Escondido Fish and Game Association

Great experience for myself and the kids. We went out for handgun safety training for my four boys age 8 to 18. They learned all about firearm safety and did some target shooting. The facility was clean and the staff knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone for basic firearms safety training course.

Another match here, although very few attendees, Paul H runs a great match. I feel super confident there and safe.
Really a crisp cool morning and although my performance was poor I had a great time.

As a new member, I’m pleased to find such a well run organization. The commitment to safety is unparalleled and definitely welcomed. I’ve trained with individuals and large companies alike and find this program to be superb. If your looking for somewhere to «mess around», don’t waste your time coming here. You will be asked/​told to leave. They have programs for all skill levels.

My husband has been looking all over for a place where we can take classes on how to shoot. Our instructors were Jack and Ed. Ed was my favorite!!! He’s super attentive, very detailed and knowledgeable. Extremely supportive, considerate and such a great teacher! I learned a lot in the very few hours that I was there. We started off with donut and coffee, took a two hour class, hands on gun shooting lessons, and then took the test! Past !!! Got our license and certificate !!! I shoot better then my husband btw…

I really can’t review to much the Escondido Fish and Game Association as I am not a member, but a guest.
Membership to this great range apparently has a 2 year wait list, and requires you to be part of the NRA.
Regardless I came for an Appleseed event, and am probably coming back for a pistol steel challenge.
While it doesn’t seem as massive as some other ranges, it is beautiful and well up kept. The range itself is located inside a wildlife preserve and the surroundings forest and mountain backdrop is gorgeous. Most out door ranges I’ve been to are against some large mountain in the desert with vast expanses of nothingness.
While the longest range I believe was only 150 Meters, the back drop was literally green forest and trees behind the berm, and it was quite gorgeous. The range has actual decent bathrooms, a large BBQ pit area and is quite organized.
Definitely different than your run of the mill outdoor ranges like Angeles or South Bay Rod and Gun in which it actually feels like a little community. I can see where the membership dues goes to.
While I would probably never get a membership here (That wait list is a little daunting, and the range is quite a long drive up a mountain from where I am) if you are in the area this place is second to none. They have tons of competitive events, and seems family oriented. Quite awesome.
