Not bad
Javier H.

Ok I been shooting in Livermore range for ten years. I live in Walnut Creek but the range in Livermore is very comfortable and nice place to shoot plus all my friends are there . So I tried US today I liked it a lot it's less then 10 minutes from the house that's big plus . Livermore is 30 plus miles from my home too far . It's not that I can't afford the gas it's the idea it's so much closer . So it's always weird to start shooting at a new place the range officer I met was very nice walk my thru everything easy to talk too . I really enjoyed my morning thanks to everyone at United Sportsman thanks for your patience you just got a new customer. I even retired my Livermore hat and is now sporting a new dark blue United Sportsman hat . See you guys next month . I did shoot up here years ago under an old ownership. I did forget to mention you can sit in the pistol area that's a plus especially old guys like us I retired to the bench with a 22 lr it was great

LOL bad factory ammo at the trap range. Bad luck .

This is further than I'd like to drive but because it's such a nice place for me to visit I'd drive an hour to come here. The people here are nice and professional. The place has pistol range, rifle range and trap/skeet fields. It also has private bays for lessons. I love coming here for traps because it usually not crowded on the time I come and things work. I don't have to fumble on equipments. They also sell reloading and ammo that are usually cheaper than local stores. The pistol range can be crowded but it's well run and I feel safe there. Overall my favorite outdoors range in the Bay Area. In fact I liked it so much I paid for the VIP membership which basically covers the $8 bridge fee coming from the Peninsula.

Loved " What an incredible training experience! From the moment I first reached out, Dan answered right away and even created a detailed training plan I could share with my department -- his professionalism really stood out. Louie, Barry, and Theo made me feel so welcome throughout the course. Louie showed true patience and care, saying something that stuck with me: "I measure my success by the success of each student." Barry was my quiet "whisper" when it came to taking each shot -- his calm guidance and expertise made a huge difference. And Theo, thank you for lending me the equipment I needed to train safely and confidently. This wasn't just a class -- it was a confidence-building, skill-sharpening experience. I'm truly grateful for the Paladin Tactical US (Concord) team. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality training! Sincerly , Claudette H.

Ask the Community - United Sportsmen

I don't own a gun yet -can I use a rifle from the club?

No, they don't offer gun rentals.

Can i use s45 in this range to practice?

The answer given earlier is not correct. USI uses a ft/lbs calculation and seeing that the SS45 is basically a big bore airgun with maybe high 9mm energy. You are more than welcome to utilize the Public Rifle Range. Currently the Multi-Purpose range… Read more

If my friend doesn't have an ID will a passport suffice?

I would think that a valid US Passport would be sufficient. But best to call - they are very responsive!

For standing rifle shooting, can you shoot from high / low ready with a shot timer or is it quite strict on *how* you can do your shooting?

That kind of shooting is generally reserved for the MPR which currently is under construction and closed to centerfire rifles and pistols. We are working swiftly to open the MPR back up for normal operations.… Read more

Is .223 FMJ is allowed?

Yes it is... Green tip however is not.

For the rifle range is it strictly 100 yards or do they have closer targets?

For the Rifle side there are 25-50-75-100 yard targets stands.

What calibers of ammo are for sale at the clubhouse? Specifically curious about 9mm.

Ammunition at the club house is normally limited to Shot Shell... The Rifle / Pistol Range Office is where you can purchase reman and factory ammo in varying qtys and cost depending on your liking.… Read more

Are Shotguns allowed at the range? If yes what type of shells are allowed? Birdshots, Buckshots or Slugs...?

Trap/Skeet ranges are birdshot only. Pistol range is slug only. No shotguns on Rifle range.

What is the process and fee for non-members to show up and shoot, and why is that not on the website?

It will cost you 20.00 to shoot. Go to there web site an take there safety test. When you arrive they will give you a safety card an then your set.

Are lead bullets allowed?

Lead only (no steel cores).

What is the latest time they will accept people for pistol shooting?

