Kings Gun and Archery Center Joins NSSF Five-Star Range Family
NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms industry, is pleased to announce that it has awarded its highest Five-Star rating for range excellence to Kings Gun and Archery Center[1].
Located in the California town of Hanford, the county seat of Kings County in the scenic south-central San Joaquin valley, this facility boasts two eight-lane firearms ranges, one bay at 20 yards and one at 25 yards. Both are primarily for handgun use, though the longer range is capable of handling rifle calibers up to .223. A regulation 20-yard archery range is also available. Both sports are supported by a well-stocked, 3,100 square-foot pro shop that focuses on firearms and ammunition sales backed by plenty of accessories for both archery and firearms shooting sports disciplines.
Open to the public, Kings Gun and Archery Center drives active participation through a variety of programs and services. Memberships are available for individuals and families by the month or the year, and it also has special memberships for law enforcement, active duty military and retired veterans. Dozens of handguns and rifles are available for rental, with a unique “10 for $10” program — $10 lets a client fire 10 rounds from the rental version of the firearm they’re looking to purchase — that naturally fosters and supports its thriving pro shop sales. There’s a strong emphasis on safety and training as well, with classes ranging from those for CCW applications and NSSF’s First Shots program to night shooting, NRA’s Eddie Eagle youth program, quick-draw instruction and rapid-fire classes, plus CPR, first aid and weekly archery instruction.
