I've been coming here for several years. The environment is great and the range safely officers are a great help. Although it's a long drive for me, I will still come here.

Had a great experience at California Tactical Academy! A big shout out to Tom for helping me zero my Hellcat pistol. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain proper shooting technique with a military style approach. I really appreciated his hands on help and the effort he put into getting me dialed in. I’ll be sure to bring him a six-pack of Diet Coke next time he definitely earned it with his hard work! 😂 Highly recommend this range!

Went to a range for the first time here at CTA. Wasn't sure at all what to expect, to be honest was a bit nervous. Range safety officers are amazing and the shop is well stocked. Very friendly staff and very good prices. Beautiful drive out and great range. I would highly recommend this range to anyone regardless of experience.

Was here last week and found I couldn't eject a new mag I had just bought. Tom assisted and found that the lip on the mag was causing a hang up. He filed it down, we reinstalled and it worked great. Thanks Tom !

A big thank-you to Tom for all his help at the range! I brought in a brand-new scope, and he helped me get it sighted in. He also came back to check on me several times to make sure everything was dialed in and I was doing well. I really appreciated his patience and the personal attention. That extra effort made my experience a great one. Thanks again, Tom!