Last call on Rifle/Pistol is 4PM in the summer and 3PM in the winter.

Is there gun rentals on site?

We do not offer rentals, generally only indoor ranges offer them.

What caliber rifle is allowed? I've read only .22 lr rifle was... but I'm not sure... thanks in advance :)

Center fire rifles are allowed on the newly reopened Public Rifle Range (up to 338 Lapua).

Are 9mm full metal jacket ammo allowed for pistols in the pistol range?

Yes. I think the only restriction is for steel core bullets due to possible sparking and fire hazard. Lead core FMJ is fine.

Do I need to bring my targets or I can buy them at the range?

You are provided a standard paper target. They also sell shoot and see type targets.

Whats the range fee?

Rifle/Pistol is $9 for members of the 5 clubs and $20 for the public.

Hi, are other pistol calibers, such as 9mm/.45, open for the public and not just members? How about .223 or 5.56 for shooting ARs or other centerfire rifles? Are .22LR the only kind allowed?

Kulraj - The range is still limited to members only TILL Friday May 15th. Both Rifle and Pistol… Read more

That last question was a valid one, but I'll be more specific. When will the pistol range remodeling be completed for those of us who enjoy shooting .357, .38, .38 Special, 9mm, and 45 caliber handguns? And yes, I know "after" the SIP ends.

Hi Gary, Ill be honest Im not sure what you are asking. You have answered your own question. The… Read more

The most frustrating thing about this club is the lack of solid, competent information about WHEN the pistol range will reopen... it's been closed for years with vague promises of "updates" to the facility. WHEN will it finally reopen?

Its open to members now... stop complaining... go shoot.

Is the pistol range open or still under construction?

Up until the SIP the pistol range was open for members only on the weekends. There was still some work to be done before the rifle range was able to be opened (fencing, etc).

I purchased a Staccato online and they listed this place as a vendor that they ship to. Having…read morelived in Walnut Creek for a few years, I was actually surprised to see that this place exists. It's real and they've been in business for 10 years or so. Ronnie was super friendly when I reached out to him. Apparently, he communicates via text only which is totally fine. He was able to communicate everything needed to properly purchase. I also appreciated that he texted a picture of the back of the building because the location is tucked inside of a block and hard to navigate if you've never been there before. Michelle helped me out with paperwork and she was super friendly. They both treated me very well and were very helpful when it came to helping me with my transaction. While their transfer fee is the most I've ever paid, it's important for me to support local shops like this, and because they're appointment only, it feels good to be the only person in the store. Overall, I plan to have all of my future online purchases go through this shop. This is an A+ establishment. Some tips for people considering coming here: - Ronnie is text only, but is pretty quick to respond. - The building that they're in isn't exactly visible from the street. - Ronnie doesn't sell to people who hunt animals and is pretty transparent about that. - They're cash only.

Primo Tactical (recently renamed) made my first firearm purchase a positive experience. Ronnie and…read moreMichelle are genuinely great people and made the entire process simple, comfortable, and educational from start to finish. As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions, and Ronnie took the time to walk me through safety, components, what to look for, current regulations, and responsible ownership. Being former law enforcement, he really emphasizes education and making sure people understand both the responsibility and the laws that come with firearm ownership. They've moved away from the traditional storefront model and are more selective with who they work with, which made the experience feel much more personal and trustworthy. They're also great for transfers and ammo. They didn't just sell me a firearm and send me on my way...they connected me with trusted people for training, cleaning, and maintenance as well.

