Once in a while, a long drive , though it is 101 all the way exiting 303 to Soledad in Monterey County , the Astoria Logistics range -a renovated military range gives up to 700 yards options on steel. If your scope has a holdover, your return to 100/200 yards Zero is better guaranteed . It is a looong drive -hour and a half - so closer ranges even in South San Jose make best sense. Metcalf serves those here. Here at Metcalf, paper Targets at 100 yards downrange are the practice de jour. There are 200 yards ranges nearby that are not as economical as the more commonly used 100 (and also 50 yards ). Use this range to either get reacquainted or stay current .

The safety test was easy and they were super helpful, even gave some complementary paper targets! It is a little pricy for day use and their annual membership but it covers the whole day. They literally have all kinds of ranges for every firearm. Even a tin can area! Definitely coming back! Always cooler here too due to the elevation. It definitely gets back after 11am on a weekend for the pistol range. The long rifle area was empty the whole time which was nice .

I took the BPS (Basic Pistol Shooting) course with Bertrand, who was recommended to me by friends…read morethat had taken courses with him before. Bertrand is extremely knowledgeable and meticulous in his lessons, with safety always at the forefront of everything he teaches. You'll likely walk out with newfound confidence and competency about using firearms, I certainly did. The BPS course was broken up into 4 parts - a self-paced online course, an in-person classroom session, 2 hour private range practice time, and 1 hour gun cleaning session (sometimes the gun cleaning is done at the range, though that'll depending on timing). Detailed information about each section will be provided once you sign up for the course. The classroom session was a group session, and it went almost 6 hours for our class (you basically go over everything that was taught in the online course, and then do some dry-firing exercises). The range time was great because it was a private coaching session, and usually done at non-public hours at the range, so there are no other distractions. One caveat - Bertrand is a bit of a drill sergeant, and while this approach may work for some people, others might prefer a softer touch. That being said, he does make sure you walk out with a wealth of knowledge and is extremely passionate about teaching. I had previously tried shooting once before, and I was taught next to nothing compared to what I learned through this course. An excellent surprise bonus to this course was how well I was able to shoot in our range session, and I definitely give kudos to Bertrand for his excellent course and training. He offers a wide variety of courses and is super responsive. If you're looking to safely learn how to use a firearm, SFE is the way to go.

I kept on hearing good thing about it but I never went there until last week and I regret not…read morecoming here sooner. This is indeed the best range in the Bay Area. Although the name says Sunnyvale but it's closer to the Cupertino mountains. Although the map shows a long windy road heading there from 280, it's not bad not long at all. The range unfortunately is only open to the public on Tuesday or Saturday. The parking lot is huge and the restroom is on the other side of the parking lot from the main buildings. The checkin is at a small window next to the pistol/rifle range; you don't actually go into the office. After you pay you enter a steel gate where the stands are indoors but the targets are outdoors. The only problem is that there is a limited number of bays so I can see that it could get super busy and you might have to wait. The people there are friendly and no fuss. I don't think this is a good place for absolute beginner because the distance to the closest target is about 20? yards which might be too far for most beginner shooters. What I absolutely love about this range is the availability of steel targets at 25 and 100 yards. This is rare for most ranges at the Bay Area. Also they are not fussy about "rapid" fire. Also they provide paper targets and paint spray for the steel targets for free. The cost of the range is only $25 which is really cheap compared to most other ranges with the exception of Metcalf. I think I will come to this range every Tuesday from now on. There is also a shotgun range. Overall, this is absolutely my favorite range in the Bay Area for myself.

The rifle and pistol areas are only $25 per person, but I am not sure if they offer gun rentals since I brought my own gear. This place feels more suitable for advanced shooters; beginners might find it a bit less friendly. However, once you get used to the target change schedule, you can even shoot at 25 feet, 50 feet, and 100 feet. Remember not to wear too many layers, it gets really hot! Also, make sure to bring your own earplugs or noise-canceling headphones along with safety glasses. Personally, I use Meta glasses. 寬廣的靶場，提供給散彈槍、步槍和手槍射擊的空間，入場費不算貴，步槍和手槍的區域一個人才$25，但是我不是很確定能否提供租槍服務，因為我是自己帶裝備去的。感覺這裡比較適合進階的玩家去，初學者在這裡會感覺稍微有一點不太友善。但是一但習慣這裡的換靶時間以後，這裡甚至可以打25呎、50呎和100呎的靶位！記得別穿太多，很熱！！！但是記得自己帶一個耳塞或是耳機可以降噪那種，加上一個護目鏡，我個人是使用Meta眼鏡。

I took my CCW training and qual with Bay Area Tactical and have to say, they are fantastic group of guys. The courses were great in that they struck what in my opinion was a good balance of basic and more advanced instruction that allowed both beginners and more seasoned individuals to gain something from the course. The instructors were very friendly and gave good and solid advice. I did receive a critique on my shooting form a few times, but it was given in a constructive way, and it continues to be helpful to this day. I did end up passing my qual on the first try! I will most likely take my next CCW trainings with this group in the future when I will have to renew my permit. Highly recommend!

It's surprisingly busy for a small store but then almost all the LGS can be somewhat busy. The plaza is very small and parking can be difficult. Also be careful when you back out because you have to back out into the main street. The store is not very big and it's mostly catered towards newer guns as it has a small used/consignment section. People are nice enough and they didn't quell when you do PPT there. They don't charge extra for PPT but they do charge 3% extra for credit card. I found the price of the guns there to be slightly expensive so I wouldn't say this is a good place for deals. The form you fill out for DROS is online and you do it on your phone with a QR code. It's pretty cool but can be hard if you have a small phone.
