FT3 Tactical

Friendly service, quick n easy. Welcoming environment. I will come back next time, perhaps on Mondays and Thursday; free gun rental (not sure how long the promotion lasts)
There was one issue that I cannot give it 5 stars, I went there with a buddy, we shared the gun and it was the Sig Sauer P226 .40 cal that we had the misfire. Could have been worse, fortunately, we are still breathing
Okay, maybe two, they did not clean the guns after we returned them to switch to a different gun. Perhaps they wait until the end of the shift to clean them? *shrug*
Overall, the experience was good, it was my first time trying out. New experience rocks, felt intimidated at first but after a few rounds, felt at ease.

I am new to Guns and have very little experience with official shooting ranges. It was very intimidating going here and I felt as if I was suppose to know what I was to do. There was very little direction or assistance. I am very interested in purchasing a gun however will not be returning here due to the lack of assistance, organization, general support. I have heard great things about this place in the past; needless to say I was not impressed and will not be returning.

I went with a group of friends yesterday, and I am a first time shooter. I have to say I was terrified when I first went in. I got a small instructional from my friends, who are all seasoned shooters. I shot a few rounds, and then I was pretty much over it. Then I got a little instructional from one of the experts there. I don’t remember his name, he was very tall and had a long ponytail. He was amazing, he made me feel much more comfortable and showed me everything I needed to know to be safe, and comfortable. He spent a lot of time helping me and my friends, and every other shooter there. I’m not sure if this is the practice at every shooting range, but this is some of the best customer service I have ever received. I will not be going anywhere else!

This was me and my 12-​year-​old daughter’s first time shooting. We went with my dad, my brother and my husband and had a really great time. The facility has really nice décor (beautiful rock wall lobby, fountain and Zen-​like planters) and the staff was really friendly and knowledgeable. We shot my dad’s German P38 and my brother’s Ruger. They also have a bunch of guns that you can rent, so we rented a .22 for my 12-​year-​old. Ears and safety glasses were provided at no charge. We bought a couple of zombie targets because my daughter loves «The Walking Dead.» Inside the shooting lanes, the staff was so helpful. The main guy (I wish I could remember his name — he’s so funny!) showed me how to shoot a gun properly and how to use the P38. But the thing that impressed me the most was that my dad lost his hearing aid amongst the shells. He left his number, but we thought he’d never see it again. They actually went to the trouble to find it and get it back to him the next day! We will return again. One thing to know: the weekends are busy and members get priority, so you will probably have better luck getting in quickly during the week. My daughter is begging to go back next weekend!

Unless you’re willing to fork over a stack of bills for their ridiculously high membership cost, prepare to wait in their lounge over and over again. You see, the members can come in and get front of the line privileges. So get ready to watch party after party be ushered in while you wait around in the «lounge».
Don’t bring a nice rifle/​optics. Half the ROs are haters who wait for the chance to tell you you’re shooting too fast.
The coffee is the only reason this place merits a star. Never coming back.

For target indoor shooting range, this spot has a waiting lounge. It seem legit, but waited in-​line for a while. A little short staff. Been to other spots, this is has helpful staff inside the range room to help you or what not. I would not mind going back.

Absolutely awesome gun range.
With up to date equipment and a very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
I have noticed these guys really go out of their way to help and ensure the safety of first time shooters as well as novice shooters who are 5 feet away from first time shooters.

The people that checked us in (asian guys) were amazing. They had an amazing sense of humor and helped us a lot being our first time there. I didn’t feel rush at all and they gave us a lot of information, I’ll definitely be back. The price was reasonable and they have someone at the shooting area making sure we don’t do anything crazy.

FT3 has friendly staff. There are some days you have to wait but they have a tv and complimentary coffee. This is a place you should check out. You can shoot shot guns and ar15 here.