This is a cool LGS (local gun store) that has tons of guns. Given the space it's packed with pretty…read moremuch everything if you are into guns. It has guns/ammo/reloading supplies and accessories. What makes the shop unique is that they have a lot of stuff in new guns/used guns/consignment. I came here because my friend was able to find that they have the gun he wanted whereas everywhere else pretty much sold out. I happened to find something here also not found anywhere else. They have this no haggle policy posted everywhere so at least it saves you the trouble of wanting to get a "deal." The price is standard but not over priced. They also helped me to ship a gun that needed to go back to factory even though they didn't sell the gun (which is interesting because some stores won't do it unless you bought the gun there). They did charge me but it's not super expensive and they don't charge anything extra like storage fees or other processing fee so I considered it fair. Once again they have a lot of stuff and I found a couple items there that are low priced than anywhere else but you have to look for the ones you want. Good service and I like the people there. No BS but not money hungry like the ones near the peninsula. Parking is weird as even though they have the parking lot it's full even in the morning before the store is open but at least you can find parking on the street nearby.

It was my first time buying a gun and I told him that and the way he was talking to me it made it seem like he was trying to make me feel stupid. He needs to learn how to talk to people. But I bought the gun anyway because they were the only ones in my area who had it. Now the pick up process was great. I was helped by I believe his name was PK. Asian dude with glasses and a black hat. He was extremely nice and showed me all the safety tips and how to properly handle the gun. Im most likely never gonna shop here again because of that rude guy who first helped me. Now that I have the gun I want I will take my business for ammo and parts somewhere else. I really hope the managers read this review and tell that guy he needs to work on his people skills. The guy is a complete jerk.

I could not find my paperwork as I was interested in selling the firearm. I called, explained my situation, and that all I had was a receipt with the name Chelsea. They transferred me to Chelsea and she said se'd look into. No response. I'll called back and she said she emailed it to me. She sent it again. I didn't get it. I called and she suggested looking in my Spam folder. It wasn't there. I called back and asked if she could send me a paper copy and said she could get one out Tuesday. Perfect. So I 'm going through my emails and deleting several and was going to empty my trash folder, but I always look one last time before I empty it. What do I see? I see Chelsea's two previous emails that went right into trash, bypassing my inbox and Spam folder. I downloaded the DROS to my computer. I called my Internet Service Provider and the fault was theirs. Something in their system was dumping emails into my trash and not my inbox. That problem is now resolved. But I can't thank ASP enough for their patience and making every effort to help me...and in spite of me being annoying, they were nothing but patient and courteous . A++++bin my book.

I took their beginning women's course. Blade and Chris were so amazing. They made us feel…read morecomfortable around the guns and walked beside us the whole way. Then in the afternoon they had several coaches bring guns and we were able to try them all while being trained at the same time. Blade stayed after and helped me with my new gun my husband bought me. You could see he really cares. All of them did. I am looking forward to practicing again and Chris and Blade even offered to meet us to help us learn. I highly recommend this class. All women should go through this whether you want a gun or not. There were all ages from mother and daughter to your grandmother. Zero skills to people with skills. My confidence has gone way up since I understand more what it's about, the gun, and safety rules. Again, whether you believe in guns or deathly afraid, after this class it will give you the understanding of safety and handling. They have classes for younger kids too. Sign em up!

We had aproximately 16 ladies in class, and after the morning instruction, had about 2+ hours of shooting, with various volunteer instructors practicing with various guns (aprox 20). This is really great with those of us in the market to purchase a pistol or rifle, and learn what is a good fit or not. The class was very informative, low cost considering the amount of information and safety training you get, feed us breakfast and lunch, and we didn't have to bring our own fire arms, unless we wanted to. As a bonus, we had a Ladies Shoot night for those of us who are already gun owners, and for 2+ hours after USI Range hours, we had full access to practice shooting our own fire arms, with guidance from the well trained volunteer instructors , which was extremely helpful for us newbies!!! I can't say enough great things about our instructors Chris and Blade, and all the Volunteer Expert Coaches! Seperate from the Women's Classes and Shooting event, the club is run by just a really nice family oriented group of people. They have monthly meetings, potlucks, and lots of activities to keep everyone interested. All very kind, and willing to help out a newbie in learning a new sports and self defense. Anyone thinking of owning a fire arm should come take their classes and seriously consider joining their Diablo Rod & Gun Club! You won't be disappointed!!!
