I had an outstanding experience learning from Ricky. His ability to make complex concepts…read moreapproachable while keeping the training engaging really stood out. After completing my first three-hour course, I was confident enough to immediately sign up my entire family for additional training with him. Since our goal is to responsibly own a firearm at home, it's important that everyone understands proper handling and safety--and Ricky delivers exactly that. His guidance on the range is especially valuable; having a highly experienced veteran by your side, giving real-time direction, makes a huge difference--especially if you're new to firearms. I've now trained with Ricky twice, and each session has been both educational and enjoyable. Beyond the technical skills, there's a real sense of confidence that comes from learning in such a structured and professional environment. If you're serious about learning firearm safety and handling the right way, I highly recommend training with Ricky.

Counter service was like pulling teeth, was not greeted when we walked in as a group of 6. NO AC in the shooting range; made for a horrible experience: This range does not offer a military discount either. You would think that would be something they would offer. Recommendation for the Management- Customer service training. Greet every customer the way you would want to be treated. Recommendation for the company- Invest in AC for the range. Your shooters want to be comfortable when shooting in doors. Eddie Little USMC Retired

We asked if he could explain how it works and he was so kind to my daughter and I. He showed us how it worked, did a gun safety explanation and showed proper handling. These weapons were modified to hold a co2 canister to give the feel of kickback. My daughter had a great time and is begging me to take her back to do the moving range. We loved all the differnt game options. This business also has a mobile simulation range which is awesome. We are definitely coming back to do this another day.

These guys are top notch…read more I had a blast working with these guys. It's simple calm instruction with some great people. You will learn the ins and outs of CQB in the classroom then get to deploy those movements on the "live fire" part of the building. Speaking of the building they have the perfect one. The old Escondido police station makes for the perfect venue. It's got elements of several environments. The fact that it's partly broken down (but safe) adds to the ambiance of the place. And the instructors are nice and knowledgeable. Dave, the lead instructor, has loads of real world experience that he has off loaded into his staff. Matt was the one who worked with our crew for the day. He was able to teach us how to conquer the rooms and be effective. You could tell he knew what he was talking about! All in all, it's a place we will return to!!!

Warfighter Academy has taken over the old Escondido Police HQ and is turning it in to a school…read morefocusing on the next level of weapons training. This academy is a new concept in firearm and security training. This facility IS NOT a shooting range. The instructors here teach people of all walks of life and skills the next level in firearms handling. You can target shoot most anywhere but Warfighter will teach you what to do if confronted with an armed person. The techniques and tactics that are taught here are something that had been previously available only to top level military and special forces personnel. They have classes for everyone from stay at home moms to experienced military. I believe you will be able to buy and attend single classes or multiple thru a membership program. Classes will range in skill level and difficulty and you can progress from one class to the next by completing each lower level. They will teach everything from basic firearms handling and techniques to low light, no light and urban warfare training. I was able to attend one of their pilot classes recently and had a great time. The class I attended was almost half women which is awesome. The instructors are all former military combat veterans or law enforcement. They all have experience in their respective fields and have all been taught by the best in the world when it comes to firearms handling and tactics. The class consisted of part classroom instruction and part hands on using tactical/military style paintball guns. The hands on portion is video taped to allow you to review what you learned with the instructors then improve from there. The point of the classes is to improve your chances of winning a gunfight in most any situation. The class selection, amenitiies and products offered will increase as they get going. When I attended there was still some amount of re-modeling going on, but look for big things very soon. I am excited to come back here for another class soon!

In my search, I have gone to a few trial classes around the area but could not find the same intensity, the aggression, skills, and the same workout that I was used to getting in Chicago. I was about to give up on my search until one day I stumbled across Caliber 3 on one of my random Sunday morning searches and thought that I would check it out. I was immediately impressed with their facility, none that I am used to, not your typical neighborhood hole in the wall gym. The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I could tell that they were passionate about teaching and everything that they do as they were walking me through the facility as well as giving me a history on Caliber 3, originating from Israel and how they wanted to bring their knowledge to the U.S. The instructors are the real deal, all first hand skills and teachings from former IDF. They are great teachers, accommodating to anyone that wants to learn. May you be young or old, nerd or athlete, beginner or advanced, first timer or Bruce Lee. Don't be intimidated to try, you will not regret it. You will get the workout and learn practical self-defense all at the same time. "Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try"
