Where can I target shoot 200 plus yards with my FX M3 in Northern California?

[rodjava]

Where can I target shoot 200 to 500 yards with my FX M3 in Northern California? I live in the San Francisco Bay area.

The great range I shoot at has a 200 yard max.

Thanks in advance.

Diablo Rod & Gun.

Airgun Wednesdays and Fridays. 

.30 maximum

You would need to go to BLM land or a national forest if you really want to go past 200 yds I don't know of any public rifle ranges in the Bay Area that go past 200 yds.

HI PeeWeeDaddy,

Yes, it shoot every Wednesday at the Diablo range as I am am member. I shoot golf balls at 200 yards and was looking for more of a challenge. I guess I will have to look into a National Forest.

Hi Napaairgunner,

Thanks for chiming in. I have never been to a BLM property and will look into it.

I was wrong this range in the SF Bay area say it can go out to 300 yds https://www.sonomashooting.org/circles.html

Check out the Richmond shooting range...yes Richmond, CA.

there is a private property outside of Livermore, charges per day, offers up to 1,000 yards. for the day, you get the key to the gate, set up you own targets as needed. It's off of Mines Road, and listed on Cal guns.

Morro bay has some great long distance ranges as well.

Based on distance from my home, the Circle S Ranch range is the best possibility for me. Their website shows max 300 yards, which is a good starting point for me.

Has any AirGunNation member shot as this range recently and have any good intel on what to expect for air gunners at this range?

I read the specs on this place and think it's a great location if I were shooting competition and my budget included $100 per day for range fees.

I hear you. Having a place that is private assures you some safety you may not feel on BLM land. I used to hunt and shoot on BLM land, & still do shoot up in the Sierras. People come out of nowhere, or without respect for others. Be safe if you decide to go that route 

A hundred bones seems like a bit of coin- are you a Diablo member? There are a lot of LD shooters in the club, we could arrange a club event or two. Might have to include powder burners as well to get enough numbers to offset the century note cost.

HI oakhonor,

Yes, I am a fairly new club member (6 months) at the Diablo Rod and Gun club and shoot just about every Wednesday. Since I got turned on to Strelok Pro, I wanted to test the app and myself beyond 200 yards. I definitely would be game to join a club event when ever and where ever possible.

Rodjava circle s ranch does have 300 yard max , in the winter months you should wear good boots because it's swampy , it does get windy so the earlier the better, don't think airguns will be a problem

sigamander,

From some of the reviews I have read, it's best not to dawdle to and from the 300 yard marker. Otherwise someone won't take kindly to it. I'm going to give it a try once I know the ground is nice and dry.

You can put paper targets up, but most pb shooter put out clay pigeons at 300 yard's

How are PB setting out clay targets at 300 yards? Hanging them on the target stands or placing them on the ground or on the back berm? I only have this one picture of the Circle range. Any advance intel would be great. I don't want any unwanted attention from the RSO if possible.

Clay pigeons are shot on the ground 50 - 300 yards (back berm)

Paper targets only on wood target stands, yea they don't want there stands all shot up, entree fee is cash only
