No, we have beginners to advanced shooters.

Yes, our wonderful instructors will provide a safety brief, guidance and support so you may experience the joy of shooting sports. As a first time shooter, attending a Bullets & Bagels shooting event allows one to enjoy a "taste" or "sample trial" of a shooting experience. A "Shooting Event" is by no means the same experience -- in terms of training -- as compared to a full basic or beginner class. Attending a "Shooting Event" is no substitute for attending a formal training class. A formal training class is 5+ hours of strict training, no breakfast, no guest speaker and minimal casual socializing, in contrast to an "Event". In general, we recommend taking a Basic Class before attending your first event, if you have never shot before.

Indoor range events include a continental breakfast — with an assortment of bagels of course — social/networking time, guest speaker/presentations covering interesting topics, generally but not exclusively related to shooting sports followed by supervised range time. All events include “on demand” shooting assistance with our team of volunteer firearm instructors, introduction to collectible firearms along with plenty of experienced attendees and staff willing to assist with mechanical or technical issues. We want the Bullets & Bagels experience to be one with the least intimidation and most assistance as possible for all attendees. Events should be as safe as can be, yet instructional and fun too.

FT3 Tactical Range, Stanton is our “home base.” We also host events at LAX Firing Range, Inglewood. In addition to FT3 Tactical and LAX for events, we use Prado Family Shooting Range, Corona, Burro Canyon Shooting Park, San Bernardino and Evan's Gun World, Orange for various classes.

No. We are “apolitical" and ask our members to refrain from political discussion during events. We believe in political inclusivity, not exclusivity. Members represent the gamut of political affiliations from Progressive Left to Conservative Right. We respect all perspectives, but we understandably expect all our members to be 2nd Amendment supporters, believe in American exceptionalism and Pro-Israel. Nor is Bullets & Bagels a religion-based organization. Although we have a "Jew-ish sensibility", we proud to have members of many faiths including Jewish, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Christian and Muslim.

No. Rental firearms are free and available to Bullets & Bagels event attendees. However you are required to purchase ammunition at the range for use in their rental firearms.

Yes, as long as the firearms and accompanying ammunition are acceptable to the range staff.

Yes & No. Non-members may attend our "Intro to Shooting Basic Class". Intermediate and advanced training classes require club membership. Event attendance requires club membership.

We do not offer family memberships, only individual memberships are available. Membership is only $10.00/month -- with automatic renewal -- and may be canceled after one month. Members may self-cancel or email the B&B Staff for assistance.

Basic, beginner, intermediate pistol and advanced, defensive holster class taught by a 20 year SEAL Team veteran.

It depends. Membership is not required to attend the Basic/Beginner Classes. Intermediate and Advanced Classes require membership in Bullets & Bagels. You may cancel membership immediately after taking a class.

No, absolutely not. 30-40% of our members are not Jewish. Bullets & Bagels proudly has members of all faiths. • We are Jew-ish.

The food is usually kosher-style, not Glatt Kosher. However Kosher accommodation is made when there is a request or the number of observant attendees warrant a strictly kosher menu. If in doubt, please contact us before an event.

Yes, absolutely. We have members of all faiths, gender identity, orientation and race. It is our desire that everyone in attendance has an educational, fun, safe and social shooting experience together.

Yes.

Unfortunately no we do not offer family memberships, only individual. We require all attendees to be a member of the club, even children - over the age of 13 -- who accompany their parents. Membership is only $10.00 month-- with automatic renewal -- and may be canceled after one (1) month.

No, Bullets & Bagels is a registered 501(c)7 social non-profit organization.

We host monthly club "shooting events", exclusively on Sundays. Every other month, we host more than one shooting event. One in Orange County and one in LA County ( i.e. two events bimonthly) 2025 has 18 indoor events scheduled, and 2-4 outdoor events based on interest. Shooting events start early, at approximately 7:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. depending on venue, and ends at 10:30 a.m. Why so early? Because we reserve the range for our exclusive use, hence no mingling with "non-club member" shooters, i.e. the random public Additional social and Zoom events are scheduled on an ad hoc basis, including special guest speakers, presentations and evening get-togethers. We host sporadic training classes -- basic, beginner and intermediate/advanced shooter -- throughout the year. All events and classes are published on the club website.

Yes you may. But please confirm with the range in advance, if you plan to bring a large bore rifle. Ranges have their own rules pertaining to the firearms and ammo they allow. Large bore rifles - i.e. greater than 556 -- and the use of shot gun shells with pellets -- are never allowed. You may also bring your own ammo for use in your personal firearm as long as the ammo meets range staff approval.

At Bullets & Bagels, we warmly welcome newcomers who have never shot a gun before. Our club offers comprehensive safety and training classes designed specifically for beginners. However one may try a "Taste of Shooting" experience at our frequent social shooting events. When you arrive, you will be guided by our experienced instructors through a detailed safety brief, firearm handling basics, and proper shooting techniques. The instructors will then allow you to shoot on the range under their direct supervision. Again, this is different from a dedicated basic/beginner class, and obviously not nearly as comprehensive due to time constraints. We pride ourselves on creating a secure, supportive, and educational environment to ensure you feel confident and comfortable. Whether you are here to try something new or pursue a growing interest, Bullets & Bagels is dedicated to helping you every step of the way.

No. Even though all the ranges have a membership option -- one range in particular is a 100% membership only, private range -- one does not have to be a member of the ranges we frequent to attend a Bullets & Bagels event there. The Bullets & Bagels event fee covers the cost of range access for our attendees. To reiterate, the Bullets & Bagels event fee includes the range access charge, guest speaker presentation, eyes & ears protection, paper targets, "on-demand" assistance by volunteer, certified firearms instructors, and continental breakfast with bagels -- of course!
