About
Kiwi's Custom Guns, Inc. operates from 3332 Santa Fe Street in Riverbank, maintaining a presence in Calaveras County. The facility centers on a climate-controlled indoor shooting range featuring five 25-yard lanes engineered to accommodate calibers up to .50 BMG. Action Target technology equips each lane through The Defender Stall system, which incorporates brass deflectors and muzzle blast barriers alongside tactical cart tables with integrated shelving. The Genesis Smart target retrieval system provides wireless carriers and touchscreen interfaces, enabling shooters to control retrieval timing, adjust lane lighting, view live camera feeds of targets, and access custom courses of fire. A recirculation ventilation system maintains year-round temperature control while processing 75% recirculated air and 25% fresh air through dual-stage bag and HEPA filtration, creating what the facility describes as enhanced atmospheric safety for extended shooting sessions. Beyond range access, Kiwi's Custom Guns offers training services, gunsmithing capabilities, and firearms retail operations from the Riverbank location.
