The facility could make some improvements. The smell of cat urine and litter was grossly overwhelming. At least 3 people (including me) had allergic reactions. The restrooms were dirty and it looked like someone had an accident ON the toilet seat in both restrooms.

I was visiting from out of town (Oakland, CA) and stopped in to shoot. It was a weekend afternoon,…read moreso there was a bit of a wait. All in all, it was worth the wait. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It sounded like they made special accommodations for myself and some other shooters, by opening up the "tactical" range, since there were no members shooting at that time. That was awesome, because it got me on the range sooner. I also brought with me a new firearm - Canik Mete MC9LS with a new optic. I forgot my regular range bag with my tools; however, the range staff allowed me to use one of their tools to adjust my new optic. I don't know how the targets move on the regular range, but on the tactical range, you can push buttons to automatically set the targets at a specified distance, move the targets manually back and forth, and automatically have the target return. Best of all, the prices were very reasonable. $20 per lane and $0.50 targets - WAAAAAY better than prices in the Bay Area. If I were a resident of the area, I'd definitely become a member. (I overheard one of the staff members informing another customer of the benefits and price.). Top Notch outfit in my opinion.

I attended their intro to handguns class, covering the basics of safety and proper form, and getting in some introductory shooting experience. John, our instructor, was very engaging and great at commanding attention when needed and building up the class's confidence. Afterward, I took them up on their 'newbie' offer of free range time and rental after class. Kevin signed me up for a lane, let me rent a couple of handgun models I researched previously, and critiqued my targets, giving some general feedback and advice. He also pointed me toward a couple other models that are known to be more friendly to left-handed shooters that I can test out in the future. Great place; a little on the older and smaller sides, but staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive. I get the feeling that as I 'shop around' for my go-to range there's a strong chance I will gravitate back here, since these guys are passionate about what they do, and seem to want to inspire that passion in others. Definitely will make it a point to stop by again.

TJ is a wealth of knowledge and helped developed this course for the NRA, so we are getting training from the source.

The one surprising skill was learning how to teach concealment from a purse. This was eye opening. If you want the best use ALLSAFE.

I recently took my first firearms course with the KIT Group and it was an awesome experience. I had…read moreno experience with a firearm going into the course and was a bit nervous to hold a gun for the first time but they really made me feel comfortable and most importantly SAFE the whole day. After learning the basics and shooting for a while we moved on to fun drills like, moving around obstacles and hitting your target multiple times in the "upper body kill zone". There was over 5 girls in our group and we all cant wait to go back. The instructors Beau, Caden, Keali'i (a standby medic), and Jason made us all feel very welcome and safe on the range the entire time. They are all very professional and clearly take pride in what they do. The KIT Group provided everything to the group, firearms, holsters, ammo, ear protection, glasses, etc. I walked away that day feeling confident in handling a firearm. I cant wait to take more courses with them in the future. Thanks KIT!

Whether you're looking to learn something for the first time or train and develop existing skills they've got you covered.

So if you're looking for a team to help you take your training to the next level or just want the confidence to use a firearm for the first time look no further. The KIT Group can definitely help to get it done.

He goes way beyond basic stand-and-shoot drills and really pushes students to think, move, and shoot with purpose. In the more advanced pistol sessions I attended, we worked on movement, using cover correctly, engaging multiple targets, and tightening up fundamentals under pressure. In the home defense shotgun course, I learned how to maneuver the shotgun in tighter spaces, use optics effectively, and handle different target distances with much more control and confidence. What really sets Apex apart is the way Brett explains the "why" behind every drill, tailors feedback to each shooter, and maintains a serious but respectful environment. You can tell he cares about building safe, responsible, and capable shooters. If you're looking for legitimate defensive training in Orange County, I highly recommend Apex Defensive Strategies!
