Safer Arms Indoor range in Chico has been one of the very few places in the area where you can go in and get great professional advice from a knowledgeable staff on a wide selection of firearms. Everything from blackpowder guns to hunting rifles to handguns to reloading equipment is in stock and available for sale. There is a nice selection of rental guns that you can shoot as a sort of "test drive" if you are in the market for a gun. The range is clean and well equipped for the most part. The only drawback to the range is that you can only point your weapon downrange and fire slowly. Any double taps or presentations from your carry gear (drawing) will get you a polite consultation from the range master. However, In todays litigious society, it may not be their fault. All in all, a great place to shoot, shop or kill a half hour browsing while the wife (or Hubby?) shops elsewhere.

This is a nice indoor range facility. They have a moderate selection of guns and gun accessories and some hunting supplies. Most of my experience with them has been with their classes though. They have good instructors who go through everything with you and really tailor classes to the needs of the individuals in the class. They do first time and renewal concealed carry classes and also offer safety classes. If you sign up for a class you have to pay for it unless they are able to fill your spot if you end up needing to cancel or drop the class for some reason. If you are having a hard time getting in a class somewhere it’s worth a call or drive out to Chico because they offer classes regularly and do have cancellations now and then if you are trying to get in right away. The staff is very knowledgeable about guns and parts and are helpful.
