    Good local spot to practice. Very helpful staff, and I even stumbled in unknowingly on a discount day. Was transitioning from a revolver to a pistol and having some technique issues. They gave me pointers and helped me make my adjustments. Overall a great experience and friendly crew. Will return.

    Shooters paradise is a great place to shoot. The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and the selection is second to none. It's a bit rustic but I think that gives the place a unique feel. It's makes you feel you are somewhere safe and fun. I have been taking my family there for over 12 yrs. And have never had a bad time. I recommend them to all my family and friends.

    I cannot say enough good things about this place! Every single employee has gone above and beyond for me at some point. Especially Yuri! I bought my first pistol here as a beginner. She was kind and patient with me. She helped me with getting my shield modded by the gun smith to make the safety and slide release easier on me. Then when I found out about the sig rose she let me not only hold hers but shoot it to see if I actually felt it was a right fit. She kept me updated on both guns for my pickup, and when the mods were complete. She gave my mom and I safety pointers and gave us important advice. She cares and shows no judgement. I plan on scheduling lessons with her soon, her personality and understanding of each firearm has shown me as a beginner so much comfort with no embarrassment. The boys behind the counter have also been phenomenal. From helping me understand which cleaning kit will work better for my gun, to giving advice, to helping me with my shield. I had a malfunction with my shield and when I brought it in, Jamie went above and beyond to see what could have gone wrong. I have never once been made to feel dumb. I have a lot to learn and the entire staff at this establishment has given me patience and grace through my learning. I might be biased, but a this point I have 0 interest in any other ranges or gun shops as I have grown such a love for this place. I wish I knew the names of the other employees as they deserve a shout out as well. When I shot the rose to try it out I had hung my target a little too high and didn't have an easy loader with me. One of the boys helped me place my target in a proper position and then offered me to borrow an easy loader. The facility is well maintained and clean as well! I love this little place. The drive from east end Camarillo is worth it every time. Thank you to the entire staff at shooters, especially Yuri, you all have had a hand in helping me grow my confidence, making me feel comfortable, and guiding me to purchase the best fitting firearm for myself!

    Great indoor shooting range. They have 14 lanes with everything you can possibly need. You can rent guns, ear protection, eye protection. You can also buy ammo and targets that are very reasonably priced and always in stock. There is also a gun store located inside so you can buy firearms and almost anything related to guns after testing a test and a background check of course They have a deal going on that if you buy any firearm you get 50% off any membership SCORE! We took this deal to get a 4-person one year membership for $250 no more spending each time we go. Staff is very friendly and answers my million questions I have without making me feel dumb Thank you Shooters paradise for getting me hooked! I only was planning on going once to try it out and now I have a group membership and plan on going a lot more

    Ask the Community - Shooters Paradise Of Oxnard

    Would I be able to zero in my laser?

    Yes

    Is drawing from the holster allowed? If so, are there specific requirements and/or times

    No, nor is it allowed at any indoor range I have ever used.

    Can you shoot a 5.56 AR?

    Yes

    I'm in Oxnard visiting family. If I'm from another country I can go there just to practice?

    I would suggest to call and make sure first. Most likely, as long as you have some form of identification from wherever your home country is, you should be fine. But again,…

Arrived last week to gain some more knowledge from my fav range master Tom. His patience and skill level is impressive. He is constantly sharing tips to help me improve. With his help, my compression of firearms has completely broadened, from maintenance to new types of pistols I'd never heard of. I plan my range visits on days I know he will be there because his teachings are something I truly value. It's pretty amazing to know that it wasn't long ago this was just a "fun once in awhile activity," and now, because of this range master, I'm entwined into this whole new level of firearms and firearm safety. We bring all our friends and fam to this range because of him, especially first timers. Everyone leaves feeling positive. This is our go to spot and we will continue to come here to learn from the best!

I started talking with Jim one day because I wanted to pick his brain about 1911s and ended-up booking a lesson. He was great at figuring-out quickly what I already knew and was comfortable with, and where I needed new instruction. At the range, he had me shoot a couple of different 1911 designs, as well as a couple of other firearms chambered in the same caliber, so I could get a feel for what I like. My heart was still set on a 1911, though I left thinking about a couple of potential future buys that wouldn't have occurred to me otherwise. After we finished at the range, he walked me through all the options I had at the shop and helped me pick out my first gun. Jim also introduced me to his partner Aidan, who was really great at helping me to get started stocking up on ammo to learn with as affordably as possible. I've already made another appointment for some follow-up instruction after I do a little practice to lock-in what he taught me. If I could afford to, I'd sign up to learn just about anything Jim or Aidan had to teach me. They've both been a great resource to help me get off the ground with shooting.

    I'm a first time shooter (other than a BB gun as a kid). I had a two hour lesson with Coach Don and…read moreI'm really pleased with the amount of education and hands-on instruction I received in such a short amount of time. We spent the first hour of the lesson on classroom instruction. I learned the history of the most common hand guns used, why someone would prefer one type over another, the differences between single and double action, and how different handguns suit different individuals. Don made sure I felt confident handling the different types. By the time we entered the firing range, I had learned proper stance, range etiquette, how to load a magazine, and the importance of proper technique when racking the slide. But the most unexpected thing I learned was that my nervous system (as a first time shooter) would be taxed. He explained that my first shot would likely be my best shot because once I knew what to expect I would begin to anticipate and I would have a bit of a "fight or flight" response. I never would've expected that and so when it happened, I was well prepared. Even though most people know to expect the sound and the kickback of a weapon, you're not really prepared for it if you've never done it before. Sure enough, my hands got shaky, my breathing got shallow my heart rate raised, but he coached me on how to relax and breathe through it. I was pretty proud of how well I did and I really look forward to my next lesson!
