About Splitz second shooting FT&S, LLC

Splitz Second Shooting is a firearms training business in Oceanside, CA, where reviewers describe concealed carry classes, firearm safety courses and one-on-one sessions, and several say the owner teaches the classes. Reviewers describe a classroom portion followed by practical time at the shooting range, and several say the instruction works for people who have never handled a firearm as well as for experienced shooters.

Most reviews center on CCW classes in Oceanside, CA. Reviewers mention an eight-hour CCW course, a 16-hour CCW course, and renewal and recertification courses for returning students. Several say the teaching leans on real-life scenarios, and one reviewer describes the class as "more like a conversation" than a PowerPoint presentation. Reviewers who describe the range session say the instructor gave corrections on technique and accuracy.

Beyond CCW, reviewers describe a handgun class with hands-on training in the classroom and on the range, a session of about an hour and a half that moved from a classroom refresher to the range, and a private lesson with one-on-one instruction. One reviewer took an eight-hour firearm safety course, and another booked additional sessions for their family after a first class. One reviewer mentions a small shop on location.

Two reviewers say parking is plentiful, and one of them adds that the location is convenient for people who would rather not go south to San Diego. A different reviewer who lives about an hour away says the drive was worth it. Splitz Second Shooting teaches in Oceanside, CA, and its reviews come back to the same themes: a knowledgeable instructor, scenario-based teaching and range practice that follows the classroom.

I went to this facility to do my CPR training and the course was very thorough. It was a great training, hands on learning and the instructor was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

I took a training course with Ricky and came away really impressed. He has a way of breaking things down so they actually make sense, without making it feel overwhelming or dry. The session stayed engaging the whole time, which isn’t easy for a three-hour class. After that first experience, I felt comfortable enough to book additional sessions for my family. Our main focus is making sure we handle firearms safely at home, and his approach puts a strong emphasis on exactly that—clear, practical safety habits that stick. What stood out most to me was the range time. Having someone experienced right there, giving immediate feedback and corrections, makes a big difference—especially if you don’t have much background. I’ve now gone through two sessions with him, and both were well run and genuinely useful. It’s not just about learning the mechanics—you leave with a level of confidence that you didn’t have before. If you’re looking for serious, no-nonsense firearms training with a strong focus on safety, this is a solid choice.

Recently went to obtain my FSC, and had the best experience. James oversaw my test, and we went over all my questions afterwards. James is altogether, knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to talk to. James goes further into the practicality and nuance that many other instructors may miss. He highlights all the importance and serious nature of being both a gun owner/operator or someone who would be around firearms in general. I would recommend anyone who is serious about equipping themselves with the right tools and knowledge on firearm safety to go check them out!

Splitz Second Shooting with James R Sanders was the best experience we have ever had . His experience , professionalism , along with his patient demeanor was bar none. My husband and I at age 66 felt so comfortable handling and learning about gun safety with his undeniable knowledge. Going back for further instructions on getting our CCW . Thank you so much Rick ! You’re one of a kind !

A true professional. His Marine background is evident and a real enhancer to the topic. I took the CCW recertification course. It was significantly better than the prior CCW recert course. The instructor knows weapons, ammo, techniques and the law. The vignettes of courtroom scenarios were realistic and fluid as he played the role of a prosecutor questioning you as the defendant who had used deadly force. The venue is small but very adequate. Check out the bear skin on the side hall wall! Information required to pass the examination was covered thoroughly - albeit a bit quickly at times. The practical portion at the shooting range was, again, thorough and exacting. I learned a new technique of unloading and reloading the magazine with arms close to the body. Mr. Sanders examined the two targets used for accuracy with comments and advice offered. A learning experience in spite of being a recertification. An experience worthy of recommendation to others.

If you want the service to be slow and to redo your fingerprints come here. The process was a struggle and I had to come in again to re do the Livescan prints and wait a while for them to get approved. I ended up having to go to another company to get my Livescan fingerprints done successfully. And they were approved the first time within days. DO NOT GO HERE FOR LIVESCAN FINGERPRINTS.
