Where to test shotgun in east bay?
I’m taking a shotgun class in early December and am looking for somewhere to test out a few guns beforehand. All I really need is somewhere where I can just load up a few shotguns with 3 or 4 different types of ammo (mostly 00 buck and slugs) and shoot them at a fairly rapid pace to make sure they’re not finicky with the ammo. The local ranges I’ve been to are pretty strict with their shotgun rules - slugs only, no rapid fire, etc. anyone know of a good place?

I remember shooting buckshot at Richmond a few years ago on their public rifle range off to the far right. Call them, see what they say

Dublin also allows shotguns. Only out to 25 years. Not sure of ammo allowed though. Check out their website or call the range.

I’m leaning toward that. Just found out I need to drive down to LA in a couple weeks so I plan to visit Tumey Hills on the way down there. |

I believe Linden has a couple lanes with chain link fence instead of target stands where you can shoot buckshot. At least, that was the case about 6 months ago. RRGC's action range is the only range I can think of in the east bay that fits all your requirements, but you need to have taken their safety class or have shot competition (USPSA, IPDA, etc.) to shoot there and it is only open Saturday 0930-1330.

Richmond has 2 shooting lanes on the far right of the pistol line specifically for shotgun shooting. Same requirements on time per shot as pistol, no more than 1 shot every 4 seconds. We sell birdshot, 00 buck, and slugs for testing. You can bring your own. Unlike the skeet range, there is no restriction on payload (lead is allowed). Shotguns not allowed are pistol grip only guns. It must have a stock. Pistol grip stocks similar to the Benelli M2 are allowed (they have a shoulder stock).
Action range has the requirements above.. We do have a multi-gun practice on bay 4 of the action range every first Saturday but this sounds like you just want to test how the gun functions with different ammo. |
