Lytle Creek Gun Range

Today was my first time at an outdoor range, so it felt a little awkward as the stations were too close together. I realize it’s typical for shells to land in the stall next to you but this was too close and confined for me. I felt as though I was showered with shells the entire time. Thank goodness for the patience of my friend who was teaching me how not be distracted by what was going on around me.
The location I thought was great, directions provided were poor as it is actually closer to 10 miles from the freeway exit instead of 8 miles. I think the safety check in could be better because we weren’t even asked to show ID. The experience was okay, not what I was expecting for an outdoor range but it’ll do, and please take enough ammo or else you’ll pay double your normal price.

Went here last weekend with my husband and my father-​in-​law, had an amazing time! All of the workers were friendly and knowledgeable, the other shooters were also friendly and nice. It is located in a remote area which is nice because you can be a loud as you want. The only downside is that the toilet are porta-​pottys, also they only take cash!

Save your time, money and frustration. I spoke with them on the phone once, nice and helpful. The people at the shack are nice as well. The cost for entrance, a bit much, ammo and targets also a bit more than most places.
Line staff 4 out of the last 5 times, hostile, confrontational and do not know their job. I had some magazines I’ve had since the early 80s. I get yanked off my gun by this muscled meathead in a gungy T-​shirt and 5−11s acting like Billy Badass! He tells me that any bullet over 10 rounds in my magazine is a felony that rates 10 years! He was ignorant of the preban rule on mags. He proceeded to lecture me on law. I asked him to show it. It was the ranges rule, not a actual law. He hovered around me for the rest of the time.
Most of these types of kids and the old guys who work there on the range spend a lot of time around the women on the range in a manner that would have them called in for sexual harassment training in any real job. They are just that creepy.
The place doesn’t seem to stay open as long as they say. They say the line stays open until 4. But, they shut it down at about 3:20.
The range isn’t bad, its about 100m and you are shooting at a hillside.
The big issue is your line staff playing Mr. Macho and getting in your face more than is needed. At times, you actualy feel as if they are about to assault you when you have to deal with them. And they really do not do jack other than roam up and down looking angry.
They also will finger f, your weapons and gear. And if you fail to lock the bolt back, or they do not know how, they seem to get off on shouting and belittling you.
The line personnel have a power trip where they think they are Drill Instructors which they aren’t. And from their acts, I would question any military experience… it doesn’t show, and if they do, it probably wasn’t in any instructional or range.
Bottom line, you can do better with less of a drive, save yourself the hassle.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for some shooting with my family.
It’s tucked away in the mountains, but you have a beautiful view and a good venue to practice.
The workers in the office could use a lesson on customer service; they were «okay» when talking to us, but a little crass when talking to one another in front of visitors.
Their house targets are $ 6 a piece, but they allow you to bring your own.
They offer discounts for active duty servicemen and first responders, and even free admission on your birthday which is cool.
As for the shooting itself… it was a pretty solid experience.
Our range master was good although not very attentive; some guests were handling their weapons during cease fire (a big no-​no), and the range master didn’t appear to notice and do anything about it.
They also didn’t inspect peoples weapons prior to shooting– they just asked what kind we were shooting and let us go out.
It’s pretty close sitting next to each group when firing, so wear long sleeved clothes and pants because you WILL get hit with shells and casings.
Also, if you can, get the good ear headphones as opposed to the dinky ear plugs as some visitors have some intense weaponry and it is LOUD.
$ 85 for three people, three targets, one set of earplugs… not bad, but not a weekly thing.
It was good, although I wish they were a little more stern about their safety policies and practices.

If you use Waze or Google maps for directions… just keep going all the way up until the road ends. It’ll be on your right hand side.

This place is great. everyone is friendly… good prices. the guy at the range wanted to make sure our experience was going well forgot his name. but he has a big mustache… will be returning for sure.

My wife and I have been to this range on multiple occasions and always enjoyed ourselves. The prices are reasonable: $ 16 per person for the day, $ 6 if you want to buy a target, and $ 1 for a chamber flag. The flag is a one time cost as we have used the same flag on each subsequent visit. Paperwork is minimal and safety is paramount. We like outdoor shooting and yes, we know of places in the local forests where you can shoot for free. But we pay to shoot here because we value the rules the range officers enforce. In my experience they are always polite but firm. And we both appreciate this.

Went there to shoot with my nephews, the staff was very friendly. The prices were kind of, well extremely pricey if my nephew paid over $ 186 for 7 people and a couple of ding dats like ear protection, eye protection, some yellow tags to show the breech is open… really! $ 1 a piece woow. The targets $ 6 well anyways shelling out that much money not my likings.
I go to Dave’s Indoor range at $ 20 a booth, free eye and ear protection and believe me its much nicer than having to stop shooting every half hour to go and put your targets up, at Dave’s push a button it comes to you.
Well overall if you just love spending all that money on a wrist band to shoot, well be my guess, otherwise try indoor ranges, more private and time is enjoyed better.

First time out to Lytle creek and I’ll definitely be back. The staff was exceptional from the girl checking you in, to Greg the RSO working the line.
Greg made the range a friendly, calm, safe atmosphere. He alone is reason to come back. He was friendly and helpful sighting in my rifle. I’ve shot all around the world and attended numerous courses and Greg is top notch!
Oh beware your required to have a chamber flag, if you don’t they sell them for a $ 1. Also you need to provide your own target and structure otherwise it’s $ 6.

Was a little pricey but the range officer was very friendly and helpful. They were okay with Tulammo and didn’t even check what kind of ammo we had. Was pretty cold compared to Orange County so bring a sweatshirt.

