Best range in central San Diego where I can bring my own ammo?
What’s the best option for a range close to downtown San Diego where they are ok if I bring some of my own ammo? I am not a huge fan of Discount Gun Mart but that’s where I’ve been going. Any other options I should consider that let me bring my own?
Thanks! |

I wouldn't call DGM central..... I'm kind of not sure there is any range that doesn't allow you're bring you're own ammo.
I've kind of gotten over the inside ranges honestly....hit me up if you wanna hit SBR&G I love Southbay Rod & gun, outside, porta potties and less nonsense. I'm actually looking at Lemongrove R&G... matches and nightshooots, the fun stuff. I just need a sponsor

I saw some Yelp reviews that The Gun Range in Kearny Mesa didn’t allow outside ammo. The person was complaining about the cost because of their apparent rule against outside ammo. Fair point about DGMs location. I live downtown near PETCO Park and it’s the closest to me. I really like Poway Weapons and Gear but it’s a good 30-40 min drive for me. And yeah, let’s go to SBR&G sometime. Although the other poster in this thread who said the road in will mess up my suspension definitely didn’t make it more appealing! |

I shoot at TGR SD plenty of times and I'm sure you're allowed to bring your own ammo. I've always done it. They just don't allow certain types of ammo.

Granted, like most ranges, you need to purchase their ammo if you plan on renting. Also, I've seen people shoot wolf/tula steel cased bi-metal here.

I would suggest South Bay Rod and Gun club of which I am a member. http://sbrgc.org/
Pros - 300 Yard Rifle range - 100 Yard Range where you can shoot steel - They don't care if you shoot steel penetrator ammo (M855) or steel cased ammo - Really cool Range Officers who are very competent without needing to scream at people - Shaded booths - $100 dollar year membership Cons - Middle of nowhere (45 - 60) min drive southeast of san diego - Dirt road leading to range is textured in a way that it will kill your suspension - $25 dollars a range session (Just get the membership if you plan to come back) - Not a lot of bathroom facilities (Bring baby wipes?) - No place to get a drink(maybe I missed it?) bring your own water and food My second go to range is the Gun Range San Diego https://www.thegunrangesandiego.com/ Pros - New facility very clean and well ventilated - Very nice and knowledgeable staff - Several ROs always around Cons - Not that much parking - Not that many lanes - Long wait during peak hours - Won't let you shoot steel ammo Last edited by SkylineGTR06; 10-05-2017 at 10:25 PM.. Reason: Added another Range |

Do you have to bring your own steel, or is it theirs? |

If you shoot handgun only....
The San Diego Police Revolver Club is just off the intersection of Home Av and Federal Blvd (just north east of 94 at Home Av), couldn't be any closer to downtown. Hours are usually 09:00 to 15:00 everyday except Monday (I think). Ammo might be checked by Rangemaster, along with your firearm. 25 yards only, outside (beautiful) and $10 to shoot as long as you want for the day. 38 positions, no fire stoppage due to a tunnel to reach your targets. Open to the public, no membership, unless you wanna. Saturday mornings has no more than a dozen usually shooting on the 38 position line. You will need to park on the street, no lot parking (not sure why). Eyes and ears are a must. Been going there since the mid 1970's and it's a great place to shoot! See ya there! |

sounds to me like you want to bring your own ammo but shoot rental guns? no range here will allow that. if you rent a gun at a range, you can only shoot the ammo that they provide/sell.

Nope. Never said that. Not sure where you got that idea. I saw a Yelp review for a range I hadn’t been to that made it sound like they had restrictions on ammo, since the review didn’t specify whether they were renting or bringing their own guns. The location for that review is a new-ish spot and I couldn’t tell from their site if they had weird rules. There aren’t a lot of good indoor ranges close to me and I have been looking for a good local option. |

The Gun Range only makes you shoot their ammo through rental guns. Mainly because at least that way they know what's going through them instead of people just shooting whatever brand through it or reloads that malfunction.

TGR SD won't allow anything larger than a .308 or 30.06, I believe. DGM isn't too bad, but I haven't been there in a while. If time permits, SBRGC will always be the best.
That TGR SD's $5 fee after 5pm on Tuesdays, I did not know about that! I'll remember that. |

Yes it is. I had a bad time there a year ago - went on a weekend as a non-member and ended up waiting about 1.5 hours to shoot on the 100yd lanes, because members jump the line.
Will not be going back.

As a Member of PWG, besides front of the line privileges and discounts- Total cost to shoot there as much as I want is ~ $25 a month. The hours and convenient location make it worth it for me. Otherwise- SBR&G is awesome.
