About Firing-Line Indoor Shooting Ranges
Firing-Line is a premier indoor shooting facility located in Burbank that has established itself as a trusted destination for both recreational shooters and professionals across Southern California. Operating since at least the early 2000s, the range has built a strong reputation for maintaining uncompromising safety standards while maintaining an accessible, welcoming environment for shooters of all experience levels.
The Burbank location at 1060 North Lake Street features a well-maintained facility with multiple shooting bays designed for pistol, rifle, and various shooting disciplines. The range accommodates both drop-in visitors and membership holders, with daily session fees starting at $28 for the first shooter and $14 for additional shooters in the same lane. This flexible pricing model has made regular practice accessible compared to many Southern California ranges that require expensive annual memberships.
What sets Firing-Line apart is its comprehensive training infrastructure. The facility offers structured beginner classes taught by experienced instructors like Scott, with reviewers consistently praising the quality of instruction and the ability to build confidence quickly. Beyond recreational shooting, Firing-Line partners with Forza Defense to offer Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) qualifications and security guard training programs - services that attract working professionals who need certified firearms training. This combination of recreational access and professional training capabilities positions the facility as a one-stop solution for shooters with diverse needs.
The staff culture at Firing-Line deserves particular emphasis. Multiple reviewers highlight the patience, knowledge, and genuine care demonstrated by employees. Range masters actively monitor the facility, provide unsolicited assistance to shooters struggling with equipment, and take extra steps to ensure visitor comfort - even extending hospitality to reluctant first-timers who weren’t initially eager to try shooting. This customer-centric approach extends to equipment assistance, with staff demonstrating willingness to help troubleshoot firearms, lubricate new guns, and provide maintenance guidance without charging additional fees. For a professional security officer reviewing the range, the emphasis on consistent rule enforcement and safety protocol actually represents a feature, not a drawback.
The facility enforces clear safety protocols that some reviewers characterize as ‘strict,’ but the underlying motivation is patron protection and liability management. Visitors must demonstrate basic firearm handling knowledge, keep fingers off triggers, and respect range commands. Firearm rentals require a minimum of two shooters, a policy that ensures supervision and shared accountability. While these rules can feel intimidating to novice shooters, they create a measurably safer environment than ranges where rule enforcement is inconsistent.
Firing-Line’s operating hours from noon to 10 PM Monday through Friday, and 10 AM to 10 PM on weekends, provide substantial accessibility for shooters with varying schedules. The facility manages high traffic volume reasonably well - even visitors arriving on busy Saturday mornings report acceptable wait times to begin their sessions.
With a 3.8-star rating across nearly 400 reviews, Firing-Line represents a mature, professionally-run facility that prioritizes safety and customer service. The range appeals to first-time shooters seeking a supportive introduction to the sport, regular shooters requiring consistent quality facilities, and armed professionals needing certified training and reliable practice locations.
