I've been thinking about finding a pistol range in the SB/Ventura area (I work in the former, live in the latter). Any suggestions? I guess I would need to buy a handgun, too. The old Mossburg might be overkill.
If you live in the Ventura area then you might like Shooters Paradise of Oxnard, 1910 Sunkist Cr., Oxnard, CA 93033 805-486-1177 Also check out http://www.nrahq.org/shootingrange/findlocal.asp?State=CA. I belong to the range in SB www.wcgc.org. You might give Far West Guns on State Street a try if your are in the market. There are MANY good shops around.