While the range itself and those processing shooting lanes are nice enough, their supposed policy on Private Party Transfers (PPT) sucks and is probably illegal under CA DOJ guidelines.
EDIT: Yep I was right, see:
(Grounds for Forfeiture of License)
So I am transferring a rifle to a close friend who is getting his first gun.
He gets to FT3 Tactical ahead of me and is looking around waiting for me. Counter person asks if he needs help. He replies he is waiting for seller to do a PPT. CP indicates «we don’t do PPTs».
Friend calls me back and I said «What? He is an FFL he is required by CA DOJ to do so.»
So I get there, an indicate «we are trying to do a PPT and you said no.»
He said «that is correct». I ask «aren’t you an FFL»?
We are an FFL «on Weds only from 2−4pm and only if we have sufficient staff.»
«How will we know you have sufficient staff?»
«You can call ahead of time.»
I will bet if we wanted to buy a gun from them, they would all of a sudden become a full time FFL.
Needless to say we were pissed. So is this part time PPT two hours only per week if we can BS Good customer service? You be the judge.

The facility is superb! I came to test out the new Glock and enjoyed my time here. Staff is friendly except for this older Caucasian lady who seemed really loud and aggressive towards what seemed to be her staff. Customers don’t want to hear you, thank you. –1 star.

I’m a first timer. I also hate to admit how scared I was driving into this place in a random alleyway and how more scared I was when I first entered the the range.
The staff was super friendly and helpful. We came in as a group of 6 to finish off my friends birthday day and it was 40 minutes till closing. We ideally wanted to shoot for only 30 minutes anyway and they guys were really nice about it and didn’t seem grumpy that we came in 20 after 9. They charged me for an hour even though it was only about 30 minutes of shooting, but that’s probably because they charge per hour, bummer…
There are a variety of targets to choose from, and I chose the shooting gallery because it looked like an arcade game to me and there were more targets to shoot at. Each additional target is $ 1.50 and it’s nice to keep as a souvenir.
After evaluating our drivers licenses, the employee also saw it was friends birthday and gave us a 10% off card for next time. We definitely do want to come back.
Like I said, I am new to shooting but my positive experience here with no problems even right before closing made me enjoy every bit of it. And oh, the bathrooms are even clean too.

I really liked this place. People working here were all very nice and didn’t give you attitude. My brother and my 14 year old nephew were new to shooting and the guy behind the counter couldn’t have been nicer to them. What I liked too was that the place was clean and a place you could bring a family to. Some ranges I’ve been to look like dingy spots that shady people might go to, but not this place.
Some ranges make you buy like a $ 20 annual membership, then pay a per visit fee, then purchase their ammo. Not this place, $ 20 for the first 2 hours and $ 10 for an additional shooter, buy your targets, use your ammo or buy theirs and then you’re off to the range. Range Officers goes through the rules with you and then you’re off firing.
Lanes are ample and you can shoot up to 25 yards. You can rent shotguns and handguns for $ 12 and long guns for $ 20. I think that’s a decent price. It’s a pretty chill spot and a lot of fun. I hope people check it out.

FT3 Tactical is the newest addition to Orange County’s indoor shooting ranges and has become one of my favorite local places to shoot. The staff here is helpful and safety conscious which is a BIG plus for me. Safety should Always be paramount, especially when you might be shooting next to someone who may or may not know how to handle a firearm safely. There was also a range officer attending the lanes. I can appreciate that. If you don’t have any firearms but want to shoot, they do have a rental section with a decent selection. No matter for me though, I bring my own as most people do. If you don’t have time to run all the way out to the desert but live near the OC, pop in and check this place out. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

After a long day of driving around trying to find a decent gun shop to pick up some supplies, we finally made it to the range.
Pulling up, this place looks like any other business in a white concrete tilt up. But when. You walk in you notice how clean and well decorated it is, especially for a shooting range.
As far as shooting is concerned all the regular is here and nothing special. I was taken back to how friendly the staff is. Most places like this, golf shops, paint ball stores, cigar shops, comic shops, etc… have bunch of snobby jerk working that make you feel bad for not know what they think they know. Not here. These guys were awesome. Helped me out a few times when I was having trouble with a new glock. I’m so bad with names, but the guy the helped really took his time and explained it in a way that I could understand. Thanks dude
I highly recommend this place…
Until next time

Jacob, the RO was super helpful. Having trouble locking back after last shot. Jacob even brought me out an all steel mag which worked. So now, I kind of know what the problem is. Mahalo nui loa Jacob
