Shooting Socials

Education and outreach have been at the heart of San Diego County Gun Owners (SDCGO) from day one. We’re proud to offer meaningful opportunities that grow the shooting sports community and educate voters about their rights.

If you’ve ever been curious about firearms but didn’t know where to start—this is your chance!

For just $60 per person, you’ll get a safe, fun, and educational introduction to shooting, guided by our diverse team of experienced volunteers in a welcoming environment where safety always comes first.

👉 No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity—we’ll take care of the rest!

 

Here is what your experience includes:

1. 👥 One-on-one mentoring with an experienced volunteer

2. 🧠 Safety briefing in a classroom setting

3. 🎯 2 hours of range time

4. 🔫 Gun(s) to learn with

5. 💥 50 rounds of ammunition

6. 🎯 Paper target

7. 🕶️ Eye protection

8. 🎧 Ear protection

 

This is a $100–$250 value, but we offer it for only $60 to make it accessible and unforgettable.