I was nervous about going because of all the bad reviews, but I’m glad I did. Other than the guns, the Range Master was the best part of the experience. He was great, very nice, funny, and professional. He didn’t give anyone a hard time. It probably helped that there were no numbskulls at the range. A pro RM and people at the range who know what they’re doing make for a great time. They have a repeat customer for sure.

Let me just start by saying that I’ve read all the reviews and I have a simple question… Who in their right mind brings their dogs to a shooting range? Do your dogs have ear protection too? Simply crazy…
Now to the real review…
I was in the Marines, so being on a range is nothing new to me. I’ve shot plenty of times in the BLM area in Perris Ca, and there is no way I’ll be going back there ever again, sure Lytle creek gun range is over an hour away, but its about «SAFETY». The range officer is suppose to make sure you are being safe and not acting like an *&^&*(*. When I’ve shot in Perris it’s like the wild west, you are changing your target and some person is still shooting…
Lytle creek was awesome. I mean what is the big deal with picking up your own brass? We shot for over 2 hours and had a great time. i had targets at the ⁵⁰⁄₁₀₀ yard line (I was sighting in a new rifle). I had absolutely no problems what so ever. $ 16 per shooter is not bad, for what you get it’s not a bad price. I will definitely be going back.

Lytle Creek is run the way a shooting range should be run.
I have been here shooting twice in the past two weeks. All the staff I encountered were friendly and made my wife and I feel welcome. Some of the negative comments on Unilocal I find hard to understand. When you check in there is a minimal amount of paperwork which takes only a few minutes. Parking on the firing line itself is plentiful with easy access to your vehicle. Yes, there are rules but they are simple to follow and are provided for safety.
Fred was our Range Safety Officer and I found him to be professional, courteous, respectful and attentive. Fred does run a tight ship but that’s as it should be — after all we’re firing guns not playing tennis. If you can follow instructions and look like you know what you’re doing he will give you your space. If it’s your first time he will orient you. If you have questions he is available.
Shooting at Lytle Creek is a pleasure. I’ll be back.

Hadn’t been to this range in a few years and I can now say this change in ownership has truly made a difference. The people that work here are happy to be working there, I’ve noticed a few vets are now working the firing lines as range masters. These new range masters do a great job and are actually cool with their customers. They do their best to make sure you are having a good time. Love that they have swinging ar500 targets fown range, something extra to shoot at. I recommend this range to anybody wanting to get some rounds down range.

The last time I was out here I hated it. The range masters were jerks and the ladies in the office were mean. After going back last weekend all of that has changed. All new staff, they are great! Great customer service when you check in and excellent range masters now. They are kind, helpful, and respectful. I’ll definitely be going back and recommending this place to everyone!

Had an excellent time here. I’ve been to a lot of ranges and I feel that this one is far better than others. Being able to shoot rapidly, any ammo, and having iron targets at 200 yards makes a huge difference. 16 $ is a little on the high side since you can’t share lanes at a discount but I’ll take it as it’s only con.
My range master was a really nice older fellow. So many times I had to deal with some douche bag who has a power trip. He did a really good job giving me avid time to shoot and then switch targets out with everyone on the firing lane. The clerk was also a sweet older lady and I was about to buy a target from her when she told me to just dig in the trash can to find a post and put my own targets on.

Price for adults is 16 $ and children is $ 8 which isn’t too bad. It’s best to come early before place gets crowded.
«If you purchase a gun bring the receipt & you will get a $ 4 discount. One receipt per person and has to be within the first 60 days»
Both shotgun and rifle area are clean. Usually don’t see too many people in the shotgun area, most are shooting rifles and handguns.
When shooting handguns, make sure your muzzle is out of the canopy or you will be told. You have been warned. Rangers can be mean so learn all rules about guns before coming here.
Oh! And try to wear long sleeves and long pants, because once those bullets shell hit you… It’ll burn like hell.
You can only leave when they call a cease fire, don’t leave while it is still hot, they will hate you.

Last time I was here it was a long time ago, back then there was no rangemaster, heck it wasn’t much of a range at all, Just a hill a water heater and maybe some bowling pins set up against the mountain, Now, WOW it was amazing adequate space clean porta potties that didn’t stink, Excellent customer service and the scenery you cant beat it, I was on the 300 WinMag,(Trying), My father was on the 10/22(nailing Everything), 50.100.200 yards not a problem… We will definitely be back, hopefully once a week!
Thanks Everyone

I had high hopes for this range, however I left extremely disappointed. For one its a little on the pricey side but it’s convenient so I wasn’t going to complain.
What really bothered me was the attitude of the employees there, from the people in the check in booth to the range masters.
In all my experience in various gun ranges, range masters tend to be the coolest people around. Extremely helpful with weapon safety, tips on shooting, etc. The range masters here just treat you like children and talk down to you like they are the be-​all-​end-​all of humans.
Rather than simply give instructions, or remind you of the rules, they have condescending attitudes to try and make you feel stupid and make them feel better about themselves and their menial job. I’ve got an idea, rather than try to be a jackass when giving someone instructions, it could be helpful or beneficial to actually be nice to them.
I will confidently say that I will never return to this gun range, ever. We were all so completely rubbed the wrong way by these people it was incredible. Customer service can go a long way, and so can having nice employees. Please train your staff to not treat people like idiots.

Review as a spectator: My family really enjoyed this place. The staff was friendly and helpful. Restrooms (porterpotties) were very clean and smelled good.lol. $ 1snacks inside middle age kids welcomed as long as they dont mind the noise because its so loud. I did take my nephew he’s 2. He did good. They were strict but its for our safety and alot of idiots dont listen so I understand. All the shooters loved it here and we’ll be back.
