range as a newbie can feel a little intimidating. Once I got to my lane, I was only there for about 30 minutes, but I enjoyed every minute of it. My confidence definitely grew, and I left feeling way more comfortable than when I walked in. Overall, great first experience. Friendly staff, helpful guidance, and a welcoming environment for beginners. I'm looking forward to coming back for more practice -- and this time, I promise I won't wait another two years.

If you know, you know. Was directed to Ferdy for some assistance with a transaction.

We were actually discussing some of the other shops around the area that went out of business. Most likely for poor customer service. Thanks again Ferdy!

I was invited here by a seller to make a transfer through this facility and was initially impressed…read moreby the amount of inventory, the friendly half staff of minorities, and variety of merchandise in the showroom, but immediately followed by a very unpleasant experience with the attitude and unprofessionalism in the male staff on the other end. From the second visit, they had me return with documents proving my residency, which was then followed by me being notified about a single paperwork error on their end where the store manager blamed me for his subordinate categorizing my occupational firearm permit as that of a cop's and then also by law, I was also disqualified from purchasing a firearm with that alone. Good thing I got my FSC on the spot, qualifying me, but was then called in for a third visit to redo my paperwork all over again. On this visit, the seller and I was baffled by the rude remarks towards me by the young 5'9 Caucasian kid with tight pants who calls himself Carter, while shadowed by a friendlier black female trainee behind the counter while reprocessing everything, making it uncomfortable for everyone and it seemed for his own personal amusement. We were both astonished l was being mistreated even after the mistakes they made. With every question Carter asked me, he would talk to me as if I was a dumb kid and had a some immediate backlash for every remark whether it was a joke or comment for him to hear and not. That guy was just weird and is the reason I don't recommend doing business there for any reason again. Kid even had the nerve to hand me an hour's worth coin to shoot. He and some of the staff like him create a very toxic environment and it showed in how uncomfortable and embarrassed he made the tall blonde female feel while he had her revise my information. I'm due to be there in 10 days for a pickup and will try to get in touch with the owner in person because the amount of discomfort and unwelcomeness Carter presented from day one and two was unprovoked and unnecessary. Even while the young Filipino lady was handling everything on the first day, Carter just leaned over the corner counter staring me down with a cold stare, all while not saying a word to me and only acknowledged my seller with praise and a smile as he was aswering his questions. I do not recommend a smooth visit here at all as long he's behind the counter.
