The range is hidden behind some farm area off the main road, so be sure to keep your eyes open for the small dirt road that will lead you to the range. As soon as you enter the gates, you'll see the pistol range and if you head straight in, you'll see the longer distance range. You'll need to be a member or with a member to access the range. All the members I interacted with during the match were very down to earth, friendly, and outgoing! There were also some newer shooters and the members were very helpful in making sure they felt comfortable.

We are desperately in…read moreneed of ranges here in the Bay Area & in the last number of years many have closed (RIP: TargetMasters, Lake Chabot Range and Guns, Fishing & other stuff). That said, they have various ranges to shoot clay pigeons, on the lower area of the range. On the upper range they have a rifle / pistol range. They do offer memberships, which of course affords you cheaper range dues. I believe regular range dues are $30 and for military (active duty / reserve / guard) it is $15 The outdoor rifle range goes to 100 yards max, with mounts for your target every 25 yards out to 100. Each shooting bench has a spotting scope, where you can zoom into your target to track progress. They ONLY allow shooting from the seated position on this part of the range; no off hand or prone shooting allowed. The courses of fire are about 24mins; with clearly defined & painfully obvious cease-fire periods. NO rapid fire is allowed, so don't expect to come here & be able to mag dump. There is a pistol range area to the left of where I fire my rifles. They very much scrutinize safety, so LISTEN to the Range Safety Officers. Stand BEHIND the red line during cease fire periods. It's almost to the point of being FUDDs, but I cannot / will not throw shade at them for running a disciplined, safe, orderly range. The ONLY issue I ever had there - I showed a lady (white lady, in her late 30s - early 40s) my military ID. She says "The discount is for ACTIVE duty only". (That's incorrect the entire 20+yrs I was in the reserves, they always honored the military pricing). So I had to edify for her that I am *actively* serving in the reserves. 100% of businesses that I patronize that offer "military rates" don't stop and say "Wait, you're a reservist - that's not military enough" Service is service, full stop. Once I verified / explained things, then she honored the pricing in question. That was a one-time issue and it totally was NOT malicious, I think it was more of a knowledge/training issue. Anyhow, it's a good range - Great way to decompress, clear your head, focus upon what you're doing. A day at the range, working on the fundamentals of marksmanship & safe hunting rifle / shotgun use is ALWAYS a win in my book!! Come spend the day out there with me, I assure your it's a grand ole time!!

Recently went here with my wife hoping to introduce her to firearms for the first time…read more Unfortunately, it ended up being a pretty awful experience. At the range, one of the range officers on duty decided to use our rather expensive range time ($30 an hour/person) to give my wife an unsolicited lesson in how to handle a gun. For context, prior to going, I went through the trouble of prepping my wife for the range, teaching her how to handle the gun safely via dry fire practice. I tried communicating this to the range officer, but he insisted on giving my wife the lesson anyway. He spent half of our shooting session giving her an awkward, overly hands-on, borderline physically intrusive, lesson, getting closer than necessary. By the time he was finished, we would only be able to shoot a few rounds before the next cease fire was announced. The range master himself that day would make pretty belittling comments to me, often insisting I should do things a certain way that I felt were closer to arbitrary preferences than actual objective rules. For example, he told me I should move my target up to the 7 yard line (it was originally at the 10 yard line) because my groups weren't as tight as he thought they should be. All in all, we had a pretty terrible experience with this place and will almost certainly not be coming back.
