    This range is such a blast! The service is exceptional a man with a really cool beard helped us out and was so kind as it was my first time! The selection of guns are also pretty vast I have never shot a gun before and this place is wonderful for beginners to learn. For two people it was about 120$ for an hour of shooting and via groupon it comes with glasses and ear protection as well so the value for what you pay was pretty good! The staff are also really nice and patient, especially when teaching beginners and they have a great video that explains how to deal with the guns! I will say if you do want to come to the range I will leave the staff like it more if you make a reservation through phone call rather than doing it via Groupon because the website is a bit wonky so if you're interested in shooting guns, even if you're a beginner, this place is definitely where to go! It's also really safe as there were so many cops practicing their shooting skills as well!

    PWG has now gone with a membership only business model. You have to have a reservation for time on the range, and you cant make a reservation without a paid monthly membership. The guy I spoke with on the phone didnt seem to have any information on the new reservation changes and didnt seem to care. I wont be going back.

    Shooting from the 50yd lanes.

    This is my go-to range as it's the closest to home but also has the best facilities in San Diego for an indoor range. If you shoot regularly, it's a good idea to get a membership. If you wait for the summer they have 3 month memberships that will also waive the initiation fee should you convert to a full time member. Facilities are clean, well lit and safety is a strong focus for the staff. The rental counter is pretty well stocked and recently included the new to CA Walther PDP and Springfield Echelon and more surprising, the $2,700 ($3200 OTD), Staccato P4 HD. Prices for guns is higher than other LGS but given it's attached to the most modern range in San Diego, it's unsurprising. Great place to take a class or if you're an experienced shooter to go get some trigger time in. I took my CCW class with Tom Fitzgerald and was not disappointed.

    Best shooting range on the west coast. Great selection, fair rates, fantastic staff, and the number of training classes they have available are expensive and fairly priced.

    bullseye!

    i took my husband here for his birthday and he loved it! i am not a fan of the gun range, but surprisingly i enjoyed myself! this gun range is very big which i liked because the gun sounds were able to travel so it wasn't veryyyy loud like at other gun ranges. and since it was big, people were not to my left and right which personally i liked! i loved that an employee was inside with us which gave me a better sense of safety! all the employees were friendly and helpful which helped ease my nerves! i liked how they had funny and unique targets which made shooting a bit more fun! i thought i was going to spend more; however, i ended up spending less than i thought i would so that was a win for me haha! this was the best gun range experience i've had so i may be back! but my husband will definitely be back and he can't wait!

    The metal net on top of the divider has a gap due to the florescent light and that is where casings from the adjacent lane coming in

    Ask the Community - PWG Range

    Will you conduct private party transfers?

    Absolutely! Just come on in and we will get you going.

    How much per lane if you are not a member?

    Depends on the range itself. The 100yd lane is $35, 50yd lane is $20-25. And the 25yd is $15-$20

    Hello, do you do individual instructions to someone who does not have gun experience at all?

    When we went with no experience, they just told us the rules to follow and go shoot at the gun range. You'll also have to watch like a safety video. If you need help, they'll tell you to ask someone in a red shirt. The workers are really friendly so… Read more

    Do you allow customers to holster their firearms in the bays?

    Not unless you've completed courses taught the range.

    Do they supply ear protection?

    You have to buy it

    Do they allow rifles, like 22mag, 45, 44-40 basically a lever rifle?

    We allow any caliber firearm up to 50BMG.

    Do you guys allow Tula range safe ammo on your range?

    No steel cased ammunition is allowed.

    Is there Air conditioning on the Shooting Range?

    Yes, venting is fairly good. The 50 yard range seems to be the busiest and therefore gets more "smoke", the 100 yard range next busiest. The 25 yard range in my experience is… Read more

    What are the different weapons you can shoot at this range? If it says on the website, I apologize. The site won't come up for me right now. TIA

    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!

    Bearly Training - "Hi Speed" training is always available.

From the outset, the focus on accuracy when drawing and shooting from concealment was essential, and the smooth progression to incorporating speed felt natural and intuitive. The instruction on shooting from various seated positions, including both the driver's side and passenger's side, was incredibly valuable--especially learning how to shoot effectively toward your strong hand side as well as across your body to the opposite side. It was great to have the opportunity to practice these techniques in a controlled environment and a great instructor. You can dry fire all day, but there's nothing like getting out and being able to train and learn these techniques with live fire. The sounds and adrenaline are very different from dry firing or simply shooting down a lane, making the experience much more realistic and beneficial. The drills, which included both individual and team exercises, were engaging and enhanced our interaction. Egos, if any, were left at the gate and Lee's teaching style stood out--his approach made the class enjoyable and interactive while ensuring that even those with minimal experience (me), as well as veterans with over a decade of shooting (including competition shooters), walked away having gained new insights. I highly recommend this course for shooters at any level. Even if you excel in competitions, this course prepares you for the unpredictability of real-life situations, equipping you with the skills needed for those critical moments. Thanks Lee!

The tow truck I called was unable to commute uphill for service. I'm a female and was in a scary situation. Your security Atlas Defense group had a man on duty named Brandon San Miguel. Brandon was beyond professional, he offered his help and gave me a sense of comfort, introducing himself and his job title. It started to get dark, he changed my tire and was an absolute guardian angel. I'm not from this area, I was by myself and I had terrible cellular reception. This security company/ security guard saved me!! This is the right team to hire to secure property/ premises, they go above and beyond in case of emergency situations as such! I am extremely grateful beyond words for this gentleman for exceeding his job duties and taking measures into his own hands and providing help to me. Thank you, Atlas defense group, I honestly don't know what I would have done. Having this security there, and having this individual Brandon on duty was such a blessing. I appreciate the safety measures your company has and the upmost professionalism your company holds. I cannot express my gratitude enough. I will be praying blessings upon that man and I deeply thank this security company for hiring someone with such high morals and work ethics! This speaks volumes for this security company.
