Never coming back. I don't think I’ve ever left a negative review on any platform for anything ever. I’ll never feel good about leaving a one star review but if this is how this range operates, potential patrons need to be informed before buying a membership like I did.
I used to have a membership at SBRGC back between about 2019-2021 and remembered it being a great range with varying options for different types of firearms platforms to train with. I decided to reinstate my membership this August (2025).
Since August of 2025 I have driven between 40 minutes to 1 hour on 4 different occasions, 3 of which I was told I wouldn’t be able to shoot on any range other than Range 6. The minimum distance of Range 6 is 50 yards. I had to leave each time because I arrived with the intention of shooting mostly handguns, shotguns, or closer range rifles.
I understand that on the website it informs you that just because the calendar doesn’t specify if a range is closed on a particular day, it doesn’t mean that the range you desire is actually open due to staffing. With that being said, it's difficult to understand why that is the case when I show up and there are 4 RSO’s at only Range 6 hanging out at the check-in counter who tell me the other ranges are closed. I’ll never understand how a shooting range makes it so difficult to show up and shoot.
So let’s say you actually get to shoot when you show up. The one time this year I was able to actually shoot, I was met with confrontational and somewhat hostile RSO’s who seemed like they wanted to challenge your firearm knowledge for no reason. Ive been shooting for over two decades and some of them seem like they wanted you to know that you are junior to them. I thought this was just one guy having a bad day, but I was consistently met with this attitude when I would come back the next three times without even being able to shoot.
Instead of making patrons sign a safety waiver to release liability to the shooter, they do not allow drawing from the holster for any reason even to my Law Enforcement friends (unless you are an RSO).
I initially bought my membership and decided I wanted to volunteer to become an RSO. Now after driving out there 3 times where I was sent home immediately and mistakenly thinking I would be enjoying a nice range day, not only do I not have that desire but I’ve decided to never spend another 2 hours driving out to Dulzura and back for nothing.
