here is the only "legal" shooting place for long distance.
http://www.sacvalley.org/index.html must join and jump hoops to use the long range. .

Folks from SoCal routinely drive all the way up there to shoot matches. I have. Several times. Get in contact with NCPPRC. Great guys. They'll get you started.

Not really any hoops, just have to know what days they schedule "practice" days. The main issue is you have to have sufficient people, enough for multiples in the pits and on the line. This is a safety rule.
Sac Valley/Folsom Shooting Club is, without a doubt, the best shooting facility in CA. There are lots of uses on the 1000 yard range, everything from vintage military, F class and space rifles. Plenty of opportunity for you.

2nd for Sac Valley 1000 yard range
Its a range unlike any other in CA, its big, its open. The best you can hope for in the bay area is 100 yards. Best range in the bay area is the Chabot Gun Club in Castro Valley, pretty forested area, only 100 yards though but I'd check it if I were you. |

I would think Sunnyvale Gun club better, closer to me and well run, nice people. I shot at Chabot also, indeed nice place.
San Jose public range has 200 yards, please check the website for the date of open and call in advance also. I've went there expecting to shoot at the 200 yards, but was told it is closed that day (web says it should be open) and I should call in advance.

I vote for panoche also for 1000 yards. I have a 1300 and 1770 yard range out there. Just cruze google earth along the main and side roads, you'll eventually find a good spot to investigate when you drive out there, including GPS coordinates, tracks, street-level views, etc. Panoche for me is EXACTLY 2 hours by car if we take hwy 5, and if we take little panoche road to Tres Pinos it's 1 hr 50 minutes. |

Too tacticool for me. I don't even like the sunshade on my scope, I leave it off.
But it IS a dream to shoot. The brake is shockingly effective. Shockingly. You want a fun time sometime, nab some crush washers from Brownells and take the brake off. Doesn't recoil too bad at all. Like a 20 ga. But once the brake is back on it's easy to see just how effective that design is. Last edited by Whiterabbit; 09-27-2013 at 11:25 AM.. |

I've got dozens of traditional hunting rifles, shotguns and pistols but have resisited the whole tactical thing for decades. Slowly, I am moving that direction for home defense (M&P 45 instead of Colt Python) and now target shooting (100BA, AR10, AR15 instead of various Rem700, Rem40XB, etc.) I'm not abandoning the traditional, just branching out into new territory.
Amazing how small that 111 looks compared to the 110. I know there will be days when I regret buying such a big gun....well, maybe not |

good luck. I put down a group 1/2" tall and 2 inches wide at 320 yards on a rickety table with that rest up there with handloads the last time I went to Panoche. I'm no long range shooter. The accuracy potential is there.

google panoche. Check it out on google maps or google earth. Then hop in your car with a buddy, your guns, and some standing targets and drive out there. You don't have to go far in or get off the main road to find suitable locations to set up shop.

Dunno anything about CPRC, but seriously, google panoche. Just type it into google. I'm telling you, a google of panoche is gonna answer everything. Between what you find in google, when you google panoche, by typing panoche into google, after calling the Hollister BLM and saying "hey, I hear I can target shoot on panoche, is that true?", and after reading my recommendation in post 23 on how to accomplish the deed, you'll be totally set.
That, or I completely misunderstood your question. (try "panoche BLM" as the keywords and hitting "im feeling lucky") |

I had a feeling it was you. I had a Nissan Altima with a full DLS sound system in my car. It's nice to run into you on this forum here. I guess we have common interests. I'm saving up money right now for a long range build after I finish up a few more AR builds I have in the works.

Did you know Bing is still holding shows? Keep coming out. I bring the car to every show I'm made aware of. Shows are in San Jose near the old site for Valkrie Arms. Some indoor sports center.

We shoot 50bmg's to 2300 yards at Cow Mountain recreation area two hours north of the golden gate bridge.I would pass on Sacramento.Its a great facility but some there are not as nice as others.
Jim O'connel is the greatest guy there and his morals are beyond reproach but not everyone is Jim O'connel.. |

So looks like the choices are:
Tumney Hills / Panoche Cow Mountain My questions are: 1. What are the exact places to go and directions to them? 2. What precautions to take when planning for shooting out there? 3. Any law enforcement considerations to think about? Thanks, all-cal |

Get you to that intersection, then take the access road. Once past the bathroom, pull over anywhere you see 1000 yards plus backstop and enjoy. 2. precautions, there are NO services. Bring your own water, targets, etc. 3. I've never seen LE out there. Occasionally a shooter. Easy to find your own place. Enjoy! |

Range 8 at Chabot goes to 200 yards and has pits. It's used for Highpower competition, and as far as I know is open for practice on Thursdays. Also, USI in Concord has a 200 yard multipurpose range, open to members and guests. Membership is a staggering $25 a year.
