I messaged the owner, Justin, on Instagram, and he took the time to explain exactly what I needed even though it was his day off.

A secondary proof of residence is ONLY when buying a hand gun in California. Not a rifle.

He got mad and arrogant. I took my business to feild Of Glory 3 blocks away(cheaper too) and they know the laws and don't make you go through bs that isn't necessary (just because he's too lazy to or proud to be proven wrong. You can look it up yourself in the DOJ web site. Been buying guns for 40 years and these young ignorant soon to be out of business guys unfortunately think they are smarter than anyone and can't be bothered or educated. Kinda like when a liberal claims men can get pregnant. They will not listen to the facts and cause their customers more hassle some times.

Finally made it out to this range which was formerly Wes Thompson's Rifle Range. The workers here…read morecould not be more friendly and accommodating. I explained it was our first time at this particular range and they explained everything and showed me the map before taking us all to the private range we had reserved. Make sure you go over the driving directions when you leave, as we had no mobile phone service once we got deep onto the dirt road. Follow the signs and you'll get there eventually. I wouldn't drive there with a lowered vehicle or fancy sports car as there is about 1.5 miles of dirt road you have to drive on that's a bit bumpy. Just drive slowly. I didn't check the selection of rentals they had on offer as I have my own toys, but I have heard it is better than most. We got a private range on a Wednesday and it was incredibly cheap ($100 for 2 people all day, $40 each additional person). They bring out steel targets for you to use and then leave you alone to have fun. You can draw from holsters, rapid fire, do drills, etc. No 1-shot per second nonsense, Their public rifle range has steel targets out to 1000 yards so you can see how good your skills really are. Lots of fun steel targets to shoot. You can finally stretch out your rifle and those high dollar optics. For the first time I wished my 6-24x scope had more magnification. I wish this range were closer but it was only about 1 hour from the Pasadena area which isn't too bad at all for 1000 yard steel. I believe it may be the only range in the los Angeles area that has steel out to 1000, as Angeles Shooting Range is maximum 600. I am definitely going to return to this place again soon!

She explains everything in a way that's easy to understand without ever making you feel overwhelmed. The class was the perfect balance of safety, fundamentals, and hands-on practice. I walked away actually understanding how to properly handle and shoot my firearm, which I didn't expect to feel so quickly. If you're even thinking about learning, especially as a beginner, I cannot recommend her enough. She creates such a calm and supportive environment and truly knows what she's doing.

Thank you so much, Jennifer! You're providing such an amazing service for women everywhere!

These guys are great…read more I'd been wanting to get back into shooting for a long time, but I'd keep procrastinating because it seemed like a lot to take on without some assistance. I started talking with Jim one day because I wanted to pick his brain about 1911s and ended-up booking a lesson. He was great at figuring-out quickly what I already knew and was comfortable with, and where I needed new instruction. At the range, he had me shoot a couple of different 1911 designs, as well as a couple of other firearms chambered in the same caliber, so I could get a feel for what I like. My heart was still set on a 1911, though I left thinking about a couple of potential future buys that wouldn't have occurred to me otherwise. After we finished at the range, he walked me through all the options I had at the shop and helped me pick out my first gun. Jim also introduced me to his partner Aidan, who was really great at helping me to get started stocking up on ammo to learn with as affordably as possible. I've already made another appointment for some follow-up instruction after I do a little practice to lock-in what he taught me. If I could afford to, I'd sign up to learn just about anything Jim or Aidan had to teach me. They've both been a great resource to help me get off the ground with shooting.

The content was very informative and I was very grateful to be able to pause and return at my convenience. The day of test, you were given a location to meet in Moorpark.

The entire thing was very organized, and I learned more in this class than I have ever in any previous classes. This is a family owned company and my online training and in person training was probably the most thorough course I have ever gone through.
