Clay Disneyland is the best way to describe this place now that it is under new ownership (RIP Tom Ebert founder of Coyote Valley Clays). The facility caters to new and experienced shooters on a beautifully maintained world class shooting facility. The facility offers Trap, Skeet, and of course sporting clays. The pro shop offers FFL transfers, cold beverages for sale, and swag (T-shirts, hats, pins, stickers etc.) to show off your school spirit. The staff is extremely helpful and they have BBQ on the weekends! A+ facility! read more

Re: Anoop and Grove Group intro to pistol class. As a person new to pistol shooting, I found the class informative. The little detail Anoop teaches and his "crawl, walk, run" teaching techniques helped me be more confident in the use of the fire arm. I would recommend the calss to anyone interested in learning about pistols. read more

This was my first time trying clay shooting, and it was super fun! We didn't even know there was a clay shooting range in Morgan Hill until our friend brought us here. The check-in process was smooth, once you arrive, you sign the wavier and watch the safety tutorial, then head to the counter to register. The staff were really friendly and patient. I went back to rent a smaller shotgun, and he helped me find one that suited me, which made the whole experience feel welcoming and encouraging. There are many clay stations you can roam around the site, too. Highly recommended! read more

Excellent focus on safety and detailed demonstration on accuracy. Explanation on stance, breathing and correct grip. I'd highly recommend not only for first timers but a great refresher for anyone wanting to get back into the sport. read more

I love this place. I've taken a bunch of people here, from newbies to more seasoned folks. It's a great place for beginners since they rent out the guns so you don't need to worry about needing your own equipment. I've shot at a different ranges and this is one of the best ones I've been to. Coyote Valley Sporting Clays offers great prices for what they offer. If you have a small group, you might consider sharing a shotgun if you will be taking turns anyway at the same station. They have a wide variety of sporting clay stations to practice various shots. There are rolling rabbits that bounce across the terrain and flying pigeons that come from different angles. It's nice to be able to try practicing different ranges. Highly recommend coming to Coyote Valley if you're interested in trying out this sport! read more

Coyote Valley Sporting Clays in Morgan Hill is hands down my happy place. The drive out there is beautiful, and once you're on the course it feels like a little escape tucked into the hills. I love that it's set up almost golf course-esque, with a multitude of stations and even golf carts you can rent to ride around which makes the whole experience that much more fun. Each station has something different to offer: high throws, quick short ones, and even bouncing/rolling clays that always keep me on my toes! The staff is fantastic! very friendly and welcoming. They really made sure everyone was having a great time whether it was your first visit or your hundredth. Another thing I really appreciate is that they offer personalized private lessons by appointment and experience packages, which are perfect for brand-new shooters or even veteran shooters looking to sharpen their skills. It makes the place truly welcoming to everyone. For me, it's not just about shooting, it's the setting, the people, and the variety that make Coyote Valley Sporting Clays so special. Whenever I go, before I can even step foot off the property, I'm already planning my next visit. read more

I've been duck hunting for a few seasons and thought it was time to tune up my shot. Tom came highly recommended to me by one of the staff members and I'm very happy we worked together. From the beginning, Tom was very attentive and mindful of what was important to me to work on. After just a few lessons, I'm much more confident with my wing-shooting and determining lead. I plan on making my partnership with Tom long-term, especially before the start of duck season. Thanks, Tom! read more

Spent the afternoon at Coyote Valley Sporting Clays. It's a beautiful facility with tons to do! There are multiple stations to shoot at. Come check out the BBQ on the weekends. I recommend the Tri-tip and brisket sandwiches. I love the skeet, trap and sporting clay stations. Novice and Expert shooters alike will enjoy the courses offerings. Can't wait to come back. read more

Another, great day at the range! I might have a reincarnated, Annie Oakley Thank you, guys she had a BLAST!!! read more

Absolutely awesome experience! They had 18 different shooting stations. Each with something different from the rest. The grounds were clean and well kept. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have an outdoor area where they host group events (I'll have to look into booking something for our group in the future). For both my husband and I we spent $120'ish and that came with 3 boxes of ammo and the shot gun rental (we shared our shot gun). It was my first time and the attendant was awesome at showing me how to handle the weapon, to safely load it, and how to safely walk around with it. I'd definitely like to come back again. read more

