The Firing Line is an indoor shooting range at 1173 Dayton Ave in Clovis, California, operating since March 2012. It is open to the public Monday through Saturday and closed Sundays, except for scheduled Sunday classes.
The range has 12 lanes open to the public for pistol-caliber firearms, plus 6 additional lanes reserved for members to shoot small-bore rifles. Every lane is 25 yards. The range is ADA compliant and has low-height benches for shooters who need wheelchair accessibility. Only handgun-caliber and rimfire ammunition is allowed in the public range. Member rifle shooters must place targets between 15 and 25 yards.
Training covers both in-person and online options. The in-person schedule includes an Introduction to Handguns course for novice and first-time shooters and California CCW renewal courses (Sunday 8-hour and a two-evening format). The 16-hour initial CCW course and the 8-hour renewal can be taken online, with live-fire qualification completed at the range, and a court-ordered firearm safety course is offered online. The instructor team has over 50 years of combined experience, and CCW courses serve Fresno, Madera and Kings Counties.
The range rents California-approved handguns in .22 LR, .38 Special/.357 Magnum, 9mm, .380 ACP and .45 ACP, and sells firearms and accessories. Daily range fees are charged per shooter for the whole day rather than by the hour, and minors ages 12 to 17 shoot at a reduced rate with a parent or guardian. Annual and monthly memberships are available, including a family plan, with discounts for active-duty and retired military, law enforcement, CDCR, fire and EMT personnel.
