Stage Stop Gun Shop operates as a family-owned firearms and archery retailer across Atwater and Mariposa, California. Founded in 2011 with a simple mission—competitive pricing, solid selection, and customer service—the business has grown from its original Mariposa location to include a massive new facility in Atwater that opened in 2017.
The main location at 601 Atwater Blvd, Atwater, CA 95301 is the real draw. This isn't your typical gun shop:
The Meggitt system is programmable—you can create custom scenarios with moving targets and decision-making drills (friend vs. threat identification). The Milo Range System uses interactive video to evaluate tactical judgment and use-of-force decisions with real consequences based on your actions.

The Meggitt and Milo Range systems elevate this beyond a standard indoor range. These aren't just target retrieval systems—they're decision-making simulators. That matters if you're serious about CCW or tactical skills. The 18,800 sq ft Atwater facility built specifically for this purpose (finished 2017) shows the Verna family's commitment to the business long-term. Two locations mean convenience whether you're in Mariposa or Atwater. Family ownership since 2011 suggests stability.