I went here again with family, and it was yet another amazing experience. We got the experience package which included an instructor. The reservation process was very easy (online). The instructor (Gary) was phenomenal - he was patient, funny, careful, and helpful. If you're going there for the 1st or second time, an instructor is crucial. After that, the range is pretty easy to navigate yourself. They had an interesting spot where a rabbit (clay) would go along a slope, instead of in the air - and I loved it. Overall a great experience that I would recommend to anyone. read more

I've been a long time customer, great team both in the office and on the courses. It's worth taking the time to get there and shoot, the experience package is great, and well, it's the right thing to do for anyone wanting to get into the sport! read more

I'm an avid sporting clay shooter. And i travel frequently for work. Its nice when i find a place to shoot sporting clays while traveling. I've shot coyote valley maybe ~5x. I really like it. But feels different. Feels more like a golf club\zoo compared to most gun clubs out east. The place is big with stellar views. I think there are ~20 stations. And there is a big loop walking path that takes you to all of the stations. Its ~1.25 hr from sfo 30 min from sjc. As you come in ,you drive into a canyon. Its cool it feels like you are in the wild west. You go left at the fork, don't hit any cattle. Theres a large parking lot that places you near the club house. Heres where it gets a little californiee, you have to walk around to the side of the club house, check in with a ranger, watch a safety video, and pledge your soul away. Then you have to be buzzed in to you a really nice club house that has all sorts of stuff to buy: snacks, drinks, ammo, gear, and T-shirts. In the club house is where can rent gun, buy ammo, and buy your birds. You pay per the bird. So no show pairs unless you pay for them. Its not cheap but worth it. And if you are renting a gun you have to buy their ammo. Ammo is more expensive in CA. Its a card system. All throwers have delays and work well. Each station has two or four different thrower, mostley two. Its cool because you shooting up a sandy mtn instead of shooting down a valley of trees like at home. I usually shoot the first 10-14 stations because i'm on some sort of time crunch. They do not have courses. They just give a blank score card after and then its a choose your own adventures to which station to shoot. Watch station ~5 where the bird shrapnel rains over you. Most people at the gun club are either with a guide or they are first timers. The staff does a great job explaining things. They are good ambassadors of shooting sports. The nice thing is you do not get an outsider feeling like at some old timey gun clubs. Net its a great experience. Beautiful gun club. Price can get steep, but how often do you get to shoot in california? Shoot straight and have fun! read more

Fantastic place for a morning of safe family fun. The stations, staff, service and rentals are all superb.

There were 6 of us in our party. Three were regulars and three were newcomers. We rented three golf carts for 2.5 hours to shoot some clays and ate some yummy bbq afterwards. I highly recommend. read more

Vary good place to go clay shooting, "I think it's a 100 round station range but don't quote me on that" they have golf carts you can rent with shotgun racks on them as well. Check in is easy as they have a table with DIY computer check in. Now I did not come here for the shot gun range, a couple of buddies and my self took a 4 hour private training corse, yup that's right the 3 of us got 4 hours with a private instructor on a separate range all to ourselves C; the range we used was vary cool, it had a western theme to it and reminded me of frontier village. if you can remember that place. See pictures. Ant way needless to say I had a great enjoyable day on the range. read more

I've now been to CVSC twice. We had such a great time at our first outing, that we came back just a few weeks later. Everyone who works there is helpful, professional, and no 'egos' like you might find at other places. The grounds are very pretty and well laid out; you can rent a golf cart, but we've been just fine walking the course. While the parking lot might be full, you will never be competing to find an open station. On the weekends they have BBQ offered for lunch, which has also been great. Overall, a nice way to spend a day outdoors and blasting clays. "Golf with a shotgun". read more

I'm not a gun person. In fact, this was the first time I ever shot a gun in my life. It was a great first experience! The place is off the grid and at the end of a super long and bumpy road. We had a guided tour. They set you up with a shotgun, ammo, protective glasses, ear buds and more. A plus of having a guided tour is you don't have to wait at each station; you get to go before other people there on their own. Definitely challenging, but fun! Our guide was nice and taught us a lot. You're trained prior to going into the field for various challenges. There wasn't too much recoil and the gun wasn't too heavy. Both my mom (58 years old) and wife (small size) were able to handle the guns without incident. read more

I have been a avid shooter since I was a child growing up in the Bay Area, I stopped hunting because I didn't like dressing the game and it seemed for me was to easy to drop birds. I left the Bay Area in 1990, my place to shoot was the East Palo Alto skeet range which was closed long ago after I had moved to Nevada. I just went to this site on Saturday to investigate and was totally blown away with what I saw. I'm coming CVSC lol! P.S. Coastal deer are cute and I saw a bunch there, I went after White Tale and didnt like them either, beef is better. read more

