Looking for Local Place to Shoot Clays

[wilit]

Is there any places out near Tracy? I live out there and it seems more rural.

Lived out in the Tracy area for close to 15 years. Short answer, nope. All the good spots are either private land or have been built over. Closest public area is BLM in Panoche Hills. About 2.5 hours south on 5. Or you could go to the National Forrest in the Sierras, but that's not really conducive to throwing clays since all those silly trees get in the way.

There's quite a few sporting clays places out in the valley. I've only been to Coyote Valley, but I hear the others are nice. Someone else mentioned Los Altos Gun Club. It's a trek from our neck of the woods, but really a great spot for teaching new shooters. They have manually operated throwers and you can spend all day there and go at your own pace. Nice scenery too.

I swung by Livermore Rod & Gun last night and talked to the guys there. Looks like a nice set up and I can bring my bow as well and go shoot at the archery range. I think I'll give it a go this weekend.

Los Altos sounds like a great place if i can throw my own clays for $15. I may have to look into that as well.

Bird Landing may be another place I need to check out. This is all great stuff, thanks everyone for the help. Can't wait to get back to shooting a bit!

Livermore also has night trap shooting every Tuesday from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M.
