Our students range from beginner level citizen who just wants to have an understanding and confidence to use and operate a firearm in a safe manner to law enforcement and military. Our instruction is taught from years of experience and what actually works under stress.

In the world of professional shooting, including Military, Law Enforcement, and devout Civilian practitioners, these people may spend hundreds of hours and thousands of rounds to finely tune their skills in the art of firearms.

Here at Self Reliance Security Training, we believe that anyone can achieve a high level of competence (KNOW), skill (TRAIN), and can Master (PREVAIL) any weapon for any situation…be it recreational or security for oneself and their family. The gun range that we use is located about 45 miles north of Escondido. It is a private facility and one of the best shooting ranges in the area.

It is very important to have a qualified instructor who can provide personalized instruction for you.