I came here for a Wounded Warrior Womens event. When we got there they gave us the brief and broke us up into 2 groups. We each got 50 rounds to shoot as a package. Our guild walked us through it since it had been a long time since any of us has shot in the military. I was the one who got out first. We had a great group of veterans and was so nice to bond with other female veterans. Once we were done shooting we sat down to eat. I had the tritip sandwich. It was REALLY good! Everyone said that their food was delicious. read more

Coyote Valley Sporting Clays - Tritip sandwich, VERY good! - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Been a member here. Always have a great time. They have a great variety of stations to challenge your skills

Very friendly , customer service was excellent, very safe, fun, and new customers are sure to feel welcome.

We did the main course at Coyote Valley with 3 other family members. Our experience level varied but none of us were inexperienced. Registration was efficient and everything was explained in great detail. The four of us shared one shotgun and we did rent one golf cart to help out one of our party. All 18 shooting stations were challenging but fun. A few stations had clay equipment malfunctioning but the office easily provided credit. The walking paths are not for those with mobility problems and they could use some TLC. The main office has plenty of supplies if needed and snacks. The bbq area was closing when we returned at 3 pm which was a bit disappointing as we were hungry. Safety is very important here so make sure you have ear & eye protection if you want to shoot. Very enjoyable weekday afternoon. The range can be very hot during the summer months so bring a hat and take water while on the course. read more

My two clients (friends) and i had an amazing time. Annie, who did our intake with us was super friendly and had a welcoming smile. The front desk staff was great, answering questions and directing us on where to go. We chose to have an experience package. I brought my 12 gauge while my buddies shared a 12 gauge rental. Terry assisted on the course, choosing the stations that he thought we would like. Terry was super friendly, helpful and patient. It was like having a caddy at the golf course except we knew which club (shotgun) we needed ;-). When we were done with our experience, we had some of the best BBQ. We had the ribs with potato salad and baked beans with a cold beverage. It was one of the best outings we (literally all three of us) have ever had. read more

Great place to visit. A buddy and I went here for the Experience package. We had an awesome experience and actually hitting the targets was very rewarding. Look forward to coming again and definitely recommend! read more

Fantastic experience! Came here as a first-timer, and everything was extremely streamlined and COVID-friendly. There are several tubs of hand sanitizer around and an outdoor sink to wash your hands! When you arrive, you are greeted by lovely personnel. There are socially distanced ipads outside where you can fill out the waiver form. Then you watch a quick video on gun safety, which takes less than 5 minutes. You then go inside and purchase your package. Everything was explained very thoroughly, so we never felt unsure or unsafe. We also appreciated the attentiveness to COVID/sanitization (ie, our personnel wiped down our IDs/cards after handling them). Ear buds and protective glasses, which are required, can be purchased. The courses themselves were great. There's a wide variety of stations with varying degrees of difficulty. In general, each station has 2 clays that get launched. All in all, this was an absolute "blast" and we will surely be back soon! read more

Once you finish traversing the gravel road, you'll arrive at a decently sized parking lot. Park and then head over to the pro-shop. Immediately on your right, you'll find the help desk and main counter. If you're here to shoot, go ahead and visit the tablet area towards the back left of the shop. There's a small TV that plays the Coyote Valley safety video that you need to watch prior to filling out the waiver form on a tablet. Once you're done, you can visit the main counter to get a station card and purchase ammo, and rent shotguns/safety equipment. Eye protection rental is $1 per pair of glasses. Ear protection ranges from $1 - $2 depending on the ear plug you pick out. Shotgun rental is $15 per gun. I think each clay disk you trigger is about $0.40 or so. Fiocchi Target Loads || $7.95 Box of 20 gauge, 2.75in, 7/8 oz, 1210 ft/sec, 8 shot ammo. The regular ammo for shotguns here. Fiocchi Target Loads Low Recoil || $8.95 Box of 20 gauge, 2.75in, 3/4 oz, 1075 ft/sec, 7.5 shot ammo. The low recoil makes the ammo better for beginners to shotgun shooting since the gun has a bit of a kickback. Of the two boxes, the regular ammo definitely has better performance since it's able to travel faster than the low recoil ammo. The Coyote Valley Sporting Clays Main Course is composed of a trail that loops and then becomes a straight path. There are some inclines and hills you might encounter when moving from station to station. You can rent a golf cart from the pro-shop if needed. Every shooting station is different. To activate the station, just insert your station card into the clip holder. There's a controller with buttons that you then use to activate clay release. I recommend going around the course and watching others shoot to see if the way the clay disks come out interest you. The clay projectile motion mimic the actions of how birds/rabbits move in the wild. Some might swoop from the right/left/front/back of you. I initially was terrified of shooting and the loud noises made me nervous. But after learning the safety procedures and giving the sport a try, the experience here was enjoyable. Overall a fun place to shoot clays/trap/skeet. I recommend giving Coyote Valley Sporting Clays a visit if you're looking for a different activity to try out. read more

