    Where are the long distance ranges in Bay Area?

    Most here only have 100 yard rifle lines. I see that Field Sports Park & Chabot Gun Club do have 200 yard lines but not open to public most of the time. How about longer distance like 300 yard or 500 yard range somewhere?

    So the deal is that I am trying to justify a new purchase of a Bohica 50 DTC upper. Simply don't want to find out no place to shoot after spending a lot on upper & ammo.

    Circle S near Petaluma has 100, 200, and 300 yards. I belive that Cow Mountain near Ukiah goes out to 500.

      Manteca maybe the closest but only has a 100 yard range.
      Linden rifle club has a 200 yard range.

      Both are open to the public.
      Manteca Sportsmen General website.

        Livermore has a 200 yard range too, and it doesn't have the same time restrictions as Chabot.

        Sacramento is probably going to be the closest 200+ yard range.

            The last 4 lanes on the far right. At least it used to be. Thought they still had it the last time I was out there.

              Go to Panoche. I'm sure you can find areas out there to shoot out to 1000 yds.

                      Circle S goes out to 300 yards. Panoche you can probably go pretty far if you find a good spot. I haven't been to Cow Mtn yet but someone above said it goes out to 500.

                      Order the Bohica There are plenty of places to shoot long distance

                        Livermore no longer has a 200 yard range. When they built their new shooting stalls the max range is now 100 yds.

                          Sounds like a good place but imagine passing through the city w/ a 50 cal sniper rifle in my car ...

                          FYI

                          Bohica Arms FAR-50 MK-II

                              circle S: 300 yards max

                              Cow Mountain: aparently out to 400, but I have heard of people going out to 500 (must move back from the firing line)
