SD SAR has reserved a black powder/muzzle loading training session.
The site is the Escondido Fish & Game Association range at 16525 Guejito Rd
Escondido CA 92027 near the east end of Lake Wolford.
The class would run approx. 6 hours including range time.
Date: April 25 2026
The class will start at 8:00 am and wrap up midafternoon. The gates will open 30
mins early.
Cost is at $175 cash per person. That covers classroom and range usage fees. This
can be paid in full the day of the class.
You will need to bring the guns, black powder, shooting and cleaning patches, bore
cleaner and lube, eye and ear protection, ramrods, lead round balls, and any other
supplies pertinent to the muskets/rifles you bring.
There is a small restaurant a few miles away but I recommend bringing a sack
lunch.
NRA Muzzleloader certificates will be awarded for each participant.
The early signup to get a printed certificate is:
