RANGE FAQS
Never been to a gun range before?
No problem, you are in good hands. We promise to make this the most comfortable and educational gun range experience you’ll ever have. We’ve put together a short list of things you’ll need to know before entering the range.
- Proper attire is vital for your safety. No open toe or heeled shoes are permitted on the range.
- First you’ll need to first complete a short safety test. Poway Weapons & Gear Range requires every shooter take this test annually to ensure everyone has a clear understanding of our range rules and proper etiquette for others. You can do this upon your arrival or you can save time and do it online. Start the survey now
- If you are a novice or a first-time shooter, don’t worry about it. We have expertly trained staff available to give you a more in-depth safety brief and help make you more comfortable with firearms and range safety. We are here to ensure you have the best experience possible.
- We do require safety glasses and ear protection to be worn at all times.
- If you are going to rent a firearm from us, know that we cannot rent to a single shooter. You’ll need to have another person with you or your own personal firearm on the range in order to rent one from us.
- If you are bringing your own firearm and ammunition with you to the range, it must meet our safety specifications before being allowed on the range. If you have any questions about this, please contact us.
- Ensure you have thoroughly read through the Range Rules.
