KW Defense - Stockton, California

Kidd Kammakazi

My go-to range as a resident in Stockton, CA. Prices are fair and you get an entire hour. It's also never really busy, so you don't have to worry about overcrowding in the lanes.

The range officers are very respectful and will offer advice if you ask them. Anything relating to aiming, stance, grip, you name it.

As a new handgun owner in California, I always get nervous when performing in front of someone watching, but you'll never have to worry when you're here. You can't get better until you really practice at the real deal.

The lanes themselves are air conditioned, so it's wise to layer up because it can get cold, thus affecting your grip, aim, and performance.

As for the target size, it's best to bring 23" x 35" paper targets, it will cover the entire area.

If you have sensitive eardrums like I do, it's best to double up on ear protection. Wear foam inserts, and then actual ear muffs over them.

Overall I would recommend this range if you're wanting to practice, train, or teach any family/friend into the firearms world.

This review is long overdue! KW Defense is a real blessing to our city. I love the range and the store and the staff are super helpful! At the store, I chit chat with Patricia who is always welcoming and telling me what's coming up. Every purchase has come with good insight and advice from the staff. I am a member at the range and let me tell you how cool that is. I can reserve a lane in the App and then check in is super easy. I always leave shooting better than I did when I came. The range officers are always helpful and I've had especially good advice from both Ting and James who got me back 'on target' hehe. I also love that I get to support not just local, but a Veteran owned business. Thank you KW!

Now that I’ve been to more than a half dozen indoor and outdoor ranges and through about 3000rds, I can say with confidence that they have a great shooting range.

I started as a complete beginner here and recommend it for both new and experienced shooters. Both the facilities and staff are top notch.

I was having some trouble with some springs on an AR15 & their gunsmith was incredibly helpful in providing parts & throughout the installation process. He walked me through some of the guns that they have available and is super knowledgeable in general. If you’re in the Stockton area, KW is definitely the place the place to go.

Went here with a friend and found the staff super helpful providing some great advice. Kyle who was managing the shooting range was great for providing advice and improving technique. Was very impressed with the range available and found the prices to be super reasonable. Has a great time and some really good results in terms of practicing and improving. Highly recommend and great team.