Found this gem on Yelp. I had my birthday last week and I was looking for something fun to do. Basically, it is a golf course with golf carts and you go hole to hole and there is a total of 20 holes. Replace the word "golf" with "Shotgun". Basically, it is a shotgun course with shotgun carrying carts and go hole to hole and there is a total of 20 holes. They give you a score card and if you'd like you can rent a shotgun and purchase ammunition. It is quite competitive. I was able to go with my brother, we did bring our own shotguns & 7.5 target shots. We probably shot about 75 shells each. The lady that helped us out was super nice and fun! She was knowledgeable in her trade and gave us some pointers. During check out she gave me two free candy bars for my birthday. Safety; as safe as can be. Ears & eyes are required and so are masks. Two shells per gun. You go to a hole of your choosing, you do not have to go in order. You put this key card on the machine and you use a button pad to fling the clays from position A, B, or C. Afterwards, they charge you per clay ($0.22). Then you sanitize the controller with hand sanitizer. If you don't want a cart you can walk or you can use a push cart. It feels like you're at a golf course/country club. I will be back 100% due to the wonderful customer service that I had received. read more

This place is Excellent! The staff are kind and patient especially with new shooters. My instructor Ron S is AMAZING ! He determined that I am a Left Handed shooter, even tho I write with my right hand. Once I made the change I was dropping clays like a Pro! Always listen to your instructor. The grounds are like going on vacation even tho I live 20 min away.. beautiful scenery. I highly recommend Coyote Valley especially if you want to be away from the "Rambo" types of shooting or shooters.. Only respectable clay guns (Non Tactical) and trained shooters are allowed, a welcome break from other places that have people shooting carbines with scopes at 50 yrd targets. This is my weekly Zen place. read more

Came recently with a group of friends to partake in their Experience package ($84 pp) and had a great time. None of us had ever handled a shotgun before, so it was the perfect introduction to all the basics from how to hold one safely to aiming the proper way. A couple things to note: -For the Experience package, you need to make a reservation in advance for a minimum of 3 people -They provide everything you need, including cheap ear plugs. We all had sunglasses so didn't need to rent any eye protection from them -We had 7 people in our group, so they split us into groups of 3 and 4. For larger groups, you won't be able to stay together -The main course, which is where you'll be, has 20 different shooting stations, each with varying levels of difficulty -You will be walking from station to station, and depending on which ones are already being used, you might end up walking a little bit on the uneven dirt path. I wore sandals and was fine, but most people I saw were wearing sneakers -It took us roughly 2 hours to finish. I'm sure you can do it faster, but our guide was pretty chatty and there were four of us in the group, so we took longer than the other group of 3. -It's dusty. Don't wear white or any other clothing that will easily get dirty if that's something you care about -There aren't too many food options here. There was one bbq truck but by the time we finished around 2:30, they were out of food and closing up for the day. If I come here again, I'd eat first before coming read more

First time shooter here. Coyote Valley was an awesome experience for me and a group of guys celebrating together on Saturday! Since I was a newcomer, I had to watch a safety video and check in with my California Real ID (if you don't have the Real ID you'll need a passport). Since we brought our own shotguns, we didn't have to rent but the rentals were cheap! $15 minimum and $0.15 per shot. We also bought ammunition here for $8/25 shells. There were plenty of stations with varying levels of difficulty so I was able to find a few for my experience level. Staff was also very active driving around on golf carts making sure each machine was working properly. You shouldn't need to rent a golf cart if you don't have an issue with walking. Each station is a 30 second walk from the previous one at most. Overall, I had no idea how affordable something like this could be! And it really is fun--even for first time shooters! If you're nervous about trying it or on the fence about guns, give this place a shot! Bring some experienced friends to show you how it's done. It may change your viewpoint! read more
