Firearms training in East County San Diego
We’re headquartered in Santee and our ranch range is in Dulzura. For El Cajon, Santee, Alpine and Jamul, that means a short drive to every pistol, rifle and CCW class, and home-defense training at your own front door.
Why East County students train with us
Many San Diego ranges are indoor bays where you can’t draw, move or shoot a rifle past 25 yards. Our classes run on an open private ranch in the hills near Dulzura, minutes from Jamul and a short drive from El Cajon and Santee.
